Mindset and wellness

Wellness & Health
Let’s talk about health and wellness

Happy Sacred Sunday!

I went to the gym with my best friend the other day and the class was packed. It caught my attention because the classes are usually pretty empty at our gym. Then I remembered it’s January and it all made sense.

You gotta give it to January, man. Nothing gets the masses going like the first month of the calendar year. 😂

But there’s one thing January can’t do for any of us, and that is sustain our momentum.

Wellness requires more than a kickstart or a New Year’s resolution. The only path to true health and fitness is to make it a lifelong pursuit.

That’s why in today’s episode, I share three principles that will help you create wellness that lasts:

✨ The compound effect and how to implement it in all your choices. 

✨ Habit stacking and how starting small is actually the boldest move.

✨ Spotting the sneaky ways we compensate and hold ourselves back from thriving.

These aren’t just theories — I learned them the hard way. 

I grew up in a family that has faced obesity, addiction, and multiple health challenges ranging from high blood pressure to cancer. For a long time, I truly thought my fate was inevitable because I had shitty genetics. But in 2011, my father’s cancer diagnosis led me to doctors who offered me a different perspective.

This isn’t about fate or genetics, they explained. It’s about lifestyle and choices.

I have spent the last fourteen and a half years implementing these principles. The journey hasn’t been perfect or linear. I still catch myself falling out of alignment, compensating, and discovering new habits that are important to adopt.

But there is one thing I know deep in my bones: I am playing an infinite game.

There is no finish line. Only new sacred heights to pursue.

So on this sacred sunday, I ask you:

Are you willing to play the infinite game with me?

If so, these principles are going to serve you deeply. Let’s allow January to be a steady companion rather than the bearer of unmet goals.

Tune in and let me know which of the three principles struck the biggest chord for you. That’s where we start making adjustments.

Wishing you a healthy and happy long weekend,

This is one of my favorite traditions I’ve built

Happy Sacred Sunday!

In 2019 I created a celebratory ritual, which became an annual tradition, which forever changed the way my family begins a new year.

I called it School Year’s Eve.


I didn’t quite realize it at the time, but that was the beginning of my Live with Intention framework.

And let me tell you… it was a gamechanger.

I remember one year, one of my younger boys said he wanted to set the intention of “having a best friend like my older brother does.”

His brother had a best friend who had become like family, and his little heart longed for that kind of connection.

We didn’t know that my son had this desire. But when he put the pen to paper, it came pouring out.

We didn’t try to make the school year about getting better grades or achievements. We let his heart choose what mattered most.

Fast forward to the next School Year’s Eve … he didn’t make a best friend … he found a whole group of them!

His relationships flourished that year. He found his people.

And what’s fascinating is that it was the same group as the year prior!

Nothing changed but for him noticing what he desired, naming it, and nurturing it intentionally.

✨This week on the podcast, I’m sharing all the details about School Year’s Eve so you can adopt this powerful tradition in your own family — or pass it along to families with school-aged children.

And tomorrow, we kick off the Bliss’n Up Hub, a 6 month container designed to help YOU live with intention in your own life.

I’ve learned that the best way to influence others is to become the role model first.

Be the one who leads the way — not because of what you say, but rather because of what you do, and who you are.

Let’s create rituals.
Let’s live with rhythm.
Let’s set intentions and transform our mindset, wellness, and relationships,  together.

This is the work.

And it’s such important work.

I can’t wait to anchor into August with you.

Sending you so much love,


Bliss’n Up Podcast

P.S.  I’m jumping LIVE on zoom today at 12pm and 5pm to answer questions about the hub. if you want to join in, reply to this email and I’ll send you the zoom link.
