Better Ask Bam Podcast

Better Ask Bam Is back and this week - we're talking about boundaries from the other side! We often preach about setting boundaries and why it's important to do so, but we never talk about how lonely we feel in that process. We don't talk about how hard it is setting boundaries from the other perspective. Today we'll learn what to do when we start feeling lonely and how standing on our boundaries helps build healthy friendships and relationships.

On today's episode we're breaking down the privilege of privacy, especially in romantic relationships. Bam gives her best advice to couples having hardships in their relationship letting them know that whatever they're going through - keep their business OFF the internet! We also talk about the emotions stemming from heartbreak. Bam provides her best tips on how to cope with heartbreak and how to move forward after the storm. Relationships are not easy by any means, and whatever you decide to do moving forward, make sure you have peace with your decision.

Happy New Year!! Better Ask Bam is BACK and I'm giving you a recap on everything you missed since I've been gone. I reveal the reason I stopped podcasting last year and realized how blocking my own potential kept me from pursing what I loved most. This episode is for anyone who is struggling to to pursue their passion(s) due to fear, disappointment and doubt. It's time to get own of your way and step into your season of success!

In light of tWitch's untimely death, I want to send a message to anyone who is struggling mentally and/or emotionally during this season. I hope this message inspires all my listeners going through a tough season to fight through their hardships and lean on their support system. You have people here who can't even fathom a world without you in it. There's light at the end of the tunnel and I want you to see it. If you or anyone you know feels alone and needs someone to talk to, please call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.
