Our Two Fundamental Needs: Stability & Adventure Every person carries a push-pull between wanting the comfort of routine and the thrill of something new. In wellness, as in life, both needs matter. Robbins’ model names them “Certainty” (the need for predictability and safety) and “Uncertainty” (the hunger for variety, challenge, novelty). How Certainty Shows Up
TImagine: What If Your Life Is Already “Full”? Ever feel like your days are jam-packed—but you’re still not moving toward what you want? If you’ve ever set a passionate goal (get pain-free, run a 10K, reclaim your spine, eat better, enjoy mornings again!) but find yourself spinning, you’re not alone. Here’s the truth:Most people aren’t
Spring is a season of renewal. After the quiet, reflective months of winter—and in my case, many days of skiing in Santa Fe’s mountains—it’s bittersweet to watch snow melt… but thrilling to feel the trails open up, the days lengthen, and the air warm. It’s also a metaphor-rich time of year. Everything in nature seems
Spring is a special season. Days grow longer, sunlight grows steadier, and temperatures invite us to step outside more often. In the natural world, growth accelerates because there’s an abundance of energy—plants soak in sunlight, animals become more active, and the whole environment feels like it’s humming. That same natural rhythm is available to you,

This truth applies across every dimension of life—whether you’re working to correct a postural issue, build lifelong mobility, improve athletic performance, get out of chronic pain,
Some days spin out of control before you’ve even finished your morning coffee. True for you too? You start with the best intentions—fitness class on the calendar, a fridge full of veggies, a commitment to make time for your body and mind. Then life barges in: work deadlines, family stuff, traffic, unexpected tasks. Suddenly, the
I believe in dreams.And here’s the thing—they’re not just about the dreaming. They’re about the doing. If you’ve carried a big, unaccomplished dream around for years—maybe even decades—what’s really been holding you back? Is it time? Confidence? Fear? Not knowing where to start? The truth is, the gap between where you are now and living that dream
Have you ever noticed that the moment you make a positive change, there’s always someone ready to rain on your parade? Sometimes, it can feel like everything you do comes with a side of unsolicited criticism. And while part of that might just be human nature—including our tendency toward skepticism—it’s also a trap you can choose to
Growing up, most of us were told to value generosity, to put others first, to give freely. And for good reason kindness, empathy, and thoughtfulness shape healthy families and strong communities. But what about the lesson no one really taught us: that investing in yourself isn’t selfish? In fact, it’s a requirement for a healthy, meaningful, and
Wow didn’t it feel like the holidays were just here? Suddenly, the calendar says March, spring is arriving, and the pace of life doesn’t seem to be slowing down. If time often feels like it’s slipping through your fingers, you’re not alone. Between work deadlines, family responsibilities, and the constant pull of notifications and to-dos, it’s easy
