Leadership calls for more than checklists and performance reviews. It calls for presence. Clarity. Confidence.

“What is perfectionism costing you?” — The Emotionally Healthy You
Perfectionism might look like high standards, but underneath? It’s often fear in disguise. Fear of failure. Fear of not being enough. Fear of being seen.
And it’s exhausting.
In leadership, perfectionism can cost you clarity, creativity, connection and your well-being.
👉Ask yourself:
What if being an emotionally healthy leader means being present, not perfect?
Let go to grow! 🪴

Your thoughts shape your life!
“Best book on understanding how you think and process life... then helping you change your thought processes to overcome the barriers holding you back from your true potential.”
That’s the heart of The Emotionally Healthy You.
It’s not about fixing who you are. It’s about understanding how you think, how you respond, and how you grow on purpose.
When you shift your thought patterns, you open the door to clarity, confidence, and lasting change.
This book resonates with people who are ready to do the inner work and lead from a healthier, stronger place - at home, at work, and within themselves.
👉What would be possible if your thoughts supported your growth, instead of holding it back?

When emotional health becomes company culture, everything changes.
Strong leadership begins with emotional clarity and when that clarity becomes part of your culture, the impact reaches every corner of your business.
✅ Communication becomes more open
✅ Teams work with greater trust
✅ Productivity flows with purpose
✅ People feel valued, supported, and motivated
Emotional health creates the foundation for meaningful growth, strong relationships, and lasting success.
What would shift in your business if emotional health was the standard, not just the support?
Start with one conversation. One choice. One moment of clarity.
That’s where culture begins.

Ready for a mindset shift that actually feels good?
“Lower your expectations and raise your standards. That’s the framework for joy.” — The Emotionally Healthy You
Expectations often set us up for frustration. Standards, on the other hand, empower us. They help us decide how we lead, love, and live with clarity and confidence.
This summer, what if joy wasn’t something you chased, but something you created?
Start by adjusting the lens you're using.
👉 What’s one standard you're ready to raise today?

Some of the most powerful growth I see happens when people stop doing the work and start leading the business.
These are the owner/operators—like home builders—who built their companies with their own two hands. And now, they're ready to step above the day-to-day to lead with vision, clarity, and emotional strength.
They're not just managing projects. They’re shaping culture.
They're not just tracking profits. They're building something that lasts.
That’s where The Emotionally Healthy You comes in.
It’s designed for leaders in this exact moment—ready to grow the business by first growing themselves.
According to a Gallup poll, managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement. And when employees are disengaged, their health often suffers—emotionally, mentally, and physically.
When leaders prioritize emotional health, the ripple effects are real:
✅ Less burnout
✅ Higher productivity
✅ Better retention
✅ Stronger team morale
This isn't just about performance. It’s about people.
And the culture you create starts with how you lead.
Looking for a summer read that does more than just pass the time?
The Emotionally Healthy You Workbook is your personal guide to intentional growth. It's designed to take you deeper and offers practical questions, space to reflect, and clarity to lead with strength and self-awareness.
Use it at the beach, on a plane, or during your morning quiet time. Growth doesn't have to wait until fall.
It might be time to check the difference between your expectations and your standards.
“Expectations drive how you feel in response to a situation and are usually beyond your control. Standards dictate what you will and will not tolerate going forward, and they are within your control.” — The Emotionally Healthy You
This summer, don't just react. Lead.
Set the standard for how you show up, how you respond, and what you allow in your space.
👉 What standard are you ready to raise in your leadership?

Thank you so much, EFam. What a powerful way to put it "you don't “fix” a wilting houseplant". That’s exactly the heart of The Emotionally Healthy You. It’s not about fixing, it’s about nurturing. The book was written to help people grow with intention, develop emotional strength, and become the version of themselves they want to be, not who they've been told they should be.

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.
