#150: Glin & Tonic - The cost of not being honest with yourself

How have I managed to have another week that has been an absolute schmozzle? I was in Sydney this week for a business conference as part of the mastermind group I’m in. The last conference was in November, and I remember how disconnected I felt. That week, I was purging, unable to keep myself f...
