Fascinating! I gave 4stars instead of 5 only because I have saved it and want to take time to come back again, process it and then see if it works for me. You packed a lot into a short, sweet course. I also heard your story about your 2011 transformation focused on chasing feelings not things. Wow. I have been in the Netherlands and on those Paris bridges looking at the Seine and can imagine it clearly. You are truly remarkable. I will look to see if you have a course on how to travel easily. If not, please create one! I also love the sound of your easy, human flow instead of tight perfectionism! THANK YOU Beautiful Soul! ✨💃

Thank you for this excellent course, a lot of things I’m aware of but putting these points together & highlighting the relevance is both renewed learning & an aid memoir, at a time when overwhelmed and bogged down with anxieties & stressors. Thank you again 🧡🙏🏾

It's very distracting when you're constantly mispronouncing words like other, another, and think. Please learn to say the TH sound so that people can listen to your recordings without being annoyed
