Many people think acceptance is weak or it’s something we do when we are defeated. It’s actually the opposite. There is great power in acceptance. It’s a choice we make from a clear intentional place within. When we do this our drama or anger can be done and gone. In today’s show, I speak with you about accepting things we are not happy about, things we cannot change, and how our lives can transform with acceptance.

After four years of this podcast, I felt like it was time for a refresher of the three chairs. In this show, I discuss where the Adult Chair model came from and a review of the three chairs. For longtime listeners, this will reinforce your knowledge of the Adult Chair. For new listeners, this will help you to build a foundation for this model. Either way, it’s filled with great information about the three chairs!
