What if the start of a new month is the perfect time for new beginnings? In this episode, I talk about embracing the opportunities that come with a fresh start—like setting aside time each morning for quiet reflection or choosing one healthy habit to focus on for the month—making mindful choices for a healthier, more fulfilling life. From focusing on wellness instead of illness to embracing the power of renewal, we'll explore how small changes can make a big impact.

I also share my experience as an emcee at a recent women's event. I talk about my journey toward focusing on food as medicine, like incorporating more whole foods and reducing processed sugar, and how we can live with vitality rather than just managing disease. Let’s work together to make the world a brighter and sweeter place to live, starting with ourselves.
