My Top Reads of 2025
The Healthy Me Reset
I'm a total book nerd. And I'm also a bit of a book snob. They have to be well-written to entertain me and well-researched with something new to say to help me grow. If that's your story, you are my kind of reader. And most of my listeners are. I get asked about what books I read or specific titles for reference more than any other question.

Whether it's grief, trauma, people-pleasing, or perfectionism, hiding mode is how many of us cope when life feels too big or we feel too small. But living in hiding keeps you from your truest physical, mental, and spiritual health....
