Below, I included a list of gratitude questions, I discussed in the podcast, as well as links to the articles I referenced, and my previously recorded podcasts, episode #15 and #25.
Please take a few minutes to listen to today’s PEP Talk – Habit of Gratitude – Episode #30, and I encourage you to do one thing today purposefully to attain true PEP for life.

Welcome to today’s PEP Talk – Q-TIP – Episode #28.

- PEP Talk – I Choose – Episode #27
Welcome to today’s PEP Talk – I Choose – Episode #27.
It is important to use language of empowerment versus restraint. Individuals often times incorrectly use the words “I can’t” when, in fact, they can (they are capable) they are simply choosing not to. I cite an interesting research study that demonstrates the influence of words with regards to food choices.
