Committing to a process helps you solve problems at every level of growth. 
Today I respond to four different circumstances from listeners on the show.
I apply the 5 shifts, the E.T.A process and Emotional Intimacy to showcase how we can use the same tools for various circumstances again and again. 

What if committing to a process vs over consuming new information was how you guaranteed your results?
When we do the same thing again and again, we get better at it. 
This is the power of coaching with one coach, with one method. 
You know exactly what to do, what's working and how to fix what's not.
Today we explore:

• Why starting over isn't useful
• Supporting Grief
• What you say to your self matters the most
• Your challenges are your portals to transformation

As always, I am so grateful for your reviews on apple podcast.
Together we can change the world!

As part of our series on creating gardens that don't create unnecessary work for you -
What factors in your garden borders create more work than others.
Pre-warned is pre-armed - if you anticipate any future problems, you can stop them happening in the first place.

Gardening should be a pleasure, if your garden is full of 'stuff' that causes extra work, you won't have a garden you can ever enjoy being in.
