  Is being a mum the end of your career? 06.07.2026 12min

  Send us Fan Mail It always amazes me how much scrutiny women get for having a career and being a mum. In this day and age, it shocks me. Today we’re talking primarily about women in music and this odd idea that they give up their careers and they’ll never succeed simply with the fact of having children. If that’s the case, men should have the same ideals put on them when they become parents. But even outside of the entertainment world, women face so much discrimination whether they are or are...

  The Art of Enjoyment and Seeking Simple Pleasures 08.06.2026 11min

We also spend a little time discussing the validity of those “negative” feelings that co...

  I have a dream! Setting Goals and Dreaming for the Real You 25.05.2026 11min

  Send us Fan Mail I have a dream! Setting Goals and Dreaming for the real you I often think about whether where I’ve wound up in the world today is where I expected to be so many years ago. Have I given up on goals or dreams that I had? Were they ones that still hold meaning for me or are they ones that over time have lost the importance they once held? Looking back, I think that over time we shed what we don’t need, keep what we do. Some of it is for survival and necessity, some of it i...

  It’s Cool to be Kind! Thriving with Kindness 30.03.2026 13min
