Heal or Harm?

In this engaging and honest talk, Dana Herrera offers a simple but powerful tool for daily decision-making: ask yourself, Does this heal me or harm me? From what you eat to how you spend your time, Herrera challenges viewers to pause and check in—not just with their bodies, but with their emotions, mindset and spirit. Through relatable examples—from diet soda to family dinners, meditation to alcohol—she illustrates how healing or harm isn’t always obvious, and how self-awareness is key to making better choices.

But the message isn’t about striving for perfection. It’s about learning to recognize patterns, tune into how things affect you, and take ownership of your wellbeing. As Herrera explains, true wellness is multidimensional—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual—and our ability to live well starts with asking the right questions. Whether you’re choosing what to drink or how to spend a Friday night, awareness is the first step on the path to balance.
