Try Not To Overthink It

Hey guys it's RJ, Unique, and Kalhil! In today's episode we're going to be discussing Having a Support System. For all of us there comes a time when we strike out and may want to accomplish things on our own. Most times, this feeling can be liberating and other times it can create a sense of loneliness. Life was not meant to be experienced alone and that's where a support system comes into play. It doesn't make you weak or less than to rely on others around you, as having others who are there for you through think and thin is a point of strength and should not be seen as a point of weakness. Having people in your corner that you can trust and turn to when you're in need can help you manage everyday struggles, work through a crisis, or make difficult decision. A support system can take many different forms and can include people such as family, friends, significant others, as well as colleagues. The point of a support system is to both keep you grounded as well as keep you headed in the right direction. When times get tough, your support system is what will help you navigate and get through it all. Our hope is that our listeners will get something from this deep, honest, and real conversation from the viewpoint of both a Licensed Professional Counselors and a Licensed Social Worker.

Hey guys it's RJ, Unique, and Kalhil! In today's episode we're going to be discussing Taking Your Relationship to the Next Level. When it comes to relationships, there are certain expectations that should be met if you want to deepen your connection and see your relationship both grow and thrive. For many of us with our busy lives, we can easily forget what is important in a relationship and what isn’t; we might focus on certain tangible aspects of the other person such as what kind of job they have, how much money they make, what kind of car they drive, or how sexy their body is. Although these things are good qualities to have in a partner, a relationship isn’t built on superficial things. Our hope is that our listeners will get something from this deep, honest, and real conversation from the viewpoint of both a Licensed Professional Counselors and a Licensed Social Worker.

Hey guys it's RJ, Unique, and Kalhil! In today's episode we're going to be discussing Physical Intimacy. Regardless of if you're a woman or man. Heck, regardless of your sexual orientation we all know that physical intimacy with our partners can be an opportunity to deepen, strengthen, and reinforce our affection and love. It sometimes can even be a stressor in our relationships. When you share yourself with your partner through physical affection or sex that is an opportunity for us to connect on a deeper level than words alone. Physical intimacy is about touching and closeness of our bodies. In a romantic relationship it could include things like hand holding, hugging, kissing, and most importantly sex. A relationship doesn't have to be romantic or sexual to have physical intimacy. Something simply as a high five, a fist bump, or a hug can suffice. Our hope is that our listeners will get something from this deep, honest, and real conversation from the viewpoint of both a Licensed Professional Counselors and a Licensed Social Worker.

Hey guys it's RJ, Unique, and Kalhil! In today's episode we're going to be discussing Double Standards. We find ourselves residing in an extremely progressive society. With that being said as far as we’ve progressed as a society in establishing equality numerous unaddressed issues remain as hurdles in our path to complete impartiality and equality. It goes without saying that these injustices apply to all genders, races, and backgrounds, regardless of one’s identity. These injustices continue to cause both separation and division in our society as long as we allow them to exist as normalized patterns of behavior. It ultimately begs the question, "If we truly are equal if the same things aren't applicable to everyone?"

Hey guys it's RJ, Chasmine, and Kalhil!  In today’s episode we're going to be discussing the Dangers of the Internet and Social Media. We find ourselves in a  society where we're constantly inundated with messages via our smart devices. The internet and by extension social media, have become pathways where we can be whoever we imagine ourselves to be. These platforms have turned into places where you can find yourself  constantly wearing a mask. This doesn’t mean you’re not yourself, but rather the most ideal version of yourself. Where you may attempt to come across that you’re endlessly happy or attempt to hide the parts of yourself that don’t make you feel that way.  By living a life broadcasted over the internet, it gives people  unfettered and unrestricted access to both you and your loved ones. This can have negative consequences, as not all attention is good attention.

Hey guys it’s Unique and RJ! In today’s episode we're going to be discussing Standards. They are what guide us as well as what help to keep us on track. Without standards we would find ourselves drifting aimlessly or potentially lost altogether. Standards can be applicable to both the personal and professional arenas of our lives. It has been our experience that in order to have a fulfilling life a person has to identify their standards, be willing to stick to them, and readjust them as necessary all the while balancing them against their expectations.

We all find ourselves wanting to start the new year as a new version of ourselves, not realizing that the things that are stopping us from achieving this are the bad habits that we bring with us from the previous year.
