A practical path to purpose, love, and sexual vitality that upends comfort-first living and replaces it with courageous, conscious action
About This Book
This guide shows you how to stop waiting for life to get easier and start living with purpose now. You’ll learn to lean just beyond your edge, open your heart under pressure, and channel attraction and energy into creativity and service. It reframes conflict with partners as trust tests you can meet with humor, direction, and presence. With clear practices for breath, posture, decision-making, praise, sexual energy, and solitude, you’ll build a life where work, love, and embodiment all reinforce each other. Expect fewer excuses, stronger focus, richer intimacy, and the steady confidence that comes from acting on your deepest truth.About the Author
