PoolePRoof Wisdom

In this Conversations episode of the podcast, Charles discusses Mental Health Awareness Month with guests from Saint Louis Counseling, including the importance of mental health, the challenges of maintaining it, and some of the stigmas society associates with mental health issues.

I'm excited to announce an expansion of the PooleProof Wisdom podcast with PooleProof Wisdom: Conversations!  This new format is all about conversations with people whose stories and experiences reflect the podcast's interest in discussions of spirituality, personal development, resilience, self-awareness and self-respect, and human collaboration.

In this inaugural Conversations episode, which will run regularly, alternating with the standard podcast, I have a thought-provoking and inspiring conversation with Selwyn Jones, a civil rights activist and the uncle of George Floyd, about race, loss, turning tragedy into triumph, and a host of other topics that are worth hearing and considering.

In this episode, Charles discusses the importance of creating a place for yourself when other places don't welcome you.  And while you're at it, he encourages, find others in need of a place and bring them along too.

Do you have trust issues?  A lot of people do.  But not a lot of people realize that the first person they've failed to trust is themselves, which is why they are not easily convinced to trust others.  In this episode, Charles addresses his own issues with trusting himself and others, and how he eventually arrived at a place where he's able to do both.

In this episode, Charles explains why relying on instinct is important, and how doing so can give everyone what they need to live the life they hope for and dream of.  Sharing how following his own instincts has influenced his life, he provides some interesting and insightful reasons that, like always, will make you think, and perhaps act, differently.

In this episode, Charles delivers a message to his 10-year-old self that is warm, loving, and more than anything, hopeful.  

Has the pandemic left you feeling without purpose, with no sense of passion about anything?  You're not alone.  In this episode, Charles discusses how to reconnect with your purpose and discover your passion despite the way the pandemic has left so many feeling hopelessness. These approaches, he says, apply to facing any challenge life will inevitably hand us along the way.

In this episode, Charles discusses how, despite all the signs and ideas to the contrary, there is reason to believe in better for the world and all of us who live in it.  But first, he addresses some thoughts on how we got here followed by several insights about how we'll get where we're ultimately destined to go.
