"Get rid of anxiety in 30 days or your money back" Honestly, what bs - I want to slap these people! If you come across a promise like this….avoid. Real inner work is a process that takes time… Don't buy into the cheap marketing bs. If you want to dive into this type of

When I was a kid I asked lot's of questions… Like a shit ton. My most common question was… "But why?" And the response I disliked the most was… "Just because" It made me want to know even more… And on reflection there's a lot of wisdom in the curiosity of four year old

You're not a singular individual but a dynamic, fluid, ever evolving complex organism. So don't try and put yourself in a box, respect the marvellous complexity of which you are.
