    99) Recapping My First Extended Silent Meditation Retreat
    Dec 19 2025

    "Most of us live with the belief that we come from the past... we're stopping through the present.. on our way to the future. But the future is imagined, and the past is only a memory. The only thing that actually, definitely exists, is this exact moment."

    This was a quote from Howard (Howie Cohn), and a glimpse into what I, along with nearly 100 people, worked through for the last week at Spirit Rock.

    It's impossible to put words to what this experience was like. Anything I write or say diminishes it, honestly. But this episode answers the question so many have asked since I returned - "how was the retreat?"

  • 98) The *Actual* Best Way To Start (or Re-Start) a Workout Routine

    98) The *Actual* Best Way To Start (or Re-Start) a Workout Routine
    Jul 22 2025

    In this short episode, we're diving into two specific tools that can help you start (or re-start) your workout routine.

    This is not about having discipline or willpower, or magically finding time that didn't exist in your schedule a week ago.

    This is about how to *actually* do it -- whether you're getting into a fitness routine for the first time, or restarting after some time away.

  • 97) Three Essentials (and a Regret) of My Health Journey

    97) Three Essentials (and a Regret) of My Health Journey
    Jul 4 2025

    The before and after photos can make any health journey seem intense, quick, and as though a switch was miraculously flipped. In reality, though, any health journey - with any goal - is far more nuanced and complicated.

    Today I am sharing three essentials from my personal journey, which included not just losing 130lbs but reprioritizing my life, my self-esteem, view of self, and everything in between.

    I am also sharing one regret that I look back on that to this day slightly haunts me still. It is something I did not realize in the moment but I can see so clearly now.
