When making decisions, big and small, there are a lot of things to consider and we can sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed and confused. When we separate our feelings and our facts and give them the air time they both need we are able to make a decision from a clear mind.

In this episode I break down the process of decision making.

When I first heard the phrase "Depression can sometimes be repressed anger", it was like the stars aligned. I couldn't unsee the things I was angry about, but often I was told that "that's just how it is" or that there are bigger problems or that it wasn't actually a problem so I would then try not to be angry and would then find myself on the slippery slope down to feeling like there was no hope.

In this episode I share how this has come up for me and some tips and tricks on how to work through it.

Sometimes when you ask someone a question that they don't know the answer to then it can trigger them to be defensive. Rather than say, sorry I don't know ask so and so they may call you stupid or say that you should know and work it out for yourself in an aggressive way.

In this episode I go through what to do if you find yourself in this situation.

This episode is about unsubscribing from things we "have to do" or "should do". Society has these low-lying annoyance things that we have been told we must do, but do we really have to do them? some maybe, but most definitely not all of them.

Often, when we interact with someone, their emotional state is left over from their last interaction or from earlier in the day and is not about you (which is often the path our brain goes down). In this episode, I go through some tips and tricks on how to separate yourself from other people's emotions because, honestly, they most likely are not about you.

When you walk into a workplace that has its values written on the wall and one of them is "flexibility" you would imagine that you would be able to ask for some adjustments in your work hours and be respected and treated equally while taking those adjustments, but that is not always the case. In my experience, about half the companies that preach flexibility actually give it and the other half use it as a tactic to get people in and then punish them for taking flexibility that they originally offered.

In this episode, I talk about how this can come up. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution for you right now but I do have a few things you can try to see if they can create some change in your situation.
