After years of experience, you can trust me when I say that taking a focused, slow, and steady approach to healing is way more effective than a rigorous all-or-nothing one. In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite topics – micro habits, or as I like to call it, "Turtle Power!" I explain how small, consistent actions can lead to big, sustainable results without the overwhelm.

Today, you'll hear my practical and manageable strategies for mindful eating, drinking, thinking, resting, and renewing that will truly transform your life. Whether it's drinking a bit more water, adding more veggies to your plate, or taking a few calming breaths, these tiny steps will lead you straight down the path to thriving!
