It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I hope you are humming that song now because my brain can’t help but fill in “with kids jingle belling and everyone telling you be of good cheer!”
On a serious note, I do believe it is the most wonderful time of the year but sometimes I find myself struggling to go along with the rest of this song and be of good cheer. Instead of slowing down and enjoying the magic that comes with the season, I find myself going at a pace that isn’t sustainable. Then in the blink of an eye, the holidays are over and I am left wondering if I was even present for any of it. I somehow chose to focus on the things that didn’t really matter and missed out on the ones that did. Can you relate? Maybe it’s because you are drowning in your already overflowing “to-do” list or the mere thought of how much money it’s going to take to make the holidays a reality. Or maybe you are approaching the first holiday season without a loved one or better yet, the first where you are focused on remaining sober in a sea of festive spirits. Whatever you are facing this holiday season, I got you covered with the “Living Well Holiday Special”!Inside, you will find everything from healthier recipes to fun gift ideas to insight into being in charge of your finances instead of it being in charge of you. My hope is that this book along with the featured podcasts will leave you not only excited about the holidays but prepared to enjoy them as you should! From my family to yours - Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!With so much love,
😍😍😍😍😍
Dr. Jessica Turner

Welcome to the world of Pet Candy
For pet lovers, one of the greatest fears is losing our beloved companion. Grieving is very personal and different for each person and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Experts do agree that it does help when we talk about our feelings and share our story with others.
The actress that graces out cover this month, Reagan J. Pasternak, has a beautiful story to tell and we are delighted to share it with you. After losing her dog, Griffin, Reagan began writing a book about her journey of healing in hopes it would help others navigate their grief. I hope that readers will find comfort, insight, and companionship in the pages.
On a lighter note, we also have some other great information for you in this issue, including tips for enjoying your holidays with your pets, staying healthy, and living your best life.

The holidays are a wonderful time of the year. While many of us will use the time to reconnect with family and friends, some of us are just looking forward to having time to relax from the normal day to day grind.
Holidays are also a time when we like to spend money. In fact, according to Deloitte, the average American household is expected to spend about $1463 dollars on holiday gifts, goodies and travel this year.1
Depending on your viewpoints on money, thinking of spending that much money might make you stressed. When it comes to spending, you want to make smart choices, but knowing where to start can be the hardest part.
On this episode we meet the finance gurus from Florida Veterinary Advisors, CJ Burnett and Tom Seeko who give us some great tips on how to make smart money moves during the holidays. CJ, who in addition to being a financial advisor, is also an accomplished musician who ends the show with and amazing duet with himself! This is a must listen!
