Leah and Jason are back! During some much-needed time away Leah has learned how much communicating with others can lead to people creating taglines in real life to introduce themselves.

#championsofdiscourse #takeupspacepod #mentalhealth Letting go isn't always easy. Whether you're letting go of a relationship, a job, car, or watching your kids grow up. Leah discusses with Jason her process of letting go of her dog in her new chapter in life and her experience so far. Colt has been Leah's dog since he was a puppy and she never thought she'd have to let him go. But she's made peace with him going to a new family to bring them joy.

#championsofdiscourse #takeupspacepod #ultimatim What would you do if the person you're dating gives you an ultimatum on the 3rd date? Is it easy for you to leave jobs or relationships that don't serve you? Leah and Jason discuss the harms of making decisions from a scarcity mindset. Sometimes we hold on so tight to what we have, we assume that things will never get better than 'this'. There's always going to be something on the horizon. You just have to let it go to get there.
