Have you ever met a stranger in passing – perhaps as random as a chance meeting at a bar – whose magnetic wild heart just drew you in? Maybe you caught yourself observing, in absolute awe, at how free of a spirit he or she was, wondering how they ever got that way and if it […]
There are monsters inside all of us. Some big and scary, others wild and fearless. These monsters are our stories, our pasts, our nightmares, and our fears. They reside deep in our hearts, jumping up when we least expect them, or worse, when we’re at our most vulnerable. These are the unresolved. The doubts. The […]
The things you say in everyday conversation may be more damaging than the inner dialogue you have at 3am after a single shit-storm. Self-limiting beliefs are much closer to us in reach than empowering mantras are, so we have to make a conscious effort to skip over them to reach for thoughts and phrases that will […]
