You can see the pattern.
So why does it keep happening?
Ask Althea is a free community built on the framework in the book MIND CONTROL, for bringing more awareness and choice into everyday life.
Sound familiar?
You say yes when you mean no.
You have the same argument you swore you'd never have again.
You know you don't need their approval. You work for it anyway.
Seeing the pattern is a beginning.
When Phil asked 160 people about the beliefs holding them back, 158 could name one. They could see the belief, and it was still costing them. MIND CONTROL was written for that gap, between seeing a pattern and choosing something different.
Changing a familiar pattern usually takes more than trying harder. It starts with noticing the moment before the old reaction takes over, and pausing long enough to choose what comes next.
What Ask Althea is
A framework, and a place to live it.
MIND CONTROL presents a complete, practical framework for leading your own mind: where your patterns come from, who you are beneath them, how to catch them in the moment, how to return to choice, and how to create your life on purpose. It's built to leave no missing pieces, and you're invited to test every one against your own experience.
Ask Althea is built on that framework. It's the ground the community stands on: a shared language and practice, with room for each person's experience. It's deeply spiritual, and it welcomes any faith or none at all.

Who we are
Come sit with us.
We're Phil and Rachelle, and together we founded Ask Althea. Phil wrote MIND CONTROL. Rachelle has been his thinking partner from the start, and the framework took shape over years of conversation between them. She's also narrating the audiobook.
We're building a place where someone can say,
“I lost it today.”
and hear back,
“I know. Me too. Let's keep going.”
