In today’s episode, I am explaining why the fastest way to make a change is to love your life without it changing.
Topics in this episode:
- 3 practical exercises to help you see your current life as amazing
- Why I cried my eyes out, twice last week
- The difference between gratitude and satisfaction and why satisfaction is more powerful
