Missing dad
Coping with loss is a key part of wellness. And I don’t think I did a particularly stellar job of managing. (Most of us don’t.) I am writing this today because in a perfect world, my dad would still be around and we’d be celebrating his birthday. Instead, he departed this world just over two…

Change your questions + change your life
Jay Chase is one of my coaches, and he asks himself four questions every day, that drive his decisions and actions. That simplifies life, right?

The energy of food
Everyone knows they get energy from food, but most think only about calories. What if the story was much bigger than that? I just completed coursework with Teri Mosey, a wellness expert and chef who started her nutritional journey with a very-Western focus, but now utilizes mind-body physiology, neurobiology, and quantum physics to understand how…
