YouTube Audio Only on Apple This was an especially fun podcast for me. First, it was on SoulShift, a unique show that “offers a pause for reflection, self-connection, and meaningful change with weekly conversations exploring how lasting transformation happens at the intersection of neuroscience and soul work, functional nutrition and self-love, ancient traditions and modern … Read more
A couple weeks ago I joined Easton Gladney on his podcast, Value Squared that is directed at people in the digital world. We talked about Meal Making Transformation in the context of today’s work culture which, sadly, is pretty much antagonistic to healthy living.
