Mindsets, Motivation & Monkeys" Pt 1; What IF Asked Yourself THIS Question?

 Today I go (deep) into the rabbit hole to discuss a haunting question -- haunting for anyone, but even more so for us suicide loss survivors. Everything is harder now, right? (but that's NOT the question).

Sing with me “I can do hard things. I can do hard things...” (it may just be the weirdo in me, but yes, I sing it out loud to myself often ...when I feel frustrated or discouraged), and then I DO “it” -- whatever the current “it” is. Or at least TRY to. How about you? (STILL NOT THE QUESTION though).

I want to know if you have asked yourself this question I ask in the episode-- now, in your “after loss” life OR before? Should you? (pssst....the answer is “yes”) YOLO is what Alex would say and he was my kid after all...I hope this episode is thought provoking & motivating....and YES, you have to listen to the episode to actually HEAR THE QUESTION!

Today I touch base on: 

• Why risk and hard things are easier for some ...or are they? 
• Why asking this question matters
• How Rita Wilson factors in
• And an update on life in Puerto Rico ....and more

Listen to the TedX Talk I reference HERE and for the joy of it (& because you will be left feeling like "I want to hear the song" So...
HERE is the song she sings at the end (it's not part the original TedX recording) 

Remember to look for me again WEEKLY with a mixture of longer conversational episodes and the shorter solo down the rabbit hole episodes, roundtables and more.... I have missed you friends and am glad to be back!

THANK YOU for listening to this episode. It means the world!
