I Got Problems!

"Insanity is defined as the habit of doing the same things over and over again while expecting a different result." 

Modus Operandi (M.O): The toxic person in a relationship is always trying to gain total control over a situation. They’re always right and you’re always wrong. This kind of person will think nothing of invading your space and may try to isolate you from others you are close to. That’s not love, It’s toxic.

Join us this episode as we dig in to the various reasons people stay in toxic relationships with family, friends and partners. Understand why and how to leave if necessary.

Poverty: A vast category of problems that originate from various sources. But why is a first world country like the USA still dealing with a large amount of poverty coupled with low income and a high cost of living? This is now exacerbated due to the Corona Virus pandemic and the high unemployment rate that is now continuously multiplying in the millions as quarantine weeks go by. Today we touch on these points and offer solutions and resources.
