Are you enabling the bad behavior of other people?
October 21, 2018

Do you enable behavior that you don’t like? Is it possible that the people that cause you stress do so because you are allowing it in some way?

This episode covers a very important topic that may help you get your power back if you adopt and apply the message.

For more on enabling bad behavior, be sure to tune into the Love and Abuse podcast.

Finding your true path so you don’t end up living a false life
October 7, 2018

Trying to find happiness is hard enough, but trying to do it when other people are in your life (or are interfering with your life) is even harder.

The first email I read on this episode is from someone who has a problem with his girlfriend smoking pot. He wants the relationship, but not the pot.

The second email dives into how deeply religious parents might want to continue controlling you even after you leave the nest. This episode is all about finding your true path and making the decision to follow it.

Stop believing what hurtful people say to you: Transforming negative self-talk to empowerment
September 30, 2018

Hurtful people do a really good job of causing us to feel bad about ourselves.

Not only that, we end up repeating what they said or did to us in our mind over and over again. The emotional trauma can last for months or years.

In this episode I help transform the hurtful messages from others into empowering declarations that help us move on see them for who they really are.

The fear that you’ll never experience something ever again
August 26, 2018

The best relationship, job, or event in your life flashes by, and now you are afraid that’s the best there ever was and it will never be that good again.

When you use the words, “never,” “ever,” and “always,” you set up your present and future for a daily misery that never ends. It’s time to examine the language we use and make sure we are not setting up our reality to be a nightmare.
