Let’s be honest, none of us really like the concept of change, even when the change in question is good for us. Whether it’s a new job or career, new relationship, new house, new routine – whatever, it can be a real adjustment. Look at the number of people that ‘settle’ because they feel ‘comfortable’ even when...

This year has been tumultuous for some and it is only March. In my inner and outer circles there has been relationship breakdowns or challenges, career changes or obstacles and a lot of uncertainty about the future.
