This week we welcome Kate Morton from Funk It Wellness to talk about menstruation and throughout our conversation, there were several eye opening, paradigm shift moments that came from talking about periods and women's menstrual health in a safe space. Many women are continuing to learn about their health many, many years after they have had their first period. But also, other conversations around work, business, productivity, living one's best life, and even removing the negative effects of patriarchal systems are all connected to having thoughtful and open communication about periods.

The Holiday Season... a time for family, social gatherings, cold nights and warm fires. For many people, these moments are also filled with alcoholic drinks in hand, and the notion is that if you're not drinking along, you're also not having as much fun. For those who struggle with alcohol and other substance use, this is a time that can be a significant struggle where you may wish you could avoid gatherings all together. We are grateful to be able to share an honest conversation about sobriety as we enter this season.

"Hurt people, hurt people." This powerful and profound phrase holds so much truth. When you are a victim of any form of trauma, and you have the healing and ability needed to step back and look at the person who caused you pain, you can often find that the hurtful behavior patterns that someone exhibits stem from pain that another person had caused them earlier in their lives.

Guns are the leading cause of death for those who die by suicide. Yet guns are so interwoven into our culture, thinking about reducing guns is a near impossible conversation to have - and it certainly does not allow for us to actually make an impact on reducing the number of people who die by suicide.

Can you imagine a world with ZERO suicides? In our conversation with Scott Smith, he paints a hopeful picture of how we can make a real difference of lowering the number of suicides.

We continue our conversation with Steven D’Achille of the Alexis Joy foundation.

We do want to let you know that up front that part of this story is difficult to hear... it does have a tragic ending with his wife Alexis dying by suicide.

Postpartum depression is a treatable medical illness that affects about 15-20% of women after giving birth. It can develop anywhere from a few weeks to a year after delivery, but it's most common in the first three months postpartum.

Since birth, Christophe has proved everyone wrong when they discounted his ability. Standing 4’4” and having a rare form of dwarfism, Christophe endured three major surgeries before age 18.

Death is a difficult conversation for all of us, but it's even more difficult when someone leaves this world too soon. The grief and soul searching of any parent who has lost a child is gut wrenching and unbearable.

The vitriol in American politics was a problem long before Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and the 2020 election. Affective political polarization (not only disagreement on issues but personal contempt and distrust) has been growing between us for at least 25 years, and today there is evidence to suggest that we are now as polarized as we have been since the Civil War.

In order to break the cycle of a pornography addiction, one of the most important things is to find someone who you can be vulnerable with, and who can hold you accountable.

Many addictions have similar roots: behaviors or substances that help create temporary moments of pleasure to help us avoid real-world pains and traumas.

Every Adoption and Infertility journey is unique. They each come with their own special circumstances, pains, traumas and moments of joy. Stories of adoption also include the precious life of another human being, yearning to be loved, to be known and to be a part of a family.

Adoption doesn't heal infertility. They are in fact a separate series of painful and beautiful, difficult and emotional moments that 1 in 8 couples have to work through as the plan for a family.

It's not everyday you find yourself hiding for your life when the cartel starts firing at your hotel room while on vacation.

In recognition of National Infertility Awareness Week (April 18-24), we wanted to bring in a different perspective of working through Infertility.

Many people dream of having kids and raising a family. Imagine the pain and shock when all of a sudden, that story becomes very difficult or simply impossible.

We need to continue to talk about racial healing and keep asking questions like, why we are here today, what we can be doing to move towards equality, and how do we heal the deep wounds and pain that we've caused one another?
