It speaks to the most essential kind of freedom one can have, Internal FREEDOM.
And that kind of freedom is…everything. It's also the marker of true leadership.
By the greatest leaders with the boldest hearts, we are reminded of this again and again…
Read More…With yet more devastating news filling our screens and our hearts, it can be very easy to lose connection with joy.
I understand this and I know the feeling of hopelessness that can burrow into our bones, leaving us feeling frail and hallowed out.
Yet, what I also know, is that like so many others, I have survived what is brutal, because I would not let go of seeing what is also beautiful in this world….
…When the energy is seeping in too many directions (or the wrong direction) or is blocked in some way, we feel tired and burnt out (our internal 'light bulb' burns out when we no longer have sufficient energy flow). And friends, it's a very human experience for this to happen.

Read MoreLast night, me and my partner did our end-of-the-quarter ritual. It's quite simple and only takes about 45-minutes. We make tea, find a cozy spot in the house, and open our laptops.
