Everything Changes Once You’ve Held a Brain
In 2013, I did something super weird. I spent $2000 to spend a week with a brilliant teacher in a room full of cadavers. At the time, this was the most expensive training (outside of college) I had taken. And unlike college or yoga training, there was absolutely no...

Accidents Happen – Are You Prepared?
