Wiggle Room Podcast: Episode 1

What Exactly Is The Work of Byron Katie? + Doing The Work on "I’m Not Good Enough"

Is The Work a Way of Avoiding Problems

In this first episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast, we start from the beginning: “What exactly is The Work of Byron Katie?” I love how this simple, meditative practice of self-inquiry brings me back to peace no matter what is going on. But what exactly is it?

Open Session Recording

The dialogues and questions in the first half of this episode are taken from one of my weekly Open Sessions. You can also be a participant in Open Sessions each week to do The Work with me or ask your questions.

Listen as someone does The Work on the thought, “I’m not good enough.” This is an unedited recording so you can experience how I do The Work in real life with any stressful thought that comes up.

Once you’ve heard the dialogue, then we’ll go over the details of what The Work of Byron Katie actually is.

Newsletter Text

In the second half of the recording, I read my article, “What Exactly is The Work?” During the reading, I add new things that come to mind in addition to the text I wrote. 

I also encourage you to subscribe to my newsletter to get new articles like this one each week.
