Here's to the life-long inward journey of self-discovery. May we cherish each step of our paths.

From the warmth of a morning sunbeam to the shared laughter with a friend, the act of adding more joy is an invitation to revel in the present, embracing the extraordinary within the seemingly ordinary.
The best part? The essence of pouring joy extends far and beyond personal experience; it's a contagious energy that radiates outward, influencing our families, friendships, and communities.
It's a collective effort to create a ripple effect, crafting an environment where joy begets more joy.
I had the pleasure of interviewing my dear friend Robin Shear on SATIATE about her work as a joy coach, and I thought it would be a fun episode to share with you over this holiday season, especially if you are someone who notices an uptick in your stress at this time of year.

Robin Shear is an international keynote speaker, bestselling author & joy coach. She helps depleted givers feel good again so they can give from a place of fullness. She gave her first TEDx talk in September and will soon travel to speak at a nonprofit conference in South Africa. She’s been interviewed in TIME Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Psychology Today. 

Sharing joy was easy until Robin faced several hidden issues, making joy a choice. Within 4 years she coped with PTSD, incurable chronic pain, an unrelenting head injury and more. Yet, joy was found in the mess. Her resulting book, Messy Joy: How Joy Can Begin Before Your Difficulties End, helps readers know how they can find joy in their own lives, despite their circumstances. Amazon named it a #1 New Release just weeks after it was published. 

Robin and her husband find joy in making memories with their two adult children and their spouses, who make up the 6-Pack. They live in Michigan with their attention-starved goldendoodle who will likely get on camera and steal the show.

Here's to the life-long inward journey of self-discovery. May we cherish each step of our paths.

There is so much pain and tragedy in the world, and yet I know we are all still trying to go about our days getting our tasks done, being a calming presence for the many people in our lives, and smiling as we pass one another on the street or in the grocery store.
How can we hold both?
Just this morning, as I walked around Lake McIntosh with a friend of mine (who happens to be Jewish), we spoke about all the upheaval in the world and how it is impacting her Israeli family, while we also noticed the majesty of the perfectly serene lake reflecting the stunning freshly snow-covered Longs Peak. 
While living with opposing feelings might feel strange, toggling between opposing emotions and giving ourselves permission to feel it all is the most healing path.
As many of you know, I took a short pause from my podcast early this spring so I could focus on the completion of my manuscript (which is heading into production as we speak), and I have been saving this next episode for you since then.
What is so timely is that in the interview that I am finally sharing with you today, Stephanie Mara Fox and I talk all about cultivating a calm and grounded relationship with self through the lens of food, the nervous system, and Polyvagal Theory.
What would the world feel like if we could all be operating from a more calm, grounded, and regulated nervous system?

Pour yourself a cup of something cozy, snuggle up, and listen to this new episode of SATIATE!
May this be of service,

In this SOLO episode and the debut of a brand new season of SATIATE hear Sue's personal personal (and vulnerable) story of almost burnout to balance.

Call it perimenopause, my aging wisdom, or deep intuition (I am still not sure), but I started waking up in the middle of the night with a terrible panic setting in. In the wee dark hours of the night I kept having the recurring fantasy of canceling everything –– and I mean everything.
I don't remember ever having that feeling before.
Honestly, it scared the yoga pants off of me.
What I discovered and what I did next is what I am sharing with you in this brand new episode (and brand new season) of SATIATE: From (Almost) Burnout to Balance. 
Have a listen when you are folding your laundry, taking a bath, walking your dog, or driving to work (my favorite times to listen to podcasts).
This is potent medicine of our time. I know this simply because I sit with women all day long in my private practice and on retreat who share with me their version of a very similar story. I know I am not alone.
