Reading...

I’m obsessed with being healthy and aging well. One of the books I recently read was Smarter Not Harder by Dave Asprey. You might know him from the Bulletproof diet and the Bulletproof coffee with butter and oil. I’ve been following him on and off for a while.

Basically, I take what resonates with me for my health, and leave behind what doesn’t. My biggest takeaways from this book were the supplements. Look, there is so much information out there, and a lot of it is contradictory. It’s hard to decipher what’s best for you. 

What I encourage you to do is to learn as much as you can and experiment to see what works for your body. My body has changed over the years. What worked for me 20 years ago is no longer working now. It’s frustrating and that’s why I’m on this mission to level up my knowledge in this area. I'm happy to pass some of those resources along to you. 

Please, just take care of your health and your body so that you can live a long, healthy life. Here's the link to purchase the book on Amazon.

Writing...

I had the honor and privilege of contributing an article to Diversity in Ed Magazine. As someone who has been coaching in the Diversity and Inclusion space for a couple of years, watching more and more identities represented in the mainstream media and in real life has been heartening. 

However, there is a movement in political policies and practices that still have an undercurrent of racist ideologies driving those diversity initiatives out. Those who benefit from privilege are just not motivated to keep driving these initiatives forward, and those who never liked them are getting louder.

We, as individuals, need to take personal responsibility for how we communicate and integrate inclusivity in our communities. Read the article HERE.

The Beautiful Game - Netflix

Speaking of Diversity and Inclusion, my husband and I came across this beautiful story of The Homeless World Cup. Basically, countries from all over the world put together soccer teams made up entirely of people who were homeless due to various struggles in their lives. They learn sportsmanship, team play, and other life skills that bring them together to play in a World Cup tournament in Rome, Italy. It’s based on a true story and it’s just a feel-good story all around. I think you’ll enjoy it. Here's the link to watch the movie on Netflix.
