In this episode: In this episode I’m coming at you solo to talk about the notion of HAPPINESS. It’s something we are all seeking, but it’s a nebulous term, and for many, working out what it actually looks and feels like for us is really hard to pin down. Personally, I spent a lot of years in the dark, with no idea what happiness genuinely looked like for me, and now I have a lot of clients who com...

In this episode: Have you ever dreamt of writing a book and becoming a published author? Many have, but get derailed by a lack of professional writing experience, confusion over where to start, the deflation of rejections, and the belief that it’s simply not possible.
