Everything you ever wanted is available to you, if…
… if you are willing to look at see what is so about you and your life.
The truth. Naked. Ugly. Often shameful.
Here is a correspondence I had with a client today:
She said: “I’m interested in changing my context since it’s part of what keeps me stuck.”
“… answering the questions: what am I doing? Why am I doing it?

Most people will never escape the pull.
Much of the thinking around us is small-minded. Most people are overly conce

I have been having a difficult time writing enough about any one topic to finish one article… Meaning I have six articles started, and can’t or won’t finish them. What’s going on? I am afraid. That’s new FEARLESS Sophie, tell me more? Some of the things that are being shown to me recently are polarizing. […]
