Doing it Anyway!

JC Doornick aka Dragon and Mieke Doornick aka Chicken, stand out from the Herd and are sharing truly a limitless fountain of their wisdom from their life study and experience. I’ve developed being Open and Curious, out of necessity. My way was not working. This pod cast, and the ‘Makes Sense Academy’ was born out of the Dragon and Chicken being authentically themselves and a desire to help anyone wanting more. Grateful as I found a NEW and thoughtful community of support, in this pretty messy world. They ‘Makes Sense’…of many things we all think of.

Yes, it does!

A great message (episode 3) to stop thinking and get into action! Just what I needed this morning to get out of the "drift"!
Thank you! Totally Makes Sense!!!!

ddgcdsp ,

Finally!

Love the approach Dr JC Doornick is taking with this podcast. I can never be as eloquent as he is, but he has a refreshing approach that makes you WANT to take action!! Add it to your list!!
