Hey there Better Lifers!
It seems like recently,
every birthday of mine comes with a drama…

How can coaching help? How do I help?
I've been asked this question a lot.

There are different types of coaching (for example, executive, life, and business coaching) each...

Hey there Better Lifers!
We all want a happier, better life.
Yet we often find that Buddha had a point (to say the least) when he said that life is full of suffering .
