BREATHE N BOUNCE

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.

EPISODE LXXXIV: DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS

We need to push through, put your big boy pants on, you're not sick; yes some of the things we are told when we don't feel well.  However, some people fail to understand that allowing sickness coming into your life can make things even more complicated.  Then there's us.  We push ourselves when we are not feeling well just to earn the reward of feeling worse.  I talk about this and my own experience last week as I was diagnosed with the flu.

EPISODE LXXXIII: LESSONS IN BLESSINGS

We go through some really bad situations in life, but perhaps if we look deep enough, we can find something good in our misfortune.  We can learn something.  Whether it be what not to do next time, or perhaps we can see through the fire that something good happened because of it.  It's so hard and it takes time to practice and learn, but it's possible because in the end, everything's possible.

EPISODE LXXXII: ON TOO MANY CONDITIONS

The conditioning of humanity.  It starts at an early age and becomes embedded.  How we think and act and we never question it.  However what if we did.  how can we live more authentically and find our true nature.  I talk about this.  It's a heavy one. You've been warned.

EPISODE LXXXI: THE PIT

Sometimes when life gets very rough and we get to a point that there's no putting on the brakes.  No turning back.  We put ourselves in a pit of shame and anger.  The thing is we cannot live there.  I have been in the pit many times in my life and it has had dire consequences for me and loved ones.  I will tell you my survival guide on how to stay out of and what to do if I get close to reentering.
