“But the fact is, most human beings have never done the work to understand themselves, heal their past, or manage their own emotions. If they haven’t done that for themselves, they are incapable of doing that for you and showing up in a way that you deserve.” Mel Robbins By: Gabriela Yareliz Life would beContinue reading “Understanding”

Birthday Week
By: Gabriela Yareliz Esther Perel says something along the lines of— you either have different relationships with different people in life or different relationships with the same person. People’s lives shape up differently. In law school, I studied cases about co-adventurers— you know partners in a joint venture, so to speak. Today’s note is aContinue reading “Birthday Week”
This Matters
By: Gabriela Yareliz “You want a meaningful life? Everything you do, matters. Everything.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson When I read the quote above by JBP, I nodded. I have always seen life this way. Some people see it as overkill, but life just doesn’t work the way many assume it does. It surprises all ofContinue reading “This Matters”
The Window
By: Gabriela Yareliz I heard somewhere that the confessionals in The Office reflected where a person was going. I found this hidden message fascinating. Those who sat in front of the window that showed the inside of the office weren’t going anywhere far from Dunder Mifflin. They had no future outside of the paper company.Continue reading “The Window”
Slow
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Slow down.” I saw this phrase on a kombucha cap, a card somewhere, a song— this has been everywhere, lately. In a highly caffeinated world (where we run with cups of caffeine instead of sitting with them), we are reminded to slow down. When we slow down, we have more time toContinue reading “Slow”
Dare You To Move
By: Gabriela Yareliz They say you can tell a lot about a person based on the music they like. Here is a nugget about me— I loved Switchfoot after they were heavily featured in A Walk To Remember, so it has been about 23 years of loving their music. No song of theirs hits asContinue reading “Dare You To Move”
Unreasonable
By: Gabriela Yareliz Is the world run by sex-addicts, adulterers, and pedophiles? As time passes, it really does feel like it. **Cue song “I Need a Hero”** Even our most revered historical figures have some insane histories. The MLK Jr. files revealed what was often rumored about the minister and civil rights activist. It wasn’tContinue reading “Unreasonable”
Crane Chemistry
“The clearest sign of intellectual chemistry isn’t agreeing with someone. It’s enjoying your disagreements with them. (…) Creative tension makes beautiful music.” Adam Grant By: Gabriela Yareliz One of the things that makes Frasier such an amazing show are the arguments between the Crane brothers, Frasier and Niles. The writers always nail it. They haveContinue reading “Crane Chemistry”
Sleep Is King
By: Gabriela Yareliz “There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.” Homer, The Odyssey I listen to a lot of health experts. The most recent one I listened to was Gary Brecka. His TSC Podcast episode was excellent. He mentioned that when a client comes to him, the firstContinue reading “Sleep Is King”
Fundamentals
By: Gabriela Yareliz The little girl from Uptown Girls, Ray, would always say, “Fundamentals are the building blocks of fun.” Whether it is health, policy, work, leadership— it seems like we always complicate things, when in reality, what seems to be needed is a return to the basics, the foundations, what used to be seenContinue reading “Fundamentals”
