Christmastime is here! It's a season of joy, generosity, and traditions. But just like in our favorite holiday movies, Christmas is not without its threats.

A series about ‘the excuses we use to avoid dealing with our everyday addictions.’ Now, some of you might be thinking, ‘I’m not sure this is going to apply to me.’ But you’re going to be surprised. We all have things we do to make us feel better—that start as occasions, but escalate into compulsions. Maybe it’s social media, online shopping, or a constant cup of caffeine in your hand. But we do st...

FAMILY MONTH 2023: WK 5- "LIE #5 THERE ARE CERTAIN RIFTS YOU JUST CAN’T REPAIR" 01.11.2023 44:27
We all have certain ideas of what family is and how it’s supposed to work. We pick them up from all sorts of places—the way we grew up, the friends we have, the shows we watch, and the influencers we follow. The trouble is, often the way we think things ought to be isn’t the way they really are. Ever wondered if your family is doing it right or maybe even wrong? What if the issue isn’t the indivi...

TINY GOLD STATUES: Wk 2- "MOST LIKED" 04.10.2023 32:06
We all have certain things we care about more than others. Everyone’s got their own goals, dreams, interests, and obsessions. But we each tend to value whatever makes us feel valuable. The catch is—most of us have had moments where we finally got our hands on whatever invisible trophy we’d been angling for and realized it just wasn’t worth the journey. The GOOD THING we’d been obsessed with became...
