New Year, New You.....Right?
Goal planning and self-assessment are powerful tools for personal growth and achievement. By clearly defining our goals, we create a roadmap for success, which helps us stay focused and motivated. Self-assessment allows us to reflect on our progress, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and make necessary adjustments along the way. One of the most effective practices in goal-setting is writing down your goals, as it transforms abstract desires into concrete objectives. This simple act of writing helps manifest your intentions by reinforcing your commitment and clarifying your vision. In this episode I discuss these practices.

In a time that is typically associated with joy, togetherness, and celebration, domestic violence  often increases during the holiday season. Experts have said the pressure to meet societal expectations of family togetherness, gift-giving, and financial stability can create stress, frustration, and conflict, which may escalate into abusive behavior. Abusers may use the holiday season as an opportunity to exert control over their victims, manipulating them emotionally or physically under the guise of maintaining "family traditions" or appearances. 

In this episode I discuss domestic violence during the holidays, the signs to look out for and how to get help.

Despite spending more on healthcare than any other nation, the U.S. consistently lags behind in key metrics like life expectancy, access to care, and overall population health. One concerning aspect is the salary disparity within nonprofit hospitals, where many CEOs are earning salaries in the millions, raising questions about the ethical implications of such high compensation in institutions that are meant to serve the public good. In this episode of I discuss the perceptions of the U.S. Healthcare system compared to its realities.

Thanksgiving, as a national holiday in the United States, continues to be celebrated each year, but it is increasingly being questioned due to its origins rooted in violent colonialism and the displacement of Indigenous peoples. While the holiday is often framed as a time for giving thanks and enjoying family gatherings, it is important to acknowledge that its origins was part of a broader pattern of colonization that led to the genocide and forced assimilation of Indigenous communities. The celebration of Thanksgiving often overlooks the suffering and loss endured by Native Americans, whose land and cultures were violently taken from them in the centuries following. In this episode I discuss this history and question why we are still continuing to celebrate Thanksgiving

When it comes to funeral services in the U.S., the costs seem almost designed to catch families off guard. With average burial expenses soaring between $7,000 and $12,000 and cremation services still running between $3,000 and $7,000, one can't help but wonder who really benefits from such prices. The Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule is supposed to ensure transparency, but does it truly level the playing field, or just create the illusion of choice?
