What if I told you there was a way you can increase longevity as you age?

I recently spoke with Ben Rein, PhD, on the latest episode of Everyday Awakening, and together we explored how we can continually form new positive neural pathways throughout our lives. We discuss why connection and friendship matter, and the neuroscience that proves it.

Our bodies are actually rewarded when we're with others, while isolation triggers a stress response. Human connection doesn't just feel good, it reshapes our biology and helps us live longer.

Ben Rein, PdD is an award-winning neuroscientist and has published over 20 peer-reviewed papers studying the neuroscience of social behavior. He just released his new book - Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection.

This was such a great conversation. If you're ready to heal, awaken, and deepen inwardly, this conversation is one to press play on.

Wanted to share my take on what Dr. Lisa Miller said on the Mel Robbins Podcast.

She makes incredible points, and I wanted to take it one step further.

Let me know in the comments below if this resonates with you!

Sometimes magic interrupts dinner. The other night, the sky asked us to step outside and remember we are alive.

We drove to the lake near our home and stood under the Northern Lights hovering over Minneapolis. Breath slowed. Hands found each other. Words were not necessary.

It is wild how beauty can arrive in the most ordinary moments.

May you find your own sky this week. Step outside, even for one breath. Let beauty find you.

If this resonates, share it with someone you love.

Fun trip to LA to meet Dr. Christian Gonzalez and be on his incredible podcast, Heal Thy Self.

This was one of my favorite podcast conversations yet. We explored spirituality, healing, and what happens when we die.

I’ve witnessed time and time again that we can heal right up until our final moments. Our hearts crack open and we realize love is all that matters.

Thank you, Dr. G, for such an inspiring and soulful conversation.

Contentment is emotional freedom - no more chasing shiny objects, no longer ruled by the pull of “more.”

When you loosen your grip and embrace the life you have now, you naturally fall into your deeper calling.

Being at peace with where you are, right here and now, is true freedom.

I recently found an old cassette of my senior high school speech from 1983—and heard my father’s voice for the first time in nineteen years. Time collapsed.

At 18, I stood at a wooden podium in front of my entire high school and said, “Life is no guarantee… we are blessed to be alive.”

Forty years later, that truth still lives in me. Every morning begins with thank you.

Life is fragile. Life is precious.

How do you want to live this day?

The guidance you’re searching for?

It’s already within.

Slow down and you will begin to hear it.

This week, I sat down with Ashley Turner, licensed psychotherapist, yoga and meditation expert, and psychedelic therapist. Ashley's mission is to reshape the narrative around menopause and midlife, helping women thrive through this profound threshold of initiation and guiding men to awaken to their true nature. Her work empowers you to reclaim your voice, vitality, and vision in midlife and beyond.

Together, we explored what it truly means to heal - mind, body, and spirit. Healing is not a destination but rather an integration and an opening. Can you live from your soul and trust that the journey itself is the destination?

“Your life is your curriculum,” as stated by Ram Dass. It is a path of becoming.

We’re not afraid of dying, we’re afraid of aging.

As our bodies change, our ego starts to feel threatened. But we are not our bodies. We are the awareness behind them.

Energy doesn’t die.

Breathe, be here now, and let aging become your teacher.

We are not our minds or our bodies, we are the awareness behind them.

Each day we choose how we live and who we become.

Try this exercise to quiet your thinking mind: write your name on a piece of paper and notice, who is the one observing? Awareness is where we experience deep peace, ease, and guidance.

John Strelecky and I share the same background of leaving the corporate world to pursue our passions. I was amazed by the similarities in our upbringings and lived experiences.

Thank you John for a wonderful conversation! I will always remember this conversation!

Open your heart and the Universe opens with it.

When love flows freely through you, life responds back to you - opportunities, synchronicities, and miracles appear. 

The more you open, the more life reveals its beauty. đź’«

What if I told you there is a way to live without regret.

Today’s episode of Everyday Awakening is with John Strelecky, author of the bestselling book The Café on the Edge of the World. Together, we explore what it means to live a life of purpose - how to listen inwardly, align with your calling, and consciously choose how you show up each day.

John is recognized as one of the 100 most inspirational thought leaders in personal development. His reminder that “life doesn’t happen by chance—it happens by choice. I am the chooser” is a powerful wake up call for us all.

This was such a fun conversation! You won’t want to miss it.
