  This past week Typhoon Honey (Girrell & Sjogren) has received two stellar book reviews: From Readers' Favorite review: After reading Typhoon Honey, I felt I had unlocked something supernatural—a new pair of glasses that gives me a different, liberating view of the world. The idea that "what we see is filtered and tainted by our belief system" is helping me to examine learned beliefs that no longer serve me in the process of deconstructing them. Typhoon Honey is filled with several exercises, details about experiments, and examples from the authors' personal experiences and that of the people they know. I got a clear understanding of the concepts as different scientific and psychological studies are juxtaposed with several real-life examples. I believe that the mind-blowing ideas and stories in this phenomenal self-help book by Kris Girrell and Candace Klein Sjogren could help unite the world and reduce suffering as they encourage readers to heal from harmful, d...

  There’s a moment in every life when the question shifts from “What happened to me?” to “What do I choose next?” That moment is accountability. Not blame. Not shame. Accountability. It’s the quiet, powerful decision to stop outsourcing your future to circumstance, history, or other people’s choices. 1. Accountability is not guilt—it’s authorship Guilt says, “I messed up.” Accountability says, “I have the power to change direction.” Guilt keeps you stuck in the past. Accountability moves you forward. When you become accountable, you stop waiting for rescue. You stop waiting for permission. You stop waiting for conditions to be perfect. You start writing your own future. 2. Accountability means owning your influence You may not control everything. But you influence far more than you think: Your mindset Your reactions Your boundaries Your habits Your relationships Your environment Your next step When you own your influence, you stop being a character in someone else’s stor...

  We often think of reality as something fixed. Something external. Something that happens to us. But reality is not a monolith. It’s a mosaic—shaped by perception, filtered through belief, and colored by memory. What we call “reality” is often just a consensus of assumptions we’ve never examined. To become the source of your own life, you must begin here: Reality is not the same as truth. And it is not the same as possibility. 1. Reality is a story told by your nervous system Your brain is a pattern‑recognition machine. It scans for danger, repeats what’s familiar, and fills in blanks with past experience. That means your “reality” is often a loop—reinforcing what you already expect. If you expect rejection, you’ll notice every cold glance. If you expect failure, you’ll interpret every delay as doom. This isn’t delusion. It’s biology. And it means you can change your reality by changing what you expect. 2. Reality is not neutral—it’s shaped by meaning Two people can live...

  Most of us move through the world carrying an invisible script we never wrote. It’s stitched together from childhood roles, cultural expectations, old feedback loops, and the stories other people told about us long before we had the language to disagree. These scripts shape what we believe we’re capable of, what we think we deserve, and how much space we allow ourselves to take up. And then one day—sometimes quietly, sometimes in crisis—we realize the script is running our life more than our actual choices are. Taking control of your life begins with recognizing this: You are not the story you inherited. You are the one who gets to revise it. 1. Notice the “I am” statements that run your life Limiting self‑concepts rarely announce themselves. They hide inside everyday phrases: “I’m just not good at that.” “I always mess things up.” “I’m the responsible one.” “I’m too old to start.” “I’m the one who keeps the peace.” These aren’t personality traits. They’re conclusion...
