This episode is hands down my favorite one I have done... William and I have known each other for almost 30 years. And this past year, he was diagnosed with COVID19 and placed in a medically induced coma for over a month. This is his story of bravery, courage, and a hell of a lot of FIGHT! This is NOT meant to be controversial… so don’t come at me about masks, no masks, vaccines, or no vaccines. P...

I recently got a list of 12 ways to put yourself first from my therapist, but I am not sure who the author is, or else I would totally credit him/her.

Stop saying "yes" to everyone and everything  4. Embrace your body  5. You can’t su...

Today’s episode is a recording from a team call that I spoke on back in January and even though it was geared towards business, I thought that YOU could relate to it as well. The sound quality may not be as good as it usually is, because I wasn’t recording with my microphone, but I hope that you still take the time to listen…   It’s all about setting a goal for something and even though it may be...

I am super stoked that you are here because today we are going to chat about something that I never put too much importance on until very recently… SLEEP!   Do you find yourself needing a nap in the afternoon?

Today, let’s chat all about periods and hormones and being your own advocate for your health and wellness.    First of all, I want to preface this by saying I am NOT a doctor nor an expert, so if you relate to ANYTHING that is talked about today, make sure you schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms with your doctor or medical professional.    This episode is simply a way to share my PERS...

Today's episode is quick because I know you are busy and I want to honor your time... but hopefully it will give you a kick in the pants to STOP wishing, STOP comparing and START doing that thing that is on your heart because it is NOT a mistake.
