RECENT EPISDOES
Episode 74 - Emotional Adulthood
In this week's episode, I am talking about emotional maturity.
I didn’t learn about emotional adulthood when I was growing up. There wasn’t a class in high school or college that I could take to become an emotional adult. I didn’t know that I had the ability to think about my thinking. I didn’t know that I could choose what I thought or how I felt at any given moment, no matter what the people around me were doing. If I had known this, I would have saved myself a lot of suffering.
So that is why I do what I do now. I want to show people what their life could look like if they knew that they have the ability to create a life of purpose and meaning and this is partly done by taking responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and actions.

Episode 72 - It’s Possible…
This week on the podcast, I am excited to explore with you a concept that I have loved learning about.
It is the idea of possibility.
The idea that something that is possible–something that can be done, achieved or realized.
It refers to a situation or circumstance that has the potential or capability to happen, exist, or be true.
It may also refer to something that is not certain, but that has a chance of occurring or happening.
The concept of possibility is often used to describe a range of options or alternatives that are available to someone or something, or to describe the potential for a particular outcome or result.
The possibilities are endless!

On this week's podcast episode, I am doing something a little bit different. I am going to share a talk that I recently gave at a Young Women’s Girls Camp.
As I prepared my talk, an interesting thing happened. The words just flowed into my mind. I really feel like the message I was preparing was inspired. Last week, I shared this message with this group of young women and I knew at that moment that I wanted to share this same message with you. I really believe that no matter our age or season of life, this message is applicable to all of us.
