A Little Thing That Helps

Hello friend! If anyone has DONE THE HEALING, it’s Dan Harris . After he had a panic attack live on air at ABC News (!!), he went on a quest to quell his anxiety.

Author of Eat, Pray, Love , cultural icon, and someone so many of us look up to as the model of what living a fully expressed life looks like.

Here’s why I was jealous: Bess and I went to the same college but went two different paths. I was too scared to become a comedy writer (don’t they pay you in soup cans?) and instead built a career at Comedy Central. Meanwhile, Bess sk...

Oh, hello my friend, For your viewing pleasure, you can either watch, listen, or read today’s edition! Today, I want to tell you about the time I almost completely lost it over a hunk of steel that would not make me an espresso if its life depended on it. This “time” I’m referring to was actually a few days ago, the day after I got back from an incredible, stress-free, JOY-filled trip to Paris wit...
