Many people joke "oh, I'm OCD about this" well for many who live with this disorder, it's not a joke. Our guest today Tori Chavira is a mental health advocate who struggled with a obsessive compulsive disorder, commonly referred to as OCD. After hitting rock bottom and seeking treatment, Tori joined the NOCD team. An organization that offers online therapy for obsessive compulsive disorder, a severe, prevalent and misunderstood mental health condition.

Tori is a wealth of information and someone who has dedicated herself to helping others and removing the stigmas associated with seeking treatment.

Key Takeaway: recovery is possible, you don’t have to live your life according to OCD’s rules. You’re not alone.

Who doesn't love the idea of a mountain of gifts under the tree? When you're trying to raise children to be grateful and appreciative how do you handle the gift giving process? Do you shower them and let it be part of the experience? Or do you temper the gift giving to teach that less can sometimes be more? 

We are navigating this uncharted territory and would love any insights our audience has when it comes to handling this for the holiday season, with family members and during birthdays. Drop us your insider tips on our most recent IG post @elevatethevibe

For many of us, our pets are more than just pets, they are family. However, it's not always an easy transition to bring a pet into the home with young children, or bringing a newborn baby home when you have a pet who is use to receiving your one on one attention. In this episode we discuss these transitions and how to handle them. It can be a little nerve wracking at times, but always worth while to see your four legged and two legged family members bond.

The birth story. This episode was very difficult to record and share. We hesitated sharing this for numerous reasons, as it's personal, it was difficult and it's traumatic to talk through again. 

Everyone who has given birth has a story. If you're open to sharing your story, feel free to share with us on our most recent IG post @elevatethevibe
