One of the hardest parts of parenting is telling your kids something they need to hear ā even when they donāt want to hear it. Of course, thereās always a right time, place, and tone for these conversations. That goes without saying. But even so, I think many of us (myself

Original claim: "How we live from age 36 to 46 has the biggest impact on our future health." Whenever I see statements like this, a few thoughts come to mind: 1.) Exact citation needed. 2.) Picking a precise 10-year window as the most important seems arbitrary at best. That

"I fell out of the habit" is something I hear a lot. But here's the truth: If you fell out, it was never truly a habit. Real habits stick, until life changes something big. Like one of the Big 3 questions: 1). What you do 2). Who you do it with 3). Where you do it When any
