It’s time to crawl out of the traps and into an open mind space where we can discover who we are and what our core purpose really is.  In Chapter Two “The Trap” of my bookTime Collapsing!, we’ll discuss some of the most common traps you can find yourself in and why they aren’t beneficial to your growth.

We dig deeper into:

• Why most people aren’t experiencing the life they want
• The different types of traps that are holding you back
• How emotional intelligence plays into your success
