It’s been 20 years… 20 years since my last bad day, 20 years since my life changed for the better, despite the circumstances that generated the change. It’s been a tough but wonderful journey, and the new chapters that await are as inspiring and as important as the road I traveled so far... So I invite you all to join me on this new venture towards recovery, where we can learn together how to shift our emotional strength and align our mind, body, and soul in order to gain adaptaversagility- that wonderful $5 word coined by one of our Peloton members, Bobby Kountz, that represents a combination of adaptability, agility, and versatility- the ingredients we need to win over our fear of change.Remember to Pause-Breathe-Reflect, adapt and accept the journey… Until next time, have fun storming the castle!If this episode sparked something within you, please download it and share it with a friend. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, silver, or lacquer, highlighting the cracks rather than hiding them. It embodies the philosophy of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection and teaches that breakage and repair are part of an object’s history, making it more valuable rather than less.

I'm also an executive coach, speaker, and meditation teacher, and I help people prevent a bad moment from turning into a bad day and help them heal, grow, and develop more resilience. I'm not a doctor or therapist. But I have been through the “ringer,” as they say. I was involved in a cycling accident, and my trauma team doesn’t know how I survived. Along the way, I’ve tried it all to heal and in my podcast, I share what I’ve learned in hopes that something might help you. Plus, I want to create a connection with you so you’re not alone in your journey. You’ve got this!If you feel you need more mental health support, please contact NAMI. This is a good place to start.
