It's summer and while that often means having more fun (I hope!) and less structure, sometimes we can take that second one a bit too far. Last week I took less than 30 minutes to do a couple of things to help set up my week and those few things made a huge impact, so today I'm sharing what I did and hope to inspire you to find what simple things you can do to set up your week too!

In today's #ShortAndSweetForSummer episode I'm going to encourage you to cut yourself a break by renovating your to-do list so you can live for yourself, maintain those new boundaries and improve your stress resiliency.

Work to live, don't live to work. Don't be a supporting character in your own life. Don't live in the margins of your own life. These are all quotes I've heard over the years and for some reason that last one in particular hit home. Because I spent well over a decade living in the margins of my own life, and I don't want to do it anymore. And I don't want you to either.

As we slowly start to make our way back to "normal" life, it's going to be easy to fall back into the "overbooked" and "overbusy" traps we had fallen in re-pandemic. But if there is anything most of us learned over this past 1 1/2 years it is that we seem to enjoy a slower, less hectic life than we were living. But the pressure is going to be there to go back to doing #AllTheThings making now the...

When we experience a stressful situation in our lives it triggers a new stress cycle in our body. In a perfect world, we go through the stress cycle to competition so our body can back into a state of homeostasis. Unfortunately, many times we start a stress cycle and never complete it, so it's still running in the background causing havoc on our bodies. And for many of us, we have hundreds of inco...

Toxic positivity is becoming more and more problematic as people choose to share "love and light" and tell people to "stay positive" instead of allowing others (and themselves) to feel their feelings. Feelings aren't good or bad, being sad, mad, or angry is a reaction to something and a way for you to process what is going on. And you need those feelings. In today's episode, Suzi talks about how t...
