It's Time to Pivot

Seven years. That's how long my wife's family hadn't seen the kids. For our friends, it was nine. COVID and whatnot was part of the reason. Money the other. No more excuses. Too much time passed. We went. Six weeks overseas. You'd

I Almost Quit. Again. Instead I Built Something to Keep Moving Forward.

This blog was created only a couple of months ago. Like anything new, it takes time to build up. There are good days, and then there are days when the blog feels like shouting into an empty room. No comments. No shares. No real sign that anyone is reading. Just

Why It Feels Like You'll Never Get There (And Why That Feeling Is Actually a Good Sign)

For four years I chased excitement. Each new idea arrived with a certainty that this was the one. The one that would finally work, finally move the needle, finally pull us out of the financial worry that had become the quiet background noise of our life. I would dive in,

Grizzly Bears and Getting Kids to Sleep (and Wake) at the Right Time

No-one likes being a grizzly bear to their child. It is embarrassing as a parent, and somewhat startling for the child. I would prefer not to admit to this, but truth be told, it has happened to me. My daughter has this ability to find the button on me and

Losing My Routine In Argentina (And Why It’s Not The End Of The World - Even Though It Kind Of Is)

What happens when everything that keeps you on track disappears at once. I am writing this from Ushuaia. It is the southernmost city in the world, and right now it feels like the end of the world in more ways than one. This is our town. Silvina and I have

At 58, I Am Fitter Than My Daughter

Today I discovered that I have more stamina than my 13 year old daughter. I went for a walk with my daughter, and encouraged her to slow jog with me. I found it very easy to hold this slow jog but quickly had to stop with her after only 500

Sugar: Why Your Body Treats It Differently to Everything Else You Eat

I used to eat a kilogram of ice cream in a sitting. A litre of Coca-Cola and a kilogram of chocolate to stay awake through late nights. I'm not exaggerating. This was just life, and I didn't think much about it because I was active, I

Identity: The Hidden Force Behind Every Health Decision You Make

You can know exactly what to eat, when to sleep, how to move, and which supplements are worth taking. You can have read all the books, listened to all the podcasts, and understood the science. And still do none of it. If you've ever wondered why that happens,

Movement: Why Walking Isn't Enough (But It's Still Worth Doing)

Let me say something that might sound contradictory coming from someone who spent years commuting by bicycle and hiking across mountain ranges. For most of my adult life I was active but not well-moved. There's a difference, and understanding it has changed how I think about exercise entirely.

The Morning Routine That Sets Up Your Whole Day (Including That Night's Sleep)

Most people think of a morning routine as something productive people do to get ahead. Wake up early, hustle, tick boxes before the world wakes up. That's not what this is about. What I want to talk about is something more fundamental. The way you start your morning

Sleep: The Thing You're Probably Getting Wrong Even If You Think You're Getting It Right

I used to be proud of burning the midnight oil. There was something satisfying about being the last one awake, getting things done while the world was quiet. I'd push late into the night and then try to catch up in the morning. Sometimes it worked. Most times

The Truth About MLM Companies: What They Are, Why Most People Don't Make Money, and How to Think About Them Honestly

If someone you know mentions they've joined a network marketing company, there's a good chance your first reaction wasn't enthusiasm. MLM has a reputation problem, and a lot of that reputation is earned. There are real stories of people losing money, straining friendships, and

What Is Nrf2 and Why Should You Care About It?

Most of us were taught a simple version of how antioxidants work. Free radicals are bad. Antioxidants neutralise them. Eat more blueberries, take more vitamin C, drink green tea, and you'll be fine. The reality is considerably more interesting than that, and understanding it properly changes how you

LifeVantage: An Honest Review From Someone Who Uses the Products and Tried the Business

I've been with LifeVantage for almost two years now. I use their products every day, I'm a distributor, and I've had both good and disappointing experiences with the company. This post is my honest attempt to give you a clear picture of what LifeVantage

The One Change That Gave Me My Energy Back

I want to tell you about the day I stood in my kitchen and lined up a small pile of pills on the bench. A little yellow one. Four creamy-coloured capsules with transparent outers. All natural. No prescription. Nothing dramatic about the moment at all, just me, a glass of

From Wreck to Recovered: Why I'm Here and What I Want For You

For most of my life I looked healthy. I just didn't feel it. There's a photo of me somewhere — lycra, mud, a medal around my neck — taken after winning the C-Grade Mountain Biking championship in my state. Around the same period I was touring Tasmania by
