In this week's episode we talk about the very opposite of healthy boundaries and address what some unhealthy boundaries look like!  I discuss  some examples and help people realize and identify what those unhealthy boundaries are in the hopes that people will change course and make adjustments in their lives to thrive!  TRIGGER WARNING:  A Bible verse was used in the making of this episode, but as I have said before, I will only really use these as a means to help people realize something about themselves and make people self-examine their own thought-life, patterns, and behaviors!  And above all, I want people to be encouraged by these verses and feel great once life is spoken into them!

      In this week's episode, we discuss healthy boundaries and how to set them!  We define what makes a boundary healthy and what makes them good!  If the boundary isn't life-giving or life-changing for the better, it's probably not a good boundary!  We discuss why we need boundaries in our lives and in relationships and finally we also dive into the consequences of not having healthy boundaries.

Greetings!  This week, we talked about cross addictions.  We cover in today's episode: 

• What cross addictions are
• How it's defined 
• Why people choose cross addictions
• How it can lead to a depraved state
• How cross addictions feed off of each other
• Treatment and Help

The reality is that cross addictions tend to happen by accident and are not always the fault of the addict, but with the right timing of love, encouragement, grace, and intervention you can help the addict get the help they need before they slip deeper into their addictions and behaviors.  Realize that this condition is a byproduct of an impulse control disorder.  Have grace with those who are struggling and encourage them to get help!

In this week's episode we talk about positive thinking, what it is, why it's important to pursue, and how we can go about practicing positive thinking in order to heal and overcome negative thoughts.  We also discover the health benefits of thinking positively and adjusting our mindset in order to make positive thinking part of our belief system that drives our actions and even our physical health.  Questions to ponder for this week are:

1) Who is easier to forgive:  yourself or others?

2)  Do you believe that your mindset and positive thinking can drive you to action?

Whew!  This one is my longest podcast yet and it's jam packed with all kinds of statistics on social media and its impact on our mental health as well as some of the positive outcomes if we choose to NOT consume as much social media and instead, choose real-life friends and social interactions in place of media!  Some of those experiences that are the by-product of social media are: inadequacy, isolation, depression and anxiety, and self-absorption to name a few.  But we also tackle ways in which to clean ourselves and live a life a bit more unplugged from our screens and social media!

     In this week's episode I decided to try something a little different!  I've decided to review a book!  In this episode, I expand a bit more on the subject of shame and what better way to expand on shame than to review a book that is precisely on that very subject?  This week, I talk about why I recommend this book and who I would recommend this book to in order to understand the deeper concepts behind shame.  I also briefly talk about the background of the author and his personal testimony and ministry.
