For me being alone isn’t the same as FEELING alone. You can be surrounded by hundreds of people, but not have anyone you can identify with. It’s like being a superhero with the power of invisibility, except you can never turn it off. Our minds can have these on-going thoughts that we’re afraid of sharing so we can end up being consumed by them. This happened to me a lot growing up and still does everyone once in a while, so let’s talk about that on the show.

There’s an incredible sense of satisfaction when you begin to take control of your life and improve many parts of your health. But what happens when things don’t go according to plan? What if - despite what you are doing - you see nothing but new problems pile up as you try to solve the old ones. I share a few stories of the challenges I encountered while trying to improve my overall health.

Our environment is incredibly influential when it comes to our happiness. Living in a place where you feel at home, walking down streets where you see people that accept you for who you are and everyone in your family embraces your lifestyle or preferences. Unfortunately, not everyone lives in this ideal scenario. I felt the responsibility to produce an episode on the importance of embracing diversity. Our differences make us awesome, yet others can feel threatened by them. Why? Let’s talk about that!

Be grateful and thankful for every contribution someone’s made in your life, no matter how big or smal. Life can become so hectic that we just keep going without taking a second to thank those that have been with us for the ride. I want to start a series of special episodes focused on the people that have made an impact on my life, and hopefully motivate others to do the same. Today I start by thanking someone special that I lost in 2014. Today, I thank Steve.

In this episode I share what I've learned about myself as a result of sharing my story and what we can look forward to in the future.

Social media allows us to connect with people around the world, but it can also be overwhelming and create situations where you compare your life to others. In this episode I share the benefits I've gained thanks to social media, as well as the risks and dangers involved when my mental health isn't at 100%.

Some people have jumped to conclusions about a person's mental health based on their clothing or how they interact with others. What about the people that have the biggest smile but feel empty on the inside? We sometimes hide our emotions by acting opposite to the way we actually feel.
In this episode I share situations I've been through where others didn't take my mental illness seriously because I "... didn't look depressed".
Let's motivate each other to live happy, healthy and productive lives!

One of the best feelings you can have is the satisfaction of knowing you did something great. But what about the missteps along the way? We’re all humans and can make mistakes, yet many times frown upon them. I’ve learned to embrace the mistakes I’ve made because I’ve learned from every one of them. Not just that, I made incredible changes to my life thanks to those mistakes, so I’m here to share them with you.

Setting new goals can be scary because it sets an expectation of what you would like for the future. For me, having something that I'm working towards to keeps me motivated, especially on those days where my thoughts and self-worth aren't as positive as I'd like them to be. In this episode I share goals I've accomplished, as well brainstorm ideas of what could be in my future.
