It may seem ironic that I’m writing about death as we are moving into Spring. In fact, the theme running through this newsletter is rebirth.

But the core of my work is awakening people to their own transformational change, and then helping guide them on that journey. So much of what we believe about our strengths and weaknesses is imprinted without us realizing it.
