Have you ever had a bully that picked on you in school or in the workplace? I had a few notable ones that I'll be telling you about in this episode 

Bullies can make our lives very uncomfortable can't they? Pushing us around and putting us down with negative messages. Society has a long way to go to be sure, but it does seem to be improving in education and resources regarding bullying generally.

But wha...

Someone told me once that I was a badass woman and I laughed. I mean...I guess I know what they were trying to say to me. Like a hug and a high five for getting up every day to slay the dragons of single parenthood and all that goes with that. A nod to my naturally driven personality. And I appreciated the encouragement. The way life unfolded for me left me few options other than to step up and out and make things happen, no matter...

When you're caught up in the stress  of the hustle and day-to-day living, it's not always as simple as just deciding to slow down. Sometimes it takes a shift in your entire way of thinking. 

It all begins with truly defining your deepest value system, which is not necessarily as straightforward of a question as it seems.

In this episode I will be talking about "analysis paralysis." Those times when you get caught up in a loop, thinking things through from every possible angle to be sure you are making the right decision. Then going over and over it, again and again, until you've overthought it to death and find yourself unable to move forward in any direction.

Have you ever found yourself in a similar cycle as mine? You want to lose weight or improve your fitness and health in some way...so you set a goal and start out great.

When did pleasure become a dirty word? If it feels good - don't do it?

It's true that rampant, irresponsible chasing after sensory indulgence can be dangerous. The out-of-control societal problems with obesity and sexually transmitted diseases are evidence of this. But it's also true that over-restriction can also be detrimental.

And sometimes it really is ok to say YES to things that feel good...t...

My special guest on this episode is Lee Zuniss. Our topic? Psychedelics.

Micro-dosing to be more specific. With all of the celebrities, and now even many mainstream doctors, touting its benefits, I know I was curious to find out what all the fuss was about. So I figured my audience might be as well. Lee unpacks this current, and somewhat controversial, topic with me to explain why macro-dosing isn't necessarily  as sc...

When icing a cake, it's important to use the right amount of frosting. If you try to spread it too thin it's just...well...not as good.

But is that really the essence of who you are at your deepest core? 

In this episode I'll be talking about that. That what you DO is not who you ARE, and why it's important to remember that.
