Ever wonder why you keep ending up in the same kinds of relationships, jobs, or conflicts—no matter how hard you try to do things differently? Yep, me too. In this episode, I’m joined once again by my amazing husband, Bob Hamp (licensed marriage & family therapist, author, speaker, and organizational consultant) to dive deep into why we keep repeating patterns from our family of origin—and how to finally break free.   Bob explains how family systems shape the way we think, feel, and respond, not just in our homes but in our workplaces, friendships, and even marriages. We talk about how your family role (oldest child, middle child, youngest, or only) can unconsciously influence your choices—like who you date, how you parent, and how you lead. And here’s the kicker: you will keep repeating these patterns… until you don’t.   We unpack what it really takes to stop recreating those unhealthy cycles, starting with awareness (becoming the “observer” of your own reactions), then learning to regulate your emotions, and finally interrupting old communication loops that keep you stuck. Bob shares how these same principles transform businesses and organizations, not just individuals, and why learning to step outside the system—what he calls taking a “meta perspective”—is the key to lasting change.   This episode is packed with “aha” moments and practical wisdom that can help you change your family story for good.     ✨ Subscribe to Think Differently Academy at TDACAD.com & get your free workbook at TDAHyou.com. 📚 Grab Bob’s book: Think Differently Learn Differently 📱 Follow Bob: FB, IG & Twitter @BobHamp 📱 Follow me: Instagram | Facebook
