The Art of Living Authentically or TAOLA is an 8 week course. Designed to light up your life and bring you home to yourself, this course will show you ways to be true to who you are, do work that works for you and to love living your life.
Each week you will receive… dah dah dah… your weekly ‘I’m possible’ mission.
These ‘I’m possible’ missions will vary and be made up of creative, reflective, written, thinking and practical adventures designed to get you glowing and connecting to your authentic self.
Each weekly ‘I’m possible’ mission will also include a demonstration video outlining the week’s adventures and ways to get glowing…
Let's take this part of your journey together, I'll guide you, cajole you, 'dance' with you, amuse you, maybe even sing to you ;) and check in with you each week to ensure you are on board and I'll hold you accountable too. Of course you have to do the work... but I'll facilitate your journey and encourage your success.
This course is all about you... plugging in to your authentic self and reconnecting to your creativity and confidence. Your life is about YOU. It's about who YOU are and what YOU do. YOU are important. Learning how to live your best life as your best self begins with YOU. Everything you say and everything you do every day in every way matters. Happiness lies within each of us and it all starts with YOU!
Living this way is amazing - but don't take it from me - try it for YOURSELF. Why not make this course YOUR course?
