In this week's podcast, I interview Zovig Garboushian who was diagnosed with Grave's disease in 2017. She has been fighting ever since to understand the most effective way to heal from an autoimmune disease. The keys to getting better? Self advocacy, listening to her body, research and change. She gives powerful advice to anyone suffering from autoimmune disease, or any disease for that matter.

I believe that we are responsible for our own happiness. If something is out of wack, it's up to us to fix it. This week's podcast is about a woman who did just that. Amy Feezor seemingly had everything she'd ever wanted, but she wasn't entirely happy. Amy decided to change her life, in a big way. She started SAYING YES to lots of things. Anyone who dreams about a different life, or who has everything they ever wanted and it isn't right, should listen to this podcast.

This week's podcast focuses on why February sucks! Please ignore the insult if for some reason you love February. In the last few weeks, two clients, a friend and a family member have indicated that February sucks. There are actually reasons for this! In just 7 minutes, I'll take you through a few simple fixes to dealing with February. The good news is that, just like this podcast, it's short and it's almost done!

I have been thinking a lot about anger. I see more anger in my private practice than ever before. I see it on the news and on social media. The truth is, anger was an issue for me for many years. I know anger like an old friend you don't like, but have trouble saying no to. I spent years of my ex-marriage angry about things I couldn't control. Anger affected my happiness and my relationship. This week I am sharing my journey out of anger, and the 6-step program I developed to help others do the same. 

As many of you know, health and happiness are related. Self confidence and body image often go hand in hand. When you feel healthy and strong, you feel better. Over the years I have treated many people who desperately wanted to lose weight and yet weren't able to reach their desired goal. This week I interviewed a man who lost 53 pounds in just over 5 months! Kevin did not want to do a podcast together, but was willing to let me pick his brain regarding how and why he finally succeeded in losing weight.

I strongly believe that pleasure is an important and necessary part of a fulfilled life. You can call it play, joy, pleasure or fun. It's the activities you day dream about and the stuff you look forward to doing when you aren't working. This week's podcast is a discussion about pleasure with yoga teacher, blogger and health expert, Jill Griffiths. We discuss why pleasure is important and some of the research that back this up.
