Emotional Trauma, Unlearning Negative Thought Patterns and Understanding Relationships | Dean Blankfield | Ep 9

The Authentic Me: Hosted by Mel Yu

Could this conversation be my best work yet on the podcast?
I LOVED this chat with Mr Dean Blankfield! A spiritual life coach and mentor who is on a mission to help transcend other's to a life of purpose and action. Dean currently resides in Bondi Beach but grew up in Perth and lived in Melbourne too. He is clear and articulate with his language and helped me understand so much about the human mind in very simple terms. This podcast is also up live on YouTube for those who want to see us visually having a laugh and giggle most of this hour. Enjoy!
