Travel The World with Your Kids
July 17, 2019
A few weeks ago I saw a quote on Instagram that has really stuck with me. It said: Do more of what you daydream about. If you were to peek into my daydreams you’d see travel, travel and more travel. To me, the world is an endless expanse of new experiences, new people and new […]
Your Brain in Relationships
This week my guest was Alicia Braccia, who I’ve had the great fortune to know for about five years through our daughters’ Montessori school. This was a conversation that has the potential to completely revolutionize your understanding of the people you love in your life, especially when they are mad, sad or frustrated. Alicia […]
What’s Your Calling?
I recently read a Washington Post article linking a sense of purpose to our health and longevity. Here’s a quote: “Over the past two decades, dozens of studies have shown that seniors with a sense of purpose in life are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, disabilities, heart attacks or strokes, and […]
A Cloudless Mind
I’m sure you’ve heard the research that says the average mind thinks between 60,000 – 80,000 thoughts a day. But have you ever really contemplated what these thoughts are exactly, and, even more out there, who’s thinking them?

The Art of Community
I recently read the book The Art of Community: Seven Principles for Belonging and I was so inspired by its message that I reached out to the author, Charles Vogl, to see if he’d be open to being interviewed. As you can probably guess, he said yes. A big takeaway from The Art of […]
A Daily Centering Practice
The idea of having a daily practice where we can each find our sanity and center again is a huge theme in my life at the moment. For starters, I began mentoring six women last month through what I call the Awakened Living Master Class, which takes place over two months and consists of weekly […]
Creating Sanctuary
Lately I’ve been interested in the concept of sacred spaces: places we can retreat to that allow us to come home to ourselves, to feel centered and find a sense of calm in this dizzying world. This interest led me to today’s guest, Jessi Bloom, who I found when I read her wonderful book, Creating […]
Character and Social Activism
Unless you’ve decided to move to a cave in the Himalayas, you probably share your life with people, maybe lots of them. That number grows exponentially when we include all of people that we meet every day who we’ll never actually get to know but may nevertheless impact. We don’t live in a vacuum; […]
Food & Togetherness
This week my guest was Kathleen Blake, an award-winning chef, two-time James Beard award nominee, and co-owner of The Rusty Spoon in downtown Orlando, FL. I’ve known Kathleen for more than a decade and while our skills related to food differ vastly, we completely align on how meals can be the richest and most important […]
