How to Stay Sane (the Eat, Pray, Love Way)

How’s your mental health? If you’re like me and most of my friends, we are well aware that we live in crazy, challenging times, and we’ve had to learn to do our own “emotional management,” something that requires time and attention to self-care and self-compassion.

The Big Lie: All You Need Is Love

We all know the Beatles tune, All You Need Is Love, which has hypnotized generations to believe that when it comes to romance, love conquers all. If only. All You Need Is Love is right up there with the Disney films and fairytales that sold us on “with love comes happily ever after.” Wrong. If […]
