Announcing…The Permanent Remission Project! This gives me goosebumps. And I am so excited I can barely stand it! Here’s the deal– I have shifted my health coaching program (really a small pivot) to exclusively help people in remission from cancer rebuild their health after treatment, and it feels like a puzzle piece in the big […]

Happy Spring! With the arrival of Spring today, it seemed a good time to bring up to the front an old post from five years ago—Springtime, 2012.
