Hien Claire joins the podcast with a unique story which I haven’t yet heard - what is it like being abandoned as a child? Hien was left under a bridge as a baby in 1993 and subsequently taken to an orphanage where she grew up until the age of eight, moving to France with her adopted family. Throughout this conversation Hien shares her lessons from this ordeal, why her faith in God has allowed her to bypass these difficult moments and why keeping connected and aligned with your inner child is absolutely vital.

I share two recent travel examples I’ve had with this that sounded crazy initially, but ultimately we’re perfectly feasible and immensely rewarding. They involve the Maldives and ….. Manchester. Tomorrow’s episode dissects the latter. Hope you enjoy!

“Try your best.” It’s simple but it’s profound and practical, like all great suggestions and ideas. Sometimes my best isn’t much, sometimes it’s enormous. Whatever the case, “my best” is all I can give. I dissect a few of my findings on this topic in this short daily clip.

Need. I need this. I need that. I need I need I need. Do you really need it? What do I need? Find out in today’s sequel to ‘I am richer than I think’

Here it is…..”I’m richer than I think.” And we all are. It was a mind fuck to acknowledge but I dissect throughout this episode. I hope you enjoy!
