About This Episode

Is the story you have in your mind influencing your relationships with your partner, colleague, or family member?

We all know what it’s like to get caught in our thoughts, replaying something that was said and building a story about what it means.

In this episode, Barb is joined by Angus Ross, a transformational coach and co-host of the Awaken to Love podcast. They explore why we get gripped by story and what changes when we begin to see it with more clarity.

Angus and his wife Rohini work primarily with couples, helping them move through conflict, disconnection, and long-standing patterns. At the heart of that work is a simple but powerful shift from being lost in thought to becoming present to what is actually happening.

In our conversation, we explore how thinking shapes our emotional experience, why we get pulled into stories in relationships, and what becomes possible when we come back to what we are actually feeling.
