  • The Positive Point S:2 E:3- Acceptance
    Over the past year endless opportunities to learn have presented themselves, but perhaps none is as important as acceptance. Our society has embedded labels and stereotypes into our heads to the point where we don't even make an effort to see people for who they truly are. Join Rachel and I in a conversation about this and what effects that can have on individuals. Come along on the journey of pealing off these labels and encouraging others to achieve what they're meant to do, instead of hindering their abilities.

  • The Positive Point S:2 E:2- Forgiveness
    Forgiveness is something that we don't give much thought to in our day to day life, but in this episode I had a conversation with Alexa about how impactful it can be. Who knew a simple word could be so hard to actually achieve, but it's through the forgiveness we have received through God that we shall give it to others. Don't hold people back from what they're capable of, let go of the grudges and demolish the invisible barrier that you place in front of your own path. Join Alexa and I in discussing the importance of forgiveness.
