And it's called the Wellness Pentagon. This is the 5 sides of yourself, your whole self, your most loving, your most amazing, your most actualized self.
And that is starting with the floor, physical, then mental, emotional for the walls, then spiritual and financial for the roof. This is the Pentagon of wellness.

And I say this every AMA, I'm like, I live vicariously through you, Mar.
Before we get into the AMA, Just tell people a little bit about your existence out there if they don't know you they don't know anything about you What's your life like?

To master it, to live their life well, but not just to live well, to thrive. This is our AMA today. It's number 653. And I'm as always here with my co-host Mar. How are you doing today?
I'm well rested after the weekend, surfed out, and just happy that I can spend my time in nature as much as I can during the weekends or during my free time. And also approaching pain differently this time because my back pain appeared again after surfing.
And so I gave it some rest instead of pushing through the pain and it feels so much better. I feel like I'm finally listening to my body and giving it when it needs instead of punishing it more and more and more. So yeah, things are good.
