On this episode, Brian and Rosemary explore allowing changes in one's path as well as incorporating different perspectives to transform and grow.

Rosemary's Background and Journey:
Starting with a legal education that didn't suit her personality, then discovering a passion for mediation and alternative dispute resolution. This led her to explore human behavior, trauma, child development, and eventually becoming a counselor and writer focused on self-improvement and personal growth.

Limitations of the Traditional Legal System:
Rosemary discusses how the traditional legal system for family disputes is often not user-friendly, focused on individual interests rather than the bigger picture, and lacks a trauma-informed approach. Mediation provides a more flexible, open, and family-centric process.

Strengths-Based Approach vs. Deficit Lens:
Rosemary contrasts the strengths-based approach she adopted, which focuses on people's capabilities and positive attributes, versus the more common "deficit lens" that emphasizes weaknesses and problems. This shift in perspective had a significant impact on her own self-confidence and career.

The Power of Reflection and Rewriting Narratives:
Rosemary discusses how her observations of people managing adversity, combined with a strengths-based approach, led her to write a book focused on self-reflection and rewriting negative narratives. She explains the practical tools and exercises she provides to help readers shift their mindset.

Rosemary has been in alternate dispute resolution for over 15 years, specialising in family mediation and restorative justice practices.
Merging her experience as a family mediator with her study of neuroscience and trauma, she explores ways to live in a trauma-informed and strengths-based way, which is the subject of her first book.
As a chronic over-thinker, Rosemary experienced first-hand the transformative impact of rewriting overthinking into strengths-based reflection and is committed to sharing this with the world.
