  • Why We Need to Be Better At Being Authentic
    Recently, I posted an update on Facebook about school picture days, and how they encourage false narratives when it comes to our kids. In this week's episode, I talk about why we need to be better, and more consistent, when it comes to being authentic in life.

  • Why We Need to Let Kids Be Kids
    As parents, we can add pressure to the lives of our kids without realizing it. Instead of enjoying life as a kid, they're worrying about approval from us instead, and it's harming their growth. In this week's show, I chat about why we need to recognize the signs of our kids feeling pressure, and how we can redress this before it's too late.

  • Uber, the NFL, and Convenience Over Ethics
    Over the years, Uber and the NFL have come under scrutiny for their unethical practices. From misogynistic and threatening behaviour to women, to abusing employees and more, both companies have suffered major PR scandals.
    And yet we continue to support them. Why? The topic of this week's show.

  • Why We Need to Be The Connected
    What if, regardless of our religious, cultural, and political beliefs, we had that one single thing in common that connects us? And, if we did have that connection, we could use that as a starting block to find other things we have in common and, by doing so, realize we’re not that different after all?

  • Abortion Rights - The War on Women Needs to Stop
    There's currently a war on women being waged in the US, with abortion rights being the battlefield.
    In episode 27 of Life Through a Dram, I talk about why this war has no place in the 21st century, and why we need to support women with every ounce of strength we have.

  • When We Use the Wrong Kind of Glue
    We make our own bonds, but sometimes we use the wrong kind of glue. All in the name of loyalty.
    Because there is something inherently good about loyalty – after all, who doesn’t want to be the one that others count on and never let down? – it makes it easier to screw up.
    And that’s okay, because none of us are perfect.

  • Love People, and Use Things
    In episode 25 of Life Through a Dram, I talk about how we need to shift the focus from things to people. Marketers and advertisers have led us down a consumer-driven path of needing things to make us feel validated, but as I discuss in this week's show, that seeking of validation is misplaced.
