Your body has a message — are you listening?

Hello Reader, Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how often our bodies and lives whisper to us — little nudges to pause, rest, or shift. Healthy aging isn’t something we think about once a year in September; it’s a daily practice of noticing, listening, and choosing how to respond with compassion. Listening to the Body’s Whispers That’s what inspired this month’s blog. Our bodies don’t just shout in pain — they whisper through subtle aches, fatigue, or tension. When we pause and listen, we...

Autumn Hello Reader, Sometimes I find myself reminiscing about autumn up north — the crisp air, cozy sweaters, apple picking, and that first welcome coolness after summer’s heat. There was always something refreshing about releasing summer and embracing the change of a new season. Here in South Florida, the shift is more subtle — 88 instead of 92, humidity at 60% instead of 100%. It’s less about pulling on sweaters and more about changing the color of clothing. And while I no longer hold on...

Hello Reader, The Country’s Heart is Heavy In the past 24 hours, our nation has felt the weight of loss with the passing of Charlie Kirk — a young advocate, a man of faith, family, and conviction. Whether you agreed with his words or not, his sudden death is a shock that ripples through us all. I did not know him personally, but for a time I subscribed to his newsletter Tipping Point. I admired his passion and his commitment to the values he held dear. What I feel now is not only sadness for...

Duke Hello Reader, Oops — quick correction! The links in my last email didn’t work as planned (technology, right?). 💫 Below is the updated version with working links — thank you for being here and rolling with me! An Unexpected Lesson from Duke & Kona The other day I was walking my golden doodle, Duke—all 85 pounds of him—when I met a neighbor carrying a puppy. Kona, just 12 weeks old and under 10 pounds, wasn’t sure about walking. I suggested we try together, and soon Duke and Kona were...

Duke Hello Reader, An Unexpected Lesson from Duke & Kona The other day I was walking my golden doodle, Duke—all 85 pounds of him—when I met a neighbor carrying a puppy. Kona, just 12 weeks old and under 10 pounds, wasn’t sure about walking. I suggested we try together, and soon Duke and Kona were trotting side by side. Twenty minutes later, after laughter, conversation, and a new connection, I realized how much that small moment had lifted both our spirits. Healthy aging isn’t just about...

Hello Reader, From the moment of conception, we are aging. Think of that. Aging doesn’t suddenly “arrive” in our 40s or 50s—it’s been with us all along. Yet somewhere along the way, the story flips: we go from can’t wait to get older (to drive, to date, to work, to feel independent) to quietly fearing what aging might take away. Maybe it’s really about independence. And maybe that’s why healthy aging can feel so loaded. Here’s what I know:Everything begins with the mental. That’s not just an...

Hello Reader, Quick fixes may promise results, but they rarely deliver true wellness. Drugs like Ozempic can shrink us, but often at the cost of muscle, bone, and gut health. Our bodies change as we age, and the way we nourish them must evolve too. True health is about strength, clarity, and energy that lasts. I share more about this in my latest blog: 👉 Read: Beyond Quick Fixes—Nourishing with Inner Wisdom But I also thought you’d enjoy a peek into my own kitchen. Here are 3 simple recipes I...

Hey Reader 💫 Do your food choices reflect today’s you—or the habits and rules of yesterday? For much of my life, the way I ate was shaped by expectations, routines, and what I thought was “healthy.” Sometimes that meant control. Other times it meant chasing a number on the scale. But eventually, I realized my relationship with food needed to evolve—just as I was evolving. My Story There were two times in my life when I was what the world called “skinny.” In college, stress and control led to...

Hey Reader July always feels like a whirlwind—vacations, visitors, heat, and a calendar that seems to fill itself. If you’re like me, sticking to a routine this time of year feels nearly impossible. Last week, I spent several days in Baltimore, and my usual workouts? Out the window. But here’s the funny thing—I probably moved more than I would have at home. I walked miles exploring the Inner Harbor, got my heart rate up swimming in the hotel pool, and even dropped into a local yoga class that...
