This week Jimmy Chunga from Radio Ronin talks about how he battles with SAD. Seasonal affective disorder is a condition that he was diagnosed with while on the air as a DJ in Salt Lake. He and Ang talk about ways they have overcome what some call “the winter blues.”

You can find Chunga on RadioRonin.com and playing dance music on Bash Music each Saturday through Spreaker.com.

This week we are talking about moving out of one of the most destructive modes that we can get in, self-pity. Feeling down or sorry for yourself will happen, but there are ways to make sure you don’t stay there.  We have all been there multiple times, and life can get you down. You mustn't stay there.

Today more than ever, everyone and everything try to steal our time. It is important to understand how to say no. A simple but powerful work that often has a very negative connotation to it. We share reasons why we should all be embracing the word NO. Be sure that you let us know how you say NO or a recent time you have said to others.

There is a line between being an optimist and putting out toxic positivity. We talk about how you need to be accepting of how someone truly feels about what they are experiencing. It is ok to not be happy all the time and keep repeating that it’s going to be fine. We talk about how the “Good Vibes” only philosophy can be destructive towards others.

Be sure to let us know if you have experienced any of these on:

Welcome to our final episode of 2020! To wrap up what a listener called “Deep Dive December,” we are talking about the process of reinventing yourself. We share ideas on how to tackle this with a method to help you stay the course.

What you say to yourself is the most important conversation that you have each day. It is time to be more compassionate with yourself and reframe the conversation. 

Be sure you let us know what are positive things that you are saying to yourself:

We discuss the five types of Imposter Syndrome this week and which ones we identify with. In this “fake it until you make it” world, it becomes difficult to tell what is real and what isn’t on social media. It’s essential to understand its effects on our self-perceptions.

Each of us has a way that we perceive ourselves. As we wrap up the year and start to think about how we want to set goals and make changes for next year, we have done what Eian likes to call "deep work" and examine ourselves. What do we think about ourselves? This is a more formidable challenge than you make think.

Our friend Gregg from Gregg's Guide to New Music here on the Radio Ronin Network stops by. We talk about what started him into music, his newest musical purchase and ghost hunting.
