Being a high level competitive athlete requires complete commitment and dedication, which is really cool until it isn’t.

Episode 277- The myth of the "athlete's body".

Episode 276- The Serenity Prayer

I’ve always loved this prayer and now more than ever it seems appropriate.

Episode 275- The dichotomy of the fat dog.

Have you ever seen someone with a dog that’s a little, let’s say, “overfed”? You know what I mean. The dog that spends too much time on the couch and has a few too many leftovers from the dinner table? What do you think when you think about that dog’s owner and how her or she is treating that dog? Are they showing it too much love or not enough love?

A well-meaning expression, but one that I think can have the wrong effect on many people.

Episode 270- Becoming bulletproof.

Fear is driving the majority of the decisions that people are making these days. In the face of uncertainty and fear, it’s important to make smart and strategic decisions, not just fear-based decisions. Now, more than ever, it’s about becoming bulletproof against all the things that threaten to destroy your health, your livelihood and even your way of life.
