Send us a text Introverts tend to share similar characteristics and those characteristics can make them really good listeners. (Obviously, this doesn’t apply to all introverts.) Being a good listener is a skill not everyone has and if you can master that skill, it can help you in both your professional and personal life. However, when stuck in the listener role, this can lead to some problems. So, in this episode, I go over those issues and what I plan to do to be a better advocate for myself. A...

This year, though, I’m trying to change my mindset and approach it from a different angle and that is through micro goals. It’s an extremely simplistic approach, but one that can be easily overlooked, because of its simplicity. In this episode, I’ll go over what that is and what I hope to achieve this year. Will I lose weight in 2021? I guess we’ll find ...

Although I’m happy to hear businesses are opening back up, the office, however, not so much.

However, I believe that therapy can be very beneficial to some people and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, so why should I...
