The average American spends almost 70 minutes a day following the news in some fashion.  It dominates our conversations, sets political agendas and shapes our view of people and the world. So why is the news so negative?  

As a former broadcast professional, I have a unique perspective on this topic.  If you feel more pessimistic and panicked and less informed and calm after consuming news than this episode is for you.  More and more people are feeling this way.  You are definitely NOT alone!  I'll explain the two main reasons why I think the news is so negative.  I'll also give you two strategies to help you strike a balance between being informed and feeling overwhelmed. 

I believe we all have a responsibility to be informed but it shouldn't come at the cost of your mental health.

About The Host:

For nearly two decades of her life, Pamela Hughes had a microphone in front of her face. After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in broadcast journalism, she started her news career with a brief stint in western Wisconsin before making her way back to the Grand Canyon State.  In Phoenix, Pamela quickly climbed the newsroom ladder and started teaching the next generation of journalists at ASU.  She knows what it’s like to chase the big story as a journalist, inform an audience as an anchor, and oversee an entire operation as a news director.  She spent the final six years of her news career as the only female talk show host in Phoenix.

While Pamela loved connecting with her audience and bringing them the big stories of the day,  the grind and negativity of the news cycle took its toll.  In an effort to help navigate the growing emotional demands of her high profile career, the desire to be an exceptional mom and a great wife, Pamela got a Life Coach.   That one decision changed her life.

Her coach helped her discover the hidden power of thoughts.  She started to manage her mind and was amazed at how that transformed her life.  Pamela decided to quit telling people what was wrong in the world and started to help people discover what was right within their own world.

Now, Pamela  helps people take back their power to create the life they once envisioned for themselves. Her primary focus is on creating an awareness of how you're thinking so you can create the results you want. Whether you're are stuck in life or their career, she can help you finally take the action you've been putting off.
