Join me to explore how we can answer our questions, solve our problems and get clarity and guidance from within. We often want to seek guidance and counsel from others when we're unsure of the way forward, but getting a feel for our own inner guide, and learning to trust it, can be transformative. Luckily, we humans are perfectly equipped with the features that guide us to clarity... although very few of us know or trust this. This episode will explore: Where do solutions and answers come from? What's your role in finding clarity (and what is most certainly NOT your role)? How there is no 'r ..read more
