64 | Changing How You Look vs Changing How You Feel
April 09, 2019 07:00There is nothing (NOTH. ING.) wrong with changing how your body looks. But be honest with me— if I really pressed you to tell me WHY you are dead-set on changing how you look, would the answer be it’s because deep down, you want to change how you FEEL?

39 | The Problem with “Progress” That No One is Talking About
September 18, 2018 07:00For so many of us, "progress" elicits a vision of a linear journey. Like if you just keep showing up, putting in the work, and doing what you're supposed to, you'll arrive at your destination. We get told to stop competing with others and only compete with ourself, to look at how far we've come, and let that be our guiding light on Progress Road.
