After several months of working non-stop to promote my new book - "Reclaiming My Authentic Self: A Journey From Fear to Freedom" - the fire inside of me was starting to dim.

And it reminded of a valuable lesson I already knew but have sometimes ignored...disconnecting f...

My Dad - the man I'm named after - would have turned 81 on Nov. 23. The first anniversary of his death is on Nov. 30. It's safe to say this will be an emotional week for me and my family.

We know that Fitness Is Our Business... But we don't all handle our business at the same time of day. Some of us tackle our health and fitness routine after a long day's work - and that means tackling similar challenges and obstacles that early risers face. Building a proper mindset, setting realistic goals and maintaining consistency, among other factors, are keys to success. And of course, so is...

I posed the question, "Are You Ready to Change," in the first episode of the show on Oct. 10, 2021. It was meant for my audience, but it applied to me too - and still applies to me all this time later.

In honor of this special milestone, I...

Episode #99 is also a first for this nearly 3-year-old show - as in my first repeat guest - and it was only fitting that it was Tomas Keenan.

It's been...

In today’s “Live to Work, Not Work to Live” society, it’s easy to feel selfish about taking the time to take care of ourselves.
