There's something magical about recharging outdoors with the people you love💚 Science backs this up! Research shows that spending time in nature lowers cortisol (our main stress hormone) by 21%, while social connection releases oxytocin—the "bonding hormone" that reduces anxiety and boosts emotional resilience.

But here's what we love most: When we combine both—nature + meaningful friendships—we create a powerful healing cocktail for our nervous system. Add a moment of gratitude to the mix, and studies suggest you'll experience even greater mood improvements and lasting peace.

So, this week, we recommend you invite a friend to join you outside. Take three deep breaths together. Share one thing you're grateful for. Laugh, walk, or just sit. These simple moments build real wellness. Reach out for ideas, we love to share!

What are YOU grateful for in nature right now? Tag someone you'd love to recharge with below.

I was inspired this morning by another life coach that I follow (Max Trombly), and he was talking about others in the industry (Chris Williamson, Andrew Huberman) also having a lot of these conversations, noticing how much people focus on introspection, yet fall short in the action portion of growth.

Therapy is important, however it isn't necessary to regurgitate and ruminate within your traumas and wounds, causing yourself more harm.

As Max states, "Nobody needs someone to be sitting there going, why do I feel this way? What they need is, alright, I'm here, I'm ready." "No one needs a man to tell you why they can't show up, they need a man that is ready to show up, period."

Wellness Coaching is all about action, discipline, behavior change, willingness to jump into success. The act of showing up and dipping your toes in the water.

I am dipping my toes into the water of being your Wellness Coach. Ready to dip yours in too?

I was blessed recently to be able to attend a 10-day no-speaking Vipassana Meditation Retreat in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. The experience includes no communication with others (other than limited and necessary speak with an instructor or student manager) in a shared experience, meditating close to 8 hours per day. The experience was profound and life-changing.

As someone who is a busy-body, who rarely stops to sit, it was challenging. As someone who is somewhat introverted and fairly intolerant to shallow and forced social chit chat, I found it a lovely break.

It reset my nervous system, I was trained to hone and strengthen the ability to control my mind. It gave me access to the ability to let things go far more easily, without anger, frustration, attachment, craving, clinging, and so many other things that were causing me strife and misery.

My friends can see the change. My son appreciates my increased calm and steadiness. I feel more capable at facing challenges and the ability to serve others in a more capable and compassionate way.

For anyone who may want to embark on this experience, it is free and available all over the world. For more information please check out this website and consider applying:
