A weekly podcast that talks about life. We talk about feelings and explore topics like FEAR, ANXIETY, RESENTMENTS, to seldom talked about topics such as BOUNDARIES, SELF SABOTAGE, COMPARING OURSELVES TO OTHERS, and dozens more.. My goal is to bring "awareness" of the many things in life that are seldom talked about yet can hold us back from having our best possible life, the one we deserve. We take a deep dive into every topic and suggest easy ways you can start right away to remove self defeating behaviors from your life and create a more peaceful, joyful, and successful life for yourself.
