Ahoy from Costa Rica! … or maybe I should say HOLA! I touched down at Liberia International Airport on Friday for a full-immersion Animal Flow Training Experience in Nosara, Costa Rica! (aka The Animal Flow Mentorship) I am joined by the founder of Animal Flow, Mike Fitch, a crew of Master Instructors, and a numberContinue reading “Bravery feels reckless”

Do you stand up in the wind?
In a recent interview, I was asked “what’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?” I had to chew on this for a minute… but as I began thinking about it, I realized that the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me is to relentlessly ask me WHY. …And then allow meContinue reading “Do you stand up in the wind?”
Today marks my 100th…
This is NOT the start of a challenge. This is NOT a message from me telling you what you “should be doing”. This is simply an invitation to you. And I’d like to provide what I think to be a very pertinent interjection that I have never, and will never, put forth a Weekly FocusContinue reading “Today marks my 100th…”
THIS is your biggest liability
In the growth, investment and current standings of your life, are you an asset or a liability? I know that in at least a few previous Weekly Focus blogs I’ve referenced the “traps of the modern world”. The unempowered state of mind is one of them. Much of the messaging that surrounds us lures youContinue reading “THIS is your biggest liability”
Lessons from a lion
Why is it that as we age we are less likely to try new things? There seems to be an actual turning point to which our risk tolerance, spontaneity and ability to break existing habits begins to decline. And maybe I ought to reframe my first question because I don’t truly believe it’s an “age-thing”.Continue reading “Lessons from a lion”
Suspend your disbelief
This week’s focus begins with a few questions… What would happen if you sidelined your ego? What would happen if you silenced your doubts? What would happen if you got out from under the expectations that you THINK others have of you? What would happen if you were to suspend your disbelief and consider aContinue reading “Suspend your disbelief”
Return to play
This week’s focus is an extension of last week’s focus – the opposite of play is NOT work … it’s depression. As I’ve continued to read Stuart Brown’s book, Play, I’ve continued to highlight, think, marinate, and hopefully implement and share a few takeaways so that others can do the same. The second half ofContinue reading “Return to play”
The opposite of play is NOT work
The opposite of play is NOT work … it’s depression. I’m currently reading a book called Play, written by medical doctor, researcher, psychiatrist and founder of the National Institute for Play, Stuart Brown. I had heard of this book years ago, but finally picked it up off the shelf after talking with multiple people whoContinue reading “The opposite of play is NOT work”
Increase your success in ACHIEVING your goals
What is your rate of success for achieving your goals? It’s safe to say that most of us do not suffer from an inability to come up with something that sounds good or think of something that “we ought to do”. Speaking personally, I have and have had ALL KINDS of ideas of things I’mContinue reading “Increase your success in ACHIEVING your goals”
The world is moved by your decision to move
I think that sometimes when we think of movement we picture exertion, sweat, kettlebells, standing on top of a peak in a muscle shirt … all great, but it almost puts movement in a box, and it puts it up on an inaccessible shelf. Movement doesn’t require a gym. It doesn’t require athletic clothing, aContinue reading “The world is moved by your decision to move”
