Today, we have the distinct honor to hear from someone whose purpose in life has been defined and shaped by serving others. Furhan Ahmad was born and raised in NYC, became an EMT right out of high school to then become a police officer, and finally a first-responder firefighter, where he continues to serve the city and kaleidoscope of people to this day. His character encourages me

It's incredibly tempting to settle for "good enough" in life. Let's be real, this might show up in our work performance, our relational practices, or in how we function in life. But I've got a friend on today who I know doesn't settle for less than the best. Whether it's in her relational world, how she shows up in her career, or how she shows up in life altogether, Tia Bowen is on

Romantic relationships are fraught with challenging dynamics to deal with ... 👀 or not. Even deciding you're ready to date is challenging, well it was for me at least. The question is, if you're not dealing with what is, if you can't call a thing a thing, and if you're not willing to work through the "hard" stuff with your person, then what's the point of partnership?

Today, I’m asking this question and many more of someone I believe to be in an expert in this field, among many others. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is an international juggernaut of an icon, yes.

I can't believe we've come to the end of the year! Before we all tuck away for a quick few weeks, I wanted to have my dear friend Natalie Martin (licensed therapist) back on to help me tackle a few things I know may be on people's minds around the Holidays. We're also divulging what Christmas song we think we are, the ones we think can go away, and giving each other grief in the me

What do you do when life starts to move you and your close friends in different directions? Marriages, hard life moments, moving away, little offenses built up over time … whatever it is that may be causing a disconnect, what do we do with it and how do we navigate forward— and in health?Today, I have my first repeat offender back on the show. Natalie Martin, one of my dearest

I’m so excited for you to get to know my pal, Kathryn Gallagher! She is one of the kindest and brightest people I’ve had the privilege to meet and I know you’ll find the same. Outside of being empathetic, genuine, hilarious, and talented beyond, she’s a deep well of wisdom and experience. Today she’s sharing some of her story and strength with us, and leaving us better an

Several things are incredibly astounding about my friend, Sami Udell, owner of WholeSam, a private chef agency serving major cities across the US. Firstly, she’s just not overwhelmed by a challenge. What’s that like?! Secondly, the way she built her own extremely successful, yet still burgeoning company, is nothing short of cool. Real character matters to her and how she does b
