Seemingly over time, our world has forgotten how to communicate, empathize, & compromise; I'm here to share my own "refresher course" on these things!
We are "throwing away the casual" & discussing otherwise taboo topics in order to see firsthand that we all make it through tremendous things, we have more in common than we realize, & we are all JUST human.
Each week, we have a conversation with someone about experiences that made them into who they are, what awareness they have to offer, & just enjoy whatever lovely human being happens to stop by for a conversation.
Sometimes, I may take a week to voice my own stories or opinions; otherwise, you're at a prime place to hear about others' experiences, strength, & hope...a platform for everyone, if you will!
Remember: identify, don't compare; & feel free to like/subscribe. Party on.
Disclaimer: I AM NOT A PARENT...but I know a good mom when I see one.
This episode is basically just a big "love letter" to moms...celebrity moms, single moms, working moms, homeschooling moms, & all of the everyday moms who are doing their absolute best while somehow being expected to do it better & more effortlessly.
While the judgment of mothers seems to be getting a bit better over the years, it still seems cruel & unjust the way moms get assessed for everything they do or don't do, say or don't say, go to or don't go to, allow their kids to do or don't allow their kids to do.
Why are we so obsessed with finding fault with these women who are doing (in my opinion) the most selfless job out there?
Unfortunately, I don't answer that question in this episode, but—for what it's worth, I see you moms out there doing a fine job & still not feel like you're doing enough...I think you're doing great.
Good job🤙😎
Along with that, I realize that while talking about "not judging moms", I used the term "good moms" to describe moms...bear with me on this...was making a point that the things I know a number of things moms worry about *ought to* (in my opinion) make them feel like they're already doing a good job.
Party on & if I may advise anything: If you see a mom out in the real world doing a good job—go tell her that you think she's doing a good job...it is a thankless job & it feels good to spread the good word to them.

Good Grief
This is a mighty special episode, listeners!
Not only is this the first interview episode of "A Little More Personal", but the lovely lady that I've gotten to know, Pam, shares her experience, strength, & hope with us in the most poetic & insightful way.
Also, this interview is your reminder to appreciate the flight attendants that are catering to our neediness...& to learn about how drastically flying has changed through the years. We have definitely taken some of the glamour out of flying, lol oops...
To Pam, what a freaking woman you are & thank you for joining me & getting "A Little More Personal"🤙🤠😁❤️
Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide.

It's Me; I'm the Problem
Get a pen, a notebook, & strengthen that backbone; this week, we are taking responsibility for our actions & reactions.
Have you ever told someone that you don't particularly like: "You are the reason that I make bad decisions/drink/our relationship failed/I am the way that I am"?
Well, not for much longer. This week, we are addressing taking responsibility, rather than continuing to play the victim. The tools provided will help you build healthier, harmonious, informed habits.
We all have shortcomings; but selling ourselves short is unfortunate.
Do the work suggested & be the person you & society both deserve.

Alcohol & Tabloids & Mental Health, Oh My!
In a time of endless sources of information, we have every resource to "know better, do better." We are moving in a solid direction of learning to be humane to one another, understand with one another, & celebrating individuality. How can we make amends to those we affected with the choices we used to make?

Happy Holiday & see you all next week!
