For all of my life, I’ve had 2 favorite holidays – 4th of July (Independence Day) and Thanksgiving. These holidays are uniquely American and are not celebrated only by those of specific religions. They involve gathering with friends and family…

042 – Do I want a new job? Or something else?
Instead of doing what I should be doing, I sit here writing. Because I should be preparing for the interviews that I’ve secured, that is what a competent person would do. Instead, I am actively brainstorming ways to self sabotage…
041 – October Energy
It’s true… During the pandemic, I lost touch with one of my favorite pastimes. Watching baseball. The first few months of 2020 brought nothing but screens – everyone for work on Zoom, social engagements on Zoom, conferences on Zoom, lots…

035 – Adventures in Breathwork
I have a confession to make. I’ve always hated breathwork. Historically, if I have been in a yoga class and the teacher says “ok, let’s do some alternate nostril breathing,” I want to run away screaming. This technique as well…
034 – The New Shiny Object
It was time… It’s hard to believe but this pandemic has been going on now for over 365 days. To the point where it feels normal to live like this – no restaurants, no concerts, no friendly gatherings. Each day…
