This course is mind-blowing and Kim is brilliant! I had no idea that so many of my patterns, limiting beliefs and failures had so much to do with my own unresolved trauma which I in fact thought was resolved. I have learnt so much about myself and in turn have become a far better coach by identifying and working with underlying trauma. So good!!
