Episode 426 Cheers to Sobriety: Navigating Society's Drinking Norms

/

What to think….

Do you ever feel like you are the only one that got the memo that drinking is bad for you?

We live in such strange times. Celebrities are coming out on a daily basis proclaiming their sobriety and then we have people that are getting sick and putting their lives in danger because they are blackout drunk. 

Which one are you? 

I have been a fall down drunk, dancing on tables, making horrible decisions and the person that wishes that everyone gets sober! 

Sobriety has given so many gifts I cannot even begin to count and the big fat lie of my life was that alcohol was my friend and FUN! It was all BS!

Episode 424- I went down a dark hole…..how did I get out???

/

Me getting out of a dark hole….LOL

Today I talk about a dark experience I had on Sunday and the tools that I used that were in my toolbox. It was so unpleasant and scary for a time and I had to do something….

We all go to these places and it isn’t that we won't ever stop going to places that bring up fear — but it is about how we can escape without using alcohol and drugs.

God is so good, do you believe in God’s winks? Do you know what I am talking about? 

Please listen and let me know what you think. 

I hope you enjoy today's show.

Episode 423 From Diplomacy to Dance Floors: A Conversation with Dr. Esther Zeledon

/

Dr Ester Zeledon

Today, I had a very interesting and enjoyable conversation with Dr. Esther Zeledon. 

Dr. Esther is an entrepreneur, coach, international development professional, mother, wife, mentor, former diplomat, extreme couponer, travel guru, dance queen and scientist. Whose purpose is to help you live the life you want to live. 

We all have a gift to give the world, and Dr. Esther helps you to identify your gifts.

Dr. Esther is a citizen of the world. Her life's work has taken her all over the world and put her in a huge variety of situations – from jungles and remote communities to world capitals, from fishing and agricultural communities to embassies and corporate board rooms.

To say she has experience would be an understatement. She is kind, loving and nonjudgemental. I had such a great time talking to Dr. Esther. 

Enjoy our conversation and know that you too have a gift. It is time to find it and embrace it. 

I hope you enjoy today's show.

Episode 422- Expectations: Embracing the Unexpected in Life

/

Expectations

Today I talk about how setting expectations limits us and our abilities to enjoy life. Life is so good if we learn to just let things happen. 

The story I think back to is when a Hurricane was heading in the same direction as we were on our vacation ... .What did we do? Listen….

Don’t let your expectations get in your way….it is time to enjoy life. Embrace the lightness and let go of the dark.

Episode 421 - Dr. John Delony’s Perspectives on Managing Anxiety in our Life and Relationships

/

Dr john delony

Our conversation is finally LIVE for everyone to hear! I was so excited to connect with Dr. John Delony; I love his show and his latest book, Building a Non-Anxious Life. After a few back-and-forths to get scheduled, we sat down together and covered a wide range of topics. I enjoyed our discussion and I know you will too!

Dr. John Delony earned his Bachelor of Arts in humanities and psychology at Lubbock Christian University and his Masters of Education in higher education administration from Texas Tech University. He went on to earn two PhDs from Texas Tech University—one in counselor education and supervision, and the other in higher education administration.

After spending over twenty years in crisis response and leading students in higher education, John knew he wanted to help as many people as possible heal from their past trauma and live whole, connected lives. He now writes, speaks and teaches on relationships, mental health, anxiety and wellness. He also hosts The Dr. John Delony Show where he answers callers’ questions about all of the above, and serves as co-host of The Ramsey Show where he helps unpack the psychology behind finances.

When John isn’t working, you can find him hanging out with his wife and two kids on their farm in Tennessee, headbanging at some obscure concert, or obsessing over his new lifting routine.

Episode 420- Comparisons & Crossroads: Navigating Change in the Shadow of Others

/

When is it time to turn?

It was a real pleasure having the famous Dr. John Delony on my podcast, he’s a really nice guy but I went down the rabbit hole of…why is he a #1 podcast and I am not? 

Do you ever compare yourself and afterwards you feel yucky? 

I also talk today about living with addicts and how cunning, baffling and powerful the disease of alcoholism is. 

We all get to a place where we have been complaining for so long about a person and their drinking…..The person won’t stop and what are you to do?

Episode 418- True Hearts: Embracing Valentine's Beyond the Glamour

/

Happy Valentine’s Day

Today is Valentine’s Day and please don’t use this made-up holiday to help you to define who you are in the negative ways it can. We need to fall in love with ourselves before we can love anyone else. 

In today’s episode I talk about drinking in public and how inappropriate it is to get black out drunk even when our country's message is that it is ok! When in fact it isn’t ok! I tell a story about me being drunk in Europe and not remembering that trip and it is kind of sad. 

Obsession with criticizing celebrities is another topic I dislike and how we can’t compare ourselves to what a billionaire’s life is. This isn’t beneficial!

I also talk about ways that we can stop hurting ourselves and one of the ways I discuss is staying away from social media when you aren't in a good state of mind. 

I hope you enjoy today's show.
