In the last email we talked about our relationship with food. So, when was the last time you were adventorous with your food? Have you really paid attention to what food brings your body joy and what causes it to be sluggish?

In the latest episode of Choose to Live, Love & Grow, Kate Galli and I talk about what it is like being on a plant-based diet. When you want to eat a certain way, it can be difficult to maintain that in social settings or dining out. People want you to eat or drink like them and may not be as accepting of your decisions.

But, just like most changes in our life, there is a way to approach the situtation with love and empathy where you can stay true to who you are and what you believe and still have a good time with friends and family.

One amazing piece of information Kate gave us is how to handle overwhelm:

Only focus on what you can control
Value the small wins
Eliminate unnecessary inputs
Respect structure is freedom
Willingness to upgrade freedom structure
Have awareness to catch a sip
Escape to nature daily
Lock and load the big rocks first
Mindfulness

The Rug Doesn't Lie

Good Morning {{first_name}}, There is one thing that men tend to do too often that leads to more complications. We don't have the hard conversations. We tell ourselves that if we just ignore it, we can keep the peace. And let's be honest, we already have enough in our heads and enough on our plates. Why would we deliberately add more to it? So we sweep it under the rug. Out of sight, out of min...

The one thing that kept me from going under

Good Morning {{first_name}}, When everything in your life is falling apart — what's the one thing you keep doing? Not because you feel like it. Not because someone told you to. But because somewhere deep down you know that if you stop doing that one thing, you might not find your way back. Everyone has one. And the one thing it is never — is isolation. I learned that lesson twice. The hard way ...

The best thing I did this Father's Day had nothing to do with being productive

Hey {{first_name}}, Happy belated Father's Day to every dad reading this. You may not always get the recognition, support and appreciation you deserve, but your children will always remember your presence. Not your productivity. Not your hustle. Your presence. You get to be the generation cycle breaker. The creator. That's hard work — changing patterns from previous generations into habits and ...
