• Ep 202: Blue Light
    Mar 8 2021

    If you have a plant and water it, give it good soil, talk nice, but put it in a dark closet... Things are not going to go well.

    Light is so critical to our health for a myriad of reasons.

    However.. blue light can be a little much. With the amount of time we spend in front of blue light emitting devices, our relationship with light must change.

    If you are in front of a computer or phone all day or (especially) night, but it may be time to understand the effects of blue light.

  • Ep 201: Managing Stress
    Mar 8 2021

    Welcome to Season 2!

    We are kicking off the new season with a new format. Shorter episodes with more actionable steps to help you live well. We will also still have the occasional longer conversation with Richmond specialists - don't worry!

    Today is all about stress.

    Really, this whole past year is about stress.

    But we are chatting about how to manage it instead of eliminate it. Enjoy!

  • Ep 30: Blue Zones - Move Naturally
    Dec 28 2020

    Movement is one of the easiest aspects to change on your own. You can do that right now by choice.

    Everything in life is impacted by movement. It is the universal connection of all the other Blue Zones principles. Use it to connect, to eat, to breathe, everything.

    Motion is life, so move it!

  • Ep 29: Blue Zones - Eating Wisely
    Dec 21 2020

    All of the Blue Zones in the world are in different places, yet they have specific dietary habits. And that is not because they all eat the same, it's because the principles of diet remain the same.

    Which is great because that means you can apply it to your life even if you don't live in Costa Rica or Okinawa!

  • Ep 28: Blue Zones: The Right Outlook
    Oct 29 2020

    The right outlook on life. No wonder it's essential for those that are likely to live to 100 years old.

    I firmly believe that having a life purpose is so important to a fulfilled life. Every decision in health stems from an anchored purpose. Couple that with downshifting each day and we have an amazing set up for the right outlook!

  • Ep 27: Blue Zones - It's All About Connections
    Oct 17 2020

    I'm sure you have heard of the saying "You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with." That's exciting because you get control of that!

    One of the categories of the "Power 9" of the Blue Zones is all about connections. Belong, Right Tribe, and Family First.

  • Ep 26: Not Red or Green, but Blue Zones
    Oct 1 2020

    People in very specific areas around the world have a 10x greater likelihood of living to 100 than the rest of the planet. Must be something to that.

    Blue Zones. That's why.

    People in these areas of the world have specific characteristics in common that facilitate health. Unfortunately, Richmond is not a Blue Zone. But that doesn't mean we can't learn something from them!

  • Ep 25: "Mommy, They're Taking Away My Imagination!" with Pam Oken-Wright
    Sep 28 2020

    As Pam says on her website: "Every child is intelligent, resourceful, competent, and driven toward relationship with other people and the world. But not every child grows up believing this about himself."

    This was a wonderfully insightful and eye-opening conversation with Pam Oken-Wright (author, teacher, educational consultant, keynote speaker) about what we as parents can be doing to help support our children so that they can still be children and use that imagination and curiosity to enrich and drive their education. This is a must-listen for anyone who has or interacts with children, as it gives insight into how the child brain works and how we as adults can support and encourage their development and growth.

    Pam's book, "Mommy, They're Taking Away My Imagination" can be purchased on Amazon.
