Everyone deserves our compassion, right? — I’ve been struggling with something massive of late. It has felt incredibly testing, and yet to some it may seem trivial. I have struggled with balancing my understanding of, and empathy for, those who chose to storm The Capitol, with my condemnation of their violent, murderous behaviour. Every person who…

We are never going to share the same opinions with everyone we meet, but how do we find the common ground between us? — It’s time to be more accepting of those who don’t share our opinions. I’m as guilty as anyone else of wanting everyone to think and feel the same way that I do. But they don’t. And they never will. Our job on this planet is almost certainly not to change…

Where’s the line between hate speech and freedom of opinion? — Freedom of speech has become a bone of contention.

It’s time to stop blaming ourselves for other people’s perspectives. — Have you ever given someone advice, only to have it thrown back in your face? I have. And it hurts, right?! I’ve been thinking about the reasons why some people reject our advice, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you. …

I’m on a self-trust journey, and the benefits are too great for you NOT to join me! — In my last blog, I discussed the importance of self-trust.
