Catherine Canadeo: Health & Wellness

11/20/2025

A wonderful evening at the Commercial Industrial Brokers Society (CIBS) of Long Island Holiday Party at The Lannin.

It was an honor to celebrate my dear friend and colleague, Tsoukalas Curto, Land and Zoning Partner at Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP, as she received the Associates Award last night. Andrea’s dedication, leadership, and integrity continue to inspire everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her.

The night was filled with warmth, meaningful conversations, and genuine connection. Events like this remind us that beyond networking, it’s the relationships we build and the collaborations we cultivate that truly elevate our professional community.

Congratulations again, Andrea — so well deserved!

The recent Hellenic Professional Women event at PureCare Pharmacy & Wellness was nothing short of extraordinary. Hosting this community of brilliant, driven women reminded me of something deeply true: our collective power is immeasurable. HPW creates spaces where Greek women connect, empower one another, and boldly pursue their dreams — and in doing so, they strengthen our community in ways that ripple far beyond a single event.

When women show up for each other, we become unstoppable. We are resilient, intelligent, compassionate, and fiercely capable. Imagine what we can accomplish when we stand side by side, share our knowledge, and lift one another higher. This event captured that spirit beautifully.

It was at an HPW gathering that I first met Catherine Canadeo — someone I am now proud to call a close friend and colleague. She has since joined our team at PureCare as an Integrative Nutritionist, and her authentic, selfless support has been instrumental as we open our new pharmacy. Catherine is a living example of what happens when women choose collaboration over competition. There is truly room for all of us to grow, thrive, and succeed together.

My heart is full of gratitude for HPW and for the space it creates — a space where women shine their light and help others shine theirs too. This is the power of community, of unity, and of women uplifting women. And together, there is no limit to what we can achieve. 💪🏻💞

I was honored to serve as a featured panelist and to be part of such a meaningful evening. A special thank-you to Georgia Amigdalos and Tom Amigdalos for sponsoring and welcoming us into the PureCare community.

As PureCare’s Initiative Wellness Advisor, I’m proud to support their commitment to elevating client and patient care through a more comprehensive, whole-person approach to health.

Have you ever noticed how your energy shifts when you pause to appreciate something, a quiet morning, a loved one’s smile, or simply the gift of being alive?

As the holidays approach, it’s the perfect time to reflect on gratitude, not just as a feeling, but as one of nature’s most powerful wellness tools. Regularly practicing gratitude has been shown to reduce stress, lower inflammation, improve sleep quality, and even support overall longevity. It softens the nervous system, strengthens the immune system, and helps us move from “fight or flight” into balance and peace.

✨ This November, give yourself and your health the gift of gratitude. It costs nothing, yet it has the power to heal, uplift, and renew from the inside out.

When employees feel seen and heard, everything changes. So, how can HR make that happen?

Happy teams don’t happen by accident... They’re built through empathy and connection. 🌿

In the final video of my SHRM Conference series, I had the pleasure of speaking with Laurie and Mark from SHRM National, one of only 18 Super Mega Chapters across the country. Together, we discussed how HR plays a vital role in fostering emotional well-being and resilience in the workplace.

We explored how empathy, flexibility, and authentic communication create psychologically safe environments where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered. Laurie shared how offering flexibility and understanding individual working styles boosts productivity and morale. Mark emphasized that transparent, collaborative communication builds trust, strengthens relationships, and drives better business outcomes.

It’s a reminder that emotional wellness, empathy, and open dialogue are the foundation of strong workplace cultures and happier, healthier teams.

Engagement starts at the top. When leadership leads with empathy and wellness, everyone thrives.

At the SHRM Conference, I also had the pleasure of speaking with Adam Brier of Paylocity about the social aspects of the wellness wheel and how nurturing the “soul for the role” directly impacts organizational culture and productivity.

Together, we discussed how prioritizing emotional resilience and preventative wellness programs leads to lower absenteeism, reduced burnout, and higher ROI.

When leaders lead with empathy and care, employees feel valued, supported, and inspired to show up as their best selves. A reminder that wellness in the workplace starts from the top, with culture, compassion, and conscious leadership.

What if the secret to a longer, healthier life starts with how you care for your mind?

Mental health isn’t separate from physical health. It’s the foundation of true wellness. Your thoughts, emotions, and stress levels directly influence your energy, hormones, and even longevity.

Here are 5 simple ways to nurture your mental well-being as part of your wellness journey:
🌿 Pause daily. Step away from your phone or laptop for ten minutes and breathe deeply, let your mind reset.
🍲 Nourish your body. Choose whole, nutrient-rich foods that stabilize mood and energy throughout the day.
🍁 Connect with nature. Take advantage of the beautiful fall weather, a brisk walk outdoors can calm the mind and lift your spirit.
🩷 Practice gratitude. Write down one thing you’re grateful for each morning or before bed to shift your focus toward positivity.
🤝 Seek connection. Reach out to a friend, have coffee together, or simply check in… meaningful relationships are key to emotional resilience and longevity.

When you make mental health a priority, you’re not just managing stress, you’re supporting a healthier, longer, more fulfilling life.

✨ Take care of your mind, and your body will follow.
