Are you prioritizing self-care and your well-being this holiday season? If you're like me, you've probably been spending quite a bit of time on Zoom calls and meetings—so, I did a little research on "Zooming" and the impact it has on overall wellness. Want to know what I found out? In this episode, I'm diving deeper into the long-term effects of video conferencing, why you might not even realize you're struggling with it, and how to create a plan to recapture your well-being (in-person and online!).

I'm exploring:

• Why holding too many roles can negatively impact you (and why some roles can never go away)
• My FAVORITE way to improve your cognitive function (it's so easy, too!)
• What to know about the 5 types of well-being
• How to tap into your inner well-being manager
• And much more!

Loss can occur in so many ways, and how we process the accompanying grief is an important step that is often overlooked. That's why I am so excited to bring you my chat with psychotherapist and grief recovery specialist, Lesleigh J. Tolin, in today's episode. She is passionate about her work teaching an evidence-based program that helps individuals feel alive again after loss. In this episode, Lesleigh shares the transformative process of the Grief Recovery Method, her advice to help uplift someone experiencing loss, and the honorable & honest process of creating an end-of-life plan.

We're exploring:

• The impact of our upbringing on how we experience grief & loss
• Some of the unspoken feminine grieving issues
• The power of making honest boundaries (and why we need to talk more about work/life integration)
• Why THIS is a key sign to look for when someone needs help
• What it means for a program to be called evidence-based
• And much more!
