BREATHE N BOUNCE

EPISODE XCII: HATE IS THE NEW 40

Why is it so easy to hate?  Why is it so hard to love? And one more question, why take the easy way out?  We look at this and more on this episode.  How can we find what we have in common versus what makes us different?  People may have different beliefs and cultures, but we can focus on learning and taking in the beauty of the human experience.  We can find our way to make love the new 50

EPISODE XCI: THE WALLS RISE AND CRUMBLE

I talk about how we walk around with our defenses up because we may not want people to see our true selves because we are afraid we will not be accepted.  Then again, if we are to live authentically, we might just be ourselves with no cares and no regrets.  We just work to build ourselves up physically and mentally to help us find the person we are and also with the courage to just be who we are at the present moment, rather than worry about what happened before.

EPISODE XC: THE LYING GAME

A problem I have had in the past was a need to lie.  I did so because I was afraid of consequences, getting yelled at, being abandoned.  However, one thing I have learned is the lying makes it much worse.  I talk about this and bring the disappointment of how it feels to be lied to because I have also been on that side.

EPISODE LXXXVIV: THE DEPRESSION EXPERIENCE

Ever feel depressed and really observed yourself while in that particular moment.  I share what my depression and mindset is when I feel down through lots of music and raw thought.  This episode has a trigger warning for suicide as I talk about that on this episode.  Please take care of yourself.  Call 988 if you need support.  You can always DM here as well.

EPISODE LXXXVIII: MOMENTS, STEPS, BREATH

The three things that need to be utilized for something to change.  The moment happens, take the steps to respond, breathe through the changes.  All of them have to activate before you start on a new path and journey.  It can be scary but as long as you have your breath you can do anything.   BNB underwent somewhat of a format change and I am going to keep tweaking it as I moved forward.

EPISODE LXXXVII: WE'RE LIVE PAL!/INCONCEIVABLE

Tried to do a nice little broadcast from the Drop Your Rocks festival this past weekend but it didn't go as planned.  Technical difficulties made things not only frustrating but heart breaking for me.  I really spoke about my feelings and maybe went a little too dark and deep.  However I am here to tell the story no matter how difficult it is. 

EPISODE LXXXVI: HELP ME I'M IN HELL

There are times where many conditions around us give us anxiety.  The fear of the unknown especially when people in "higher places" make decisions that may greatly impact our life.  We just have to bring the attention to ourselves and control what we can control, and surrender to what we can't.  It's on us to do the work to help us deal with the most difficult parts of our life.

EPISODE LXXXV: DROP THOSE ROCKS

In life we get dealt with lots of stuff everyday.  Lots of problems , and obstacles.  So we can get overwhelmed and start acting eratically if we let these things pile up, avoid, not feel, etc.  So what can we do?  We can work on things one moment at a time and move on to the next.  Joining us on the show is Happy Hour Yoga owner Nancy Meyers who is putting together a yoga festival in Crystal Lake, IL February 21 - 23.
