This week we're exploring why your facts are probably fiction and how knowing the difference can make or break your ability to achieve your goals. I cover:

• What are thoughts and how they're made
• How to tell the difference between a fact and a thought (yes they're different)
• What to do when we don't like our results
• How to generate the results we want using the power of our mind

I've got us a brand new site where we can all convene - https://www.lumes.me.

Season 2! We're back, you're here, and I'm chuffed to bits! Let's get into it. In this week's episode, I'm getting older and hopefully wiser so here are 3 things that are on my mind as I advance through my elder millennial years. I talk about:

• Self awareness - what does it even mean?
• How "should" sabotages our ability to hit our full potential
• Why confirmation bias is not always a bad thing...
