And I’m really glad you are here!As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’.Success is first and foremost an Inside Job.I have seen it in my own life.I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs.Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so.We are giving so much to the world around us.But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat.And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation.And I make doing meditation dead easy.My MOVE collections are guided meditations.You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation. All you need to do is throw those earbuds in and drift off to sleep!Downloaded over 500,000 times on places like iTunes and Audible, my MOVE meditations don’t just ‘relax’ and distress, they are specifically designed to help you get MOVING and unstuck.So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted!“This is truly amazing I feel so relaxed, confident and in charge of my own life.

    All of us come from childhood. All of us came from this magical land and started our adult path from there. And in this land, our nearest and dearest people were giving help to us; these are our parents. Thanks to them, we were learning about the world, learning to understand it and live in it. For better or worse, they are the persons who also gave us first lessons of pain, disappointment, and sometimes - suffering. Childhood grievances against the dearest people often transferred to all other people; they bring the deepest drama, and that’s why the parents are the exact people whom you can hardly forgive sometimes.

    Recommended by Dyslexia Assessor Craig Keane, Director of Develop Us in Wales. "I'm a specialist dyslexia assessor and teacher. I was looking for a book to recommend to parents of children I assess and teach. I wasn't expecting to learn much from the book because I'm a specialist in this field. I was wrong! Beth presents interesting statistics about dyslexia and how it can impact people in society. She explores different ways you can explain dyslexia to anyone of any age using the octopus theory! I highly recommend this book to parents, teachers, specialists and anyone who would like to educate themselves about dyslexia!"  
    "While reading this book, I have several "Ah ha!" moments that explain my child's behaviour. The book made me feel I had confided all my concerns to her, and she gave me answers. I read articles, research papers and other books, but none have really explained to me so well the many "whys?" and what I need to know about my child." Amazon review.

    Do Less, Live More, Get Accepted What if getting into your reach schools didn't require four years of excessive AP classes, overwhelming activity schedules, and constant stress? In How to Be a High School Superstar, Cal Newport explores the world of relaxed superstars—students who scored spots at the nation's top colleges by leading uncluttered, low stress, and authentic lives. Drawing from extensive interviews and cutting-edge science, Newport explains the surprising truths behind these superstars' mixture of happiness and admissions success, including: ● Why doing less is the foundation for becoming more impressive.● Why demonstrating passion is meaningless, but being interesting is crucial.● Why accomplishments that are hard to explain are better than accomplishments that are hard to do. These insights are accompanied by step-by-step instructions to help any student adopt the relaxed superstar lifestyle—proving that getting into college doesn't have to be a chore to survive, but instead can be the reward for living a genuinely interesting life.
