Work-life balance—a phrase that we hear used all the time. It’s something that almost everyone I speak to seems to be struggling with. However, if we’re honest about this, we aren’t struggling with work-life balance because, for many people, the balance is nonexistent….

If there was ever a time to truly give yourself permission to be well, it is now. It is easy to get caught up in the chaos and panic of a global pandemic. The panic causes us to over-think everything, fills us with fear, and sends us into survival mode…

If you ask someone if they're feeling good, the answer you receive is surprisingly unreliable. Until very recently, "I'm good" or "I could be better" reflected a subjective of how the person feels. Now that it's no longer common to get a routine six-month checkup at the doctor's, many of us have no realistic evidence of how we're actually faring.

There’s a grieving stage that no one really warns you about. I’m in it now. I’m past the initial shock of it all and almost at the 2-year mark. Time does help when it comes to losing someone, but only to a certain extent. So much happens in those 2 years. You go through an extremely rough patch during the first few months…

Deepak Chopra and I led a live course in New York City called Corporate Wellbeing and the Soul of Leadership (now available online). We created this course because we felt like something was missing in the world of “wellness in business”.

And a few months before that she posted a picture of a Viper snake that she encountered when walking through the forest with a local.

I buckled over. Tears burst out of my face. Panic and a sharp pain in my chest took over as she continued to give me the details — knowing that she needed to say it all at once and avoid dragging out the process. As I cried hysterically in the midst of all of the people still waiting for their luggage, I tried to listen to what she was saying.

At the end of the day, when you lay your head down on your pillow... ask yourself "Was I a robot or a human today." The world needs the human in you.

New Yorkers can probably relate fairly easy to this because it's called "the rat race." But it's applicable to all of us. I'm referring to the automatic way that we usually live life. When things become so routine that you just keep doing what you're doing to the point where you aren't even conscious about it anymore.

We, humans, are the source for creating something new. We are the source for creating new systems, organizations, governments and a world that actually works for all people. And a world that can be so much more thrilling, unpredictable and abundant. We can make it all up... again

I was rushed to the emergency room. I went through the typical process that any cancer survivor can attest to - had several rounds of chemo, lost all of my hair, got blood transfusions, spinal taps etc.
