Good morning Reader, Before you scroll any further, let’s pause for just a moment. Take a breath in… and a breath out. That’s it. You’ve already started. This month, I wanted to offer you simple gifts—something you can return to anytime you feel rushed, tense, or overwhelmed. It’s a breathing practice called box breathing, and I walk you through it in a short video (less than five minutes). Start with the Breath Box breathing is easy to follow. You imagine the shape of a box—four equal sides.
The inhale and the exhale are the same length. You choose the count. You choose the pace. Even one or two rounds can help your body settle and your mind refocus. Watch & Breathe With Me Rather than reading about it, I invite you to experience it. 🎁 Watch the short video here: You can listen, breathe along, or simply let it guide you back into your body. It’s a practice you can use:

These medications—originally developed for diabetes and metabolic health—are now part of mainstream culture....
Reader, One morning, the right ankle began to hurt. It wasn’t dramatic. It hadn’t been an issue for quite some time. And there was no clear explanation for why it suddenly decided to speak up.

And yet, there it was—a familiar signal radiating through the ankle, carrying a message that felt both subtle and insistent. The sensation wasn’t new.

Hello Reader, This week, I had the pleasure of teaching one of my live Move Smart, Feel Better signature webinars, where we explored something many of us live with every day — pain — and more importantly, how to understand it differently so it no longer runs the show.
