This episode is named after a book by Eric Maisel, PhD that I am currently reading. From the initial chapters, I can tell you that it is about changing not only what you think, but also how you think, using the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy. On the back jacket of the book, the author includes information that will ultimately do the following:

“∙ increase your creativity

∙ reduce your anxiety

∙ heal from past trauma

∙ achieve emotional well-being, and

∙ live your life purpose.”

Some people need a book to help guide them on such a transformational learning experience. Other people live it and just seem to figure out how to get through it.

My guest on today’s episode of the FFAB podcast is such a person.

I honestly do not remember where Carmelina Baccari and I first met. It must have been through socializing somewhere among mutual friends.

She and I bumped into each other recently at a wedding—of a mutual friend that neither one of us knew that we shared.

Carmelina and I chatted briefly, and I knew that hers is a story that must be told—boldly and widely. It is a tale of redesign, reformation, and resilience. It is also one of choice, healing, self-love, and the paradox of losing yourself to re-create yourself.

Carmelina joins me today via Streamyard on the Forever FAB Podcast to discuss healing, self-love, and the paradox of losing yourself to re-create yourself.
