I am flying solo on this show.  I read two articles that explore what most people regret at the end of their lives.  Most people wish the same things...listen to find out which 10 wishes we should absorb and grasp before we leave this world!

Brit Morris and Courtney Wilson from the Healing Life Institute come on the podcast to talk about narcissism and people with those characteristics.  There are different types of people who fall within the narcissistic spectrum.  We not only talk about what those traits are, but how we can choose to interact with someone who has a narcissistic disorder. You may be surprised....these kinds of people may be right under your nose. As always when talking with therapist Brit, we talk about how we can control our thoughts and emotions instead of blaming and pointing fingers.  It is always about becoming a self-champion!

Suzlynn Bruton and I talk about spirituality and the role it plays in our lives.  We discuss religion vs. spirituality, why we believe what we believe, our prayer life, faith, and how God speaks to us.  Whether you believe in any of this or you don't, this is definitely a great conversation to be had!

Brit Morris and I talk about healing our relationships.  We talk about the five love languages, communication, and being in the conflict circle.  The bottom line is, it all starts with self.  If we learn how to handle conflict and not allow others to bring us into their conflict circle, we will free ourselves from drama and become a self-champion.  Brit Morris is founder and owner of Healing Life Institute.  For more information about her and her practice, go to healinglifeinstitute.org

Joining me on this show is my lovely friend Shiney Eapen along with founder of Healing Life Institute, Brit Morris.  Brit leads us in a conversation about having the choice to control our thoughts and to determine what we want out of life.  We talk about anxiety and how we can cope with it.  She shares useful information about her new program for 2021 called "No Fear This Year" and how picking our word for the year will keep us heading in the right direction.  For more information about Brit Morris and her practice, Healing Life Institute, you can go to www.healinglifeinstitute.org. 

Hope Machado and Carolyn Talley Harshaw join the show to talk about growing older gracefully while keeping your sanity.  We talk about marriage and liking the person you are with; and how communication is key in relationships.  We talk about loving yourself and having confidence in knowing what you deserve.  They discuss learning from experiences and mistakes.  They tell us how they stay healthy not just physically, but mentally.  We talk about living our purpose and what that means.   I ask them if they have any regrets in life or if that is even something any of us should have.

A group of moms come together to discuss mom guilt and what it means to us.  Erica Freeman-Jones, Rachael Wahl, Lindsey Yoder, and Meghann McNalley come on the show to explore this topic.  It is real conversation with real women!!

Tiffany Flewellen-Cooper, TJ Hendrix, and  Lindsey Yoder talk about race and systemic racism in our country.  We all read the book "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo and we scratch the surface on race relations in the United States.  All four of us bring different perspectives on the topic.  Our hope is that by having open communication, we can do our part in opening your eyes; to make you aware of systems that were put in place long ago that have created unjust separation between the races.  We could have talked for hours and will continue the conversation in future shows.

Suzlynn Bruton, Lindsey Yoder, and I talk about anxiety and depression.  We share our experiences and how we are finding ways to cope.

My sister, Monica, and I continue to talk about our upbringing.  We start to focus more on how our lives have become as adults and the healing that has taken place between the two of us.

What makes life so beautiful is that we are all so very different. No matter where you are from and how you grew up, if you have an open mind and an open heart, we can learn from each other! Rachael Wahl and Erica Freeman-Jones join me in talking about interracial friendships. It is quite entertaining!  

I talk with 26 year old Briana Brooks about her childhood.  Her parents were in and out of prison, they abused drugs, and she was abused physically.  She was born into so much dysfunction and is trying to pave a better path for her son and for herself.   We follow her on her journey to growth and healing.

Suzlynn Bruton and I talk about self-love and the path that has brought us to accepting who we are.
