Every breath is a cycle, just as every life and year is a cycle. As you explore the cycles of your breath, especially the bottom of your exhale – your winter – ask yourself, “what season of life am I in?” With the silence of winter, the emptiness after your exhale, lies the magic of possibility. Trust that the air is coming…
In this episode, I talk about the habitual patterns of thought that are hurting us. We all have a mindset – a way of seeing the world. But is this mindset causing you undeserved pain? Think about it… what is the story you tell yourself far too often, which deep down you know is not true? It lies somewhere in the region of “I’m not good enough”, “I am not loved,” and “I am useless”. Learn how to interrupt these destructive patterns of thought so that they are no longer your go-to. Release the mindsets that are hurting you and replace them with ones that empower and nurture you…

In this episode I talk about how, in any unpleasant experience, we have the potential of hurting ourselves twice. Most of us grew up hearing messages telling us not to feel what we were feeling – “toughen up”, “look on the bright side”. With these messages, we have become so good at beating ourselves up for having a “negative” emotion, such as sadness or anger. As a result, we end up getting angry because we’re angry, disappointed because we’re impatient and so on. Today I share the life changing lesson on primary and secondary experiences, how you have permission to feel what you are feeling, and how to soften the…
We all go through periods where it is hard to do it all; where simply doing 10% of what we’re used to doing feels like an enormous, perhaps even impossible task.

I also introduce the amazing lesson that motivation does not lead to action… Quite the opposite. To learn more about Wholistic Joy Wellness, click here…
What makes you valuable? Is it how thin you are? How important your job is? Where you live? Today I look at this question… I put so much focus and emotional energy agonizing over things like weight that I have to remind myself of what truly matters. In the end, the things that make others love you is not your pant size nor your income. It’s how you make them feel. Go to wholisticjoywellness.com to learn more…

It’s time to concede. I get it, this is hard. You lost and nobody likes to lose. Whether I agreed with how you ran the country or not is irrelevant. In the end, this is the moment that is going to matter more than anything else you said and did. This is the choice that will be remembered. So, what are you choosing? As you navigate these times, which I am sure are filled with anger, resentment, sadness, loss, grief, anxiety, stress, hurt, and pain remember that you have a choice. And this choice is huge – I truly believe that what you choose now will influence the rest of your life. Think of those moments where, when you forget…
1 minute read. We’re often taught that bravery and vulnerability do not go together. That to be brave you cannot also be emotional. In fact, to push your emotions aside is the precise definition of brave. But think about it for a moment… Think back to a time in your life when you showed enormous courage. What other emotion or sensation was there? Here’s the truth: courage CANNOT exist without fear, discomfort, or emotional vulnerability. If you did something that was not first scary, uncomfortable, or emotional, then to do it would not require bravery. The people we consider the bravest in the world are not immune to fear, discomfort, or vulnerability. On the contrary…
