How aware are you of the words you use on a daily basis? We aren’t often aware of how our language impacts us subconsciously. There is power in language, and there is also sabotage.

Today I unpack the power of our language and explain how this idea led to renaming the show. Ar...

When I was in chiropractic school I was known for being a bit of a thorn in the school administration’s side as the chief content editor of our school paper.

Resilience is something we often view as a strength. It’s that deep-seated commitment to moving forward, to reaching a goal, to not letting life get us down.
