BREATHE N BOUNCE

EPISODE XCVII: THE DOPE SHOW

I mean I do have a pretty dope show, but that's not what we are talking about here.  We are actually talking about drugs.  The role they play in our life, and I talk about my experiences with them and why I went this direction, what made me stop, and hopefully people can learn from it.

EPISODE XCVI: GO AHEAD JUMP

Sometimes when we are faced with a difficult decision and risk is involved, we have to make that choice to get uncomfortable and possibly grow.  We can't let our mind get in the way. I speak about this and how my own personal experiences have brought me to create this episode.
 

EPISODE XCV: THE UNBEARABLE GUILT OF REACTING TO JOY AND PAIN

Is it important for us to react to everything?  Most likely it isn't, but sometimes responses are warranted.  I speak about my own struggle about this piece and how I was super ultra reactive to anything people said or did to me and it created this beast inside of me.  I talk about how I am practicing to respond and not react to news no matter if its good or bad.

EPISODE XCIV: SADNESS AND SUICIDE

Mental health is one of the biggest issues out there today.  Poor mental health treatments and programs have been responsible for making symptoms worse for many patients.  Sometimes life gets to be too much and some see only one way out.  I have contemplated and attempted to take that way out and I talk about some of my stories and my challenges, but I talk about the journey I have taken to understand what life truly is and what it can be 

EPISODE XCIII: SO WHAT'S LOVE ANYWAYS

So love?  What exactly is it? Is it two people getting together? Is it when that magical moment of sexual intercourse happens? Is it when you live through all the crap?  I talk about this and talk about how it feels to lose love.  What can you do?  There is a lot believe me, but it all starts with you.

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.
