Joyful Living

I'm sooo excited to share this incredible episode of the Joyful Living Podcast with you today! My good friend and health coach, Casey Sollock, joins us on the show to share how to experience greater joy in life and in your health with fun, simple, and practical strategies. Casey has been vital support in my recovery over the past year from adrenal fatigue and is continually inspiring me in so many other ways as well. One of the reasons why I love Casey so much is she takes such a soul-filled approach to life and health. Rather than daily exercise, she encourages "daily play." She also recommends "getting cozy with God" as being a fundamental practice for living lives filled with joy, purpose, and meaning.

I didn’t always see the value of sisterhood and for the past 5+ years of my business life I convinced myself I didn’t have time for much of it at all.
