Just Because you're Bored doesn't Mean you're Boring

January 11, 2024 • 15 mins
When I saw this quote from Eckhart Tolle that I opened the podcast with, it really hit me. It hit me so hard that it inspired thoughts to spew out of me that I felt would be very pertinent to so many. It is so important to remember that we are not our emotions. I realized that a couple of weeks ago, I fell prey to personifying the way I was feeling. I began to identify with it. I felt like it was part of me. I had forgotten that f...

October 10, 2023 • 12 mins

To the Self-Help Junkie

September 26, 2023 • 5 mins
This podcast is for the self-help junkie. I have definitely been there. That hit of dopamine every time you hear the latest and greatest strategy is exquisite. So, you seek more and more and more. You've got the latest audiobook and 3 others queued and ready to go. You've got your ticket to a couple of retreats, and your nose in a few self-help books. But, is there true growth? Is there improvement? Is all the "trying" getting yo...

Pain = The Reason for Poor Communication

September 12, 2023 • 14 mins
In this podcast I talk about how difficult communication is between anyone who seems to be the cause of pain for you. What would happen if you were asked to give a speech and while you were walking up about to deliver it, you totally stubbed your toe? Would you be able to talk right away? Would you have the senses to say everything as planned? Not at all...you'd definitely need some time to compose yourself. Same goes for our emo...

May 6, 2021 • 18 mins
To all my single moms out there, this message is for you.

You won't regret it. * This podcast actually stems from a time in my life when I was struggling and I kept asking my mom for advice. "Tell me your secrets!" I'd say. "I want to know."

I thought it could be beneficial to go to the source and ask how her experience has been with going between two households. * I can imagine that having four parents might feel a little much at times, but Izzy handles it great.

Nobody likes to bring up tough subjects. If you are anything like me, you'd rather throw dirt in your eyes.
