Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: The Tool Is Not the Plan I hope you’re having a wonderful week! There are more tools available to support our health than ever before. Medications.

They may help us feel better, create momentum, or make a difficult goal feel more manageable. But a tool still needs a purpose. This week, we are talking about GLP-1 medications,...

We're only about a year apart in age, and as someone who grew up watching her, her passing sparked some reflections I wasn't expecting. I don't want to speculate about how she died. Instead, I want to share where those thoughts led me. Inside...

Wellness Wednesday This Week's Theme: Who's Holding the Microphone? Hi Reader, This week's newsletter almost looked very different. So let's jump right in. I sat down ready to write about body image. I had pages of notes, stories I wanted to share, and a completely different direction planned. But every time I opened my laptop, my thoughts wandered somewhere else. So I stopped writing.

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: Sometimes the Lesson Is for You Hi Reader, I hope you're having a wonderful week!
