Time is our greatest illusion! Many of us make decisions that may not be the best for us based on the illusion of time. What is time and how does it impact us?

Stress, strain, and overwhelm! How do we refocus on our lives? What are some important things in your life that you may be pushing aside, not thinking about, or not focusing on?

How often do you wait for others to make decisions impacting your life? In the process of waiting for these decisions, you put your life on hold.

Do someone's lies have you questioning your own reality? Perhaps you are experiencing manipulation and gaslighting right now. We may not have a full understanding of what is happening to us.

Today's show is goin...

Arguments, we all have had them at some point in our lives. Some arguments may have been more heated than others. The arguments we have with the people we are the closest to are the most challenging. It is easier to argue with a stranger than with someone close to us. The challenge occurs when we try to keep our cool during a heated, emotional argument, with a parent, spouse, or someone very close...
