July 24h, 2024 Happy Humpish Day:) I've recently taken a couple of personality tests.

In behavioral health change theory, a consistent recommendation is to start with the identity and values you want to embody before making any changes.

June 12th, 2024 Happy Hump Day:) I've been immersing myself in the story and work of the CL Thomas Fellowship. Why do I write this newsletter? What is the purpose of the podcast? How can we grow?
