A client proposed this topic last week, and I love it! I’m sharing my journey to finding teachers I really value, look up to and work to be with in person, as well as some pitfalls on the journey to find them. Before we get into the main topic for the week, I’ve also recorded a bit of a ‘teaching’ (read: rant) about flop flopping, the amount of time and energy choosing to be indecisive actually takes and my challenge to myself (and YOU!) to ‘just decide’ this month. Your VERY last chance to join my Mastermind is NOW. Decide. xo Register, or review the specifics, here: https://www.amymcdonald.c ..read more
