With the new year comes pressure to fulfil often unrealistic goals.
We welcome life coach Georgie Durcan’s approach who advocates taking January as a time for reflection instead of drastic change.
“The pressure to reinvent yourself every January creates unnecessary stress and often leads to disappointment,” Durcan says.

With over 20 years of experience, she offers 1:1 intuitive coaching, online programs, and international retreats.
