In this episode I briefly share where my mind is at, but also encourage you to shift your mindset, remember who you are, and why you can trust yourself in the face of the unknown. If we strip away our identities, roles, and what we do, what is left? Our character. It is is our character that reminds us who we are and what we have survived. Don't let the anxiety trick you into thinking you cannot handle this or that you are not safe. YOU CAN and YOU ARE. I'm here if you anyone needs support. Hit me up!

Alan Watts said “Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth." Well, I turned 40 last month and I have been "biting my teeth" trying to find a way to share my journey in a meaningful way that won't take a zillion hours. Here it goes! Hope you enjoy...also, if you have a story/topic that you want to jam on the show please reach out and connect with me. This space was created for other peoples light to shine!

A quick New Years Eve message for all you beautiful people! Remember to make goals, resolutions and intentions from a place of worthiness NOT lack. You lack nothing. You are everything and made in this world just so and totally capable to accomplish all you need and want! Much love and peace in 2020!

In this episode I discuss the importance of setting boundaries with social media, and I encourage you to take a social media break if you are feeling burned out. Boundaries are for your well-being and protection. Boundaries are personal rules and rights that you guide your life by and let others know what you will and won’t do. In regards to social media, think of them like an “out of office” reply. You are letting people know what is up with you and when they can expect a response.

It's my 9 year wedding anniversary today! And my husband, Ken, has been my greatest teacher! In this quick episode I share my thoughts on how I had to learn to do marriage, and that it's an ever evolving lesson in my life. Thank you for listening and the well wishes!

Dr. P checks in with a good word and reminds you to DO YOU with your life, and to stop trying to be a version of yourself that makes other people feel comfortable.

Often when we see successful people, we only see the accolades or accomplishments. We rarely ask or see the story behind it. In this quick episode, I briefly share what my accomplishments represent but also encourage you all to keep doing the work. No effort ever goes wasted and what you give out will always come back, maybe not in the same form it was given but it will always come back. I truly feel that my life is a testimony to the power of persistence, grit, nonstop effort and believing beyond limitation.
