My husband, Mark, makes a rare "appearance" on today's episode! The formula for success is tattooed on his forearm in Kanji characters, and I had him explain the meaning behind why he believes you need these 3 keys to make progress in anything you decide to take on.

He's a behind-the-scenes kinda person so when he does agree to be a part of content or do something like this, it's a big deal ;)

Ever catch yourself thinking, "What's the point of therapy? I can't change what already happened"? Or maybe you've minimized your struggles with "My problems aren't that bad - therapy is for people with REAL issues."

I am forever answering questions and dispelling myths when it comes to therapy. 2 of the myths I hear a lot are

1 - "Why go to therapy when I can't change the past?"

2 - "My problems are no big deal, therapy is only for BIG things."

I'm here to crush BOTH of those myths for you and put them to bed!
