the Cart Before the Horse?: How to Prioritize and conquer.
After having breakfast, my son asks about playing video games, a daily summer vacation request. Instead of my usual response, I decide to teach him about priorities and their importance in life. This lesson is born from my own experiences and the realization that prioritizing things correctly can lead to a more fulfilled life.

The Know Thyself Philosophy: Unveiling Your True Potential
At 24, following my first divorce and inspired by the movie "The Matrix," I encountered a simple yet profound concept: "Know Thyself." The inconspicuous, yet challenging, quote resonated deeply, sparking a journey of self-exploration to understand the essence of this philosophy.
Over the following 15 years, I traveled the world, achieved goals, and delved into the depths of my own psyche, seeking to uncover the self I pursued. By 36, I had lived and worked in 40+ places around the world, been married and divorced twice, accomplished every workforce career goal, and crash-landed on the reality of single parenting.
But instead, I chose to harness my pain and lessons to help others. In that moment, I became aware of both my successes and failures, realizing that the self I yearned to find was my mirror reflection, the one that had succeeded at surviving every failure, and could help others do the same.
In this blog post, I share my journey of self-discovery, the power of practical psychology, and actionable exercises for you to embark on your own adventure of self-exploration. Learn how understanding yourself can unlock your true potential and lead to a life filled with purpose, joy, and success.
