Subscribe to my SubstackIn this episode, I look at talking heads on social media. We see them every day, from TikTok to Twitter, and everywhere in between. They come from both sides of the political landscape, and each one is convinced he / she is right. How can you filter what’s real, from what’s not? What good is really being accomplished?I also go further into the political discussion, with a look at the Vice Presidential debate. Did that debate finally sway any undecided voters? Also, how is any voter still undecided? Plus, I look at the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, and how a certain party insists on politicizing the entire situation.Please give this episode a listen, and let me know what you think. Do talking heads affect your overall opinion? What did you think about the debate, and what’s your take on how Hurricane Helene has been politicized from the start?

Subscribe to my SubstackIn this episode, I talk about social media, and how it affects us. From the positives, which are many, and the negatives, which are many more, and everything in between. Remember when it was just a way to connect with others, and share ideas? What happened to that initial premise?I also dive into the upcoming presidential election. It’s a topic I said I wouldn’t tackle that much, but here we are. Speaking out and attempting to stay the course isn’t always easy. But in this environment, the stakes are just too high to ignore, and remain silent.Please give this episode a listen, and let me know what you think. Do you enjoy social media, or do you tend to stay away from it? How much do you dive in? Also, are you a political person by nature, or are you more comfortable watching from a distance?

Subscribe to my SubstackIn this episode, I tackle the notion of getting help, when sometimes, getting that help is the hardest thing to do.The problem with processing grief, or loss of any kind, is that it’s unique to each person. There’s not a cure-all, or a magic button you can press to instantly feel better. It’s up to the individual to try and cope. For some, family support is everything. For others, it’s a best friend, or a circle of friends.But what happens when there’s no one? Or what happens when you’re discouraged from getting the help you need? The negative stigma that’s attached to therapy is still very much in play, especially for men. So what now?Please give this episode a listen, and let me know what you think. Are you currently dealing with the loss of a loved one? Are you trying to process through therapy? Or have you had therapy in the past, and have strong feelings about it?
