In this episode, I discuss grief and love. Grief is something that touches every one of us, at some point in our lives. It’s a universal human experience, but grief is also deeply personal and unique to each individual. Love often finds expression in various creative forms, such as art, music, poetry, and more. It is more than just an emotional expression, it is an action. We all experience and demonstrate love differently. I process coping with the grief of Kobe Bryant and exploring love- the lyrics behind, “When it hurts so bad” by Lauryn Hill.

In today's episode, I share my personal thoughts and feelings about Lauryn Hill and her solo debut album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" and her appearance on MTV's Unplugged. Lauryn's natural ability to blend genres, her soulful sounds, and meaningful lyrics is to be discussed with grace. I offer a few reflective questions throughout the episode to help you consider how you can find peace of mind and define your own destiny.

In this episode, I share a short poem that I wrote in 2010, Expressions. Expressing your emotions can be difficult at first but the result is liberating. I believe that when we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. Emotions give meaning to the story and paints a descriptive picture to what we are trying to express. I offer a few reflective questions at the end.

In this episode, I discuss the two types of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic. We all need a pick me up, some intrinsic motivation to focus on, and encouraging words to lift us up every now and then, especially when we’re feeling tired, discouraged, or defeated. I provide a few tips on how to find it, create it, and keep it motivation daily.

In this episode, I discuss how to apologize with genuineness, empathy, and validation. One common struggle that I found in my work with couples in therapy, is their inability to apologize. Some people find it difficult or refuse to take accountability for their actions. They play the victim or minimize the magnitude of the problem. Learning a healthy way to communicate your apology and accept an apology is a foundational tool in any type of relationship.
