As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.
Erckhart Tolle
It’s funny how life seems to go really smoothly for some people, but not others. To those people, school or work, relationships and friendships seem to make sense and good things seem to come easily. Some people just seem to know what they want to do next, but for others this feels really tough and it’s easy to start feeling left behind.
I CAN HELP YOU REALISE THAT YOU ARE ALREADY OKAY. EVEN IF YOU DON’T FEEL IT, YOU ARE.
Everyone is doing the best they can given the thinking they have that looks real to them
Syd Banks

Getting Out of Your Own Way with Marie Arymar - A podcast with Jamie Smart
I recently had a conversation with Clarity Coach & author Marie Arymar. One of the big breakthroughs for Marie was what she described as "getting out of her own way”.
​
Marie specialises in working with young people and their parents, and she gets almost all her clients by referral. In fact, she's been considering leaving social media entirely because it isn't necessary for growing her business. We chat about her journey as a coach so far.
