    Episode 112 | School is No Place for Learning

    This one has captured my thought-life for some time now, and most earnestly as I continue to interface with the challenges of kids in school.My memories of being home-schooled were delightful and rich with experiences - and upon entering school in 3rd grade, I didn’t feel like I had missed out on anything. In fact, I felt out of sorts, in my own favor.Reflecting on both past, present and future, the benefit of hindsight is impacting solutions for what is to come. The experience of real real learning is no longer monopolized by the local parochial school.In this episode, I share deep reflections on how traditional schooling often stifles genuine learning and human growth, advocating for a renewed emphasis on self-education, curiosity, and vitality.Key topics:* The distinction between passive and active literacy, emphasizing skills of rhetoric and self-expression* How the six functions of modern education (adaptation, conformity, differentiation, etc.) serve social engineering rather than fostering true intelligence* The importance of unlearning societal conditioning and cultivating curiosity beyond memorization* The role of logical fallacies and scientific myths in shaping our perception of truthTimestamps:* 00:00 - Introduction: Rethinking what education truly is* 07:00 - Language, power, and the shaping of reality* 09:00 - The decline of literacy and critical thinking* 12:00 - From passive to active literacy: self-expression as a vital skill* 15:00 - The six functions of education and their societal roles* 26:00 - The importance of self-guided learning post-formal education* 31:00 - Environmental factors in classrooms and physical development* 40:00 - The reliance on logical fallacies and scientific dogmas* 50:00 - Cultivating vitality, resilience, and personal sovereignty* 54:00 - Practical solutions for parents and learners* 57:00 - Closing thoughts: embracing curiosity and self-educationResources & Links:* My Substack Article - ‘School is No Place for Learning’* John Taylor Gatto’s Work & Interviews* Logical Fallacies Resources* Ayn Rand’s Atlas ShruggedREMEMBER: Support what you love or it goes away ...Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery!

    Athletic Alchemy Part 2 with Matthew Michael Koman | EP 111

    Most athletes overlook a crucial secret: true power and response start from the center — specifically, the spine and mind.In this dynamic conversation, my good man Matthew Michael Koman circles back to share from his well of experience. From the jump, we explored how reconnecting with your core — physically, mentally, and energetically — can transform your reaction time, resilience, and overall performance. You’ll discover why a simple pause before action can lead to more grounded responses, and how the relationship between mind and body creates a vortex of potential once aligned. One vital takeaway that came up: Failing to harness the inner alchemy of slowing down keeps us reactive, drained, and disconnected from our true potential. Embracing a centered approach unlocks faster reflexes, deeper resilience, and a clearer path to mastery in any arena.Whether you're an athlete, coach, or just awakening to your inner power, this episode is a blueprint for shifting from chaos to clarity through embodied awareness. It’s not just about the physical — it’s about rewiring your response at the source, giving you the tools to meet life’s punches with calm confidence. Matthew Michael Koman is a high-performance holistic coach and paradigm-shifting leader of men. His work touching athletic and spiritual edges shines through, and makes this a must-listen for anyone on the road to Mastery.REMEMBER: Support what you love or it goes away ... Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery!

    I am so thankful for Dave Anderson's generosity of time and energy, as he consistently circulates his depth of experience for the benefit of novices like me...In this engaging conversation, Coach Dave and I started by exploring the intricate relationship between health and performance, focusing on the importance of foot health, vision, and proper technique. As we dug in, the discussion turned to the challenges faced by junior players, the role of parents in their development, and the onboarding process for new coaches. The conversation also touches on the evolution of tennis culture and the inspiring journey of Ashlyn Krueger, a promising young player. Dave has been in her corner since she was eight-years-old, and the story of her goals is inspiring, to say the least.Dave is an old-school coach, and I mean that with the utmost respect. He has standards and principles which govern his approach, and remains adaptable to the needs of the student in front of him.His versatility is rooted in his hunger to learn over his lifetime, and that is the most admirable trait in anyone in this space.I am certain you will enjoy this conversation with Coach Dave, and will also appreciate Tennis Show #11, my first interview with Coach in February 2025.  REMEMBER: Support what you love or it goes away ... Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery!

    Episode 106 | Movies for the Modern Man

    In this episode, I’m exploring the themes of masculinity and male initiation through the lens of classic films...It dawned on me recently that we are suffering from a lack of quality movies that portray stories we can all relate to from a meaning-standpoint, not necessarily plot. Men in particular are given nothing but egomaniacal or weak or violent displays of “masculinity” that reflect to them in an inordinate exemplar of acting as a Man.For that reason, my thirst for better story-telling led me to a string of excellent films...In movies such as ‘The Man from Snowy River’, ‘Dead Poets Society’, ‘Newsies’ and ‘Legends of the Fall’, a host of motifs play out that reflect the journey of men in society, the importance of legacy, and the role of community and brotherhood.The art of subtle storytelling also appears in stark contrast to what we’re used to, making this worth the while of any and all listeners to revisit these films for their timeless messages.REMEMBER: Support what you love or it goes away ...Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery!

    Episode 99 | Mirrors & Molds: Revitalizing Holy Days with Lara J. Day

    Do you observe holy days? Or do you ride the wave of holidays?I think we’ve all done both over the course of our lives: being mystified and excited by holidays, and then caught up in the sheer repetitive, mundane expectations of holiday commitments.Much of this has been manipulated by the monster of Commercialism, which has turned the nobler elements of certain celebrations into yet another occasion to buy, to consumer, to discard...Thankfully, Lara Day has embraced her mission as an advocate for more meaningful, truly sacred commemorations of Nature’s cycles.Lara’s 13 Sacred Nights have had a profound impact on my life, not least of all because it was one of my dalliances with an oracle deck. In this episode, I share two stories about my experiences that verified the veracity of their wisdom.We also discuss:* The history of holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving* Fertile ground for sacred practice* Synchronicities* Sacred vs. Profane* The origins of the 13 Holy Nights* and much more...Massive gratitude to Lara for sharing her insights and experiences. I’m happy to share her work HERE as a new call to action to reclaim the spiritual experience of our holy and historical days within the cycle of our Year.Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery!Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    Sharpen Your Words | EP 102

    The scariest part of this time of year is the oblivious hypocrisy ... and the day light "savings".When there is a movement of any kind, my Spidey Senses tingle with anticipation for the next wave of chaos, instigated by puppet masters and wizards.There is a missing element of choice in our collective story, because we are dissuaded from the abundance of choices we have, and are distracted with false binaries. Whether it's Kings or No Kings, we are missing the meaning of the message: our Sovereignty is not an externality for others to claim.In this episode, my candid thoughts takeover to dissect the recent protests, psy-ops and pleasantries that are seeding dissonance where there otherwise can be coherence.The choice is entirely ours. REMEMBER: Support what you love or it goes away ... Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery!

    Returning to report on the ways to flip the script on our limiting language...We have been confronted with the do-or-die, til-death-do-us-part, all-or-nothing binary banality of our culture... was it always this way? Will it ever be?I intend to rewrite our communication program with pattern interruptions that shift our conscious creations toward more growth, life, prosperity...A Hill to Grow On is a place where we take a stand - yes - and enrich the soil with our livelihood (a means of securing the necessities of life). When pushed up this hill by challenging circumstances, we then turn sh*t into something that supports life ... in one end, out another type of thing!This place is anywhere you choose to elevate your values to a real standing in your life - by caring, by deciding.These are the themes I explore here, and beyond...  Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    One Part Whole | EP 100

    100 episodes ... no small feat considering all the starts-and-stops along the wayYou would be surprised how easy it is to disregard any accomplishment, any achievement that we perceive to be a worthy goal. We have a reflex to simply say, "Yeah, I did it like I said ... now what?"So I am training a new muscle: one of celebration and acknowledgment to support continued growth, leading to even more occasions to celebrate and acknowledge the fruits of my creative labors of love.In this installment of the podcast, I reflect on the various corners of my interest-web, touching on several themes that revolve around bringing parts of the whole into unison, and recognizing the whole of which we are part.This is another launch point for all that is to come ... thank you for your attention and curiosity.We go...

    Mirrors & Molds: Revitalizing Holy Days with Lara J Day | EP 99

    Do you observe holy days? Or do you ride the wave of holidays?I think we've all done both over the course of our lives: being mystified and excited by holidays, and then caught up in the sheer repetitive, mundane expectations of holiday commitments.Much of this has been manipulated by the monster of Commercialism, which has turned the nobler elements of certain celebrations into yet another occasion to buy, to consumer, to discard...Thankfully, Lara Day has embraced her mission as an advocate for more meaningful, truly sacred commemorations of Nature's cycles.Lara's 13 Sacred Nights have had a profound impact on my life, not least of all because it was one of my dalliances with an oracle deck. In this episode, I share two stories about my experiences that verified the veracity of their wisdom.We also discuss: The history of holidays like Halloween and ThanksgivingFertile ground for sacred practiceSynchronicitiesSacred vs. ProfaneThe origins of the 13 Holy Nightsand much more...Massive gratitude to Lara for sharing her insights and experiences. I'm happy to share her work HERE as a new call to action to reclaim the spiritual experience of our holy and historical days within the cycle of our Year.  Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    Tom's Truth: Are You Looking or SEEING?

    "Are you watching closely?" This chilling phrase from the fantastic film The Prestige reminded me that even if our attention is fixated on the performance, we are liable to miss out on so much more...While our attention and awareness can seem limited, it is our discernment that is needed now in spades to win the games being played without our conscious consent.One such game is the Us vs. Them game that, at our core, no one wishes to participate in, because to win or lose means death.In today's episode, there's a feeling that balances the recent quantity of despair with the qualities of discernment, cultivated through physical and spiritual practices of Inner Vision.Tom's Tip: treat your Eyes to more sunlight, and use the outdoor time to train your eyes to see near, far, and wide...  Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    There's a shortlist of people these days with whom I can stoke the fire of a hot-topic conversation like Major tennis ... Emily is on that list.If you find yourself in a casual fling with tennis, or in a full-on love affair, there will be ample pieces for you to chew on throughout this conversation. Emily's dynamic ability to turn perspectives all the way around keeps the stale world of tennis media fresher than ever.I always appreciate someone who is willing and able to share their informed opinions on the overlap between sport and culture, which has a unique way of capturing attention and leaving a mark on the world for a spell ...

    'Your People Need You' with Topher Gardner | EP 95

    From my very first virtual impression of Topher Gardner, I deemed him to be a bonafide Renaissance Man.Now, after speaking with him at length, I think he would describe himself simply as a Man... A Man is not one thing, one energy: he is tasked with his own sculpting to create stability, respect and impact in his world. Through the adventures of 50 years in this incarnation, Topher has lived several lifetimes and channeled those experiences into his several passion pursuits of bodywork, Dome-construction, podcasting and more...In this connection, I found myself thoroughly enjoying some good ole-fashioned Ball Talk - just a couple of guys rapping about athletics, performance and competition, all through a slightly more elevated lens than if we were drinking Coors Lights on a Friday Night in Lansing. With that said, there is a depth to Topher's insights that has always enriched my sense of enjoyment whenever I listen to him speak, and this podcast is no different.And still - it feels as though we barely scratched the surface of the deep roots of Topher's story, so I readily expressed my intention for a follow-up conversation because - I believe - this listenership would reap a massive reward for having heard Topher's singular and alternative perspectives on the current culture, modernity, masculine-feminine energetics, and much much more...For now: I beseech you - nay, I implore you - to visit www.topherHQ.com and familiarize yourself with Topher's offerings, most notably this upcoming workshop in The Ozarks over Labor Day Weekend: https://beartariacampgrounds.com/dome/An extraordinary opportunity to learn the ins, outs and in-betweens of the merits of building Domes (you can see the one he's finishing now in the HCH Telegram)!This is an historic episode for me, not because of the number - because of the quality that this platform encourages me to circulate among any and all listeners.

    There is an overwhelming surfeit of options for where we invest our energies ... and yet, we have the amazing power of Choice to direct our currencies ONLY to the places and people we prefer.Preference is a valuable choice - but is it rooted in what is popular, trendy, or widely approved? Or is it organic, wholesome, and special to our experience?So, with convenience and coercion rampant, how can we curb our appetites to the simplest forms of pleasure...One basic principle is to SUPPORT WHAT YOU LOVE - NOT WHAT YOU HATE!Whether it's food, clothing, experiences, media ... less is more, and the whittling-down process to our genuine favorite things becomes even more worthwhile!Discernment is the hallmark practice to determine what is deserving of your love; Enthusiasm is how we engage to support the vitality of the good, true and beautiful...Enjoy these reflections at your Summertime leisure... plenty more gems to be shared from the Tom Foolery Treasure Chest!  Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    On Summer Vocations | EP 93

    I must admit: this installment of HCH is a bit of a rap, rant and riff ... such is my experience lately. This Summer has been the quintessential height of activity: sweating, striving and seeking more ways to connect with people and playing all the while. Still, there is no shortage of "happenings" in the World, and I often encounter the consternation on the faces around me that makes me think, "Am I missing out on something..." Taking a beat in this moment to feel the full cycle of work-rest-work-rest etc ...  For now, I feel contented by the combination of curiosity and experience that has produced some deep reflections, taken into my Places of Play. That's why I sat down for a casual chat with me, my Self and You all! To enhance your listening and informational experience, dig into the Weston A.

    Tennis Show #13 Re-Living the French Open Odyssey

    So much has yet to be said - and still to be written - about the EPIC showdown between the stunning superstar Carlos Alcaraz and his friendly foil, Jannik Sinner... As someone who has been both a fan and a student of the artistry of tennis, this match belongs among the annals of truly great battles. This episode had been brewing for some time since I took a night and morning to watch the Final... and as with all things that are out-of-time-and-space, it is a challenge to adequately articulate the meaning of this singular spectacle. I do my best to recapitulate the important moments and statistics of this good ole fashioned scrap that took place in Paris three hot weeks ago ... there were many over the course of almost six hours, and one crucial detail was this: NO ONE LEFT THE COURT THE WHOLE TIME! A throwback and a look-forward, a marriage of past and future, there were countless plot lines that mapped out a memorable landscape for this French Open Final. I trust you will enjoy my particular take, including some technical input, historical context, and persona profiling... all that you can expect on a regular basis for these Tennis Shows. Wimbledon next...   Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    EP 91 Upside Down and Back Again with Mark Gober

    When I saw that Mark Gober was slated to be a keynote presenter at Confluence this year, my excitement was stirred even more, because I knew he would be packing a punch... In his seamless style, Mark does more than simplify the biggest issues of our age: he re-models them, so you can hold in your hand an idea like the Cosmos, turn it around and see it from many different sides. That practice is not often available in the one-side-fits-all narratives we have been subjected to from time immemorial now... Thanks to Mark and his works, I have felt better equipped than ever to be confidently curious when I wonder about the nature of consciousness, government, medicine etc. The playbooks he has provided are invaluable resources in a time when - despite the unfathomable availability of "information" - we are called to determine for ourselves which stories are truly supportive of life. I am confident you will enjoy Mark's thoroughly insightful and encouraging approach to the Search for Knowledge that we all are embarking upon daily ... my gratitude for Mark was deeply impacted by this conversation. All of Mark's books, media appearances and resources can be found at his website.  Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    It is my distinct pleasure to introduce my World to the legend of Lauren Riddei... Lauren and I met over a popsicle freezer at Confluence, and from the jump, she had this lean-in persona that was contagious (in a good way). Just a few weeks on, we've had several dynamic conversations that supported our desire to share our mutually convergent stories... This truly is a story-telling show, and Lauren has a superb sense of her Heroine's Journey, excluding the ending, of course... In the meantime, Lauren's courageous commitment to building Healthy Homes and nourishing Healthy Humans is one of the most noble labors of love I have encountered. She is using her own pain to support a purpose that goes beyond her own recovery: it has opened portals to the more beautiful world we know is possible, and the probable... From addition by subtraction methods to intimate awareness of what makes us thrive, Lauren delivered a treasure trove of personal and profound insights as to the nature of our Second Skins: the Home. Please look into her and her work at www.hausholistics.com and @hausholistics on Instagram  Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    EP 89 Feed the Starving Cats! with Coach Tony Holler

    Coach Tony Holler had me from the jump with his outstanding mantra and branding of FEED THE CATSNow, how does one feed the cats, you wonder? Tony's philosophy after decades in basketball and track coaching in Illinois formed under the conditions of an epiphany, when he realized that cats require the conditions to support their natural speed and spring, something we as upright cats also possess...When I encountered Tony's work, it was via an Instagram clip where Tony was presenting on the concept that fatigue is our enemy, not something we should be embracing day-in-and-out on the practice field. As someone who is constantly thinking of the bio-battery, I was instantly aligned with his concepts of freshness and vitality to support our highest athletic expression.Beyond the track, I was moved by Coach Tony's desire to create experiences that are fun, energetic, memorable and formative for young athletes, stemming from an organic mission to use sports as an avenue for character development.Our talk today was a highlight of my podcasting journey, to rap and rant and reflect with someone making an impact on his sphere of influence and beyond.Search 'FEED THE CATS' on YouTube for an abundance of workouts, interviews and testimonials on this game-changing philosophy.  Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

There is no shortage of revelations that come from an inquisitive nature, and as someone better than me recently said, "My open mind is closed for repairs." Sometimes, it pays to sit in silence with the questions that we are confounded by, entertaining that the funniest answer is often the most likely, AKA Owen's law. Today, I felt compelled to rap and rant about some goings-on lately that made me feel bonafide in my role as the Fool, making light of the obvious and touching the darkness of the unknown with tantalizing queries... Lots more adventures underway, and to be shared sooner than late!  Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

Perhaps. Still: a very authentic encounter with the Dragon of Doubt recalled my memory of a famous Latin expression: Nihil desperandum = Nothing to Despair. This podcast is a reflection on the revelations that only occur in darkness, to drive toward the light that is ever present. More to come about recent alignments, but for now...  Thank you for listening to Home Court Health with Tom Foolery! Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    Tennis Show #12: Story-telling for Success with Matt Knoll

    A coach's sphere of influence makes a massive impact on so many other circles, rippling out into the world from all ages ... As head coach of Baylor University's men's tennis team, Matt Knoll was tasked with using his coaching acumen - from study and experience - to sustain a winning presence. Based on this conversation, it would seem he did just that, and much more...It was especially gratifying for me to bend Matt's ear on details of practices, culture, training and vision. Such access to the way in which a leader approaches his response-ability is the type of Brain trust that Matt and others seek out as they evolve their approach to teaching. We agreed, over the course of ninety-minutes, that you can never truly lose: there is all ways a gain to be enjoyed from the pursuit of excellence, no matter the short-term outcomes. It was a tremendous pleasure to host Matt, and rap with him about these mutually exciting endeavors... I appreciate anyone who can communicate these messages to young men and women, inspiring them to take control of the authorship of their lives.You can find Matt's work at American College Placement, a service for elite mentoring in the world of collegiate tennis.Also: listen to Matt's podcast with GreatBase Tennis all about college tennis  Thank you for listening to Who's to Say? with Tom Foolery.  Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    The tennis world is all the richer for having Dave Anderson developing the talents of the future in Texas, and beyond...By now, you will all know that I have a keen desire to explore the characteristics of impactful coaches, men and women who make a significant difference to plant seeds of wonderful growth in their fields. From the first interview I heard with Dave, I said to myself: "HERE is a genuine Teacher."Our discussion was grounded in Dave's roots in North Dakota that saw him thrive in a competitive environment, enriched by jock-culture that valued various skills and abilities. I was so delighted with Dave's knack for highlighting the intangible and observable aspects of positive athlete development, embracing the role of Moulder of Dreams...Any parents listening: THIS is what a mentor sounds like ... I consider myself immensely fortunate to have spent two-hours bending Dave's ear, and unraveling the threads of wisdom that run through his mind.Dave Anderson has led the tennis instructional staff at the Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas, Texas for over thirty years. In doing so, he and his staff have developed approximately 500 college tennis players. GreatBase Tennis Education (GBTE) aspires to help educate tennis players, parents, coaches, and administrators. In addition to the podcast, GBTE offers five online courses, five hundred plus Instagram posts, and fifteen years of daily Facebook posts.

    If you are as yet unacquainted with the fascinating field of Fascia, I would like to welcome you to that journey of self-mastery...Thanks to Brooke, my own awareness of fascia - coupled with a MIGHTY breath - has been rapidly expanding, with practices and principles that are leading an evolution of potential for our bodies to express their highest gifts.Despite some audio impairments, Brooke and I were able to use our voices, our resonant fields, to explore some essential aspects of athleticism, healing, performance and many more pursuits that we can all embrace to our infinite benefit.Here's a glimpse of Brooke's story:"I’ve always aimed to instill a sense of MIGHTINESS in the breathwork community by integrating opera-style strengthening techniques into breath routines. Along the way, an unexpected foot injury led me to the world of fascia and completely reshaped my perspective.When I began combining fascia work with breath training, something remarkable started to happen — new brainwave patterns emerged in my clients. These discoveries continue to inspire my work, and I’m thrilled to share these patterns and their transformative potential with your audience."Brooke was gracious enough to provide some free resources for listeners to follow their curiosity:Brain + Breath EquationMighty Breath TipsFree Fascia TipsFor further interest in Brooke and her work, check out www.musicalbreathwork.com / @musicalbreathwork on instagram + YouTube  Thank you for listening to Who's to Say? with Tom Foolery.  Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    EP 79 Time Will Reveal All with Emily Moyer

    Emily Moyer packs a real punch when she sits in front of a microphone, and pulls none. This M.O. of relentless truth-seeking has led to her to the top of the field - in my humble opinion - of creative thinkers and commentators, often alongside her Partner in Time, Dani Katz (recently interviewed by yours truly).When I reached out to Emily, I used our mutual affinity for Tennis as a delicious bait, and yet I had fully intended to bend her ear to learn about her unique perspective on the inundation of mental and spiritual warfare in this era. She is well-versed in such matters, while not giving way to the alluring temptation of Doom, Gloom and Despair...We took up the mantle of confronting issues such as Feuxvid19, recent psy-ops, spiritual usury, social inversion, and last but certainly not least: the inspiring stage of PRO TENNIS!I believe it is a great gift to peak behind the curtain of Emily's mind, and experience her delineation real-time. To see her in action, I highly recommend her YouTube channel. You can find the rest of her offerings (which are superb) at her personal website.It was tantalizing and terrific trip that we took down a few rabbit holes ... thank you for joining me, as ever.  Thank you for listening to Who's to Say? with Tom Foolery.  Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

    EP 74 What if My Body is Brilliant

    In this special edition of 'Who's to Say?', it is my immense pleasure to deliver my spin on the critical questions that emerge when considering the Terrain Philosophy. The Germ theory of disease no longer serves us, and in fact, makes us children subject to the 'authority' of Mommy Medicine... when we learn that we are the spiritual and medicinal parents to our Inner Child, we are deeply empowered to heal from within. AND - we must first go deep within our selves to unearth the traumas we have subdued and stultified over time, all because we were told we needed to feel better ASAP. These models are breaking down, and being replaced by holistic paradigms that produce real results, often superbly inexpensive or free! As usual, asking questions opens up new portals of consciousness and opportunities to level up... and that's what today's episode is all about. Follow along:What if My Body is Brilliant - PDF  Thank you for listening to Who's to Say? with Tom Foolery.  Please leave a review and visit Instagram to connect with more content and resources.

My relentless pursuit of the Good, True and Beautiful has led me down some familiar paths of exploration, including: The Terrain Philosophy of Health Tennis (playing & coaching) Alternative His-Story Poetry Spiritual Traditions Social (reverse) Engineering Language Upgrades Sacred Cows Building Resilience and more... Thank you for joining me on the best journey we will ever embark upon: from the head to the heart. Sincerely, Tom Foolery homecourthealth.substack.com
