Since early March, we were all given a massive wake-up call. Whether we expected it, were ready for it, liked it, or not, it was forced upon us.

One question I have been asking myself lately is, “do I really want every area of …

My hope is that knowing what each …

When Jolene Watson and I first recorded this podcast, over a month ago, we had no idea what was to come with COVID-19, which is why we don’t discuss it. It hadn’t reached us yet. We decided to still release this podcast anyway, and will create a part 2 shortly with what we are experiencing today. With that being said, this podcast is a discussion a…

Change is inevitable. We can fight against it. We can resist it. We can ignore it. But it’s still there and it’s still going to happen.

The longer you think about a thought, the stronger that thought becomes because it is given the time and space to gain momentum.
