In this episode I go over some changes to the podcast, my plans moving forward, and how a particular book helped me identify things I had never considered.

Below are links to resources I mention in this episode:

Suicide & Crisis Hotline: https://988lifeline.org/current-events/the-lifeline-and-988/

Jackson MacKenzie's Book, Whole Again: Healing Your Heart and Rediscovering Your True Self After Toxic Relationships and Emotional Abuse: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/whole-again-jackson-mackenzie/1128509269

A guest and I have a conversation about why people find "love" in the wrong places and what people can do to find the love we all want. We touch on a few things - role models, boundaries, self-worth, and childhood traumas.

Trigger warning: Domestic violence.

Book Mentioned: Psychopath Free by Jackson MacKenzie

Hey everybody,

Welcome to It's Only Life; So Breathe where you get to join me as I navigate through life and all of the paths that cross mine. We'll explore the good, the bad and everything in between - relationships, parenting, mental health, addictions, work - nothing is off the table. Like Tupac said, "If you can make it through the night, there's a brighter day". This is your weekly reminder that no matter what you're going through, it's only life; so breathe.
