Let Things Be Different
In many important areas of our lives and businesses we often want things to be different (i.e. better) than they are. However, one of the things that gets in our way of creating the kind of changes that we truly want, is our willingness to believe that they can be different in the first place. On this episode, I talk about the paradoxical nature of change and some specific ways we can allow things to be different in a healthy and authentic way.

We live in a world obsessed with blame; constantly focused on who’s at fault for the various challenges we face, individually and collectively.
