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?
Often when people come to me it’s because they’re fed up, frustrated and exhausted from months, and even years of wanting to change something in their life and not succeeding.
