That said, I also rely heavily on my own intuition to help guide our work togethe...

There are also times when clients have identified that familial traditions have held them captive or even hindered their growth. Processing those things will help you to identify the best path for you as you move forward to your big picture. I would love to assist you on that journey of bec...
