  • Episode 48: Anger and Triggers

    Do you think anger is a negative feeling? Chico and Shannon discuss how we all

    FEEL anger as some point and time in life because it is just a feeling. Shannon used

    to have such a negative view on anger not wanting her boys to be angry or herself to

    be quick to anger. They discuss how to recognize anger for what it is, feel it and then

    know how to diffuse it so it doesn’t turn to rage. They also discuss how to determine

    what your triggers are for anger and how to recognize those and then work through

    them. A lot of unhealthy behaviors, including substance abuse, can stem from

    suppressing anger. Check out the blog referenced in this episode at

  • Episode 47: Jamie Vance

    Join Chico and Shannon as they discuss how to go about marketing a company and

    getting direction from the outside and be open to a plan. We all can have blinders on

    in certain areas of running a business and just need some encouragement to look

    outside the box and take some direction from someone outside of the business.

    Jamie has been doing this for years concentrating on the treatment industry but the

    tips are good for any industry. Find more about Jamie in this YouTube video

    interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMvuoxo4c68

  • Episode 46: We All Get Restless

    Do you know the definition of restlessness? It is the inability to rest or relax as a

    result of anxiety or boredom. Chico and Shannon discuss how we all get restless at

    some point and time in life but we have no idea how to identify that is what we are

    feeling; therefore don’t think we suffer from it. Shannon and Chico both realized

    they struggled with restlessness. They also realized that both of their boys struggled

    with it too. They discuss how to recognize restlessness for what it is, feel it and then

    know how to diffuse it so it doesn’t turn to depression or substance abuse. Do you

    need to get to the root of restlessness? Do you need to at least admit that you might

    struggle with it? Take the challenge by listening to this episode and then letting us

    know if you are one that says you do not struggle with restlessness. We haven’t

    found anyone yet.
