Making Amends AA

What does making amends mean anyway?  in AA it is a way of saying I am sorry for my actions while in addiction. For many saying I’m sorry or taking accountability for your actions is hard to do. We look at it as a character flaw or a weakness. Whether in AA or struggling with your past actions, making amends is an easy way to free yourself from your past. In this podcast we investigate how to approach our own ego and navigate letting go and saying I’m sorry.

Intrusive Thoughts

Have you had the feeling that the random thoughts you have are weird, twisted? This can be a crippling for some people. If you do not understand intrusive thoughts and where they come from you may just think you are crazy. In this podcast we will examine our thoughts and how to manage them. The brain had at least 70,000 thoughts in a day and only act on a hand full. Excessive thoughts, twisted thoughts, and our ability to understand them is our topic today.

Child Shooters

Babies killing babies. Did you know that gun violence is the leading cause of death for children? 93% of gun violence in schools is planned in advance. We often hear parents say that they had no idea that their child would be capable of violence. Let alone with a gun. The ball is being dropped here, by someone. What are we missing with our kids that would not only lead to violence but also suicide? In this podcast, we will go over the stats and where to look for the signs of a violent child.

No, He's Not Into You

Have you ever been in a relationship or had a friend in one that wasn’t exactly reciprocal? You would be surprised how many people stay in dead-end relationships, hoping for the other to change. To see the light and suddenly decide that you are the one they have been waiting for! Nope, it doesn’t happen, if it does, it's rare. 
In this podcast, maybe you’ll see yourself and your place in your relationship. We’ll break down what makes a relationship, when to stay, and when to go. There is someone out there for you, but it may not be the one you have been wasting your time with… Chins up, and let's take a peek into the mind of the person you think you love.

Addiction and Manipulation

One of the biggest parts of addiction is the manipulation of the addict toward family and friends. This is a chemical reaction from the brain and also a learned behavior. Many people who find themselves trapped in the life of the addict have no idea how to get out.
In this podcast, we will examine how the mind works for the addict—the need for instant gratification and the manipulation that goes along with it. I'll help you to recognize and work your way through to a better outcome for you and the addict. So, stay tuned and get out your pen……I'm here to help!

Venting Our Stress Over the Election

This is a shit show.
This is a time to heal. For many of us who did not vote for Trump, we were blindsided and sickened by the results. This is a time for feeling your feelings and not for healing. In this show, we will go over how we all feel. You’ll better understand that it will take time to make sense of this. We simply can't just move on. We need a plan and some sort of understanding. My hope hashing some of this out will help in the long run. Take the time to listen, vent, and talk.
Namaste

Religion, Spirituality, and Goodness

I’m not a religious person you may say, but I’m curious about what comes next, or I need something to believe in.  We have all had these moments and we feel that it’s an all-or-nothing topic, whether you're a churchgoer or an atheist. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In this podcast, we will chart this course for what it can be, peace. Please take a listen and a deep breath as we broach this sensitive subject …

Choosing to Have Children or Not

Having a child is a bigger decision than getting married. Who you have a child with is far more important than who you marry. In my travels and relationships, I decided that having a child wasn’t part of my life decision. This was further complicated by years of problems from endometriosis. Deciding and being ok with having or not having children can be complicated and stressful. In this podcast, we will review the dynamics and thoughts leading to this difficult decision.  So, tune in and pay attention this could be you.
