I've worked in the sports industry for 15 years and have been running my wellness business for 8 years. What both industries have taught me is that we can all do a little better to take care of our well-being. Whether you are just entering the workforce or consider yourself an experienced worker, I believe how we are working today is leading us to poor health. Poor health impacts every aspect of our lives. Spiritually, financially, physically, relationally, emotionally, and mentally. But it's not all doom and gloom. I'm here to simple tips and philosophies to help others feel empowered to live well again.
