Description
All my podcast will be short-never more than 15 minutes. I will be talking about my own personal experiences on topics such as depression, anxiety, spirituality, emotional sobriety, parenting, and marriage to name a few. I think that the only thing that is truly unique to me is my personal journey and my personal story. My vision is that as you listen to my experiences and struggles, you will find value for yourself.

I was shocked by the amount of comments and feedback I received regarding my last podcast on suicide. Most of the feedback was regarding additional resources for suicide and suicide prevention. Here is a great site I came across speakingofsuicide.com/resources. The second link is an article written in The New York Times on June 7, 2018 by Benedict Carey titled "Defying Prevention Efforts, Suicide Rates Are Climbing Across the Nation." I found the information in this article very disturbing.

Back in 1997 Don Miguel Ruiz wrote a fantastic book called, The Four Agreements. I would highly recommend it. The four agreements are 1) Be Impeccable with Your Word, 2) Don't Take Anything Personally, 3) Don't Make Assumptions, and 4) Always Do Your Best.
