PODCAST: Lost Your Passion? No Bootstraps Here, but… a Good Old Fashioned REBOOT, with Justin Jones

Got apathy? Who cares? Sorry, couldn’t resist. Truth be told, a lot of us struggle with apathy without even realizing it, because we mistake our “busyness” with passion. In other words, we are TOO DISTRACTED to notice how passionless our lives really are. Didn’t mean to yell at you there, but, you know, distractions. So […]

PODCAST: Does this Mirror Make Me Look… Deceptive? Chatting with Sandy Brownlee about her new book “The Mirror Lies”

Everyone’s got a story. And everyone’s got a secret or two. Often that’s what makes the stories even juicier. Not that we’re not here to blow all YOUR secrets. Oh no, we have much more class than that. (Besides, I’m always the last to know the scoop about anything). But we ARE here to talk […]

Is there something you want to try, but you’re just plain skeered? Then Welcome to Scary Monday, cause that’s what we’re all about here- frightening ourselves silly in the name of personal growth!

All ARE Welcome. For Real.

Do you ever find yourself in the middle of an otherwise ordinary moment, and realize that something extraordinary is happening? Yeah, me neither. Kidding. A real jokester, that’s what I am. Actually, that’s the very thing we’re here to talk about today, kids. Cause that’s exactly what happened to me this weekend. Something extraordinary […]

PODCAST: PEOPLE ARE GOOD… or as I like to call it, NO JERKS ALLOWED – stories to inspire you- with Anna McHargue

This world would be a perfect place… if it wasn’t for all those people. (insert dramatic eye roll here) Come on, you’ve thought this. We’ve all thought it, at least once in our lives… or once a day, every day… the point is, there are some real jerks out there. Not you. And not me. […]

The End of the World As We Know It

So I have this niece who lives in paradise. You think I am speaking metaphorically? I am not, thank you very much. The girl LIVES on the Hawaiian island of Kauai… where it’s pristine, and paradisaical, and practically perfect in every way. All day. Every day. Sure. Whatever. Of course, I am crazy jeal… I mean, […]
