Lessons from Retreat

Lessons from Retreat

Ahhh, friend, I'm recently "back" from a 7-day virtual meditation retreat (a truly pandemic experience since I did the whole retreat from home but definitely felt as if I were somehow away at the most divine summer camp)…

I'm Doing Everything

I'm Doing Everything

One of the most common things I hear from clients, friends, and family is: I'M DOING EVERYTHING! And when we dig into it together, I hear people say everything from "my partner isn't helping," to, "I don't think my family cares about me," to, "my co-workers are doing it wrong."…

Personal Sustainability

Personal Sustainability

Happy (almost) Earth Day! In honor of the spirit of sustainability, we're going to talk about personal sustainability on the podcast this week.

Participate in Your Wellbeing
