"This was hands down one of the best courses I've ever done in the past 8 years that I've had a premium membership with Insight Timer. Thank you so much for your clear compassionate leadership on this little journey. So greatly appreciated. I wish you all the best as you advance further along down the path with this community and any other roads you choose to follow. Namaste 🪷"

"I am so grateful to have found this course. I appreciate the realistic perspective it offers on the internal conflict between idealism and realism. As a proud mother of four wonderful adult children, one of whom has profound autism, I've worked as a life coach supporting families navigating the challenges of managing expectations. Many families struggle between their hopes for their children and the advice of professionals, often overlooking the child's individuality. This conflict creates turmoil within families, and I've experienced this firsthand as a mother and advocate. My daughter's siblings share these feelings, but we're finding peace by focusing on what we can realistically achieve. While our ideal hopes remain, we're prioritizing mutual authentic support throughout this journey."

"Thank you, Thomas! I've avoided the practice of affirmations for many of the ways they can be problematic that you discussed. I walk the line between being practical/pragmatic, and being a dreamer and thinking big. I'd like to develop affirmations that add more supportive dialogue to my life, because those words were a scarce resource when I was young."
