Big Time Small Talk

So many of us over think!  Overthinking seals our joy!  So how do we stop.  Jodi shares what she used to do, overthink, and how she stopped.  You can to!

The country has been glued to their screens; obsessed with the story of Gabby Petito, the young woman who had been traveling the country in a van with her fiance.  First, reported missing then found dead. and her death is being called a homicide. Why are we obsessed?  Is it because we can see this young girl's life on social media and it looked picture perfect?  What does our obsession with having access to people we don't even know, via social media do to us as a society.  Jodi takes a look at the case and why we are so into it.

It is true! We are the most cruel to ourselves! How we talk to ourselves matters. We say things to ourselves that we would never say to a friend or relative. How we view and compare what is happening in other people's lives matters too.  Jodi shares some personal stories from her life and a clip from the Drew Barrymore show that drive these points home.

It has been 20 years since that fateful day.  Jodi reflects on that day and shares the story of Kenny Caldwell, the person she lost on that day. #NeverForget
