#111 | Authentic Inquiry: Avoiding Forced Answers to Question 4 in The Work of Byron Katie

In this episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast, a participant asks about how to stop forcing herself, or faking it, when answering Question 4 of The Work. Later, I answer a question that someone recently asked me, “Are motives bad?” and does questioning a motive mean I should drop it?   You can also listen to this podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
