This is the heart of it all.
Behind the systems, strategies, and surface-level habits, there is usually one area quietly calling for change. It might be a relationship that needs more presence, a mindset that needs to soften, or a habit that has long outstayed its welcome.
The offer to you is to name it, to hold it up to the light. Once you do, it becomes possible to work with it rather than around it.
By being honest with yourself, you open the door to transformation.
Honest answers become launch pads.
