We mostly say “how ya doin?” when we say hello. How often do people ask you “How are you feeling today?” If we are sick or recovering from a bodily injury, then our people ask that all the time. But I want to know how are you feeling emotionally? Does your boss ever ask you …
You know what I’m still overcoming? Negative triggering thought patterns about food. I’m not much of an emotional eater because I do tend to feel my feelings but food certainly is comforting and I have put on a few pounds during the pandemic. Because of my podcast, I’ve been interviewing many people regarding dealing with …
When was the last time something felt REALLY difficult for you? I remember there was a time when I was petrified to stand up in front of a crowd. I felt my stomach churning, my hands sweating, my knees were shaking and my voice cracked when I first started. I was sure everyone could see …

Last week I had a birthday. It happens every year like clockwork. We all have our special day each year. How do you spend yours? Paul and I took a motorcycle adventure up to the beautiful state of New Hampshire and explored the little towns, country roads and the White Mountains. We rented an …
