Intention. Simplify. These three words have been coming up over and over again in client sessions—and they're often the missing link between constant overwhelm and finally feeling in flow.You'll hear why where you place your attention matters more than how much effort you're giving… why intention is the compass that cuts through chaos… and how simplifying isn't about doing less—it's about doing what actually aligns.
