A lot of us go through breakups that can be messy. In this vlog, I talk about my opinions on how to cordially breakup with someone.
__
For more context, this was the message I received:
"I’ve been through a couple of breakups and neither ended well. In many ways, when I look back, it took me some time to get over those relationships not because of the person I was dating and it was taking a long time to get over the person but more because of the way the breakups went down. Ending a relationship with someone you had good times and shared love in such negative manners made me be a lot more careful to letting someone in, more guarded and hesitant to opening up to people, and overall left a negative taste about relationships.

I am planning to end my current relationship, she’s a great person and I don’t want to end in a toxic manner or angry manner like my last breakups so I was wondering if there is a good way to handle the breakup?__

A lot of people can seemingly accelerate their relationship quickly and get married quicker than most people find appropriate. In this vlog, I answer the question, is it too fast to get married to someone within a year of knowing them?

For more context, this was the situation a friend recently messaged me about:
A friend of mine has been dating this person for 4 months. They’ve decided to move in together and he’s talking about getting engaged within the next 6 months to this person and possibly getting married 6 months later. Theoretically, that means he would get engaged 10 months into knowing the person and married 1 year and 4 months.

To me, as a friend, I think that they have accelerated very fast and I want to have a conversation with him about the situation.

Do you have any thoughts on this and how to handle a conversation like this?

Many of us have someone in our life who displays self sabotaging behavior. In this vlog, I discuss how do you as a friend, family member, or co-worker handle someone who continues to behave in a self sabotaging way.

A friend recently sent me this message: "I've been out of school and a working professional for several years now. Recently, life has been feeling like a hamster wheel. The same repetition of weeks over and over again. Any advice on getting out of this feeling?"

In this vlog, I talk about a couple strategies and reflecting questions you may want to ask yourself to escape the hamster wheel feeling.

Hey guys, hope everyone’s been well. I have something somewhat exciting to announce - I’m open to interviewing people again! 



Last year, a couple times, people reached out to me and said they had someone that they thought would be great on the podcast. At that time, I just didn’t feel right interviewing anyone knowing I wasn’t consistently putting out content and declined those. 



In reflection, I realize - I think that came from this culture we have internally of either being all in or all out when in reality any positive act in the world is a positive act and is good. 



I share my thoughts on the all in/all out culture and my belief that we need to create healthier relationships with being in the middle. 



Again, to be clear, I don’t have the bandwidth to reach out like I used and schedule 52 guests a year, but if anyone out there is watching and knows somebody that would be a great fit (have a unique life story, especially related to mental health, and/or is someone who has found success in their career and can share life lessons/wisdoms from their journey), please feel free to message me, I’m happy to have them on.
