Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn here. –Marianne Williamson

This is Us…Risa’s favorite show on TV and she just had to talk about the episode called The Trip.

Hear her candidly share her own recent struggle with fear and learn 3 tips for moving from fear back to love.

Are you operating from fear in certain things in your life? Be candid with yourself and start 2017 with a commitment to change it.

As huge fan of the musical, Hamilton, Risa invites you to Talk Less….Listen More. As Risa stated in Episode 000, though this is not a political podcast, many of our relationships are being impacted by the divisive election campaign and results of 2016. Holiday gatherings are contentious, adult children aren’t talking to their parents and friendships are being challenged. In this episode, Risa invites you to find ways to talk less, listen more and gain a deeper understanding of those who have different view-points than yours so that we can maintain connections and grow stronger together even when we disagree.
