We "pre-block" the fire in our heart from having the opportunity to grow and flourish. In this episode, learn Sandra's 5 fun and playful methods for raising our believability threshold. Because as Elf Judy said, "Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing." The reality you know is true is the reality that is t...

It's a game that, when applied to the great stage of life, keeps us actively in the ping pong match of response-ability. We understand that the "and" is all important because that is where our offer lies. However, "Yes, and…" has a sister game: "Yes, but…" which is a game of accepting and blocking.
