If we asked you to stop and think of anyone you know that is always playing the victim in situations and never taking responsibility, could you name someone? Maybe two people? What if it is you?? We all can have the tendency to living in a Victim Mentality. Blaming other’s for our misfortune, being a catastrophist in any situation, living in a dark cloud of depression or anxiety…and so many more signs. We get really down and dirty with it, maybe even helping a personal situation of our own in the process. The Victim Mentality is no joke, so make sure you give this chat a good listen and truly take a moment to be honest with yourself if any thing feels like a place that you live….theres always time to make improvements!

We got a lot of requests for an online dating episode and here it is! We hope it resonates with you to talk about the trials and tribulations in some shared experiences. It is 2024 and the main form of dating is to download an APP and swipe yes or no until you are thoroughly burnt out. It is exhausting. No matter what phase you’re in: 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc. online dating has pros and cons. Yes, believe it or not there are positives to the experience! We chat about it all and make sure you make it to the end where we have a fun time reading some ridiculous bios that are for pure fun (and to share the struggle of finding genuine and “normal” people in your filter search). Get out there! Be genuine! Ask for what you want! DO NOT SETTLE FOR LESS THAN WHAT YOU DESERVE!

We are so used to having any type of food we want in any season right at our finger tips. We don’t think twice about what to get at the store or when to get it because whatever we need is always there. However, what if we shift our eating to what happens seasonally with our local farmer’s harvest? The amount of environmental and nutritional benefits are more than what we ever thought of…and if you’re anything like us, you did not think about this too much at all. This is one where you definitely want to check out the reference links below to see the full list per season of what produce is the best to put on your table and in your families bellies!

Real Tip of the Day: Coffee!

Check out the more organic bags of coffee or more local bags of coffee at your grocery store. The price is a little bit more, but the taste will prove its worth it!

Lets make it EXTRA! Get Social!

Get on social media and check out when your town or the closest town is having a farmer’s market! Schedule it into your weekly or monthly routine of you and your family!
