I was listening to my coach Breanna May’s podcast the other day (shoutout to Bre) and she was talking about what happens when people are stuck.

Can’t for the life of me remember who I was listening to so won’t paste the link here but the interviewee said he + his wife ask this question of each other regularly: “How can I love you today?”
I thought this was such a cool question to ask your partner, so I’ve started doing…
We live in a culture of apologising for who we are; the British especially are excellent at apologising for no reason at all. How often do you apologise for…
