  • Suffering in Paradise, no more.

    I had everything, on paper, but it was all wrong. I called it suffering in paradise.

    This podcast, and subsequent membership to the feminist self help society, gave me objective tools to use in a time of my life I felt stuck. The podcasts intro tells you exactly what Kara and her amazing coaching staff help with.

    Suffering is still part of being human but now I am curating my own paradise, and it’s *cking magical.
