“Some (gender identifying) terms, to me, are not feminine or masculine. They just denote an energetic helpfulness to another human on the planet.” So, what's gender identity?

“To understand water is to understand the cosmos, the marvels of nature, and life itself -Masaru Imoto” Having discipline is very crucial in freediving, so one must learn breath control, technique, and mental focus.

info_outline“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to get support”
Stay curious, stay courageous, and embrace the beautiful adventure of self-discovery. With people you trust and love. And it's not just about being vulnerable with the world, but choosing who gets to see your true self. It's like building a fortress with gates that you control. So you can let the right people in, the ones who appreciate and nurture your vulnerability. And it's not about weakness. It's about strength, the strength to be authentic, to be real, to be imperfect, and to show up exactly as you are.
Don't wait until life becomes unbearable or until you're drowning in your own uncertainties. Coaching isn't just for fixing what's broken; it's for enhancing what's already there. It's a tool for self-discovery, growth, and fulfilment. It's an investment in yourself and your future. And the beauty of it is, you don't have to do it alone. You have someone there, a coach, to guide you, support you, and challenge you in all the right ways.
