I am no expert, but I want to share my cancer battles and my mental health journey with you, some stress reduction ideas for your life, and hopefully some fun things along the way. Plus strategies I have found successful for me and give you tools for success with your health and life. Life can knock us down through health or life challenges but that doesn't need to stop us. Welcome friends, I am so glad you are here and that you learn something helpful along the way!
It’s incredibly hard to believe that it’s been 20 years this summer since I began my second cancer journey. The pictures above are from about 20 years ago if you can believe it. When I think back on all that happened back then and since I can hardly believe it. Apparently it's all hard to …
Let’s start off with a question. Or two. Hhmm or three. What do you know about sleep? How important do you think it is? Who knows what circadian rhythm is? I am sure those questions hit each of you in a different place. Some of you might have barely even thought about sleep and why …
Boom! Thyroid cancer! Cancer again! Seriously? Those were some of the things I was thinking at age 26 when I got the news. I actually received the news accidentally over the phone at work from one of my doctors. He spilled the beans by mistake to me because he thought one of my other doctors …

The fall is just about here. Well some days it feels like it's here and then other days it's +32 in September. Maybe just here last week. I haven't seen the s-word in the forecast yet but I know the white stuff is coming. Do you feel like there is just something about this time …
A personal story. You have one, I have one. Crazy how that works, right? I recently was asked to share my health journey with a group of people in a webinar. Not really sure now many people were on the call. Probably between 60-70. Every time I share my story with anyone whether it's one …
