The Science of
Choosing Self-Leadership
Your Behavior is Your Brand. Do you feel exhausted by the confusing or hostile behavior of someone you love and trust? Are you traumatized by a personal or professional relationship with someone who everyone thinks is a good person except for you? Have you researched different narcissistic types, but end up feeling even more bewildered and alone? Well guess what!? You are not alone! Your nervous system may be experiencing dysregulation caused by the chaos of emotional abuse or institutional gaslighting (or both!). If you wish to reclaim your response-ability to triggers, I can teach you how to escape the insidious trap of feeling abandoned, provoked, delayed, and betrayed by someone who pretended to care about you. My science-based, 99-Second Follow Your B.L.I.S.S. Yoga Habits framework enables you to recharge your power and revive your peace step-by-step. You can start to behave like a grounded human by Choosing Emotional Agency now!
Self-Leadership is Your Goal. We all fight the temptations and addictions of our four predictable personalities in our brains. Your Kingdom Within has four specific narcissistic tendencies. They are you. (Gasp!) You may believe that you must invest tons of time, money, and effort learning how to diffuse negative emotions and navigate narcissistic behaviors, but that is 100% false! Choosing to meet, greet, and unite your four brains and basking in the harmonious energy of the Superhero Effect™ is only 99 seconds away!

Building healthy relationships requires conscious protection and love for Mother Gaia.
Royal Round Table
Circle Time
Four personalities reside inside your brain as Your Kingdom Within. Each has a separate ego with a unique set of knowledge, skills, and abilities. They must schedule Royal Round Table Circle Time to check in on each other's needs daily. Listen to them. Speak kindly to them. Love them and respect them. They are You! Out of Balance, they have reactive, unrealistic goals, and tend to blame game and compete. In Balance, they have strategic, unified goals, and choose to collaborate and bond. Each seek equity by acts of active empathy.
Conscious and unconscious do not make a whole when one of them is suppressed and injured by the other. If they must contend, at least let it be a fair fight with equal rights on both sides. Both are aspects of life. Consciousness should defend its reason and protect itself. And the chaotic life of the unconscious should be given the chance of having its way too, as much of it as we can stand.
This means open conflict and open collaboration at once!
