Today I was inspired to talk about a situation that happened in my practice. I asked an individual not to do something and then shortly there after my advice to get through something specific was to do that very thing. When I asked this I was called a hypocrite and today I just want to talk about what I meant and my reasoning for my request. Thank you for listening to this ramble because it truly...

In this episode I explore what it feels like to hang on to something that has perceived value but it’s killing you on the inside. Why do we hang onto these things? Is it because we are afraid that if we let them go there is nothing we have left to offer? Do we hang on because we don’t trust our own abilities to succeed? Is it possible that hanging on is limiting our opportunity? Sometimes our grea...

We also talk about changing the word but with and. Take a listen and let me know what you t...

It’s impossible for me to fit nutrition into a 20 minute episode so this may sound a lot like an all over the place scramble on ideas but it really is meant to just get you thinking about where to start. Nutrition is confusing. There are so many ways to dig into it. It’s so different and unique for every individual. So really if you just start with 1) eliminating processed foods 2) eating locally...
