In this episode, I am overcoming the lack of a computer and bypassing perfection to bring you a fire conversation. I feel confident I can speak for the majority of us when I say that we all have an inner mean girl that we just wish to punch in the face. Well, while punching her in the face might make us feel better it doesn't mean she goes away. 

So how do we get her to vacate the premises? Listen in!

It is pretty much officially summer and we all know what that means even if we are not saying it or talking about it. That means that it is the time where we are all looking to go to the beach or the pool, it is hot out so we are wearing less clothing. This means that more of our bodies are going to be showing. 

Now this might not sit the same with all of us. We all have our own feelings about this, however, some of us might find it more difficult than others. So, I am here today to talk about if that someone is you just how you can turn your frown upside down when you think about putting on a swim suite or a slinky sun dress and get out there and squeeze the most of out of your life. 

**the episode I reference here is #4 all the way back from the beginning**

We are mad! We are all angry! We are upset and down right frustrated at time. It is normal that we want someone to blame. We want to know who is responsible for all of this and when we have something outside ourselves to point the finger at it just seems easier. 

But it isn't really all that much easier. However, I want to dig deeper into this idea of blame and who we should be blaming and who we should be more gentle with.
