Spring is finally here and with it, the feeling of new beginnings.

It’s an inside job, and only you can do it. In this episode, Garth and Dara walk you through ways you can spring clean your life and help yourself feel your best.

Everyone experiences some kind of fear. It’s important to learn how to manage fear and the benefits of finding faith.

In this very emotional episode, which you MUST listen to until you get to the end, Garth and Dara are very open about their experiences. Garth

shares a very personal story, one he has never said to anyone, and one he didn’t plan on discussing on the podcast.

It might bring you to tears, as it did to him when we were recording. At the very least, you’ll think about your own life and where faith fits in.

Episode 36: How to Deal with Negative Feelings when Something Bad Happens

We like to talk about positivity and happy thoughts here, but sometimes it’s important to recognize life isn’t always going to be unicorns and rainbows. In this honest episode, Garth and Dara talk about what to do when life tosses you a really hard situation and you’re forced to deal with something you don’t want. Example: cancer. What do you do when you are faced with something you don’t want to have to deal with? When negative feelings surface? How can you help yourself get through it? Life presents us with good and bad moments, easy and difficult situations, and we feel it’s important to know how to be resilient and help yourself get through those especially challenging times.
