How Do YOU Define Success?

I don’t believe it should be considered ”normal” to have to come home every day and “take the edge off”. What’s normal, to me, is choosing to create a life that doesn’t feel so hard and sharp, but rather a life that feels softer and gentler. I think it all comes down to the way…

Treat Yo Self!

“Treat Yo Self!” I see this slogan on everything from ice cream shop A-frames to memes on Facebook where people are gobbling up slabs of chocolate cake or guzzling back entire bottles of wine. And I GET it. I mean, I used to BE one of those people telling people, “C’mon…just one won’t hurt” or…

Mothering. And Gratitude.

Roger and I want to simply say, “thank you”, for the gift that is The Healthy Brain and Body Show. We birthed this baby back in 2017 and we couldn’t have imagined all it would become until it hit toddlerhood. This year was the most INCREDIBLE year yet, and I cannot begin to count the number of deeply…

Sobriety Starts HERE is HERE!

One year ago now, Roger and I launched our video podcast called Sobriety Starts HERE. We created it for those who are seeking and searching; perhaps googling late at night and with shaky hands, “How do I stop drinking?” or “How do I know if I’m an alcoholic?” We wanted a place for the sober-curious…

The TRUTH About The Sun, Tanning and Skin Cancer.

A few weeks ago, I shared about my experience with skin cancer. I had a mole (and the “margins”) on my back removed over a decade ago that contained pre-melanoma cells. Then, in January, I had two basal cell carcinomas removed from below my right eye. The surgery should have been “no big deal”. But…
