It has to do with how we hold ourselves and relate to our feelings. It means finding th...

What The Fox?!® brought return guest speaker Jay Tinsle...

The holidays can be tough for anyone, but they can be especially stressful when you’re a highly sensitive person. Highly sensitive people (HSPs) are the roughly 20% of the population whose nervous system processes everything more deeply.

Are healthy boundaries allowed to exist during the holidays? Contrary to popular belief, we're here to give an emphatic YES! NOvember is a time to practice saying "no" to people, places, and things that may sabotage your health and well-being and YES to protecting your personal peace.
