Finding What Works
A weekly note about healthier living, personal growth, and the things that make everyday life work a little better.
Life is a mix of learning, healing, growing, and figuring things out as we go.
That’s what I write about in Finding What Works.
Some weeks, we may talk about natural wellness, habits, stress, or simplifying life. Other weeks, it may be grief, personal growth, an unexpected realization, or something from the past that still makes me smile.

Hi! I'm AJ Flanagan.
Hi! I'm AJ Flanagan.
I'm endlessly curious about what helps people live healthier, happier, and more intentional lives.
Over the years I've explored everything from cleaner living and better nutrition to habits, grief, stress, relationships, history, and the everyday choices that shape how we live. I'm not interested in chasing perfection or the latest trends. I'm interested in finding what actually works in real life.
Walking alongside my husband, Eric, through two cancer diagnoses changed the way I thought about health, home, and what truly matters. After his passing, that curiosity didn't end—it grew.
Today I write about healthier living, personal growth, and the lessons I'm learning along the way, always hoping something I share helps someone else.
My hope is that this space feels less like a classroom and more like a conversation over coffee—where curiosity replaces pressure, progress matters more than perfection, and together we discover what actually works.
I'm glad you're here and if that sounds like the kind of conversation you'd enjoy, I hope you'll stick around.
