3 Tips I Learned from Prison to Increase Your Personal Freedom

Do you want more freedom in your life?

The freedom from doubts and fears, from the beliefs and stories that block you from creating the life you love?

I’m fortunate. My prison experience provided me with a perspective on freedom not many know. When you lose your freedom, you truly understand what freedom means and how it shows up in your life — and to increase it.
