A lot of brands lately have been posting about mental health and the awareness of it...trying to ensure we all realize it's okay to think about ourselves and our own well-being. And it's so true. How often are we thinking about work and others and our to do lists and all the madness of adulting ...
Don’t bottle it up
In our last podcast episode we talked about "letting it go," which goes well with not "bottling things up." Why? Because when we keep things held in, screw top on so tight, we can't breathe, our feelings/emotions come bursting out like champagne with the cork hitting a wall (and not as tasty as champagne). It's ...
you are not weak

It gives me pleasure to have them in my "tribe" and surrounding myself with people who are driven, good-hearted, striving for more each day, and still making time for the little things.

Safe answer? Maybe. True? Definitely. We all have different bodies, different nutritional/dietary needs, can go on different amounts of sleep, and carry different ...

Walking: My new Best Friend
I've lived in Boston for a while, and one of the best perks about this small city is that you can literally walk everywhere. Remember this past winter when it snowed and it was freezing almost every day? I still walked 2.25 miles to work and back each day. That's 4 and a half miles ...
