This is a wonderfully enlightening course, there are so many useful tips that I can apply to everyday life not just the holiday season, & I also really valued the emphasis on this just being a perspective shift rather than huge changes or different ways to try to adopt in amongst all the busyness, and this is also very empowering. A fantastic course, highly recommended, thank you!
