What if your emotions are not happening to you, but through you? On Soul Sparks, host Nazish sits with psychotherapist Byron Athene to question what we were taught about our feelings.
You will leave with a freer relationship with your own mind, where negative emotions become messengers, not malfunctions, and a growth mindset feels like something you switch back on.
About the Guest:
Byron Athene is a counselling psychotherapist, life coach, and author who overcame a lifelong stutter using the growth mindset he now teaches. He blends ancient philosophy with modern psychology, and recently published Find Your Path to Resilience.
Key Takeaways:
- Emotions move through you, not at you. That shift changes how you respond to life.
- Negative feelings are messengers, not malfunctions. Listen before you fight them.
- You were born with a growth mindset. Often it is switched off, not missing.
- Self worth is intrinsic value. Self esteem is how much you like yourself. Do not confuse them.
- Work with your protective parts, not against them. Compassion heals faster than force.
