as the days get shorter and more gloomy and the weather gets colder, it can be fairly common to start to experience "winter blues" or a form of seasonal depression. this week I am talking about habits I am implementing in order to be proactive in my mental health and to attempt to prevent the depression that I experience in the winters.

Your mindset matters! I know this is such a cliche, but over the last few months I've realized just how true this statement is. In this episode, we cover why I took a break from recording, what exactly mindset is, and how to go from a fixed to a growth mindset.

This is a sensitive/touchy topic for many people, myself included. I've been going through a lot of growth and change in my religious/spiritual beliefs and what I've learned is that I know nothing! So join me this week as I discuss what my current beliefs are, how I was raised, and my overall religious experience.
