Let’s talk about – Standing up for what it RIGHT!

These are important times – the world needs us.

WE can do this!

And as the lyrics from this week’s featured song says,

“It all means nothin’ if you don’t stand up for somethin’!”

Here’s a great verse from the song -

“Stand up for something” by Adra Day ft Common:

You do the best that, do the best that you can do

Then you can look in the mirror

Proud of who's looking back at you

Define the life you're living

Not by what you take or what you're givin'

And if you bet on love there's no way you'll ever lose

Take a stand, make a stand for what's right

It's always worth, always worth the fight

Join Kelly for this special hour-long edition as she talks to psychologist Dr. Sarah MacAulay about Self-Care in the Post-Turth, Post-Truth world!

Recent political realities are leaving a lot of people particularly stressed and anxious without much time to recover between the constant barrage and break-neck speeds of the current news cycle. Now more than ever we need tangible self-care tips and tools to survive and thrive in this increasingly confusing world where some people argue against truth and facts to suit their biases while others fan the flames of division and “othering”.

Intro song:

Goddess by Iggy Azaela

Featured song:

Follow Your Arrow by Kacey Musgraves

If you save yourself for marriage

You're a bore

If you don't save yourself for marriage

You're a whore-able person

If you won't have a drink

Then you're a prude

But they'll call you a drunk

As soon as you down the first one

If you can't lose the weight

Then you're just fat

But if you lose too much

Then you're on crack

You're damned if you do

And you're damned if you don't

So you might as well just do

Whatever you want

So

Make lots of noise

Kiss lots of boys

Or kiss lots of girls

If that's something you're into

When the straight and narrow

Gets a little too straight

Roll up a joint, or don't

Just follow your arrow

Wherever it points, yeah

Follow your arrow

Wherever it points

If you don't go to church

You'll go to hell

If you're the first one

On the front row

You're self-righteous

Son of a-

Can't win for losing

You'll just disappoint 'em

Just 'cause you can't beat 'em

Don't mean you should join 'em

So make lots of noise

Kiss lots of boys

Or kiss lots of girls

If that's something you're into

When the straight and narrow

Gets a little too straight

Roll up a joint, or don't

Just follow your arrow

Wherever it points, yeah

Follow your arrow

Wherever it points

Say what you think

Love who you love

'Cause you just get

So many trips 'round the sun

Yeah, you only

Only live once

So make lots of noise

Kiss lots of boys

Or kiss lots of girls

If that's what you're into

When the straight and narrow

Gets a little too straight

Roll up a joint, I would

And follow your arrow

Wherever it points, yeah

Follow your arrow

Wherever it points
