Episode 129: Don't Settle For Less (Teen Dating Violence Awareness Series)
I once bought a pair or cheap imitation Oakley sunglasses from a street vendor in NYC. I knew they weren't real, but they looked like the real thing for a whole lot less money. So I bought them. Annd they lasted a matter of days. A cheap knockoff isn't ever going to be the same quality as the real deal.Â
You deserve the real deal in your relationships, but cheap imitations can look really convincing and you may find yourself settling for a knockoff-maybe without even realizing it.Â
Today I talk about the REAL qualities of...

Episode 121: 8 Tools to Help You Persevere With Hope
Hope is a powerful motivator and an essential component of emotional resilience and mental wellness. So how do we hold on to hope regardless of if we are having a bad day, a hard month or years full of struggle?
Some might say the first step to persevering with hope is to start by “acknowledging the good and the bad” in life…and I would suggest instead of looking at what is happening in your life as good or bad; Acknowledge the easy and the hard…or maybe even where there is resistance and where there is ease….doe...
