Fear is NOT Your Birthright
I’m mad. Really mad. It’s time you got mad too. Why? Because fear has got you by the ovaries. I’ve talked to you. I’ve listened to your dreams, your visions, your goals. I’ve heard what stops you. I’ve heard the excuses, “there’s not enough (money/time/belief) and the “oh it’s not so bad” comment to wave […]

Slimy Conversations: When the icky feeling isn’t yours but something you “caught” from others
