As the administrator of a school, there are many times when students try to lie in order to, either get away with something, or to not get in trouble. Today we talk about why being honest is a better philosophy than lieing... even if there is a consequence looming.

School is starting up again... That means getting up early, homework, and having to maintain relationships. Today Summer and I discuss a couple of items from the media, an article and a video, that can help you from your thinking as you head back to school. Here are links to the article and the video.

I think that everyone has had the experience of wanting something very badly, then being disappointed when it doesn't happen. Today we talk about the benefits of becoming unattached to the outcome that you are desiring. This does not mean that you stop caring about things, but that because you don't need the outcome, you can remain more peaceful and happy as you work toward your goals.

There are a coupld of questions that we discuss on today's podcast. 

Listen to the conversation that comes on the heels of one of our council members who recently broke up with her boyfriend.

Do you have a list of things that you want to do or accomplish floating around in your head? Well, WRITE IT DOWN! Today we talk about the importance of writing down our goals and the things we would like to do or have. We also share some of the things that are on our own bucket lists.

Do you have a movie rating tolerance? What goes into your decision about whether or not a movie is appropriate for you? Today our council members talk about how they decide what content they are ok with and what they are not ok with when they go to see a movie. 

Sometimes we worry too much about what other people think about us. That worry can keep us from feeling confident about ourselves or can keep us from developing relationships with others. Today we discuss a few ways to manage that worry. 

School is out and summer vacations has begun. Some of our listeners will be looking for summer jobs in order to earn some extra money. This podcast is aimed at giving you some tips for looking for the job you desire.

We start out talking about gift ideas, but then we get a little off and end up talking about my childhood and I have a little advice for those who may be celebrating Father's Day without a dad around. So for those of you who have a father around, or don't, there is something valuable for you on today's podcast.

Summer vacation has started for many of our listeners, and we spend a few minutes talking about some fun ideas that can keep you entertained for the next few weeks. My favorite is to do some online math to keep your math skills fresh.
