How do we learn to hate ourselves and what influences us to judge ourselves so harshly? If we dive deep enough into our past, the chance is there was some sort of catalyst in the form of demeaning words.

Due to this, we are incredibly susceptible to suggestion. In this episode, I take a deep dive into this state of existence. I break down how we learn...

Anxiety has a way of taking us away from the present moment and thrusting us into a myriad of scenarios that we convince ourselves are based on truth. Maintaining awareness of ourselves in these moments is extremely difficult and we tend to seek distractions in order to mitigate this intense feeling.

Confrontation is a part of life that we all have to become accustomed to, yet so many of us run away from situations at the slightest sign of stress.

Unfortunately our society generally views vulnerability as a weakness. In this episode I discuss the importance of being open, honest and vulnerable with others. I examine how it ca...

Some people might consider humans inherently valuable, but what designates value? We know gold and platinum are coveted and revered due to rarity but what else gives something value? I would argue that the contribution of any person or thing makes it useful and when we look at contribution on a large enough scale we see that humans just aren't up to the task of saving themselves much less turning off Netflix to develop a real skill or hobby.
