When I woke up to the fact that a lot of the 'truths' of who I am, what's possible (and what isn't!) are mere stories that I've created throughout a lifetime of making interpretations - I discovered my power. So many of these stories have kept me stuck. Not only that - I've built a life around stories (or beliefs) that have become really bad habits! It was time to recognise this and do something about it. Because I don't want to feel limited. I bet you don't either. Enjoy Episode 1 in the four-p...

Not the only woman who feels that while she has support, the bottom will fall out of her life if she stops for a bre...

Lisa has been getting a strange feeling as she's been delivering these episodes. It seems bizarre because it's counter-intuitive. We almost seem to have resistance to reducing overwhelm. Who are we without our overwhelm? If we IDENTIFY as being overwhelmed - we will find any way we can to prove that's exactly what we are so we keep getting overwhelmed! But what a disservice we are doing ourselves by thinking this is a given. And why is it that people get their backs up when she says it can be di...

Because things in our life ONLY CHANGE when we change. I'm looking forward to sharing more practical aspects of reducing overwhelm in the next episode of this series - Why your brain hates clutter - and ...
