Summary
My No.1 bestselling book, FULL: THE EMPTINESS OF OVEREATING, is available here. Transformation needs three things - knowledge, desire and safety. Most people fall at the third. They experience feelings of confusion or being lost and feel that this is an obstacle, when it's part of the journey. They're often met with judgment, disordered advice, or an attempt to fix them. This only reinforces that they're broken. Real breakthroughs often feel worse before they feel freeing. Let's explore why transformations fail, what to know and how to integrate them permanently.
