-
EP 3834 Giving people advice is hard

EP 3830 Are you your own worst bully?

-
EP 3826 Replace expectation with gratitude

EP 3820 Being strong doesn’t mean showing no emotion

-
EP 3817 If you’re not detached it probably won’t happen

EP 3816 Life really is short
Life really is short. The problem is that most of us live as though we have an unlimited supply of tomorrow. We put off the conversation we need to have. We stay in jobs, relationships and situations that slowly drain us. We worry about what other people think. We tell ourselves we will start...
