However, it can be more broadly defined as beginning something new in our lives, trying things we've never done before. Today's book is written for those of us who want to do something but don't know where to start.

  • EP5 -Parenting anxiety?! Book review on: "The Courage to Not Parent."

    We parents these days are dealing with what I like to call "parenting anxiety." Even before our little munchkins pop out, we're like, "Montessori or Waldorf? Diapers or potty training?" And once they're born, it's like, "Quick, let's make a baby genius!" As they grow, the worries never stop – piano, soccer, tennis, swimming, math, drawing, Spanish – you name it! Where is the advice for anxious parents to follow?

  • EP3 -Writing Everything Effortlessly with the '9-Grid' Method

    Have you ever experienced this? You know you have an article to write, it takes you forever to start doing it. But as soon as you switch on your computer, your mind just turns into mush. It's not that you are lacking ideas, but your thoughts seem to be everywhere! You just don’t know how possibly you can put them into words! It’s like your brain is racing but you can’t express them logically. So you write and delete, delete and rewrite. Hours after hours you can’t make them into a coherent piece. This annoying thing is writer’s block. For this episode, I will be sharing with you a very useful book. It helps its readers to instantly apply its contents to actual writing, resulting in an instant improvement in the quality of their articles.
