It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch your own business. Maybe you want to escape the rat race and find peace in simple living. Maybe you want to improve your health. Whatever your dream is, it is valid!

Twenty Brutal Truths
Tough love is one of life’s paradoxes. It’s often hard to hear but even harder to ignore when you realise it’s what you need to grow.
Sometimes, the truth hurts, but it can cut through the fog of self-deception and push us toward change.

Each is followed by a practical explanation and, where possible, an example.
The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Most of us like to think we are unique or special in some way. And yet, we often avoid telling others our raw, unfiltered life stories.
Stories that would reveal our complex, multi-faceted, imperfect selves if we did.
Stories that would leave us with a permanent vulnerability hangover, especially if they are stories that demand that we reveal our hidden emotions.
Instead, we seek to explain our lives in ways that we and others can understand and appreciate within a framework of acceptable societal norms.
Ways that limit our exposure to possibly being misunderstood, embarrassed or judged. Ways that demand we take a risk and perhaps fail.
