I was talking with a client recently, and towards the end of our session she stated that she wanted to set a couple of intentions to which I would hold her accountable. For this client, this is less about specific action steps and more about a heart attitude towards the actions that she knows will…
What one thing are you going to STOP doing this year?
New year, new you? No, me neither. January is a cold, dark and generally uninspiring month at the best of times. One that leaves us feeling just a little bit meh (or frobly mobly if you want to be a bit more 18th century about it – more here if you are intrigued…). And to…
The power of choice: to forgive.. apologise..take action
