What does it take to create a culture of wellness in our workplaces and our lives? And how do we overcome the 'yes, but' resistance when it comes to making better choices?

In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Elaine Pasqua, a speaker who has spent the last 30 years working with universities, corporations, and professional sports teams on wellness, resilience, and responsible decision-making. We dive into how to make smart wellness choices that stick, the power of self-reflection, and why small, intentional actions matter more than big, overwhelming goals.

Plus, we discuss the impact of social media addiction, dopamine, and why so many of us struggle with motivation—even when we know what we should be doing. Elaine shares actionable tips for building healthier habits, boosting workplace morale, and fostering a culture of care that benefits both individuals and organizations."
