I remember at some point, I BELIEVED that this life coaching work would work for me.

We decide, commit to going and along the way we...

So many of us think all of our problems will be solved if we stop over-drinking.

Ever heard the idea that 'you have to be ready for change' in order to start something new like stop over-drinking or to lose weight? Well, I'm challenging that idea. That thought is not the truth.

Cognitive dissonance is that conflict we have with ourselves about whether or not to do something.
