  • Happiness is a state of mind

    I am BACK and I am BETTER (as everyone always says), but no joke I am back. And also no joke, I am better. 

    So far this year, I have been pushed to change my perspective on the life I want to lead. In my book, that starts with happiness. 

    Are you happy? How do you become happy? I know the answer to that question in my own life. Listen in, and maybe you'll be able to answer that question for yourself. <3

  • Forgiving People Who Have Hurt Us
    Being able to find forgiveness is one of the most important parts of healing from your trauma, despite how difficult it is. In this episode, I talk about was able to forgive my mother, after she stood beside her ex-husband when I revealed that he abused me throughout my childhood; leaving me in Foster Care for 4 years. To things that seem completely unforgivable, I also talk about the inability to forgive those who have hurt us, when the trauma is just too big.
