#WorkInProgress


We are not experts….AT ALL. We in no way have life figured out, whatsoever. In fact, in our many attempts to get our overall health, wellness, and personal lives together, we have produced some pretty epic fails (worth sharing). But that’s what makes us human, just like you. So join us as we mix our humor and realism, share our stories, give others a voice, and bring in REAL experts to help us sort it all out.

Have you ever asked yourself, "How am I doing in life"? If you're like us, you've probably wondered this a million times. You may get to work in the morning, take care of your kids or spouse, but where are YOU in all of this? In the first episode of #WorkInProgress we decided to assess ourselves…the good, the bad, and the ugly. Join us as we talk to Lekie Dwanyen, MS, to understand what is the state of the state? What needs to change? What stays the same? And what does that mean?
