On this episode I share with you techniques to decrease your stress by self-soothing touch. It is human nature to need to be touched to feel content and safe. Physical touch has a protective effect on the physiologic stress response. A hand hold or a hug from another can relieve your stress.

Research has shown that alternatively, self-touch gestures can be used to decrease your stress response and actually decrease yo...

On this episode, I have a really important question for you: How old are you really? Not your chronologic age (how many years you have been on this earth).... but your cellular age that is determined at the genetic level. The cellular age is the actual age of your cells.

On this episode I share with you what you can do to interrupt and gain control when fear becomes a full on panic attack (this just happened to me while hiking a very high peak the week before recording this episode!)

On this episode, I teach you about how damaging labels can be. Now when I say labels, you may be thinking about those sticky labels such as on jars. But I want to focus on a different type of label, those are the labels that you create with your words….we can call them “word labels”. And just like the sticky labels, the longer you hold onto word labels, the “stickier they become” and the harder they are to remove. Your brain’s default mechanism is based on primitive thinking of taking short cu...

Most of the time (if not all of the time), that actually isn't the case. And there is blame and shame involved i...
