    A Look Back: Parenting

    Parenting doesn't come with a manual. It is on-the-job training. You will make mistakes, but what you do when you realize those mistakes or when they are brought to your attention makes the difference. Family is difficult. We all want our parents to be superheroes, and when they don't live up to our expectations, we turn on them. But what are our expectations? Are they reasonable? Perhaps it's time to stop and reflect on what you perceive as the perfect parent. It may not be realistic.

It's safe to say that it's not easy. My guest for this episode has been through the ups and downs of a startup, and he is with me today to share some insight. If you are looking to start your own business, sit back and listen in. You may find a few nuggets that can help you on your way.

    Let's Talk: Epilepsy

    Please do not rely on any podcast for medical advice, including this one. Always seek the advice of your own medical professional. Many people have a fear of epilepsy. In this episode, my guest unpacks some of the common myths about the disorder and its impact on both the individual and their family. Should you suspect that you or someone you love suffers from any neurological disorders, hopefully, this talk will provide some insight and offer useful talking points to discuss with your healthcare provider.

    Let's Talk: Community

    What's in a community? Is it fair to only be with people who are exactly like you? Community is about more than yourself. In this episode, we discuss the ups and downs of community and its importance in our social makeup. Some people in your community you may agree with, and some you may disagree with. Then there are some that you have to agree to disagree with and move on. That is all a part of a healthy community. Let's begin.

    Let's Talk: Social Anxiety

    Social anxiety is real and not easily overcome. If you or someone you love suffers from this disorder, please seek assistance from a licensed mental health professional or your healthcare provider and get the help you deserve.

    Let's Talk: Social Anxiety

    Life can be overwhelming, and for those living with social anxiety, even everyday moments can feel paralyzing. That constant inner dialogue—Are they watching me? Do I belong? Do I even matter?—can turn simple interactions into exhausting experiences. In this next episode, my guest and I open up about the realities of social anxiety: how it shapes thoughts, limits connections, and quietly impacts so many lives.    Please note: This conversation is intended for awareness and reflection purposes only and should not be considered medical advice. If you or someone you love is struggling with social anxiety, reach out to a licensed mental health professional or healthcare provider for the support you deserve.
