  • I'm 53 years old, with an artificial hip, and last week I experienced my first "runners high"

    Yá'át'ééh abiní. I am over 50 years old and one year ago I had hip replacement surgery. Over the past year I have been intentional about increasing my daily walking regiment from 1-2 miles per day to between 7-9 miles each day. About a month ago I incorporated running into my routine and last week I experienced my first "runners high". Today over My Second Cup of Coffee I talk about my experience. I invite you to join me.

  • Toxic Positivity

    Yá'át'ééh abiní. Today is Tuesday, March 26 and over My Second Cup of Coffee, using the book "The 5 AM Club" as context, I am talking about the self-help industry and the way it over simplifies problems, fails to recognize real challenges and offers shallow, repackaged solutions. This "toxic positivity" often renders many self-help resources meaningless at best and harmful at worst for POC, women, LGBTQ+ and other people on the margins of society. I invite you to grab a cup of your favorite hot morning beverage and join me.
