#WorkInProgress
by Francine Tolbert and Glaiza Regis
Some people have health and wellness figured out…for the rest of us,…it's complicated. #WorkInProgress was inspired by conversations we were having with each other. And from those conversations we realized that we just needed to do better. In an effort to gain a better understanding of ourselves, including health, wellness…and life in general we figured it would be a good idea to record our conversations.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.
