When you take on the challenge of stopping over-drinking it’s about getting started and making progress month after month. It is so not about doing it perfectly. When I first started my journey to lose weight and stop over-drinking I learned about the concept of B- work. Have you heard of this before? Its the idea that if you can just shoot to achieve a B- you will have achieved massive success. T...

What if we woke up today and THIS was our life.

I am discussing how surrendering doesn't mean giving your power away. My idea of surrendering always...
