Ever since my stage IV diagnosis, when I made a ton of healthy lifestyle changes, I'm often asked, "how did I start?" On this episode of "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast, I sit down with myself (and you) talking about what I did and how I did it.

From easy diet changes and moments of mindfulness to more physical activity, this episode is filled with tips and information on my journey as well as my SMALL steps formula for making healthy changes. Whether you're here to support your New Year's resolution or finding us months later, this is my message of motivation to you -  just start!
