What I’m talking about is Cracking Your Clan’s Code. Cracking Your Clan’s Code is about codifying your family values to design the household, future, and relationships you want to experience - day in and day out.

These natural elements work in a dynamic relationship with each other for our optimal health and vitality. The...

I broke from the group and made a beeline for the hotel in an effort to go straight to bed. I did...

Last week was just plain weird. I know emotions are still reeling. I'm hoping our inner activist takes upon more local and communal responsibility for creating the world we want to live in. In this effort, I have a new series of Tip Sheets - based on connectivity skills. Before we focus on relationships let's focus on ourselves. We're heading into the holiday season. Here is a tip sheet for you to align and take responsibility for what you experience. Print a few copies. Share with friends. If you want to make it...

Leading a Body Thrive book club has been an incredibly rewarding and transformative experience.

When we take time out twice a year to slow down, to rejuvenate, to heal, to reset, we give ourselves a chance to update our habits in line with who we want to be now. And, we update our habits in line with who we want to become. ...
