MEET JOSH

Here's what I love: I love joyful energy. I love when I'm outside and I'm able to really feel the sunshine. I love when I'm walking my son to school and I'm holding his hand. I love feeling open and at ease. I love laughing with my family and friends. I love helping people be themselves and grow into their most beautiful versions. I love rooting for the Chicago Cubs.

Here's what I celebrate: I'm a good father. I'm a good husband. I'm a good friend. I'm a good therapist. I've worked hard to grow and heal and find my joy. I don't settle. I'm committed to listening to my needs. I've been gifted with seeing things in particular ways.

Here's what I know: I fall into the understandable traps of working for tomorrow's happiness but am glad I practice enjoying today. I now see how both joy and hardship co-exist in every moment and I can make a choice about my time and attention as best I can.
