I grew up participating in three cultures, American, Venezuelan, and Swedish, speaking three languages and feeling like an outsider in all of them.
I spent a lot of time observing people so I could do the right thing and try to fit in by doing what was expected of me. Eventually, trying to be the person others wanted me to be got too exhausting. I had to figure out who I really am.
I've worked for the last 30 years as a massage therapist, Chinese Medicine practitioner, poet, and finally, as a relationship whisperer for badass creatives.
I'm here to say there's nothing wrong with being a clear, powerful, and successful badass in parts of your life and not having it together in others. You deserve exquisite support to integrate your struggles with your skills and innate wisdom.

Interview with Rajshree Patel
https://www.rajshreepatel.com/
Book: https://amzn.to/2LtADpb
An over looked key to thriving at work, life or more is knowing how to manage our mind and its relationship to our personal energy crisis. Burn out is directly tied to levels of life energy and mind-set from which we operate.
The higher our Vital energy, the greater our resilience, agility, creativity and power.
Many tools are offered today around Resilience, stress reduction, etc. such as, mindfulness, EQ, therapy, meditation apps. etc. but very few people are actually able to do it.
Why? for the simple reason the tools require the result -of some degree of calm to begin with- It's more mental work. Only advanced practice and a lot of time gives the result the person is seeking.
We need a simple exercises that directly impacts the mind. As easy and as simple as lifting a dumb bell. Something you can do, use any where any time. Vital Force is the key to less stress, more success. .. with less effort.
