- Wouter explains his direct, no-nonsense, spiritual-but-not-airy-fairy coaching approach and why most traditional methods don't create lasting change
- Insights on dropping limiting stories, choosing who you want to be in each moment, fear as an illusion, and taking responsibility for your own life and happiness
