Too often, we live in a world of "either-or," and this seems especially true when it comes to wanting to make a great living and make an impact in this world.

One does not need to exist exclusive of the other, and we would argue that making a great living - on and with purpose - brings both peace and prosperity.

Thank you for tuning in to us, and we hope that in doing so, we are also able to help you, tune in to you.

In the last episode, we discussed the concept of home and how it can change over time and with different kinds of life experiences.

For Dr. Monica and I, retreats are exactly that and have played a powerful part in our collective growth and evolution.

In case you missed it, we will both be at the Synergy Retreat in September and would love to share - even if you can't be there - how you can make the most of this kind of precious investment.

P.S. Learn more about the Synergy Retreat here: https://www.thesynergyretreat.com/.

We often here things in the yoga or spiritual world like, "We are all just walking each other home," but what is home anyway?!

From the time I was small watching The Wizard of Oz, I wondered what was going on in Dorothy's head when she said "There's no place like home" because that kind of concept of home eluded me.

As I grew older, it was my own journey into the world - a rite of passage, really - that led me back to my own definition. Dr. Monica didn't truly find hers until the pandemic provided the space to find it.

Join us for this discussion, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

In episode , we talked a bit about purpose and after having some powerful conversations around this very topic, we decided to revisit and go a little deeper.

Not only do we share some practices for how to get closer to your understanding of purpose, but we ask some pointed questions about the time you spend alone with yourself.

Tune in, and feel free to share in the comments what comes up for you.

P.S. Are you coming to the Synergy Retreat? Its only two months away now: https://www.thesynergyretreat.com/.

When you hear 'how you do one thing is how you do everything,' what do you think of first? How does it make you feel?

In this episode, Dr. Monica and Melissa talk about transitions. And yes, life is one big transition from birth to death BUT have you ever thought about the actual transitions in your life, from day to day and moment to moment? There's a wealth of wisdom in those transitions.

Join us for a simple and revealing practice that won't take you any added time or effort in your day, but has the power to change everything in and about the quality of your life.

We believe in the Venn diagram, friends.

In life, there is more opportunity available to us when we stop looking at the 'either-or,' start focusing on the 'and,' AND allow this to invite in more possibility.

This conversation started when Dr. Monica and I were discussing the challenges of navigating the world of health and wellness when it comes to Western v. Eastern medicine, and how so much synergy exists when we are able to access the best of both worlds.

Listen in and if you can, weigh in. Let us know what you think. We are both committed to keeping open hearts and open minds, and interested in building bigger toolboxes to serve our clients. Thanks for tuning in!

Community is one of the two most important and most potent characteristics or effectors of our overall health. When we look at our world through this lens, we start to understand why there's so much dis-ease:

Given the wild times we've been in, we know its not likely this has improved, but we are here to talk about why and how we can begin to make a difference and create more community in this world.

Welcome to Tune In with Dr. Monica and Melissa - we are here to bring a weekly dose of wellness to your world, and while we thank you for tuning in to us, we hope that we can actually help you, tune into you.
