It is always easier to give advice rather than take it. But even the best advice turns hollow if you're not applying it to yourself. In this episode of Thick & Thin, I talk through my most recent epiphany about taking better care of myself.

Cheers to the present! We will never be able to tell the future, so why spend the energy worrying about it? In this episode of Thick & Thin, my goal is to stop wasting my time trying to control the narrative, but sometimes the anticipatory anxiety and endless what-ifs, win.

Flying too close to the sun (Encore episode)

We all hate being told what to do. It's a tale as old as time. So in this episode of Thick & Thin, I try to discover why. Why is it human nature to crave what we can't have? Is it for thrills? For power? For knowledge? Or perhaps, all of the above.
