We're talking about goals, and judgements and authenticity. Let's say you want something, but society tells you that you shouldn't...

Past me was really f*cking angry, and I really didn't believe that everyone else wasn't also really f*cking angry. More than 10 years ago - I posted something online that basically called out peppy people. I called them on their BS. I called them out for being fake. I called them out for it not being real, because no one is that happy.  Obviously I had no idea at the time of the post, th...

How often do you compare yourself to other people?  We’ve all heard it - “Comparison Is the Thief Of Joy” T. Roosevelt  And it is. Period.  We often compare ourselves to other people and have NO IDEA OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THEIR LIFE!

Complaining is ruining your life. (I love that I’m being dramatic about this).  But seriously, we all spend time complaining about anything and everything, yes - some more than others.

Most people don’t even notice that they complain. Now th...

I did a poll on Instagram recently,  Do you feel like you never have enough time? OR All the time in the world?  83% of the people who responded said - “Never enough time!” Which made me realize that I needed to address this on the podcast.  That feeling of “not having enough time” to do all the things you want to do, is anxiety inducing. It’s living in the future.  It’s living in overwhelm.  It’s...

We all know that person, or perhaps we have been that  person (Hey 👋 ) or are the that person... You know - the “victim”.  The person that the universe is conspiring against.  The person who always is suffering.  The person who just can’t catch a break.  The… “WHY ME???” person.  This episode is all about the victim mentality (I would venture a guess that we’ve ALL been there at one point or anot...
