If you’ve struggled to stay Bright while you’re on the road (or in the plane or on the boat…), this vlog is for you. In it, I share three tips that make frequent travel solid and manageable…hard-won lessons that I learned from years of hitting the road frequently and finally finding the magic formula that works to keep me squeaky-clean Bright.

In this vlog, I share what that may look like.

Historical note: When Susan and her five friends went to Toronto, the news of an illness was in the media but it was unclear how worrisome it was. As they drove back to Rochester, NY from Toronto, COVID lockdowns happened. They were some of the last people from the USA to get across the border from Canada.

In my next book, Maintain, I’ll be talking about the art of keeping weight off over the long term. One way to accomplish that is by doing your inner work. What does that mean, though? In this vlog, I explain what people are talking about when they say they’re doing their inner work, and offer you some concrete examples of what it looks like.
