Do you consider yourself to be a spiritual person? As someone raised in an uber-religious school and church, it took me years to tease through those experiences (which, to be totally honest, weren't full of sunshine and unicorns) and after leaving the church learn what a spiritual practice looks and feels like for me outside of religion. In today's episode, I open up (like, way, way up!)...

Have you ever read a book that took something intangible (such as joy) and the author made it feel approachable and, dare I say, attainable? That's exactly how I felt while reading Ingrid Fetell Lee's “Joyful.” I've always sought to cultivate joy, but Ingrid gave me the framework and vernacular to take my study to the next level. Throughout the book she explores how joy can be purpo...

So, what are these “primary foods” you keep talking about, you ask? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Funnily enough, they’re not what you’d think! The Institute for Integrative Nutrition taught me the value of nourishing yourself with what feeds your heart and soul first, and that when these areas of life are given the care they deserve it’s easier to then focus on your secondary foods (what you actually eat!) and choos...
