3 Ways We Make Things Harder for Ourselves

EPISODE 29 

Making the interior journey into authenticity and wholeness is not easy. But could we also be making it even more difficult than it has to be? 

In this episode I talk about three common ways we often unwittingly sabotage ourselves by treating ourselves with contempt, having unrealistic expectations, and not availing ourselves to the support we need.
