On The Cover: Kevin Costner 108 Pages Dear Readers, As summer peaks in the Valley, the city hums with monsoon storms, laughter on shaded patios, and the quiet beauty of museum halls. On our cover, we celebrate Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, where Kevin Costner was honored with the Western Spirit Award—highlighting a decade of preserving Western heritage. This season isn’t just about staying cool, but living smartly. “Cool Home, Hot Savings” shares tips to keep homes comfortable and energy bills down, while “Splash Safely” and “Prevent Drowning” offer must-know pool safety advice. And for pet owners, “Fur-ever Friends” helps cats and dogs live together peacefully during lively summer days. Food lovers will find plenty to savor. “Sweet Escapes with a View” reveals Phoenix’s coolest indoor dessert spots, and “Summer Happy Hours” lists the best dining deals in Old Town Scottsdale. Adventurous readers can explore “Exotic Culinary Delights,” featuring goat stew with cassava and vegan lavender ice cream. Beyond dining, we spotlight movement and conservation: “Workout Cool” showcases the inclusive Ability360 Sports & Fitness Center, while “Saving Every Drop of Water!” highlights SRP’s innovative efforts to protect our desert’s most vital resource. When the city heat lingers, “High Country Treks” invites you to cooler trails in Northern Arizona. And indoors, our “Book Reviews” recommend titles like “The Wide Wide Sea,” “Original Sin,” “Never Flinch,” and “Nightshade”—perfect reads for summer afternoons. What truly makes Phoenix summers special isn’t just how we cool off, but how we come together as neighbors, families, and explorers. We hope this issue inspires you to discover, taste, and celebrate the best of our region. Warmly, Marie Taylor Editorial Director Discover The Phoenix Region Magazine

The last couple of years have given us a lot of material to navigate. Some of

us have risen to the occasion. Some of us have isolated. All of us have felt

moments of disenchantment, and, perhaps, despair. All of us have been faced

with a choice; to see challenges or problems. As we step into the new year,

what are you choosing for yourself?

I’m Hillary Metz, a transformational coach based in Sedona, Arizona. I am

devoted to healing, beauty, empowerment, and transformation: for myself and

my clients. Combining my intuition, life experiences, and coach training,

I have developed a unique blueprint to create a rich, meaningful life. In these

rapidly changing times, the world needs all of us on deck and in our

heart-centered power.

Coaching with me is a collaboration. I don’t have all the answers to your ques-

tions. You do, though. That’s right. You do. Together we will dissolve mental,

emotional, and spiritual obstacles preventing you from hearing and following

your own innate wisdom. With an unwavering stand for your greatness, I’ll offer

you illuminating…sometimes tough, sometimes tender…questions to explore

within a safe, nurturing, and often humorous, container. Your answers will

reveal action steps to propel you into deeper levels of inspiration, purpose,

and empowerment…and align your internal dreams and desires with your

external world.
