In this episode, we dive deep into the true power of empathy—not just as a feeling but as a force for real action. Too often, we talk about understanding others, but how do we turn that understanding into meaningful change? We explore practical ways to practice empathy in daily life, from small personal interactions to larger social impact. Whether you're a leader, a friend, or someone looking to make a difference, this conversation will leave you inspired to take action with heart.

Picture this: a mobile yoga studio, a glass of wine in hand, and the person you vowed to love forever by your side. Our recent Sip and Stretch date night with Jessica was not just a break from the mundane, but a rejuvenating experience for our relationship.

Today we’re going to have a chat about the P Diddy situation. No, I’m not giving you a play by play account or my feelings on guilt or innocence, but more the players involved. Persuasion and manipulation are at an all time high in this society, and there are quite a few people who fell victim to the go along get along gang. Why are people so easily influenced, and should success be a measure to become a dictator? Join us for a conversation I’m calling “I’ll follow, you lead.

Tonight’s episode is for the strong friend. The one who’s there at a moments notice, thru thick and thin and down for whatever. But who checks on you strong friend? Is your personal suffering ignored for the betterment of others? Is this the result of friends with too many problems or self inflicted? We’ll be live tonight on FB and IG..(YouTube this weekend hopefully!) to have a conversation simply titled “The Strong Friend”. Tune in, ask a question or say hi! I have no idea what I’m doing in this video app anyway lol.

Happy Sunday folks, today we talk about the “Avoider”. Many times this term is used to categorize someone’s traits in relationships, but how many of us are avoiders of people, problems and situations in real life? And why? I wanna share a part of my current phase of therapy with you all, and maybe it will give you a breakthrough faster than I’ve had. Join us tomorrow for “The Professional Avoider”. Thanks for listening!

Happy Sunday! Today I want to have a chat about money. We all love it and need it to survive in some form or fashion, but what about when it comes to things you’re passionate about? Should the goal in life be to get paid for things you like to do? Is money and followers a true measure of how successful you are these days? Join me Tuesday for a conversation I’ve coined “For the love of money”
