Imagine this: you run into your old middle school teacher at the store. How do you feel? What emotions do you associate with this person? What core memories do you share with them?

Ever hear the words "arrogant", "conceited", or "narcissistic"? Hopefully, none of those words were directed at you. We all want to stand out in our own way, but we all know individuals who believe in themselves a little ~too~ much. Being "humble" is the general solution to curing arrogance, but is it really that easy to cure? Is having pride in oneself really a bad thing? Who the heck is &qu...

The Rascal Flatts were right when they said "life is a highway". But the reality is that life is also a warzone. Well, not literally.  More emotionally. Every day, we experience something that tests our willingness to keep going and be our best selves. Hard times will come into your life, no matter what you do. A small interaction may ruin your day. But when these small battles do occur (because they will): are they reall...

This episode is a little more nuanced than usual: are you separating your own wants and desires from those others want and desire for you? In other words, are you allowing the outside world to steer your life or are you actually in control? It's okay if you don't! That's part of the world we live in now. But we can always decide to take control now and steer our own ship.
