On Following Your Passion and Awakening To Your Authentic Path
“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.” May Sarton
When you take the courage to take that first step towards living a life that is more authentically your own, you may never look back. In todays show Aleesha and I chat and about what it means to connect more deeply with your passions and how in doing so you start to connect again with your true self. In doing so you awaken yourself to a much more beautiful and meaningful life.
This journey is not always easy but we can all take it. We can all cut our own trail forward and leave behind our own path. Aleesha shares her recent discoveries on how she made this possible and while she has greater dreams and desires still to be fulfilled, she certainly agrees that life is already much richer simply by stepping out from the life that she thought she had to live.
Take our hands and let us inspire and encourage you to step up to the plate and start hitting the home runs in life that you deserve to be hitting. Enjoy!
Peace, passion and purpose.

“I don’t know enough to worry, so don’t worry.” Jeffrey Slayter
In this episode I discuss why the differences between beliefs and behaviours and why beliefs don’t always need to come before behaviours, which is commonly thought the case.
Action helps change. Action takes you towards those goals you desire to achieve. You must take action. It is actually through action also that you will build powerful, more deeply imbedded beliefs, that will propel you forward in your success.
We all have pre-existing beliefs and certainly need to build our beliefs to a certain level to help us to take the first step and to take action, but it is actually in action our beliefs form much more strongly.

Your Guide To When Saying Yes & No Is Appropriate
In this episode I share my thoughts on when it is appropriate to say yes and when to say no. This are two very powerful words and both have the ability to transform our lives.
One is not necessarily more favourable than the other, both have there time and there place however there is much literature and talk out there that says you need to master the art of saying yes or saying no. I believe you must master the art of saying both and this is simply by becoming more aware of when its suitable to use either one.
Enjoy my thoughts and make sure you check out my blog post here for more details. Until next time, peace, passion and purpose.

Escape from Dark Places: Guideposts to Hope in an Age of Anxiety & Depression by Ambra Watkins
We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. Chuck Palahniuk
This is a remarkable and fascinating read. It is fresh perspective on how we can help others heal and overcome anxiety and depression – Escape From Dark Places. Ambra shares her personal experience as she had to learn how to help heal her son who visited a very dark place. Not surprisingly – he is not alone.
It is said that one in four young adults suffer from a mental illness that is diagnosable. The other stats she discovers are also alarming. She realises that even with all the variety of therapies that exist, there still seems a lacking improvement among all people as it relates to anxiety and depression. Why? That is the journey she takes us on within the pages of this book.
The best partnerships aren’t dependent on a mere common goal but on a shared path of equality, desire, and no small amount of passion. Sarah MacLean
We need to move away from the idea that within dependancy there is weakness and only in being independent are we stronger or greater. The world is a wonderful place and I realise that my dependancy on those that I love, those that I look up to and those that I wish to seek advice from make it an even more wonderful place.
If I tried to walk this path alone I don’t believe I would make it as far as I desire to go. Its ok to rely on others. Our ability to succeed, to excel, to exist with great peace and happiness are amplified in the hands of others.
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Aristotle
Enjoy this thought. Peace, passion and purpose.
