Jason and Barbara Hettinger dig into the practice of reframing our internal narrative, starting with a beautiful true story about an elderly man in an Indian leper colony whose simple philosophy, "if you have 10 rupees, do not wish for 20", radiated a joy that changed the outlook of everyone around him. Barbara introduces a powerful, simple tool: replacing "I feel like you..." (an accusation) with "I feel [emotion] when..." (an honest, owned feeling), paired with a stoplight method for emotional self-regulation. The conversation closes by connecting these reframing tools directly to the risk factors behind suicide in construction, making the case that better internal stories genuinely protect people from compounding stress.
