Beschreibung

St. Patricks Day really got me thinking of the years passed. You see, at the ripe old age of 45, this GenX-er finally understands that getting hammered on drinking holidays just isn't cool! I spent a decade in a St. Paddys loop. Every day was the same, like groundhogs day, if you can imagine being blackout drunk every single night. In this episode I explore how and why I got stuck in the alcoholic loop. I'm sure many of you can relate, as it was tough to fit in growing up. Many of us turned to drugs and alcohol to lower our inhibitions and become the life of the party. Had we only listened to Kermit when he sang! Some of us might still be stuck. I hope I can encourage you to break out of the substance abuse loop, as it's never too late! ----Here's my story----

Winter is Over! Turn Off The Bullshit & Go Outside

As winter fades into the rearview, it's the perfect time for a fresh start. In this episode, I dive into the significance of embracing the changing seasons and how letting go of the noise around us—especially the constant flood of divisive news. Spring is here! The smells, the sun, the warmth, they combine to give us hope. Excitement is in the air, baseball is back- the national pastime reminds us of the opportunities we're blessed with, living in the greatest country on earth. It's OK to strike out, the most successful players in life build upon a foundation of their failures. People from around the globe envy what we have. Folks from every corner do whatever it takes to come here, shit, the royal family of Great Britain chose America over their kingdom. What's that tell you? America is loaded with opportunity! Poor, rich, in the middle, don't let the assholes on TV tell you that we're not amazing. It's spring, anything is possible.
