The Tyranny of Perfectionism
The tyranny of perfectionism is that I want it, and I hate it. I always hated getting in trouble. Whatever I could do to ensure that I stayed away from parental scorn, I would do it. Initially, I don’t know how or why that developed, but as I began to grow up, I could see […]
The Real Reason I Freaked Out

Please Don’t Quit This Year
Last year I wrote about about a client named Cocktail Cara. She started off the year feeling lethargic and unhealthy. She contacted me in January 2016 to inquire about training and to see if I could help her go down a completely different path than she had been on. She was the gal who people […]
