In this episode, we're thrilled to walk with
Susan Greeley, SVP
and National Director of Wellness Services for Castle Connolly
Private Health Partners, one of the newest partners in our Employee
Empowerment Program.
Susan is also a registered dietician, cookbook author and the
host of her own podcast,
A SENSe of Wellness. So we recorded this as a
doubler that Susan will be releasing on her podcast too :)
Susan lives near me in New Jersey, so we were able to meet up
for a walk in a park near my home. It was a beautiful, chilly
day before Christmas. And since we were in the holiday and
new year spirit, our conversation weaves through several themes
that can help us all stick with our 2024 resolutions.
Hint: make them easy and fun. And don't go it alone.
