As women are we doing all we can to ensure our wants and needs are met in the bedroom? Do we have any culpability at all in our dissatisfaction or should our partners come to the game fully informed and prepared? 

Anyone who knows me well can tell you I have a very dim view of our current social media environment.  And my distaste for it has grown exponentially since this episode was recorded in 2016. That year alone, nearly 45,000 Americans took their own lives and there is more than enough anecdotal if not outright causal examples of the role the social media played in those deaths. While this in an interesting conversation, look forward to an updated version in the near future. 

Additional reused content from the Honestly Speaking/Honestly Dawn podcast days. Hear Hector and I talk about words, how we use them, the power they give and the power they take away.

Hear Ray talk about fighting to get into the corps, fighting to stay in the corps, the physical challenges that eventually drove him out and the creative methods he used, first to save his own sanity, then later to help others in typical Marine brotherhood fashion. Ray is such a shining example of that spirit and fortitude that drives so many Heroes. A joy to talk to and a great friend to have.

The words we use especially in the way of labeling ourselves or others can have an incredibly powerful, long lasting and too often extremely detrimental impact on our lives. 

In this episode Hector and I attempt to make a semantic distinction between the labels of Confidence, Vanity and Narcissism. As always these conversations were fun to record, enjoyable to relisten to and hopefully helpful or at least entertaining to our listeners.

One of Hero Harbor's most fervent fans, Matt tells of his military journey and why he so strongly believes in and champions HH's mission.

This interview is a couple years old, but the information is still relevant and interesting as Gary gives us insight into the troubled minds behind  some of our country's most memorable events. Gary was the lead negotiator at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. He also took an advisory roll in the making of the recent mini series recounting that event.
