Whether it’s a celebrity, professional athlete, influencer or politician. Whether it be a family member, friend or colleague, we sometimes find ourselves being engulfed with the lives of other people. At the root of this phenomenon are four key factors, Self-Esteem, Comparison, Intelligence (IQ & EQ) and Honesty.
Licensed Professional Counselor Kervin Searles joins us on this episode to discuss Self-Esteem, Comparison, Intelligence (IQ & EQ) Honesty and how it plays a role in the obsession of others.

We have the fear of being ostracized and not being accepted. We live in a time where the more people that “like you” “support you” or “follow you” the more important “you appear to be.” Therefore, you are likely fearful to say or do anything that goes against the main stream “narrative” or specific “talking points.” However, is this impacting our ability to critically think and process the information we are being told?

The JoNessa Podcast is joined by Attorney William J.V. Barr to discuss the legal system and why it’s more important to know your rights than it is to know about your favorite candidate.
This episode is a must listen! Listen to Attorney Barr as he discusses the following:
How informed is the average US citizen on the legal system and how things actually function and operate in this country.
Why for the past 8 years have we been stuck in this perpetual cycle of frustration and anger due to verdicts from high profile cases and/or candidates running for offices but neglect to focus on what happens in our local communities and state?
Should we require individuals to be more knowledgeable in order to vote in this country? Does our educational play a hand in our lack of knowledge in the area of Law?
