A Side of Syrup Podcast - EP 001: How to Say Yes Less

It all started by judging a Baskin-Robbins Master Taster Contest.

That’s where I started learning where the rubber meets the road. And that even if 75 opportunities come your way, you don’t have to say yes to everything. Especially things that won’t serve you. Learn how to take control of your own decisions and path by empowering yourself to say yes less.

Summer Eating, Part 4

Welcome back for the last part of our four-week series on seasonal eating. What is more summer than two things - a salad filled with crisp, raw veggies or a smoothie? Fun fact: both are made better by adding spinach.

Summer Eating, Part 2

Welcome back for part two of four weeks of seasonal eating. Now that summer is in full swing and at least in California, the farmer's markets are booming.

Summer is here. Let's eat like it.

Strawberries are my oldest son's all-time favorite food. They are always in our fridge and always on the grocery list. I don’t hesitate at buying them (just not at Erewhon because I’d be broke) or giving them to him any time he asks. Why? Let’s break down how awesome strawberries are for you.

Meditate Anywhere

I know that you know about meditating. But there are a million reasons why traditional meditating doesn't work or doesn't stick. You need a quiet atmosphere, quiet thoughts, and enough time to zen out. It's just not realistic. And it doesn't fit into the day of really busy people.

Enter Meditate Anywhere. A place and a space where you can find that shut-down moment for your mind.
