About me
Con Spirito. With Spirit. That is how most of us want to live our lives, with energy and purpose, spending our time doing those things that bring us joy and meaning, pursuing our dreams, aspiring to be the best versions of ourselves that we can be.
Often, difficult thoughts and feelings get in the way of doing this, with being the person we want to be for ourselves, for our loved ones, and sabotaging our vision of the life we’ve always dreamt of living.
We get stuck. And in that inertia, we can engage in a never-ending tirade of self-doubt, self-criticism even self-loathing. We may feel intense fear, shame, anger, and sadness.
Have you lost yourself in an unchangeable past or a frightening, unpredictable future? Are you struggling to find your way out and finding that this struggle, though well-intentioned and seemingly the sensible thing to do, only leads to more pain, more suffering.
Are you ready to break free from all of this? Are you ready to make a change? Is it time to get back into your life?
Are you ready to live your life Con Spirito? Then let's talk.
