10/26/22 If we need to detox our body, usually it’s because we’ve got something toxic internally - in our blood stream or our organs - that is wreaking havoc. It could be something like heavy metals in our body or even an addiction to sugar. And many times we’ve been given a protocol by a doctor, a plan to follow, for a certain about of time to rid our bodies of these toxins. If you’re seeing a naturopathic doctor, they might prescribe a drip therapy like chelation. Or you mi

10/19/22 Hello friends! So, I’m doing a series, maybe a long series like 8 or 10 episodes on “How To” and I’m going to try to do it in 10 minutes or less. Last week I talked about How To Quiet Quit Your Life, and in the next few weeks I’m going to talk about how to detox your brain, how to keep your cool, how to lose weight, how to take criticism, how to change things, how to not care, and a few others. If there’s something you want to hear about, please let me know! Find me

4/20/22 So, this week I’m covering the last of the Five Givens in Life. These are based on the book The Five Things We Cannot Change…and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them by David Richo. If you want to go back and listen, I covered the first four in the past four episodes. The Five Given of Life are: 1) Everything Changes and Everything Ends 2) Things Don’t Always Go As Planned 3) Life Is Not Always Fair 4) Pain Is Part Of Life And the fifth one, which I’m t

4/13/22 This is the fourth of the Five Givens In Life based on the book The Five Things We Cannot Change…and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them by David Richo. I’ve explored the past three in the most recent episodes and how each of them affect and impact my life. This fourth one, though, whew, it’s another tough one for me to unpack. I watched my husband struggle with chronic pain for years. I’ve had my own share of pain, before and after his death. So, talking about pa

4/6/13 It’s true. And you know this. We’ve been saying “That’s not fair” since we were in elementary school. Whether that’s because we were told we have to share our candy with our younger sibling, or that we couldn’t go to the high school party everybody else got to go to. Life’s not always fair. This is the third of the Five Givens in Life. These come from David Richo’s book Five Things We Cannot Change…And The Happiness We Find By Embracing Them. In it, he talks a lot abou

3/30/22 I’m going to be real honest and tell you I’ve been struggling putting this week’s episode together. As I frequently do, I already had a focus in mind. But recent events have really made me think a little deeper on this topic. Last week I mentioned one of the 5 Givens in life, and that is that everything is going to change; nothing remains the same. So, I thought I’d go back and in the upcoming weeks cover the other four Givens. The 5 Givens are based on the book Five

3/23/22 I was talking to someone the other day about last week’s episode, Post-traumatic growth - the idea that after a traumatic event, you can grow exponentially - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - if you choose to let experience change you for the better. Because I had mentioned it in the podcast, she asked me to describe the ways in which I was different before Brian died. She said, “I know you’ve had a close relationship with the Lord for a long time, so how have

3/16/22 Hello, friends. Welcome to episode number 72 - Post-Traumatic Growth I’ve had several emails and messages lately from people who have recently lost loved ones. We’ve been talking a lot about grief, and healing, and growth after trauma. But here’s the thing, we all have experienced trauma. That might be the big T trauma (such as sexual or physical abuse) or little T trauma - such as being made fun of, or a teacher calling us out in from of our peers, or a myriad of oth
