Hey legend, As this year comes to a close, I want to offer you something different. 💫 Not a pep talk, not a push, not a “new year, new you” speech. Just a pause. Time to reflect. 🧐 There’s a lot of noise at this time of year telling you to reflect harder, decide faster and to know exactly what you want next. But here’s what I see, again and again, in my work with hundreds of clients…
As I write this, I’m mid-air flying to London for an emergency trip back to the UK. ✈️ Cam was there with me when I got some concerning news and he was so amazing, nothing but supportive. 🥰 It wasn’t even a thought that I had to ask for “permission” to book a flight home even though it means all our Christmas plans go out the window.
