I regularly get inspired by my friend Mary Lou because she’s a great example of taking exquisite care of herself and her life. Yesterday I had a phone conference with her and some other colleagues. We meet twice a month to coach each other and build our businesses. I was struck by something she said:

I saw my friend Deb yesterday and as we were catching up, she mentioned that she’s been making it a priority to walk 45 minutes everyday. As a health coach, you know I love anyone that’s making regular, daily exercise a priority. And I was struck by something she said — walking is meditation for

Last night we were doing a Q&A/Coaching call as part of my Don’t Worry, Get Healthy 12-Week program and it reinforced for me that people make the most progress when it’s done slowly, over time. Forget those 180 turns where things last for a fleeting moment. This is about making permanent changes that will stick. As

You’ve heard me talk a lot about slowing down and tuning in and I believe it can’t be more important than when it comes to heart health. The truth is, when we’re busy running around and over-committing to way too many things in our life, as so many of us do, we really can’t feel what’s

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure and privilege of attending a week-long course called Avatar. In addition to getting away and seeing the sun in Florida, I was able to have a really life changing experience that’s all about the power to transform our health.

Last week I decided to have a “news blackout” and detach myself from all kinds of news – via the newspaper, TV and radio. This was extremely hard for me — I constantly like to be tuned into what’s going on in the world and I hate feeling like I’m missing anything. At the same
