Show Notes:
We all have patterns of behavior that are passed down by our families (parents). Those patterns supported us, but may be outdated now.
Our parents did their best and wanted to keep us safe, but not all patterns support us in living with peace and joy today.
We have a choice. We can choose to continue in our patterns (martyrdom, victim, overdoer, people pleaser, etc) or, when they reveal themselves, we can choose to behave or believe something else.
