For those who think they might not want kids — or for anyone who finds themselves on an unexpected or alternative life path — this is for you.

Both my personal and professional life took turns I never imagined. And yet, here I am, learning to celebrate it.

It’s only in looking back on these various areas of my life that it all makes perfect sense how I arrived here.

I hear this phrase often, and every time my reaction is the same: our bodies don’t fail us—if anything, we fail our bodies.

We fail them when we lose connection, when we stop listening, when we forget they are part of us.

Sadness is not weakness.

Sadness doesn’t mean you’re not masculine.

Real emotions don’t define our masculinity.

Sadness doesn’t mean you’re susceptible to being taken advantage of.

Just because we may know what the correct answer is, does not mean we still don’t have feelings to express.

I asked AI what it thought about this statement and here was its response. ⁣

John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” The Yiddish proverb expresses a similar idea: “Man plans and God laughs”

I’ve always been a big believer in having a vision for my life and career. But just as important as having a clear vision is the ability to stay flexible — to pivot when life reveals a new direction.

For some of us, navigating life means doing the best we can with what we have. For others, it’s a constant search for guidance—seeking ways to live with less suffering and more ease.⁣

I found myself on the latter path at 29, when I was facing deep turmoil in my life. It was then that I sought out great teachers who helped guide me through my healing journey.

One is an avoidance in dealing with an aspect of ourselves that we’re struggling with, and the other is simply un-committing to something we’re no longer interested in continuing to do.

Does being this way continue to serve you/your body?

If it doesn’t, what’s the benefit of continuing to hold onto being this way?

Questions to consider:

Are you listening to it?

If you’re listening to it, and know what it needs …

… are you giving it what it needs?

If not, why not?

Sure, eating healthy foods, taking vitamins and medicines and taking care of our physical bodies is good, however deep healing will always ask us to consider what we are holding onto that is ultimately killing us.

I’m Harold Turk, D.C. 😊

I’m a first-generation American. My father’s parents were Holocaust survivors. They were from Poland and Romania, and came to the U.S. after the war, by way of Sweden (which is where they were liberated to and met). My mother’s side are Jewish from Tunisia, and my mother was raised in France. Together, they raised my younger brother and me in the San Fernando Valley. 🌍

✅ We’re becoming clear about OUR triggers & we’re not as reactive to them.

✅ We no longer put up with others’ dysfunctional behaviors like we used to.

✅ We’re more connected with our emotions.

What do you base your Trust of someone on?

✅ How we feel around them. They feel loving, aggressive , easy going, integrous, out to lunch, etc. We can trust them to be all of these things.

My coaching mentor of 19 years and counting, finally had his first proper Māori healing bodywork session from me.

He’d been struggling with some back pain after a work out left him tweaked. He went to acupuncture and massage; used jacuzzis and ice packs, but it still remained. He’d also been dealing with a lot in his personal life.

So when he phoned, asking to see me the next day, I said of course.

Everyone has modalities they utilize to help find their way with life. This is the evolution of what I’ve used to help me find my way through it all.

How I got to where I am now came serendipitously, and it started with becoming a Chiropractor.

Have you been feeling anxious, down, and not very inspired or motivated? You’re not alone, and it’s more common than you might think.

These aren’t very inspiring times, so stop thinking that something is wrong with you.

As a coach and healer, it’s vital to know what we can heal and change, and what we cannot. This share is about something that I can never change, other than my relationship with it. Maybe you can relate.

We’re just into the New Year, and I can feel the familiar “not enough” noise that I’m no stranger to.

K@vid and the associated shut down turned out to be good for many things that it did not intend.

It illuminated how much our media is not about dispensing the truth, but rather marketing a narrative that benefits the bottom line for those in power.

Now more than ever I’m happily finding people’s increasing desire to connect with & excavate unwanted stuck energies, traumas & emotions held deep within their bodies.

A trigger point is any mental, emotional or physical spot on a person that contains some kind of sensitivity, reactivity, pain, inflammation, dysfunction, shame, or fear.
