Two events inspire this week’s blog. The passing of my father and my current obsession with the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Strangely enough, my father passed away on the same day as Freddie Mercury’s death date (24 November). My father was an eccentric and charismatic man so it does not come as such a surprise....
Anxiety can be debilitating. I know because I’ve suffered from anxiety for most of my life. That nagging restlessness, the tightness in my chest, the overactive mind, the social awkwardness… all preventing me from being my best self. Eventually, I reached a point in my life where I no longer wanted to be controlled...
New Client: “This is just who I am. I have always been this way and I always seem to default back to the same old ways. I am me, I am who I am and there is nothing I can do about it.” I have heard these words from almost every client I have...

Twelve years ago I was fast asleep as one usually is at 2 am. Suddenly, I woke up to an internal dialogue. At first, I thought it was my own thoughts, but as I tuned in, it felt as if I was receiving universal guidance. I quickly reached over to my bedside table...
In one of my previous posts entitled, The Deep Yearning within Every Soul, I discussed how many of us are searching for freedom- freedom to be our truth, freedom to go after what we want and freedom to live life on our own terms. In order to achieve such freedom, we must know how...
