Is Fear Holding You Back?

Parachuitist Life Coach

I’ve read a few ridiculous posts on self development in my time, a few of them were even my own. But probably the most asinine was by a guy (and I genuinely forget who it was now) writing about fear.

The Most Stupid Thing You Can Ever Do

I don’t know about you, but I’ve done made some dumbass decisions and done some stupid things in my life.

Only just this last week I bought an iPad without doing any research and not realizing that the antennas have less strength than Monty Burns after a 7 day water fast.

The bemused look on the face of the techie at the Apple store when I whined “But my phone and laptop work just

The Medical History of a Life Coach – The Conclusion?

I had no intention whatsoever of posting a part 3 to The Medical History of a Life Coach so soon after part 2, but I had a real eureka moment yesterday that I wanted to share with you.

I know it seemed strange to some people that even though I felt dreadful during The Paleo Experiment and had to come off it, that I still believed so strongly in the science behind it.

If you didn’t read my last post ‘You’re Depressed! – The Medical History of a Life Coach‘, this is going to make zero sense to you, so go and check it out now and I’ll be waiting for you to return.

It was cool to know that my latest lump wasn’t about to eat half my face away and that it was connected to my hemochromatosis.
