Catastrophizing turns small setbacks into imagined disasters, and Armand DiMele unpacks why so many people do it.

Finding Your Path with a Heart Undated

Host: Armand DiMeleGuests: Angela, Gina, Steven, Sue, Vincent
Category: Identity & The Self, Personal Growth & Change

What does it mean to live a life that actually fits you? Armand DiMele draws on Carlos Castaneda’s concept of “a path with a heart” to argue that most people lose their authentic selves in childhood and spend adulthood on paths that quietly weaken them. Callers share their own struggles with direction, unfulfilling relationships, and the search for meaning.
