Today I spoke with PeggySue Wells the bestselling author of 30 books including the What To Do Series, The Slave Across the Street, Bonding With Your Child Through Boundaries, The Ten Best Decisions A Single Mom Can Make, and her upcoming book, The Patent.
Have you ever sat around a dinner table or walked into a business meeting and felt a tension in the air? During our conversation on relationships we discover this tension’s cause is the five R’s:
1) Rejection
2) Resentment
3) Resistance
4) Revenge and
5) Repeat
And how being aware of this cycle can help us break free and flourish in our work and home relationships.
PeggySue taught me an invaluable question to ask in tense situations… “What did you hear me say?”
We ended our conversation by discussing the process of writing books and how PeggySue has been able to write over 30 books, coach others to write their first books, and how all of us can become a writer.
Please enjoy this insightful conversation with PeggySue, I sure did.
