In this week's episode I chat with Speaker, Life Coach and now Author, Erika Beeson. We discuss all things spirituality and look and how we can develop or inner wisdom to follow our own path in life. For many people, we are following a recipe for life created by someone else. This leads us to becoming unfulfilled because it isn't our own unique recipe. Erika gives us tips on how to figure this out and shares some techniques she uses with her own clients.

In this episode I explore feeling offended. I explain why it could be down to you to be part of the solution when it comes to feeling offended and how you can stop feeling offended in the future. When you take a more inward looking approach you can understand what has caused you to feel offended and by working on these fears and insecurities, and take power back into ourselves. This approach can also help us grow on a more spiritual level.

In this episode I look at being Selfish and why I don't think it is as negative a trait as some people may think. I make the case that in order to carry out self-care we need a good degree of selfishness and being selfish can help us improve our mental health, our relationship with others and help us focus on our own goals and aspirations in life.
