Why Pooh’s Philosophy matters
As a transformational coach, I find it deeply symbolic that Winnie the Pooh (who often gets things “wrong”) reminds us that presence, friendship and love are all that really matter.
Use this shower as more than a party. It’s an invitation to slow down, reflect and welcome a new life with intention.
