I was talking with someone the other day and realized—not everyone sees therapy, coaching, and brain work the way I do. For me, it’s like brushing my teeth or moving my body. We all know working out is good for our bodies, and I think of coaching, therapy, and other mind tools as ways to work out my mind.

As a young man, today’s guest, Anthony Verhagen, was hit by a drunk driver in a devastating car accident and determined to be dead at the scene. He was later revived but suffered multiple life-altering injuries.

When “beginner” workouts left me in days-long flares, I knew I needed a different approach. I’d already tried four different fitness plans and was feeling pretty discouraged. I wasn’t losing weight, and the workouts were so hard on my body that, as someone with multiple chronic health conditions and chronic pain, I’d be wiped out for days afterward.

Does your family have lore? You know—those stories that get told over and over again? Well, imagine my surprise when one of those familiar childhood stories—one I’ve heard a million times—suddenly made me feel all triggered and uncomfortable.

What if trying harder isn’t the solution? For a long time, I thought that if I just did more—learned more, tried more therapies, did each thing better, lived cleaner, worked harder—I could fix all my problems and prevent future ones. But what if the real shift doesn’t come from doing more… but from letting go?

I’m so grateful for my body and everything it’s carried me through, and also...I have a lot of complicated feelings about it. After a really tough year, my body changed. My clothes didn’t fit. And navigating that has been emotional.

Suffering from nightly back pain? SAME. I mean it’s nothing to brag about, but I’m going on seven years of it. (Minus a short, but glorious, stint of relief…before it returned with vengeance.) In my quest for a cure, I’ve tried a million things. So in today’s episode, I’ll share what’s been helpful, what hasn’t, and what gave me a few months of relief.

I’m back! Season 2 of the podcast—here we go! After a long pause, I’ve been feeling the pull to start podcasting again. In this episode, I talk about supporting our kids through PDA autistic burnout. What even is PDA autistic burnout? What does it look like? What strategies were helpful? And what does life look like now that we’re (mostly) on the other side?

Parenting disabled children is an experience I wasn’t fully prepared for. One of the most helpful things I've found is connecting with other parents who’ve been through similar experiences. My guest today, Kelley Coleman, is a mom of a disabled child and the author of the essential guidebook, 'Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child.'

Processing past experiences has been an important piece in my healing and wellness journey.

She is trained in the Integrative Processing Technique and in this episode, we discuss what it is, what a session entails, her story of how got into this type of healing work, and I share some of my own personal experiences with it.

I’ve talked with several people lately that are having a tough time. They've felt unusually emotional or found themselves grumpy and struggling to get through the day without knowing why. And I’ll admit, I’ve been struggling too and I think I know why. In this episode, I’ll share what I’ve been struggling with, what I’ve learned about how our bodies hold onto past traumas and how to heal, and what I’m doing to cope in this season.
