Do you blame others for things going wrong in your life? Be honest. It's a big temptation and we all do it to some degree or another. But we also know: It doesn't feel good. Blaming is always following by needing to apologize and hoping that our outburst is forgotten. So why do we do it? Blaming others is actually a serious sign of how self-critical and unloved we feel. In this episode, I'm going to share thoughts on the blame game; why we do it; and most importantly: what we can do to stop. I'm...

It seems to me that throughout our lives, we are either told to “act our age” or we spend time worrying about “becoming our age.” What’s up with our cultural issues regarding aging? Why don’t we just relax, welcome and embrace the benefits of the years we have lived? Good question! I think it is due to the socialization processes that we all go through from the day we're born. We're told what to do, how to do it, when to do it and more -- and we're often left doubting ourselves and worrying abou...

There are many kinds of friendships that we will develop throughout our lives -- from acquaintances, casual, work, close, social and besties. All of our friendships are important and they each have the ability to fulfill our different needs for human connection.
