Have you ever wondered how personal transformation impacts your relationships and sense of self? This week on the Q&A Files, we start off by sharing some of our own personal milestones—Dr. Jeff's excitement over his upcoming move and Trisha's heartfelt gratitude for our incredible listeners. We then dive into a profound question from listener Ben about the effects of change on one's true self and relationships. Dr. Jeff reflects on his journey from a rigid, self-centered approach to a more balanced, self-aware stance, thanks to self-reflection and Tricia's patience.
