Is your desire to control the outcome of your life wreaking havoc on your ability to find joy and stillness? Are you missing out on life's most precious moments due to anxiety or fixation on the future?If so, chances are your desire for CONTROL is crippling your ability to be PRESENT.
We've been there, and we're here to help.
Welcome to our new 6-part mini-series, "Let it Go: A Guide to Living Present in 2024."

We introduce 3 key questions to help you identify if Control plays a detrimental role in YOUR life, and then offer 4 practical tips to start breaking free from the cycle NOW.
Stay with us throughout the series and let us guide you toward a future of accepting uncertainty, embracing imperfection, and hopefully, finally finding presence.
