I Got Stuck ... with Steve Schwab
I GOT STUCK is my story but it could also likely be yours. As burnout started to rear its ugly head my relationships and projects started to wobble. I was forced to accept that I was lacking a clear vision for my future: I was without a firm foundation to create from. How does one become visionary? What does it feel like to grow in new ways? How do we adapt and unstuck ourselves as we enter an era of unprecedented change?
I’m particularly grateful to my business partner Steve Schwab, for his courage and patience and willingness to build our retreats company together in creative and curious new ways.
