Emotional Childhood vs. Emotional Adulthood: A Valuable Lesson on Taking Control of Your Happiness w/Krista Olsen

85 - 90% of adults function in emotional childhood. We outsource our happiness to others. We blame, rage, lash out and generally avoid taking full responsibility for how we think and feel. It’s what we’ve been taught our entire lives - but unfortunately what we’ve been taught significantly disempowers us.
