Why Written Guidance Is So Effective
Written clarity allows you to read slowly, absorb deeply, revisit when needed, and process at your own pace. Many people find written insight more powerful than a session because it is structured, direct, and does not rely on memory or recall.

- No small talk
- No pressure
- No forgetting what was said
- You get a clear, lasting roadmap
