The central theme of the episode is course correction. Marlowe and Shelly share examples of how awareness and acknowledgment of an issue can empower you to choose a new path or move in a different direction. The power lies in not judging ourselves for eating the entire sleeve of cookies or wanting a “fancy” meal; we must acknowledge our desires and make a decision.

Whether you shake up your routine by cutting your hair or question your disdain for small talk, you must get to the root of the issue. This episode will inspire you to understand better, address relationship patterns, habits, and traditions, and consider creating a more fulfilling life. To live an authentic life, you must be courageous, introspective, and committed to personal growth.
