Welcome to the Simply Straight Talk Podcast with your host Angelique and Reggie.

Everyone encounters challenging times in their lives. I think we can all agree that you never know what life will throw at you. Life is one huge mountain of ups and downs. There will be times when you feel like you’re on top of the world, while other times, you may feel like you’re at rock bottom. Most of us will walk on both ends of the spectrum at some point in our lives.

Living and dealing with the unknown makes the journey through life equally rewarding and traumatic at times. Some people may be in for a rude awakening, if they believe that life is easy, and setbacks are easy to overcome.

When terrible things happen, it’s natural to feel down. Mentally you may even fall into the trap of assuming that things will never get better. Unfortunately, this mindset is the very thing that keeps so many people stuck in one place and drowning in depression.
