"I powered through this book in a few days in May, then went back to the start and went through each chapter much more slowly."

Rated 5 out of 5
"A great read. The writing style made it feel like I was part of a casual conversation. The use of personal touches and examples really helped me grasp the ideas as well. When I finished the book, I felt like I had visited a wellness outfitter who prepared me for my journey of wellness and sent me on my way feeling more resilient and confident in myself."

Bonus: we are sharing not one but two episodes this week on Life by Design! Join me in welcoming @debraroberts_lcsw! We explore how our upbringing shapes the way we express ourselves, the common traps we fall into during difficult conversations, and how a few practical strategies can help us build personal agency!
Gratitude doesn’t have to be another thing on your to-do list. It’s often the smallest shifts that make the biggest difference. A quiet thank you when you wake up. Changing “I have to” into “I get to.” Letting your eyes land on something that reminds you life holds good things too. These simple practices aren’t…
A sneak peek inside the pages of ‘I Hope So:’ Hope isn’t something that just happens; it’s something we cultivate through consistent, intentional actions. That’s where hope-fueled habits come in. As I often say, our daily habits are the building blocks of our well-be-ing. Tell me about your habits and I can tell you about…
On the latest episode of Life by Design, I am joined by entrepreneur, podcast host, and creator @scottdclary! We discuss the power of designing supportive environments and systems that make consistent action easier, as well as the role of our inner circles that both challenges and champions your growth. Whether you’re building a business, creating…
On today’s episode of Life by Design, I sit down with entrepreneur, podcast host, and creator @scottdclary for a conversation about the realities of success and what it really takes to build something meaningful over time. Scott and I explore the mindset behind the “10-year rule,” a long-term approach that reshapes not only how we…
A sneak peek inside the pages of ‘I Hope So’ A major barrier to acceptance is thinking that acceptance means approval or giving in. People tell me that if they accept whatever life circumstance they’re deal�ing with, it would be a sign of weakness or an excuse. They just have to work harder. I totally…
On today’s episode of In Time, @peterkatzmusic and I reflect on intention - how we choose it, declare it, and build lives around what actually matters to us. Why do hobbies that have nothing to do with productivity or income feel so grounding? How does publicly naming what we want make it more likely to…
Burnout is not a personal failure. It is not a matter of trying harder, delegating better, or finding the right system. Burnout often shows up in people who care deeply — about their work, their families, their communities, and the people around them. People who carry a great deal of responsibility and, over time, lose…
If you have a choice between choosing your work or choosing your family… Always pick your family. How can this value help you as a leader? If you give your team member some agency to be able to show up for loved one’s appointments, sporting events, sick days- in return you will get loyalty. Your…
