  • The Positive Point S:1 E:5- The Power Of Music
    This week I decided to sit down with a good friend of mine from High School and discuss a passion we both have… music. Megan is such an outstanding person and you can really tell how influential music has been to her life. I hope you’re able to discover the one song that you hold close to your heart and figure out how influential music has been in your own world!

  • The Positive Point S:1 E:4- Stepping Back
    Sit down and enjoy Episode 3 of The Positive Point! For this episode I decided to do something different, instead of bringing a guest on I sat down and talked about my life and how it has been these past couple of months. I hope you're able to recognize the importance of stepping back in situations and also finding your way of escaping from the real world. It's good to be busy, but sometimes you just have to take time for yourself.
