SOMEBODY

should have known better.
Now you don't trust they care.

IT'S AN SKBC.

A SHOULD-KNOW-BETTER CONFLICT.

BURP

LET THEM KNOW, WHAT YOU NEED

TO BE MISERY FREE, AND FREE TO CARE.

They should have known better.
Now you don’t trust they care. 
You are too miserable to let them know.
You might lose your shit if you do.
You might be wrong.

Instead you tell everyone else.
You tell yourself you don’t care.
You act just as uncaring.
Making you even more miserable.


 Don't let misery of an SKBC turn you into someone
you are not born to be.

How I came to BURP

FullSizeRender_edited_edited.jpg
  • Over 30 years ago, I started with a one-hour conversation with more than 4,000 people who felt they couldn’t trust themselves to choose paint colors and SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

  • It worked 99% of the time.

  • I let them know what they needed to be misery-free, and free to care. 

  • The same ones we all have.

  • They went from miserable self-doubt to confidently meeting their needs.

  • Then, I began to wonder if the same conversation would work without the bucket of paint.

  • It did.
