The truth is: we are all selfish. Because sometimes, it's challenging to be a good person, as it's nearly impossible to be open-minded, kind, and considerate all the time. And honestly, that's okay –– as long as we try to become better. Of course, we'll never be perfect, but if we remind ourselves to look at different points of view and continue to learn and grow from each other, we can take the first step in closing the empathy gap.

Let's all take a deep breath and stop obsessing over every aspect of our lives. In this episode of Thick & Thin, I relinquish my crown and title of "Queen of Control" and realize that perfectionism is not always the goal. Because if we learn to trust our instincts and follow our deepest needs, we might discover that doing a little less can lead to the same results.

We all make mistakes, but these missteps can help us grow and develop. However, when we watch our loved ones make similar mistakes –– especially avoidable ones –– it makes us angry. So in this episode of Thick & Thin, I discuss the concept of loving anger, as it's probably time to stop projecting our emotions on others and start controlling our narcissistic behaviors.

It's time to get our shit together. In this episode of Thick & Thin, I discuss the importance of personal autonomy, as our decisions should stem from our morals and desires rather than societal pressure to look cool.

In episode two of Thick & Thin I talk about a bad habit I have-- convincing (and forcing) myself that I'm ready for things that I deep-down know that I'm NOT ready for. I force myself to date guys I know that I don't like- just because I feel like it's "about time." I also have a tendency of faking things -- telling guys I had a "great time" when I had by far the worst time ever.. LOL. I even talk about virginity and tell some cute lil stories.
