Looking for a last-minute, meaningful gift that lasts beyond the holidays?
Give the gift of clarity, calm, and self-awareness.
The Emotionally Healthy You is now available as an Audible audiobook and eBook, designed to help high performers manage stress, build resilience, and lead with purpose.
As we close out 2025, it’s the perfect time to refocus on what really matters by building emotional strength that supports your goals, your relationships, and your peace of mind.
Here are 5 habits that help you lead with calm focus instead of chaos 👇
1️⃣ Audit your finances: See where your money reflected strategy… or stress.
2️⃣ Review your team wins: Gratitude fuels performance. Celebrate before you recalibrate.
3️⃣ Set 3 big goals: One financial, one operational, one personal. Focus beats frenzy.
4️⃣ Reflect on your leadership growth: The best metric? Who you became this year.
5️⃣ Simplify operations: Complexity kills clarity. Cut what does not serve your vision.
Remember, sustainable success begins with mindful leadership. Are you ready to lead into the new year with a new and refreshed mindset?

Year-end wellness budget left?
Instead of more gym memberships, invest your team’s emotional health.
Gallup’s latest data shows stress and worry at the workplace are still at record highs. Teams are exhausted, distracted, and often disconnected, and that impacts everything from productivity to culture.
The Emotional Healthy Company (EHC) program helps teams manage stress, communicate better, and lead with clarity. With expert coaching, ongoing support, and a clear roadmap, your team will build the emotional resilience needed to navigate change, collaborate more effectively, and grow stronger together.
If you care about your people as much as your profits, now’s the time.
A resilient team drives resilient business outcomes.

My free Mindset Mastery for Entrepreneurs webinar was so well-received that I decided to bring it back for one more round before the year ends! So, if you missed it, here’s your chance to jump in.
I know it's easy to get caught up in numbers, deadlines, and to-do lists. But if you want lasting success, you need to take control over your thoughts and beliefs that drive how you lead, decide, and show up. So join me and other entrepreneurs like you on:
Are you ready to finish the year clear-minded, grounded, and ready to handle what’s next? If you joined last time, come again! You'll gain a new perspective and a few powerful mindset shifts to carry into 2025.
I just read Gallup’s State of the World’s Emotional Health 2025 report. It concerns me. But there is something each of us can do to improve our emotional health (I'll get to this).
The report painted a sobering picture: nearly 4 in 10 adults worldwide felt worried or stressed on any given day, the highest levels in over a decade.
The world is emotionally frayed. Worry, sadness, and stress are shaping how people show up at work, lead, and connect, and this strain doesn't disappear when the holidays arrive. In fact, it often intensifies.
For entrepreneurs and business leaders, this season can magnify both opportunity and overwhelm. You're expected to close the year strong, care for your people, and stay optimistic in a world that feels…well, tired.
The good news is that even amid global uncertainty, Gallup found that positive emotions like laughter and respect remain remarkably steady! That means resilience is still alive, but it’s just waiting for us to make space for it.
So let's pause. Take stock of your emotional health the same way you check your financial health or business metrics.
Sustainable leadership doesn't happen when you push through your stress. Being an emotionally healthy and intentional leader helps you build cultures of trust and allows you to show up with focus.

As the year winds down, a lot of entrepreneurs tell me the same thing:
“I'll take care of myself after the holidays… once things calm down.”
But guess what? Things rarely calm down. And waiting only keeps you stuck in the same cycles of stress and overwhelm.
If you want next year to be different, the time to act is now!
That’s why I created Emotional Edge for Entrepreneurs . E3 is a space where business owners come together every week to:
✨ Build resilience and prevent burnout
✨ Get support from people who understand the pressure you're under
✨ Finally create the balance and clarity you've been craving
Don't carry the same stress into another year. Give yourself the gift of support and take action before the calendar turns.
It’s that time of year again… when we're all thinking about gifts. 🎁
Here’s my question for you: what if this year you gave something that lasts longer than a gadget or a gift card?
Give the gift of unshakeable emotional health in the workplace and beyond.
My book, The Emotionally Healthy You: How to Own Your Past and LOVE Your Future, is now available in Kindle, audiobook, paperback, and hardcover. It’s an empowering resource to breaking free from burnout, quieting the inner critic, and building resilience for life.
This holiday season, give the kind of gift that makes a real difference.
On the outside, many executives of scaling companies look like they have it all together. Inside, though, it can feel very different. The constant pressure, a racing mind that won't shut off, and the fear that if you slow down, everything will fall apart.
That’s where Emotional Health Mastery™ for Executives comes in.
One-to-one coaching with me gives you:
✅ Customized emotional health strategies
✅ Support and accountability between sessions
✅ Tools to prevent burnout and strengthen relationships
✅ Space to finally feel balanced, even at the top
If you’ve ever thought, “I should be enjoying life more than this,” it may be time to go beyond a business coach.
“Once we realize that every thought pattern, every behavior, and every way that we react to somebody else’s words have been filtered through our belief systems, that’s when we can begin the work of changing them.”
This is one of the core ideas from my book, The Emotionally Healthy You: How to Own Your Past and LOVE Your Future.
🎁 Gift it to yourself.
🎁 Gift it to your employees.
🎁 Gift it to the entrepreneur or growth seeker in your life.
Because the greatest gift you can give anyone, in the workplace and beyond, is unshakeable emotional health!

One of my favorite things is connecting with groups, whether at conferences, team trainings, or virtual events, and giving people the tools to take control of their emotional health.
When audiences walk away not only inspired but also equipped with actionable tools and real-world solutions they can apply right away… that’s the magic.
Every talk is customized to your event or theme, so your audience gets exactly what they need in that moment.
Here's a sneak peak into part of my new audiobook, The Emotionally Healthy You, where I talk about boundaries.
Want a better life? Start by defining what you will and won't accept, no matter what. Then, build flexible structures inside those boundaries to live into your best self.

What is the common element that keeps someone from being unable to take action on a healthy lifestyle, execute on a business they’re passionate about, or find the right romantic partner? It’s that thing that makes you feel stuck, and your ambition and hard work doesn’t seem to make a difference. It subtly and quietly makes you feel unworthy, incapable, and powerless.
On the surface, I had a successful higher education and start to my career. After I graduated from Cornell University, I spent nearly 8 years working at Goldman Sachs where I had a successful career. By my late 20’s, I was able to pay off my undergraduate student loans, help my family out of credit card debt, and support causes I believed in. All while being a single man in New York. Sounds good right? Wrong.
Beneath the surface, I spent the majority of my life batting deeply held self-criticism. I was severely overweight and headed down the path of heart disease and diabetes. I avoided leaving my apartment on the weekends out of shame of being seen. And a relationship? Forget about it. I hated the man in the mirror.
Then I changed.
I lost 100 pounds.
I changed careers, enrolled in a four year medical college, and became a naturopathic physician.
I found and married the love of my life.
I conquered self-criticism.
I believe mastering our everyday mental health is the key to achieving our goals for our physical health, our profession, and our relationship in a fulfilling manner. It starts and ends in the mind, yet we don’t talk enough about everyday mental health. I’m out to change that.
I help my patients and clients:
- Rewire their default thought and belief patterns as it relates to their self-image
- Build true confidence and momentum in life
- Sustainably lose weight while preventing or sometimes reversing conditions like type 2 diabetes and hypertension
- Establish the basis for longevity and graceful aging
Ultimately, I help people believe in themselves, even if nobody ever has.
