Now she can charge $40,000 to help others find love which she did !“I track all of the beautiful love stories that I’ve had the privilege of watching bloom. And one thing they all have in common is this: unbridled and glowing gratitude for each other.It’s the kind of energy that beams “We can’t believe we get to DO this together.”In early dating, look for signs that this person sees life through the lens of gratitude. How do they speak about their loved ones? How do they show up for them? Do they take them for granted?What role do they play in their family? In their friend group?The way they speak about their ex is a clue. Even if they had a tough breakup or divorce, do they speak with integrity about them? Do they own their part?The couples I’ve witnessed cannot believe how lucky they are to have found each other. It’s so heart opening to watch. You deserve that, too.”Amy is a holistic dating coach and author of Dating for the One, which will launch in 2027.Love, Amy is her coaching business that marries the technology of modern dating with a holistic view of human-to-human energy and connection. ❤️Amy lives with her husband Brett (they met on Bumble!) in Los Angeles and New York City.

“I did not tell my sister that our other sister was dying. Silence was the right choice, yet murky and painful”In family estrangement, the mud and dirt gets everywhere, Kathryn Heyman writes. “And it is very hard to undo what has been done”She is the author of 9 novels, and the acclaimed memoir, Fury. She has won numerous awards infact almost too many to mention.Her new book “Circle of Wonders”is a novel about facing death while rediscovering life, and about the messy grace that emerges when people who’ve hurt one another choose to love anyway.Roni is running out of time.As cancer claims her body, she begins a Book of Wonders, capturing the small, luminous moments she once overlooked.

Fleur Marks was a high performer who built a successful career on drive and relentless high standards. Until the pace that fuelled this ambition triggered a life-threatening health crisis and landed her in what she describes as the ‘waiting room of death’. Fleur survived. But she also woke up. Because beneath a polished surface, countless other high achievers are silently exhausted and questioning whether relentless striving is worth the cost. The truth? Many are trapped in the ‘overachiever’s cycle’, an unsustainable pattern where self-worth is tethered to achievement and external validation. For Fleur, what followed was not a retreat from ambition, but a total life reset. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science and a decade of lived experience, she rebuilt how she lived, led and defined success. Now she shares this blueprint in her new book, The Overachiever’s Reset which combines Fleurs deeply personal story with practical tools for those who want impact without implosion.Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850
