Last week I shared my simple Year In Review questions, that I use to harvest my learnings from the previous 12 months and kick off a celebration of my growth and achievements. Hopefully you carved out time to reflect on your year gone by too. Now its time to switch our focus forward, stirring up […]
How to ease up on your dreams to get more of what you want
The alarm sounds, 4.40am! My feet gingerly hit the floor and I quietly move through the darkness to the bathroom. I shower quickly, apply a full face of makeup, tie my hair in a neat ponytail and wiggle my way into a pair of stockings. I take a moment to marvel at what’s now my […]
What are you willing to struggle for?
