Below the Waterline

This is episode is a real gift. I decided to give you the exact five-step process I use in my masterclasses, retreats, and one-to-ones,  the same process that stops people in their tracks every time. We go below the surface to find where your values really came from, what they were protecting, and whether they still serve who you are today. The five steps: Name it When did I first learn this?

You'll wal...

What if the person you've been searching for was already there all along? In this special episode, number three, Ratna takes an intentional detour from the values work to share a powerful experience from the UK's first HKL International Conference,  a gathering built around three words: Humility, Kindness, and Love.
