In this episode we talk about what resiliency is as a mindset, attitude, and ultimately how we can adopt the resilient lifestyle.  The world is in a state of great turmoil right now, people are hurting, we are cut off from one another, infighting is rampant, and we are living more emotionally distanced than any generation in the modern era.  It's time to start working towards one another and together rather an against and away.  If you like this episode please give us a 5* rating and share this with your friends.

In this episode we dive into the easy accessibility of pornography and the challenges it poses to our children, our relationships, and our own development.  This is a topic we all have an opinion on and as parents its fairly universal.  As adults in intimate relationships our relationship with pornography takes on a very different dynamic.  In our current social structure everything is sexualized and yet there is no real education, engagement, or allowance for exploring or understanding sexuality.  The topic itself connotes a great deal of shame. Today we begin to scratch the surface of this epidemic.
