Self-awareness and a lack there of is your big determination to honestly understand if someone has significant signs and symptoms of narcissism or not. When dealing with these people, you will find yourself on a very uneven playing ground. The rules do not apply to them! They make up the rules for the relationship and you must follow them. If not, there will be a problem. However, they are immune to the rules - the rules do not apply to them - You learn this over a period of time- in the beginning you’re usually getting attention and having more favorable experiences and then that begins to change.And their attention begins to wane and they begin giving less and less. You will begin to see significant change within them, and wonder why they are changing, sometimes turning very much inward wondering what you have done, and trying harder every day to get back to the beginning of the relationship.If you believe you have a narcissist in your life, you will want to listen to the full podcast and understand the spectrum that is narcissism, Just because someone has two signs and symptoms doesn't mean they are a narcissist. However, some have no empathy, no care about what they do to you, and are constantly using you for what you can do for them. Listen to this podcast and get the clarity you can use to understand these relationships clearly.

There are real reasons why people with borderline personality disorder, signs and symptoms connect with people who are narcissistic and have narcissistic signs and symptoms. The attraction is very deep-seated and somewhat primal. Primal in the sense that the relationship is fast and furious, the borderline getting wrapped up in the narcissist’s persona. The narcissist feeds the borderline what they want and then the love bombing and constant attention stops and then the intermittent reinforcement begins. If you have ever dated someone with borderline personality disorder and one day they dump you by text, they have found a narcissist that they are enamored by. For many people who have codependent tendencies, if you were in a relationship with someone with borderline tendencies and one day they go silent, there is someone else in their life. A narcissist is very skilled at getting the attention of a borderline, pulling them in, and then playing them to get the borderline to basically beg to keep them. Listen to this podcast to learn why this connection initially looks like it works but how it is a ticking time bomb. These two are the perfect puzzle piece for the most painful relationships.

There’s a specific type of narcissism that goes under the radar. It goes under the radar because it’s the opposite of what you think of when you think of narcissism. Overt narcissism is the most known type of narcissism where someone is the center of attention, extremely arrogant, and overpowering others. However one specific type of narcissism is even more toxic because it goes under the radar and surfaces when you are already deep into a relationship, partnership, or friendship. These people weaponize your fear over time to control, manipulate, and gaslight you. You may have a parent, family member, spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend who is a covert narcissist and you may not know it. You know something isn’t right, their are red flags, but you don’t realize who and what you are actually dealing with. Listen to this thirty minute episode and get the knowledge you need to see the truth, recognize the signs, see the red flags honestly, and later within the podcast ways to safeguard yourself in the process.

Unhealthy Relationships have One Common Denominator…FEAR…Unhealthy, toxic, and challenging relationships often begin with love bombing, massive amounts of attention from the other person, codependency, and an over-active mind creating a "perfect life" narrative that makes us overlook the red flags and jump in head first. Often we get into serious relationships, unhealthy marriages, and have children with people that we should not be in a relationship with. We pushed ourselves into these relationships because of the fear of being alone, fear of dying alone, and old school triggers of being the only child, having no one, and being abandoned by parents or family. Having a child with someone is the biggest “contract” you will ever make with someone…Choose wisely! This latest podcast will enlighten you, bring you awareness, and save your ass. Don’t let fear rule your life.

In this episode of The Ashley Berges Podcast: Who are you spending your time with? I'm exploring positivity, negativity, toxic positivity, and realist thinking today. How each way of thinking impacts your mindset, relationships, health, success rate, and overall well-being. I’m discussing how negativity drains energy, allows for victimhood, and creates mental and emotional roadblocks. Toxic positivity is something many people are not aware of and fall victim to criticism and negative judgment. Just as harmful as negativity is toxic positivity, where there is no empathy and full judgment if you are not rainbows and unicorns all the time. Listen to this short, under-thirty-minute podcast that will help to identify the energy you have, the energy of others, and how to protect yourself from people who are bringing you down.

Have you ever felt like you’re constantly cleaning up someone else’s mess, but nothing ever changes? In this episode of the Ashley Berges Podcast, I ask: Do the people in your lives really want help, or are they just putting on a show and dragging us into it? I'm breaking down the key indications that someone isn’t ready to change, from blaming others and refusing accountability to projecting their insecurities.

The stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion can quietly reshape your life, your relationships, and even your well-being. If you’ve poured your time and love into someone trapped in chaos, this episode will give you clarity and help you stop enabling.

Most importantly, I’ll explain how to stop carrying emotional weight that was never yours to carry.

Are you stuck in a relationship where giving feels endless and love feels conditional? In this episode, I explore how codependency, future faking, and patterns learned from our family dynamic can keep us trapped, and how alcohol, drugs, and distractions reinforce the cycle. Sobriety isn’t just about quitting substances; it’s about gaining clarity, recognizing your value, and understanding your relationships for what they truly are. When you remove the brain fog, you stop believing the lies, see through the future faking, identify the false hope, and see the manipulation for what it is. When we are sober are able to stand up for ourselves in a more solid and consistent way, better at setting healthy boundaries, and we are able to gain confidence and a better overall self-esteem.

Losing a pet to death of their body is painful and you may feel lonely because others don’t understand the bond and connection. They don’t understand the love and connection you had with this being. People say things like, they were ready to go, and other say it was just their time, they think they are being accurate and helpful but neither one of the comments bare any truth. The truth is that their body failed them, whether it be environmental, food, or organ failure, their body stopped working. Whether it was medicine, poor dietary value, breed specific issue, etc, your dog or cat was not wanting to leave you. Much like the elderly grandmother of 90 years old who loves playing with her grandkids, she doesn’t just stop wanting to see her grandkids and say well I am ready to go. No, she was pulled from her life because of her body failure just like our dogs and cats are pulled from their life. If you see your dog or cat or pig as your best friend, a kindred spirit, and your soul family you can’t miss this podcast. This podcast will fuel your heart and remind you or awaken you to the truth within your heart and spirit. I recorded this podcast the day after Buddy's body failed him on August 22, 2025.

The loss of a pet to some people is just that, a loss of a pet. But for some of us the loss of a pet is the loss of a child. When you don’t have children, your dog or cat is your child. The connection and bond is strong and takes work, consistency, and dedication. Buddy has been with me for 15 years, he is my child. I have friends that have children and they do love their dogs but not to the same degree. The love for them is strong but not nearly as strong when they are your children. Many people don’t understand the bond, they have never experienced this type of bond with an animal. When a dog is your child and they pass to the spirit realm, it is like putting your first born in the grave. It is not like a mere passing of a nonhuman being. There is something that still exists within our society that deems dogs and cats as pets not our beloved family. Buddy’s body stopped working on August 22, 2025 and in this podcast I discuss my truth, emotions, and the feelings of losing Buddy. It’s time to have the real discussion of love and bond with our dog or cat. This podcast was recorded the morning after his body stopped working.

In today’s episode of The Ashley Berges Show, I’m deep diving into something we don’t talk about enough: how we only understand ourselves. We have people in our lives, such as partners, parents, siblings, and best friends, but even they can only interpret what they think we say or feel. They can’t fully grasp what we’re going through internally. I’m exploring what it means to truly know yourself, how we continue to learn about who we are, and why outside perspectives, even well-meaning ones, often fall short.

In order to safeguard yourself, you must be able to identify malignant narcissists that are in your personal life, family dynamic, work environment, and people you may listen to on the news, on social media, and in politics. A malignant narcissist believes they are above you and everyone else. They will say anything and do anything to you no matter the pain and suffering you will endure. They have no remorse and no empathy for your pain and suffering. For some listeners of this podcast, you will realize that you may be living with or have a family member or friend who fits this description in every way. We see malignant narcissists post on social media constantly. A recent example is the “8647” post by former FBI director James Comey. He put the post out and then deleted it after people called him on it. Then he lies about not knowing what it meantYou may have a malignant narcissist in your life who says anything they want to you, in order to safeguard yourself, you need to know the level of narcissist you are involved with in your life. This podcast is straightforward and covers all symptoms and signs of a malignant narcissist.

What happens when Borderline Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder overlap? Many of us understand narcissism and some of us understand borderline. However, what do you do when you find yourself in a relationship with a person who exhibits both narcissistic and borderline signs and symptoms? These relationships began very different than they present currently. When you are dealing with straight boilerplate BPD and the person is working on self-awareness, it can be manageable and easier to understand their responses and reactions. However, when we put narcissism in the mix which includes manipulation, a lack of empathy, exploitation of others, being demeaning towards others, and having entitlement, it changes things. Many people with codependency tendencies find themselves in these relationships. Sadly due to the stress of these relationships most people feel as though they lose their identities and they are forever trying to get the approval of the other person and coming up short. Listen to this podcast to obtain a better understanding of the combination of the two, how it presents, and how it makes you feel.

It's time to stop your brain from talking you out of what really happened, what was really said, and what events actually transpired that day in your life. It’s interesting how we create narratives in our minds as to what happened in a given situation, we change and augment those events to better align with keeping our current situation to offset the feelings of fear or uncertainty. We allow this reality augmentation to occur when it comes to current overwhelming events, phenomena without logical answers, and in our interpersonal relationships. In this podcast, I am offering you solutions to remember things as they happened and how to put an end to the unhealthy loop of accepting manipulation and gaslighting. These techniques will empower you and help you to get out of the matrix of codependency and stop waisting your time in exhausting relationships loops.

An imbalanced relationship is a relationship where one of the two people in the relationship is held to a higher standard than the other. In these relationships, one person creates a set of rules for the relationship but the person that creates the rules doesn’t follow them. This creates a double standard within the relationship and puts one person in control and the other being controlled. This double standard leaves one feeling confused, used, and resentful. In the podcast, we examine what it feels like to be in this kind of relationship, positively identifying the signs and symptoms, and helping you understand what’s truly happening in this relationship dynamic.

Many of us suffer or have previously suffered with self-limiting beliefs holding us back throughout our lives. As adults we either realize those beliefs exist or are unaware of their existence. We develop these self-limiting beliefs throughout childhood and they carry into our teen and adult lives impacting us daily. Ashley is joined on the podcast by children’s author and hypnotherapist Jo Galloway. Jo realizes the impact self-limiting beliefs have on us as adults and she wants to stop them in their tracks for children. Jo is passionate about helping children break free from limiting beliefs by promoting positivity, mindfulness, and self-awareness. Together, they discuss the benefits of meditation for young children and the impact of negative self-talk on self-image. They also explore the importance of stopping these negative thoughts, something many adults wish they had learned as children. Jo shares her own true-life story with Ashley. Jo was raised in a good home, but false beliefs caused her to choose tough romantic relationships as an adult. While in a relationship with a malignant narcissist, Jo realized she deserved better. She left the relationship and took the time to understand herself and reprogram her false beliefs. Join Ashley and Jo as they explore ways to nurture a strong, positive mindset in children, fostering lifelong mental well-being.

Processing and understanding our emotions and seeing our inherent value are two things we strive to achieve in our lifetime. Some of us are still struggling to master one or both of these goals. As adults many of us aren’t taught this by our family or parental unit because they were not taught it by their parents. The younger we are able to grasp these concepts and implement them the happier we will be with ourselves and in life. Joining me on today’s show is Sharmilla Fassbender, counselor, mother of four, and children’s author. Sharmilla has written three inspiring children's books, each carrying a meaningful lesson to help kids navigate life’s challenges. Through her storytelling, she empowers children to embrace growth and resilience. Her latest book, Fantastically Me!, encourages kids to embrace their uniqueness, while her upcoming release, Angry? That’s Ok!, teaches kids that anger is an emotion, but also explores healthy ways to express and manage it. Sharmilla’s books offer valuable insights not just for children but for adults as well. Tune in as we discuss her work and the powerful lessons it imparts.

A quarter-life crisis typically occurs in your 20s or 30s, bringing feelings of uncertainty and questioning the path your life is taking. This crisis affects a lot of people. Many factors go into why people have this crisis in their lives. It’s a common experience influenced by various factors, with comparison being significant. Many young adults find themselves measuring their progress against others, often leading to feelings of inadequacy or incompleteness. Today, we’re joined by Erica Connor our resident specialist, on quarter-life crises, mid-life crises, and the challenges of growing adults who struggle to gain independence from their parents. Together, Erica and I will explore the concept of a quarter-life crisis, how to better understand it, and ways to create positive change, whether for yourself or to help your kids to avoid its pitfalls. You can schedule a session with Ericka, myself, and our other therapists at https://www.ashleyberges.com/.

We hear the term narcissist thrown around a lot in daily discussion. However not all narcissism and narcissists are created equal. Some people possess a few narcissistic tendencies while others seem to display all signs and symptoms. However their is a more extreme form of narcissism that makes the regular brand of narcissism look like child’s play. A Malignant Narcissist is a narcissist that demonstrates others signs and symptoms that an overt or covert narcissist does not. This type of narcissism goes far beyond being self-absorbed or grandiosity. Under the surface, their thoughts and actions can have a calculated and sinister approach, causing significant hurt and pain to those around them. Understanding the malignant narcissist is crucial for setting boundaries and safeguarding ourselves. By identifying their traits and gaining a deeper understanding of their behavior, we empower ourselves to navigate these challenging relationships. When it comes to the malignant narcissist, knowledge truly is power.

Empathy is a wonderful personal quality, caring for others goes hand-and-hand, and giving others the benefit of the doubt goes a long way with respect to specific situations and circumstances. We can acknowledge other people's pain and life stressors. However at what point does making excuses for others actions and choices become unhealthy? Are we unintentionally enabling unhealthy behaviors? During this podcast, I fully discuss and explain when making excuses crosses the line into unhealthy territory. Recognizing when these excuses hold us back from doing what’s best for us or doing what is best for someone else. The more we stop making excuses for our actions, the less likely we are to make excuses for others. There's a fine line when excusing specific behavior becomes unhealthy, both for the people in our lives and in our own life. It’s also important to remember that we cannot judge others’ behavior without first looking at our own. Understanding this balance allows us to maintain healthier relationships and live more authentically.

Self-Limiting beliefs hold us back, creating life obstacles that impair our ability to cultivate healthy relationships, pose a barrier to understanding and embracing our true identity, and stands in the way of our personal success. Our self-limiting beliefs lead to patterns of self-sabotage that keep us from enjoying our life. It’s important to understand where these beliefs come from and learn techniques on how to reprogram them. Lea Fisher joins me on Live Your True Life Perspectives to discuss self-limiting beliefs, how to successfully work with the inner child, and how to effectively reprogram the beliefs that are holding us down. Lea is a therapist and professional artist who works with me at the Live Your True Life Institute.

False hope makes you more vulnerable to manipulation and emotional triggers from a narcissist. Understanding how false hope works is crucial otherwise, it often leads us to lose our identity and life goals. The narcissist will use future faking in an attempt to manipulate and control you, making promises that will never be fulfilled. Once we can recognize what is happening, we can then safeguard ourselves and move forward in a healthier life and direction.

Being in a toxic relationship is painful but even more painful is trying to free yourself from the relationship and move on with your life. Telling your friends and family about the relationship can be helpful until they begin to question why you are still in the relationship. They have heard you speak of the lying, the cheating, the screaming, and anything else that has taken place that is less than healthy and wonder why you are still exposing yourself to the situation. If you’re in one of these types of relationships that began with intense love bombing, you have seen the best of the relationship and afterwards how things augment. Whether you are dealing with full on manipulation, gaslighting, lying, cheating, and more, this podcast will help you to hear a true life situation and how this person is mentally and emotionally working to overcome a relationship that has taken over his life.

On today’s show, we will dive into the concept of trauma bonds, exploring what they are and how to understand them. We’ll break down the seven stages of trauma bonding and learn how to distinguish a trauma bond from real love. Additionally, we’ll examine why some individuals are more vulnerable to forming trauma bonds than others. Many people are unaware of the extreme emotional pain that comes with ending a trauma bond relationship. Understanding this dynamic is essential to protect yourself and avoid extreme heartache.

Are you the black sheep or the golden child of your family? Your role within the family can significantly shape your experiences and relationships. What parental dynamics led to this structure? As we age, how does this dynamic change? As young children, we often don’t realize whether we are the golden child or the black sheep, but over time, the division between siblings grows, along with feelings of resentment. The parents create this division to make them look better in front of others, bragging about the golden child's accolades. Join me as I discuss the lasting impacts of being labeled the black sheep or the golden child and how painful this can be, especially for those stuck in between, as well as what happens when the black sheep becomes more successful than the golden child.

Our thoughts often revolve around where we are, what we're facing, and the uncertainties of the future. We may wonder what will happen to us, our friends, or our aging parents. Fear of the unknown can creep in, especially if we're an only child or only responsible adult child with all of these responsibilities. It can feel overwhelming. How do we navigate these challenges? How do we process and respond to them? There are no right or wrong answers, there are no directions. We’re all just trying to figure it out as we go, hoping for the best. In today’s show, I want to discuss how we process these situations, compartmentalize our emotions, and move forward when a parent, family member, or friend isn’t listening to us or considering our thoughts and opinions. What can we do to put things back into perspective when we are trying to help our aging parents, family members, or friends and they don’t want to take our advice? We need to learn to be okay with that. We can offer guidance and support but can't force anyone to see things our way.

Love bombing and real love are two completely different things. The scariest part of being love bombed is that most of us don't know we're being love bombed. On this episode of the podcast, I’ll address what is love bombing, the phases of love bombing, the signs and symptoms of being a victim of love bombing, the relationship patterns of a love bomber, and why we fall into the trap of believing this is true love and a perfect relationship. In the beginning, of a relationship that begins with love bombing, we believe we have found the ultimate relationship. We get caught up in the whirlwind of the “romance,” believing we have found the love that is only seen in romantic films. I want to help you to identify love bombing before you get extremely hurt mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Listen through to the end of this podcast episode to properly educate and self-guard yourself from emotional pain and suffering.

When we are raised in an environment with a parent who has the signs and symptoms of BPD, we do not realize the impact that it has on our daily lives. As children, we often had no idea what was going on with mom or dad. One minute everything seemed great and the next minute it felt as though we were living amid an emotional roller coaster. It was always confusing, wondering which version of them we would get on any particular day. As children, this is a very difficult situation to live with, no one explained to us what was going on. In the process, it felt like we had lost our childhood to their emotions, constantly trying to change into what we thought they wanted us to be. On today’s show, I am going to talk about what it is like to be raised by a parent who has signs and symptoms of BPD. What it is like to deal with this as an adult. What does it do to us, how does it affect us, and our choices based on these situations?
Many of us feel let down by others. Being let down seems to happen more than not in today’s society. They tell us they are going to do something and they don’t. What do we do about this? How do we handle it? How do we move on? On Today’s show, we are going to take a deep dive as to why we are let down, understand the process that takes place, and enable us to look at our own lives. This will allow us to figure out why this happens to us and what we can do to move on.
On today’s show, I am talking about adjacent stress. Adjacent stress is the stress that others have and its impact on your life. It is other people’s stress and because of our relationship with them, it affects our lives. This stress can come from our spouse, our children, parents, best friend, family, and other friendships. Some people do not feel this stress, while others are highly impacted by it. If you are dealing with someone’s adjacent stress, this is the podcast for you. We need to understand adjacent stress and how to deal with it. It is great to care, but it can be difficult when we are dealing with our stress and taking on adjacent stress as well.
Stress, stress, and more stress! Many of us are under an immense amount of stress every day. This stress can come from our career, our home life, lifestyle, situations, family, relationships, regrets, and the state of the world. When we think of stress, how do we define it and how do we deal with it? We need to take a look at the choices that we have made and choices that we have not made in our lives that have created havoc and stress for us. Join me today as I take a deep dive into stress, where it is coming from, and what we can do right now to make changes In our lives to offset some of our stress.
Today’s show will discuss science and keeping our children up to date on the most innovative ways to obtain accurate information for them to learn. Joining me is Dr Penny Norman. Dr. Norman has a Ph.D. in Biophysics from UC Berkeley. Dr. Penny is dedicated not only to children but also to education. She has written more than 20 Science STEM books for elementary-aged children over the last 20 years. A number of these STEM books have sold millions of copies. These titles are based on years of work with children in the classroom and in after-school programs. She and her editor Ann Einstein have tested these materials and books over many years. Some projects work. Some do not. Some engage children. Others do not. It is only through years of “watching their faces” that activities have been sourced and selected.
Her books and kits have received numerous awards, including Family Choice Award 2018 – GOLD MEDAL, Multiple Creative Child Magazine Awards, Scientific American’s Young Reader’s Book Awards, Good Morning American’s Top Ten Children’s Toys, multiple National Parenting Magazine Awards, The Parent’s Choice Seal of Approval, PUZZLE of the YEAR from Games Magazine, and a Modern Library Award. See ScienceWiz.com for an almost complete list of her titles.
On Today’s show, we will identify the people in our lives that we pay to be in our lives. Our doctors, lawyers, accountants, and therapists are just a few examples of the people we pay to be in our lives. We pay these people to help us in our lives. We need to identify who these people are and be confident that they have our best interests in mind, often we lose sight of this. We need to make sure that the people we are paying and giving power to in our lives are there for us and give us the best possible care, advice, and interest in our lives. We need to understand why we chose these people to help us, and what it is that causes us to stick with them when they may not be the best choice for us. We give them power and hope they do the right thing. We must find people that share some of our values.
Have you ever found yourself offering a suggestion, only to be quickly turned down? The feeling of being shut down can be very disheartening. Today I want to talk about a group of society that tends to gravitate toward individuals who think they know it all. However, the reality is that very few know it all. This same type of person also seems to gravitate toward others who are narcissistic in nature. The heart of the matter lies in the issue that they only take advice from supposed know-it-alls without wanting to consider input from anyone else. This behavior most likely comes from their upbringing and family dynamics. This behavior seems to work for these individuals because it is something they are accustomed to. What works for them is very frustrating to the rest of us who care about them. The frustration is evident when the responsibility of caring for these individuals falls on our shoulders, and they refuse to take advice from anyone outside of their chosen know-it-alls.
On today’s show, I dive into the complicated relationship where one minute they love you and the next they don’t. This leaves us never knowing what is going to happen next. The uncertainty that goes along with this type of relationship has an impact on our daily lives leaving us stressed, overwhelmed, and unable to focus. Often, we find ourselves losing our sense of self, fearing being left, having our partner get angry at us, or blaming us for everything wrong. There is a lack of responsibility on their part, expecting everyone else to be responsible but them. A big part of our journey is to recognize and realize what we are dealing with. We need to ask ourselves if this relationship is worth saving. Are we both doing the work necessary to have this relationship move forward? Also, do we deserve this type of person in our lives? We cannot let their behavior rub off on us, we need to set boundaries and make sure those boundaries are respected. Are we willing to walk on eggshells our whole life with them or are we ready to take a stand for our well-being?
As children, we all wanted to be the popular kid. We wanted everyone to like us. We wanted to be the kid chosen first for the team. However, no matter what we may have done there was always one or two kids who did not like us. What happens when we are adults and this desire to be liked by everyone continues in our lives? What about us causes us to want to be liked by everyone? On today's show, I am going to be talking about why we want to be liked so badly. I am going to examine the roots of our desire for popularity and how it shapes us as adults. Are you a people-pleaser, or can you be authentically yourself without needing outside validation? It is important to understand the difference between people-pleasing and being an authentic person. We need to take a deeper look into if our childhood is triggering us. Understanding why we do things, why we make certain choices, and why some things really impact us is key to our seeing who we are. We need to uncover the reasons why being liked by everyone still impacts our lives as adults.
What does it mean to be authentic? On today’s show, we are going to be talking about authenticity. Authenticity is something we strive for in our lives. We must learn how to do this for ourselves and other people in our lives. The founder of Bridging Worlds Behavioral Service, creator of Heart-Centered Revolutions, and author of his latest book, Authenticity: The Immense Power to be Yourself, Adam Bulbulia joins us today. Adam is dedicated to showing us how being authentic is powerful and life-changing.

How do you handle an argument that you never planned on having? Have you ever had someone start an argument with you when you did nothing to provoke them? On Today’s show, we are going to take an in-depth look into arguments. Specifically, what happens when the argument comes out of the blue? We need to understand what needs to be done in these situations. To avoid being caught off guard when it occurs in the future and to enable us to react appropriately, we must learn how to retain the concept in memory.
Studies have shown that most drivers develop an emotional connection to their car. Some people even refer to their car as an old trustworthy friend. The emotional connection people feel towards their cars is interesting and can be pretty normal. Join Ashley today as she talks about the emotional attachment that we have to our vehicles and why is it so hard to let our cars go. Ashley helps us understand why we develop these connections and why it is so hard for us to say goodbye to our cars when the time comes.
I am speaking with emerging and upcoming author David Valovcin on Today's show. David is a Financial Services Technologist and has written his first book, “A Desk To Lean On.” David’s inspiration to write the book comes from his daughter Grace. Going back to school affects both parents and children. “A Desk To Lean On” helps take the guesswork out of some of the unknown when it comes to attending a new school. Join David and Ashley as they discuss what it is like to go to school, start a new school, and the importance of a support system in an often overwhelming situation for children.

Many of us are familiar with the new term work wife or work husband. It appears many of our friends or co-workers have one. Perhaps even one of us has a work wife or husband. We may hear the terminology emotional affair where someone is confiding in someone outside of their marriage for emotional support. We may feel alone in our marriage even after being married for many years. The marriage may have become a roommate situation. Listen to today’s show to learn more about marriage, the roommate situation, and having a work wife or work husband.

On today’s show, we are going to be exploring spiritual bypassing. Many of us may be using this as a defense mechanism in our own lives. Spiritual bypassing is the tendency to use spiritual explanations to avoid complex psychological issues. Rather than working through difficult emotions or confronting our issues, we dismiss things that have happened and use spiritual explanations or toxic positivity. Often this is done to protect ourselves or create harmony with other people. Another way this is used is when people judge us, but they are hiding behind their life as a highly spiritual person. Listen in today to learn more about spiritual by-passing and identify who may be using it in your life.
On today’s show, I discuss how our past and our experiences not only color our lives, but also color the way we see and interpret things that happened to us and happened to others around us.
When it comes to giving helpful advice to someone in need, we must have some sort of understanding, knowledge, and experience to provide the correct advice. In today's show, I offer a simple example of a situation that can take place to anyone at any time.
The reason why I offer this example about the grocery store, and the woman and the cart is to show how is a simple situation that you tell a friend, coworker, parent, or spouse can be observed, and discussed very differently. This particular example that I provide is extremely simple in nature. However, many of us are not asking advice from our friends and family about anything simple. The interesting part is that even a simple situation can be looked at differently by various people. When it comes to deep situations, like marital issues, possible divorce, parental alienation, and the list goes on, many people have a different take on it and offer advice that may or may not be the right advice to take.
When it comes to the big issues in our lives, we want to be sure that if we are taking advice, we are taking the right advice for us to better our situation.
We get advice from family and friends. Sometimes we ask for advice and other times it is just given to us. Throughout today's show, I’m giving you the information that you need to be able to understand both mentally and emotionally if this advice is helpful or harmful. Sometimes the advice is not advice at all. Sometimes instead of somebody giving you advice, they’re actually judging you.
We need to know where the advice is coming from and if it is advice we should be taking. It is important to keep in mind that the advice we receive is directly impacted by the person’s life experiences or lack thereof. We must decide if the advice we are being given is advice that is going to help us or make us feel worse.
On today’s show, we will be talking about your life. We are going to take a deep dive into what we really want in our life and how we are going to get it. Once we get the things we want, how do we then hold onto them? Many of us have that one thing that seems to always get in the way of us attaining what we want. Let’s examine what is missing in our lives, what we love about our lives, and finally figure out how we can get exactly what we want in our life.
Many of us may be experiencing parental alienation right now. During a separation or divorce, our children have turned against us, and we are left to understand why this happened. It is a very painful experience that often blindsides us because our relationships with our children had always been close. Join me today as I speak with Will, a father currently experiencing parental alienation. We will be discussing how it feels, why it happens, and some possible steps we can take to try and turn it around.
Today Ashley speaks with two women who are making a significant difference in the lives of children. Children today need to have ways to work through stress, be more at peace, and be comfortable with who they are. Maleku’s Gift, A story about consciousness and the power of your own breath, helps parents and children learn how to come together and do the necessary work to help children. Join Ashley and Children’s Author, former child educator, and Doctor of Educational Psychology, Jill Reed, and Patricia Coester, Children’s Book Illustrator, breathwork teacher, coach, and psychotherapist, as we discuss the book and how it is going to help parents empower our children.
As humans, we all face challenges. However, it's important to question whether these challenges truly deserve to be labeled as problems. To do this, we must first understand what defines a problem. It's crucial to analyze the situation and determine what actions we can take to make a positive change. When we define a situation as a problem we pigeonhole ourselves by seeing an issue that needs to take place that might be impossible to overcome.
Are you hyper-focused on a situation in your life? Perhaps it feels like all your energy is being consumed by this one issue. It can be difficult to navigate this kind of hyper-focus, as it often leads to neglecting other aspects of our lives and creating new problems. On today's show, I will offer some helpful advice for anyone facing this kind of situation. This advice will allow you to reach a conclusion and move forward in a positive direction.
Today on Live Your True Life Perspectives, Ashley talks with Life Transformation Coach, Illumination Guide, and children’s author Julie D’Ann. Julie has recently released her new children’s book titled, “Which Would You Choose?” This book presents experiences that children or any person may come across in life. The book also demonstrates how to choose thoughts to change feelings and emotions to make more positive choices in life. Join Ashley and Julie as they discuss higher being consciousness, your heart center, dealing with emotions, feelings, processing thoughts, and Julie’s new book.

On today’s show, I am going to identify when a narcissist has crossed the line, and how to safeguard ourselves against them. When it comes to the people in their lives, narcissists have no boundaries and have double standards. We need to identify the signs of narcissistic retaliation, their playbook, which includes everything from projections and judgment on us to the narcissist's use of flying monkeys. Once we can identify these things, we will be able to protect and distance ourselves from our relationships with narcissists.
Do you know what you want in your life? Most of us have an idea of what we want our lives to look like. Unfortunately, many of us are in limbo in our lives. We do not know how to put our thoughts and ideas into practice. We need to think about how to take what we want and make it our reality. We must make choices and decisions to change our current situations and create the life we want. Has your Marriage Become a Roommate Situation?

Recognizing the difference between the two, and seeing when there is only potential, are both critical to identifying and understanding them in your life. Let's discuss the differences between potential and performance, how to distinguish them, and the roles they both play in our relationships.
I am talking about the relationship that has left you in shambles on today's show. It started out so amazing, perfect, and unbelievable. Suddenly something changed. You are now left in the position of wondering what happened. The overwhelming anxiety is preventing you from eating or sleeping. You cannot believe that your relationship went from being so wonderful to picking up the pieces of your life and trying to move forward.
On today’s show, we are talking with author and producer, Adam Swain Ferguson about his recent book, Love Without Wings, an Adoption Fairytale. This is a heartfelt story about folks who want children and are unable to have them on their own. It covers all the obstacles people go through in order to adopt children and become families. Join me today as I talk to Adam and learn more about his intentions and the concepts of the book.

Time is our greatest illusion! Many of us make decisions that may not be the best for us based on the illusion of time. What is time and how does it impact us? Our perspective of time affects everything in our lives from our health to our life partners. Time or the illusion of time determines much of our decision-making. Often, we rush into things that may need more thought because of our fear of time. Join me as we explore the illusion of time and the effect it has on our lives.
We are impacted daily by things that we are aware of and things that we are not aware of. These impacts can affect us both positively and negatively. On today’s show, I will help us realize what is impacting us, understand what the impacts are, and how great the impact is on us. This will help us see where we are, what we are doing, and what we need to be more aware of, in our lives.
Many of us worry about being alone. Sometimes we find ourselves settling because of our fear of being alone. It seems that this fear is a very common theme. We may tolerate and accept things from others that we would not usually do because of our fear of being alone. Often this fear pushes us to a place of not being able to identify ourselves. In the process of not wanting to be alone over time, we lose ourselves. If you must change who you are as a person, or give up things that are important to stay in the relationship, you need to measure what is going on and does this relationship benefit you. Join me today as I look into understanding the fear of being alone and what it is saying about you, while in a relationship.
Join me on today’s show as we explore what we can do to become new and improved versions of ourselves. What do we need to start doing today to make these changes happen? The start of a new year is a wonderful opportunity to begin looking at these questions and determine what adjustments we need to make to allow us to feel more at ease, peaceful, happier, and healthier. Relationships fuel both our happiness and our pain. We need to be able to understand and recognize our numerous relationships to be new and improved. Once we can understand these, we will be able to see what we need to do to make changes in our situations to feel better about our lives. The key in life is to work hard to be a better person than we were the day before.
We all walk a journey in life. Often, the journey can be long, overwhelming, and challenging. Other times the journey can be the best thing in the world. Throughout this journey that we call life, we need to constantly be learning and growing to make ourselves better and stronger every day. Sometimes we just go through the motions and do not realize all that is going on around us. How do we understand our truth and see our life and goodness? How do we begin to manage and process what we need in our lives? Join me today as we find answers to these questions and others, to understand our reality and move forward in life.
On Today's show, I want to talk about how to stay healthy. It is important to stay healthy throughout the entire year. When we don’t feel well we get stressed and anxious. When we get sick we tend to reflect back and wonder what we could have done to have prevented the illness. Along with the physical symptoms of an illness, we can experience emotional symptoms. Seasonal Affective Disorder, “SAD”, is an emotional illness that can bring us down. Join me as I give some tips and tricks on how to stay well both physically and emotionally this year.
Today’s show is about the signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Many of us may have grown up with a family member, have been, or are currently in a relationship with someone who has signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Some of us may even have signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder ourselves. Join me today to identify the symptoms and understand how it affects you, whether you have borderline personality disorder, or are living with someone who does.
Stress, strain, and overwhelm! How do we refocus on our lives? What are some important things in your life that you may be pushing aside, not thinking about, or not focusing on? Often, we don’t think about the things happening in the moment because we are concentrating on the stress and drama in our lives. We have many responsibilities, feelings, and emotions, that we process daily. When these thoughts weigh on us, we tend to not focus on what needs to be done in the moment. Join me today for some tips and tricks on slowing down and accomplishing some of the things we need to be doing in the moment.
It's time to reflect on, comprehend, and process the past year we've personally had. It is also time to use this knowledge to get ready for the upcoming year. Let's look closely at the opportunities and chances that have and have not happened, whether expected or not. Join me today as we examine your year in greater detail.
What is something in your life that seems to be missing? Finding this missing piece will lead you to feel more satisfied and content. Many of us believe that something is missing in our lives and need to figure out how to find it. When we have this empty feeling, we are left in a very challenging situation Being able to pinpoint exactly what it is and how to obtain it will prove very powerful to us. Join me today as I explore how to figure out what is missing in your life and what you can do to attain it.
Being able to help children grow and learn in life is very valuable. For children to become well-rounded it is important that they are exposed to as many outlets and experiences as possible. The quality and quantity of information will contribute to their growth and learning. Children's Author C. Jordan is with me today. Jordan has written the book, Ethan’s Truck Learning Adventures! This creative book provides an opportunity for children to explore and learn so many cool new things. The book is based on the author's energetic and curious son Ethan. The book encourages children to use their imagination without fear and get excited about learning. Join us today to learn more about the book, Ethan, and author C. Jordan.
How often do you wait for others to make decisions impacting your life? In the process of waiting for these decisions, you put your life on hold. For many of us, this happens more often than we may want to admit. This throws us into the waiting game, waiting for them to step up and do exactly what they said they would. Join me today as I discuss further what it feels like to put your life on hold while waiting for someone else to follow through on their word, decide, or just be honest with you. Also, what you can do to prevent this from happening in your life
Where are you directing your energy? On Today’s show, I am going to discuss energy, both what and whom we are putting our energy into. We must become aware of where our energy is going. Often, we do not realize what is sucking the energy out of us. If you have gone through or are currently going through a negative family, work, or friendship situation that has taken over a lot of your mind share, this show will help identify where your energy is going to help you make changes in your life.
Join me today as I reveal the differences between enabling and helping. Quite often, we want to help our friends, family, or loved ones. However, in the process, we may end up enabling rather than helping. Sometimes the help turns to harm without us realizing what is going on. Let's look at the differences between helping and enabling. We need to be able to recognize and understand when we are enabling, and when we may be enabled.
Are you an enabler or are you helping someone? Join me today as I dive deeper into the differences between enabling and truly helping. Many of us do not realize that we are enabling someone rather than being a help to them. We help people because we care about them. We help them work through and identify things that they may be struggling with. It is not healthy to be an enabler. At what point does helping become enabling? Let’s get a clearer understanding of what enabling is, and augment what we do so that we are able to help but not enable.
Today’s show will discuss different types of relationships, and how these relationships shape the thought process of society. Often, we get into relationships believing that the other person will make us happy, but in reality, we are the only person who can make ourselves happy. Not everyone is in a monogamous relationship. There are many different types of relationships that work well for others. Join me as I help educate us about what others are choosing over monogamous relationships. I will also take a deeper look at how the polyamorous relationship is just one option that works for many people.
Many of us engage in self-sabotaging behaviors. Self-sabotage can occur either consciously or unconsciously. On today’s show, we are going to explore self-sabotage. We will look at the different types of self-sabotage and how our core beliefs influence the reasons we may self-sabotage. Self-sabotage gets in our way of happiness and presents conflict in our lives. Join me as I talk with Adriana. Adriana is going to give her perspective on how self-sabotage has affected her life and some of the things she has done to eliminate self-sabotage.

On today’s show, we are going to be talking about the concept of blocking. What happens when someone blocks you, and why do we feel the need to block others? It is a very painful experience to be blocked by someone whom you believed to be very important to you. When we are blocked, especially out of the blue, we are not able to talk about our feelings, concerns, or fears with the other person. Many of us have been blocked and found it to be overwhelming. Joining me today is Adriana. Adriana is going to share her experiences of what it feels like to be blocked and how it feels to be the person doing the blocking.
Today's show is about Pre-school, communication, and connection with our children. When we connect with our children, we can have a greater understanding of them. Additionally, this connection allows them to understand themselves and their emotions much clearer. Pre-school is a very important developmental step in the lives of children. When done correctly, pre-school can be a safe and formative place for our children to learn, grow and connect with themselves and others. Joining me today is children’s author, Jeanette Crystal Bradley. Jeanette has written a sing-along book titled, The First 12 Days of Preschool. If you are a parent, you are aware of all the emotions that both parents and children go through when starting preschool. Jeanette hopes that her book will help to ease the transition into preschool through her beautiful illustrations and memorable tune.

Do someone's lies have you questioning your own reality? Perhaps you are experiencing manipulation and gaslighting right now. We may not have a full understanding of what is happening to us. The closer the relationship is, the more difficult it becomes to see what is going on. Often, we find ourselves questioning the truth. This questioning takes us off target and may distract us in life. Today’s show is going to offer you some guidance and point out red flags to be aware of if you are questioning your reality due to someone’s lies. Most importantly, I am going to help you change the situation, find out the truth to make the situation better, see things clearer, and get closure if necessary.

When you are being mirrored, someone is copying or imitating your characteristics, traits, and behaviors. Does it feel like you have someone in your life that seems to be a bit too much like you? Often, we are not aware that we are being mirrored. We believe that we have so many similar thoughts, feelings, and characteristics as this person. Oftentimes, we have found our perfect companion. It may feel as though we are looking at ourselves in the mirror. Although mirroring can feel good, it is important to figure out if these commonalities are true or, is it a case of mirroring.
Do you have a narcissist in your life? Are you able to identify who that malignant narcissist is? In today’s show, I want to discuss the traits of the malignant narcissist and how to understand them. The show will give you the knowledge to identify when you are dealing with someone who has these traits, symptoms, and signs. We may also be operating with codependent programming that caters directly into the malignant narcissist behavior that makes it even more complicated to identity. Having this knowledge will be powerful for you when dealing with a malignant narcissist. Remember, we are not always aware that we are dealing with someone with these traits. We might feel like we have connections and similarities to the person with the narcissistic traits however, that may not be the truth. Join me today to learn more about narcissism and what you can do to safeguard yourself when someone in your life has the signs and symptoms of it.
We all matter, but what does it mean to matter? Many of us have grown up experiencing a narrative of feeling like we only matter if we are doing for others and giving of ourselves. We do not necessarily need to stop giving and doing for others to matter, but we must also derive our value from within. We were never taught that we have value and matter just because we are human. Today's show is going to help us figure out how we are valuable, how we matter, and not focus on what we do for others to find our value. We matter, no matter what.
Arguments, we all have had them at some point in our lives. Some arguments may have been more heated than others. The arguments we have with the people we are the closest to are the most challenging. It is easier to argue with a stranger than with someone close to us. The challenge occurs when we try to keep our cool during a heated, emotional argument, with a parent, spouse, or someone very close to us. In today’s podcast, I am going to discuss arguments and how attachment styles relate to the way we argue. I am going to give some suggestions on how to keep cool, keep your stress level down, and how to de-escalate an argument. Take the quiz below to learn what your attachment style is, and watch the video in the link below to learn more about attachment styles.

Many of us remember our school years, some of us have fond memories of school and others of us do not. Fitting in at school can be difficult and children can be mean especially when it comes to other’s differences. Children’s Author and Creator of the Harold From the Hood Series, Jim Price, joins Live Your True Life Perspective to share his stories about Harold and his friends. The Harold From the Hood series are fun and entertaining books for kids that also help children to begin to understand diversity. Understanding diversity and inclusion are important as children grow up so they can embrace other’s differences. If you’re a parent, you remember those times when what set you apart was not a good thing, you tried to fit in, and you just wanted to be like everyone else. It wasn’t until you grew up, that you were able to embrace your differences. With the help of this series and Jim’s message, he would like to help students embrace their differences much earlier in life.

A relationship wedge is anything that has the potential to drive you and someone you care about apart. Today’s show will identify relationship wedges, what they are, and how they appear. Often the people who create the wedge are unaware of why they are doing it. The wedge in a relationship can be many different things, it does not have to be just one. Some examples of wedges may be forever ammunition, a person, or a particular situation. Sometimes the situation may not have ever happened but is living in the mind of someone, and they insist that it occurred when it never did. Join me in listening while we explore these concepts, become more aware of what can cause the wedge, and diagnose why these wedges are happening.

The way we communicate can either calm or trigger other people. Additionally, we all have different attachment styles. These attachment styles impact all of our relationships. Although we are all individuals with different thought processes, some of us may have similar thoughts, but never the exact same. For the most part, we all try to get along, be helpful, and be positive. Some empaths live amongst us. Empaths care deeply about other humans, animals, and nature. It does not matter if you are an empath or not, we all get confused at times by the choices, behaviors, and comments of others. In today’s show, I am going to discuss how we can work to communicate in a more calming and productive manner. This will enable us to understand where we are coming from and not get confused.
Are you an empath? Being empathetic is a superpower. Often, that superpower may feel like a burden. Empaths take in and try to process feelings, sometimes leading to emotional overload. In today’s show, I am going to share with you some ways to be successful as an empath. Discover how to feel your feelings, process feelings, spotlight your superpowers and help others without feeling used, overwhelmed, or helpless. Also, find out how to create a successful morning routine for you to thrive and use your superpower to the best of your ability.
Can you form a healthy relationship with a person you meet on a dating site? There is a way to look at multiple different variables, and be able to have the ability to see exactly what is going on. One good thing about dating sites is that most likely, everyone is there to meet someone, unlike walking down the street or going to a bar where many people may not be looking to date. We need to understand the variables of dating sites to have them work best for us. Join me today in examining dating sites, to find out if it is possible to find a healthy relationship while using them.
Are you fascinated by the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation case? People from all over the world are drawn to their televisions to watch the case live. It appears sides have been chosen. Most likely, you feel that one person is more liable than the other. In this case, neither parties hands are completely clean. There is definite division in this case. Many support Johnny Depp, while others are behind Amber Heard. Many factors have gone into this case to allow this reality to take place. Some of the fascination is due to the relatable events that have gone on in this relationship. Join me today in discussing this case and how it parallels many of our relationships today.
Routines enable us to create clarity, alleviate anxiety, and reduce stress while preparing us for the next day. Often, we have a morning routine and a routine at work, but do not have a night routine. When we come home at night after work and do not have a nightly routine, tasks do not get accomplished. When we wake up the next morning, we realize everything that we did not do the night before. This causes us to feel like we were less productive than we should have been. A solid nightly routine will help us be more successful, have clarity, and understanding. Join me today, as I discuss what it looks like to have a nightly routine.
How do you know if you are in a relationship with someone who is very controlling? Often, we do not realize we are in a relationship with someone who is controlling. This may be because we were brought up around that type of behavior our whole lives. In today’s show, I will give you indications that the person you are in a relationship with is controlling you, whether the relationship is romantic, a friendship, or work. I am also going to provide you with some things that you can do to overcome this control. It is important to learn how to stop the programming of giving in to others’ control to not lose your independence and Identity.

When we are in fear of losing a relationship, we do not speak our truth. This fear ultimately gets in the way of us doing what is right by our values, beliefs, and the boundaries we have in place. It is important for us to understand when we are in this place of fear, what is happening and why we are being held back from speaking the truth. We need to know what are some things that we can do to see the situation for what it really is. If you are going through an unhealthy relationship, are in fear of it, and have not spoken your truth, you definitely don’t want to miss this show.

Do you need to find the strength to be able to manage and possibly move on from an unhealthy relationship? Many folks have tried to leave relationships multiple times. They tend to go back out of fear, and quickly realize that things in the relationship haven't changed. We go back into relationships for many reasons. Often, we reminisce on the past, romanticize the relationship, and fear a failed relationship. We also may feel guilt, shame, and the fear being alone. I understand fearing a failed marriage, but is it more important to find and cultivate one’s identity? The concept of purpose is a very deep challenge, it's finding your truth, your true identity, and being able to be that truth no matter what. Usually when we are in toxic relationships, whether they are family, romantic, or work-related, we are not able to be ourselves. Instead, these relationships have us walking on egg shells and feeling fearful. During this time, we appear to be in the process of losing ourself and losing the precious time we could be using to cultivate our true life. Often, when we are in these unhealthy relationships, we do not realize the impact it has on family and friends. We need to reach out to our friends and family and explain what has been going on. If there are children involved, we need to take them into consideration, understand how to open the lines of communication, and how to create a situation for everyone's growth and peace. Being true to your values will allow you to find your purpose of identity. However, you do not necessarily have to leave the relationship to learn about your values, to grow, and to begin to find your truth. You can do the work while you are in the relationship. The results of your hard work may make differences that can better the relationship, or it may make it easier for you to make healthier choices. You need to take a deep look into the relationship to see the situation clearly in order to decide what will be best for you.
Road Rage! Most likely we have all been a part of a road rage incident, either as the aggressor or the victim. Occurrences of road rage are on the rise. We need to understand why there is road rage and how we can safeguard ourselves to not fall prey into it. We are at a time where there is a lot of stress, anxiety, resentment, and anger. Unfortunately, there are not many outlets for those feelings. We have to take a look at what we are doing with our anger and how to react when someone comes at us with their road rage. We must learn how to respond appropriately so that we don’t get pulled into the situation. We need to understand where it is going worldwide and why road rage is happening. In today’s show I will take a look at road rage from all angles, see both sides of the situation and discuss the inherent reasons people engage, and how to protect yourself whether you are feeling rage or being raged upon. Listen to the podcast and safeguard your time and energy today!
Are you thinking of leaving an unhealthy relationship? Do you need to find the strength to leave and move on? Have you been thinking about leaving and moving on but seem to not have the willpower or energy to leave? Throughout this podcast, I will provide you with real techniques to get clarity and understanding about you and your relationship. I will also help you find the strength needed to see things clearly, and begin to see your life without the other person. Once we see the events of the relationships clearly, we can begin to see why things took place and bring attention to the red flags we didn't want to see. As we look further into the relationship, we will begin to understand parts of the relationship we previously may not have understood. We must look at the crumbs we received during the relationship, because at the time we were unaware that they were crumbs. It is essential to examine your values, understand your values, and be able to see where you and your values have been walked all over. As you listen to this podcast, you will do inventory of your relationship, see it clearly, see where you stand, and gain the strength you will need to stand up for what you believe in and stand for. Sometimes we find ourselves waiting on them to make a decision and that usually doesn't benefit us and it usually makes us feel resentment and frustration.

Real Love or Pedestal Phase? https://youtu.be/3HG_TQD0xOE
Have you ever had someone tell you how great you are, sing your praises, then find fault in you, and eventually cut you out of their life completely? Is there someone in your life who tends to see things in only black or white? They may see people as either being for or against them, and tend to see the extremes. We may know someone who may take this to extremes. However, we must ask ourselves if we tend to see things in black and white sometimes? When we interact with people who have signs and symptoms of BPD, we may see them demonstrate splitting with everyone and everything. In order to not get swept up in other people's splitting, we must understand what it is and why they do it. Splitting is also linked to the pedestal stage in the love bombing phase in relationships. Often when a person is being love bombed, they aren't aware and fall into the trap of the attention. Eventually the person is devalued and even discarded. Because of the experience, they tend to be in a blender of emotions and are challenged to pick up the pieces. They must work to embark on a self-understanding journey. This podcast will help you to identify splitting, understand why people tend to use splitting, and how to avoid falling into the trap of giving it power over you when it is being done to you.

What does it mean to be love bombed? Are you in a relationship where you are currently being love bombed by the other person? We need to become aware of what love bombing is and understand what it looks like when it is happening to us. When we are able to identify love bombing, it will become a very powerful tool. While in the grips of love bombing the feeling can be amazing. Love bombing usually goes under the radar because for many people who are on the receiving end, they have never experienced this level of care, attention, and interaction. When you're being love bombed, it feels like a whirlwind romance, like something you see in a movie. We must be able to figure out if what is happening is real or are we being love bombed. Often times, the person doing the love bombing is not even aware they are doing it. This podcast will be very helpful for you to understand what is love bombing, how do we see it, and how can we recognize it when it is happening to us or someone we know.

While listening to this podcast, you can take some mindful moments to analyze and see clearly who the challening, demanding, and negative people are in your life. In the beginning of the podcast, I am offering you ways of becoming aware of who they are, understanding the characteristics they will have in common, and how to spot them. Also, I'm discussing why we allow them in our lives and ultimately how to safeguard yourself from them and their energy. Some of these people you can let go of, others we can't but we can get emotional distance.

Were you on the receiving end of the silent treatment growing up? Did you receive the silent treatment as a child? How did the silent treatment from your mother or father impact you? The silent treatment impacts us as a child and impacts our entire life if we aren’t aware of the impact it makes on our lives. When a child grows up experiencing the silent treatment, it can impact them in their adult relationships and impact their interactions with their children. Listen to the podcast and get more understanding and answers.
What do you want to see happen this year?
What will happen in your new chapter/book that is you this year?
What do you want to augment this year?
In today’s Live Your True Life Perspectives, I’ve identified the value we can give ourselves this year.
Within this value that we can give ourselves, we will embark on identifying our personal values, understanding how to live by them, and how to grow stronger within our values.
We will be more personally aware of ourselves, our intentions, and our core beliefs and values. We hear a lot about unconditional love and we will be exploring what that means and how to begin to find that for ourselves and for others in our life. Very important is to understand others and even more important is to understand our self so we can better understand the world around us. When we have self-understanding we are able to have more self-awareness and we are able to see ourselves clearly and honestly to see our attributes and to see our shortcomings to make our life better. Lastly we will be discovering expression. When we are able to honestly and positively express ourselves, we are able to communicate better and understand others.

Since we were children, out of simple preservation, we overlooked and pretended the dysfunction did not exist with regards to our family. Throughout our lives, we still do that, we overlook dysfunction in our lives, our friends, and our family. However, what happens when you point it out with certain people? How do some people deal with you pointing out the elephant in the room? In today's show, Ashley is discussing how to begin to see the dysfunction, what to do when you see it, and how to know if this is someone you can bring it up to or simply distance yourself.
Are you currently in a relationship, romantic, friendship, or marriage where you are constantly having to prove your value, your innocence, or truth? Are you experiencing sadness and depression and don't know why this is happening? Have you recognized the patterns of this relationship? Do you have idea why you are experiencing this type of dysfunction? Are you looking for answers? Catch the live feed and get some honest answers and possible solutions to better your current situation.
In today's live show Ashley will be exploring and explaining the common mistakes made when dating after a toxic relationship that creates more dead-end relationships that go no where. Ashley reveals the specifics to changing the old programming and moving you into a position of being in a healthy state of mind allowing you to find someone who is also healthy. Tune in to the show and lets have some fun discussing relationships and the relationship with ourselves.
In today's live show Ashley will be exploring and explaining positivity and at what point it turns toxic. Many of us are optimistic and try to find the silver lining no matter what, however their are those times that pain, suffering, and turmoil are part of life, how do we deal with it for ourselves and how do we talk to our friends and family when they 're going through turmoil? We will be understanding the difference between optimism and toxic positivity and how to be more aware of our words and the words of others. There is nothing wrong with positivity however we want to be aware of other's feelings and needs when going through stress and pain. A family member may use toxic positivity and it may be making you feel weak, depressed, or that your feelings are wrong.
In today's live show Ashley will be exploring and explaining some tactics and games people use to manipulate and control others. These games are highly effective and can create sadness, confusion, frustration, and resentment. The more you understand these tactics and how they are presented the better you can safeguard yourself. Ashley will be explaining forever ammunition, the silent treatment, victimhood, entitlement and put downs. Listen to the show to get the knowledge you protect yourself and to spot manipulation a mile away.
Do you identify yourself as a perfectionist? Do you find yourself stuck sometimes unable to finish or even start a project? Do you wonder how all of this began? Are you looking for some solutions to help offset perfectionism and help you to achieve your daily goals in an easier manner? In today's show I am offering some ways to achieving peace in your day to day life when it comes to taking action. You don't have to be a slave to your perfectionism anymore.
On today's live radio show, Live Your True Life Perspectives, I'm discussing the parent child dynamic when it comes to raising a child with signs and symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. We will be discussing the signs and symptoms, what to look for, the driving force behind the behavior, treatment options, and limits and boundaries that need to be established and followed to help you and your kid. Randi is the author of Stop Walking on Eggshells.
Creating and being consistent with boundaries in our relationships is vitally important to the health of all relationships, but can be extremely challenging to implement. Many of us find ourselves in long-term relationships that have no boundaries. We may feel like it is impossible to create healthy boundaries, because we fear how the other person will react. It is a'lot easier to create boundaries in new relationships because we begin the relationships with certain values and conditions in mind. In today's podcast, we will be discussing, ways of establishing boundaries in long time relationships, how it feels to not create boundaries and not have sufficient boundaries in relationships, and ultimately what happens to relationships with no boundaries.
Exiting a toxic relationship is challenging to say the least. Our mind makes us question ourselves, the relationship, and if we will ever find a good person to be in a relationship with, or if we're destined to live on our own for the rest of our life. We wonder if we will ever meet someone that we will get along with. We worry that we may be alone for the rest of our life. Sometimes we wonder if we're destined to always be in toxic relationships. Being alone is a huge fear for most people and that fear perpetuates toxic relationships because sometimes we take what we can get assuming there won’t be another option. Sadly the longer our core wounds and fears run our lives the more unhappy we will be and the longer we will be in destructive relationships. The core fear of abandonment is another core fear that can put us into relationships that don’t encourage our authentic self and keep us in the loop of the toxic relationship that keeps us tied up, however a toxic relationship can, if we use it properly, can create personal awareness and clarity.
Many of you have heard about ghosting and many of us may have been ghosted recently. When someone ghosts you, you are left with unanswered questions, sadness, and a feeling of emptiness. We wonder what we could have done differently, did we say something wrong, and ultimately wondering what happened to the other person. Usually you text more messages and there is no response and after a while you begin to let it go. However, more often than not the person who ghosted you may reappear when you least expect it. When someone resurfaces we need to safeguard ourself. Some of these ghosts will resurface and others will not. Throughout this podcast I reveal why people ghost, why they may resurface, the emotions we go through when we are ghosted, the core wounds that are ignited with the act of being ghosted, and the various ways to safeguard yourself from more pain and trauma. Ghosting is a way out of a situation without explanation, without revealing the truth, and the ability to avoid confrontation or emotional and mental exposure. Whether you have ghosted or been ghosted, this podcast is revealing and helpful in understanding the reasoning and how to stop ghosting and or how to recalibrate after being ghosted and stop beating yourself up emotionally.

We need support systems, we need guidance and understanding especially in crisis situations. The loss of an infant is overwhelming, difficult to process, and even more difficult to explain to the rest of the family including young children.

We share with you this segment, Je'Nai walks us through the loss of her infant -the exact situation that lead her to writing the book to help and comfort others.

On today's show, I am discussing narcissistic abuse, the signs of it, the way it can make you feel, and ways to identify someone walking over your boundaries without always needing to know all signs of NPD. Our best defense is knowing ourselves and understanding exactly who we are as an individual.
Much like how the United States received its freedom from the British, each and everyone of us go through a rebirth process that leads to freedom. Much like the phoenix, we recreate ourselves, battling inner and outer battles, working to ultimately win the war, and then solidifying our solid true self. In today's show, I am illuminating how we find freedom in our own life, freedom in our relationships, and freedom in our thoughts and emotions.
What do you spend your time thinking about and what you spend your time doing? Let's analyze our use of time & what we spend our time focused on. Often times, we don't realize how much energy we use thinking about certain things in our life. In order to live a happier and healthier life, we must do a personal mental inventory of our thoughts to better understand not only our feelings but to better understand our focus. Dan Nelson joins us on the show today with his historic perspective.
Whether someone is paying you a compliment or giving you a backhanded insult, how do you protect yourself and see the situation clearly. On today's show I am addressing ways you can dissect the compliment and insult and to be sure that you are understanding and not giving too much power over you. Often times, we may not realize what somebody is actually saying to us and how they want us to feel and what they are really trying to tell us, positive or negative we need to understand why it's being said, what the reason is and how to not allow it to control our lives. In todays show I am here to introduce the concept of neutrality, how to stay neutral no matter what is being told to you. Often we allow the good things to make us feel good and the bad comments to bring us way down. I'm here to offer advice and help to create peace. Dan Nelson joins me today by phone to offer his historical perspective!
Marriages can be wonderful integrations of two people coming together to create a home, a family, and a future. However, marriages can shift and augment into something different. As we know, people grow, change, and learn as we get wiser and sometimes we grow in similar ways and other times we don't. More and more people are complaining that their marriage has become a roommate situation and in today's show we are examining the roommate situation, what it means, how to determine length of time, and other factors that can lead to this situation. When we understand more of what we are going through, we are able to begin to look and find solutions. Later in the hour, Dan Nelson will be on with his historical perspective offering information from our historic past.
Many of us are not aware that we are dealing with one or more core wounds on a daily basis. We don't realize the impact it has on our life and how we make decisions, enter into relationships, and make decisions based on them. On today's show in a positive way we will safely explore these wounds and be able to see our lives with more clarity. Dan Nelson will be with us today offering up some history with regards to Eli Lilly the pharmaceutical company and its origins.
More often than not, we can mistake codependency for unconditional love. When we don't know the difference we're unable to understand ourselves and our relationships with clarity. In today's show, I will identity signs of codependency and signs of unconditional love so we can determine the difference and better understand where we stand. Later in the hour, Dan Nelson, our resident historian joins us with the historical perspective.
I'm meeting with Dr. Joe Famularo, author of the new book: IOU Life Leadership. You owe it to yourself and others! We will be discussing what is IOU Living, how to be a leader in our own life, the inward and outward anchors we need, and the three life relationships. Dan will be back next week.
Often when we interact with a narcissist, we aren't aware. We don't realize the signs of narcissism when we are interacting with a friend, family member, or significant other. In these relationships we can feel taken advantage, not thought about, and even discarded. In today's show we will examine traits of narcissism and explore the programming of giving to the narcissist, feeling bad, getting nothing in return, and then feeling bad for not giving more. Dan Nelson our resident historian joins us in the third segment to tell us a true life story of an emperor without a kingdom.
Am I experiencing a trauma bond? In today's show we are exploring trauma bonds, what they are, the signs of a trauma bond, and why we get into them in the first place. Trauma bonds are extremely addictive and challenging to break away from and move on to find our own true identity. The reason for difficulty is based on our upbringing and programming. We will explore stages of trauma bonding as well. Dan will back in the studio next week for our historical perspective.
Moving homes, changing communities, and leaving behind our friends affects us all in different ways. Marla Huehmer author of "The Big Move" joins Ashley Berges on Live Your True Life Perspectives. Marla is a school psychologist and creator of ThinkAheadKids. Moving to a new place affects everyone in different ways. Our children are affected more than we know it and we need to help them to deal with a family move in a healthy way. This show will connect with anyone who has had to move from their home and anyone with children dealing with these life changes.

We give words immense power, and in the process we lose sight of action. Even though actions speak louder than words, we tend to forget that all together. We forget that in our relationships and within ourselves. We listen to what people tell us and we forget to see if they follow it up with action. There’s a tendency of finding ourselves in friendships and relationships that push our boundaries, if we have any to begin with. The relationships that we feel are true love may be a trauma bond instead. People we know may use manipulation and gaslighting to get what they want from us, keeping us confused as to what is really happening in the relationship. Some people know how powerful their words are and use profanity or racial slurs to depict their feelings, causing pain and sadness. Others realize the power they have and use the silent treatment to hurt others by cutting communication entirely making the other person feel in prison. When a spouse tells you every time you have an argument that they want a divorce. The power of that word is intense and causes pain and also is extremely controlling and manipulative.
No matter the relationship, parent, family, friend, enemy, or romantic relationship, every person we come into contact helps us to see ourselves more clearly. The other people in our life mirror us in ways we sometimes are unaware. When we find ourselves in toxic relationships, when things get truly "bad" we may find the strength to go and find answers leading to answers to understand us and how we tick. This show is live and on the radio. Music is owned by Live Your True Life and the band Sons of the Lawless.
In today's live radio show, I will be discussing why we stay in relationships that don't make us happy and why we started living this way in the first place. In order to understand why we are here we must understand where we came from and how it began. Today's show will be exposing some ah-ha moments about life and how to make decisions that can make your life better. Dan Nelson joins us later in the hour and offers us a history lesson that you can't find online.
Isn't interesting how we catch the limiting thoughts of others but it's challenging to see our own limiting thoughts and beliefs? How do we begin to see how we are stuck in our own ways? How do we recognize it? And better yet. how can we begin to make the changes necessary to live our true life? Thank you for tuning into the live stream of Live Your True Life Perspectives, a nationally syndicated radio show.
We do great things from our imagination. One idea can change the world. Reading is a fundamental way to success. Crystal Bussell author of "The Cherry Larrys vs. Poison Berry" joins Live Your True Life Perspectives with Ashley Berges. Crystal is an author, mother of two, and business owner. Crystal and her family experienced the loss of their family throughout COVID and in the process decided to write a book to lift the spirits of her children and family. We discuss the concept of the book, how we as children look up to others and sometimes we have to stand up to them and stand up for our values even though we care about them. The concept of staying true to ourselves is present throughout the entire story. This is a great story to read to your children or grandchildren. Catch the show, and connect with Crystal, as she tells us about writing, overcoming adversity, motivating one's self, and creating stories for the betterment of our future.

I've realized beginning on day one of our life here on this planet we begin to be programmed. We are programmed by our parents, environment, and upbringing. That programming impacts our lives in every way possible. The programming impacts how we interrupt something said or an action done by another. The programming inspires the creation of who we are and how we act in every situation and every relationship. The impact on our romantic relationships is huge. Do we follow a codepedent program? How about instead the savior program? What about the victim program? Do we find ourselves proving our value to someone we are in a romantic relationship with because we were constantly proving our value to our parents? By listening to this podcast, you will begin to recognize the programming you possess and how it is impacting your life. You will also be able to identity other people's programming. This is very eye opening and helpful to understanding yourself and the people you spend the most time.
Do you want to achieve clarity and understanding into your relationship? Are you struggling to understand what is normal from previous programming and what is actually healthy? Do you feel you're losing yourself in the relationship and hoping to find stability and personal understanding? Would you like to understand why your spouse is treating you a specific way and would you like to gain personal power in the current relationship? Work one-on-one with me to explore, understand, and create full clarity. Schedule your first session with me today! https://www.ashleyberges.com/coaching-sessions

What does the new norm do to our thoughts? How does it impact our day-to-day life? How do we interpret what we see? This last year has been one for the record books with our new form of separation, extreme fear, the wearing of masks, fear of venturing into public spaces, and the issues that masks create by hiding our smiles and how it can interfere with our depth perception. In today's show, I begin with discussing the funny side of the new norm. I've found some funny "new norm" thoughts that are making me see everything including film and tv shows differently. Later in the hour, I'm discussing how separation and isolation has impacted our lives on multiple levels. Also, discussing how programming impacts our lives. This podcast will bring a smile to your face as well as perhaps at least one ah-ha moment. Thank you for listening to the show, please share your comments in the comment section!
Friendship, unity, understanding, tradition, spirituality, and mystery are all weaved into The Libertalia Trilogy. Mel Lewis, author of adult and children's books and the author of The Libertalia Trilogy joins Ashley on Live Your True Life Perspectives. Mel and Ashley discuss her inspirations for writing the trilogy, the depth of the character development, and the concept of the books.
Mystery meets history in Mel Lewis’ YA fiction trilogy, Libertalia, aimed at 11-16 year olds. Filled with unexpected twists and turns, the Libertalia series starts its journey in a private boarding school in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. The story is a melting pot of friendship, mystery and treasure, peppered with suspense, intrigue and African legend. The series takes its characters on a journey to a sangoma’s (traditional healer) hut in the Eastern Cape, searching for ancient treasure in Zimbabwe in Libertalia Lost Fortunes, and facing family betrayal in Madagascar in Libertalia Quest for Land. The characters are diverse and strong, and we see them tackle a host of challenges with aplomb.
Lewis keeps readers captivated by the tricky situations and difficult choices the main characters are faced with. Not straying too far from history, the connections built between legend and modern day life keep us guessing. The final book in the Libertalia trilogy, is Libertalia The End of an Era. As the young teens become young adults in the final book, the story will delight readers with its entertaining blend of heartache, friendship and, of course… treasure.
In this current climate, why not encourage your tweens to put down their screens and engage in a series that’s not only quick and fun to read but filled with intrigue, adventure and multicultural characters. You can find the Libertalia trilogy in local bookstores or on Amazon.

Understanding oneself is key. We were once children and we remember how challenging it was to understand our feelings and emotions. More often our go-to emotion was anger because we didn't understand why we were angry or scared. When a child or young adult understands their emotions and is able to write about them and even draw them, it makes them more successful and more mindful. Ashley has a conversation with Shearin and John Lee on Live Your True Life Perspectives. They are the creators of "Big Changes, New Adventures! A Covid Feelings Workbook." This workbook is a thoughtful and cutting edge way to helping your children understand themselves, their feelings, and allows them to process what is happening in their life and in the world.

During the past almost eleven months, we have gone through a change of massive proportion. We have changed our living patterns and interaction greatly and many of us are feeling lonely or isolated. How do we communicate better, clearer, and with more purpose and passion. Dan Nelson joins me later in the hour for his historic perspective.
Many of us fall into a trap of defining people either black or white, angel or villain. This type of thinking can cause problems in our life.

We have all been children at one time or another, many of us have children, some of us are children, and some of us are working daily to connect with our inner child. Children's books can present a lesson and present it in a safe and powerful way. Children's books are not just for children, they can empower the entire family. Kiki the Homesick Koala is the latest book from notable children's author Max Lees. Max wrote the book as a self-expression when he was teaching English in Japan. He was feeling homesick and created the book based on his own adventures and feelings towards his family. Kiki wonders far from home, gains many experiences, meets lots of new people, and learns a lot about herself. Family and connection is very important to Max and he hopes to bring that family embrace to every family who reads this book to their children. Max spotlights what we can do to take control of our life, find adventure, but to get back home and appreciate the family and the familiar.

What have we learned so far this year? On today's live stream of Live Your True Life Perspectives, I'm discussing change, upheaval, tunnel vision, awakenings, and some powerful things we can do prior to the end of the year to make it overall positive and fulfilling. Dan Nelson joins me mid hour, we're going back in time to talk about the history of a Kentucky whiskey empire. #Talkradio #2020 #goals #awakening #change #overcomingadversity
Many of us are awakening to new realities, some of us are realizing that we have been sweeping our feelings under the rug for a while. What changes are you experiencing right now? How are you dealing with those changes and awakenings? Many are awakening to communication issues in their household. How do we open up the line of communication in our marriage? How do we begin to understand our feelings, emotions, and needs? Dan Nelson gives us the historical perspective later in the hour, to expose that in the early time things were tough maybe even tougher!

There are major psychological impacts when it comes to COVID19 and the way our lives have changed based on closures, new mandates, and new ways of life. The experiences we have lived through this year are firsts for most of us. Some of us have lost contact with our friends and family. Some people you may hear from often, others you don't hear from at all. If you live in a heavily trafficked area with a lot of people, you have seen the streets empty and the area at one time looked like a ghost town. The biggest question is: who do you deem safe from COVID? Who do you allow to your house? And who do you avoid? Why are some people safe and others not? Why will you ride the elevator with one person and wait for another elevator when it comes to another? It seems that COVID has separated us more than we were before and there's a silent judgment going on every day when it comes to who or whom to hang out with. Also, these masks are taking away from our personality and being outgoing. What about the stuff that is going on with regards to spousal, child, and animal cruelty, this has to be addressed. We must stand up to it and report it when we see it, don't turn a blind eye.
Dan Nelson our resident historian on the show to discusses the challenges in the past, how 2020 is tough but back then was worse!
Many of us have a long-term relationship with doubt. We've allowed doubt to stop us from living our truth and it's gotten in the way of our self-acceptance. Many of us have lived through some sort of mental, physical, and or emotional abuse in our formative years. That abuse clouded our thought process about ourselves and made us question our worth and value. Diane Scabilloni joins Ashley live on Live Your True Life Perspectives. Diane is a thought-leader, mother, children's author, and mortgage broker who's published two books that apply to both children and adults. Diane and Ashley discuss both books, "Rulers Don't Measure" and "My Friendship with Doubt" and their purpose and impact. If you've ever wrestled with doubt you won't want to miss this show. Dan Nelson our resident historian and genealogist joins us to tell us a wonderful historical true-life story to connect us with our history and take our mind off current events!

It's the noisiest time to be alive on the planet, between the election, fear of what's going to happen, changes in our world, COVID19, the time change, and Halloween, we are facing a great challenge to focus on ourselves and to work to empower ourselves instead of feeling fear, anxiety, and small.

How do we empower ourselves in these times? I'm offering the information to create a mission around the noise and allow that mission to help further your purpose in life.

I'll be discussing how to identify your old outdated programming and how to begin to let go of those programs and beliefs that do not serve your highest good.

Without communication, humankind will ultimately fall apart. With the enhancement of technology, texting, emailing, and instant messaging we have lost the art and respect for old-fashioned communication. It's amazing the misunderstandings that are taking place in our world based on the inability of a person to accept a call or to pick up the phone. Recently I had a situation that took place that had me worried, concerned, and baffled. When I called the other person to get clarity as to what was happening they sent my call immediately to voice mail. After that, we proceeded to text over and over again creating only more bad blood and zero resolve.
A human to human relationship could have been saved if the other person would have answered the phone to clear up the situation. Clarity would have been swift and quick and all would be right in everyone's world except one person chose not to communicate.

Developing our identity throughout childhood and all the way through our adult life is a life-long process. Understanding how being unique isn't a bad thing and being able to feel comfortable in one's own skin is a lifetime goal for us all. Tamsin Wood, imaginer and author of Tales of Canglford Nock, children's book series reveals how she begins to teach self-worth and self-esteem to children through her powerful books. We are discussing the reveal of the characters within the stories that connect directly to our lives. One of the biggest misnomers is feeling as though you are alone and no one understands what you are going through. When we feel alone we feel scared, however, we aren't alone in our lives, personal development, challenges, and triumphs. Tamsin reveals how we're in control of our lives and how we can take our time to make correct decisions that are positive and life-affirming. These stories are powerful to read to your children to connect with them and help them to understand the self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth pieces to identity and a rewarding and powerful life.

Dr. Anthony Manna, award-winning children's author and author of Loukas and The Game of Chance joins Ashley on Live Your True Life Perspectives.

In the story, Loukas makes a meaningful friendship with an unlikely type. In the process, Loukas is rewarded for his care and he creates a special bond. Later on in the story, because of anger and trying to prove someone wrong about him and his family he loses everything and has to go on a self-understanding quest to get his life back and make the wrongs right. In the process, he learns much about himself and much about the world we live in. The story is meaningful no matter what your age because we've all made a decision that hurt us, however, it wasn't the mistake but it is the resolution and action that we take to resolve the situation that calls on our depth and followthrough where we find our purpose, personal power, and fortitude. Followthrough and life engagement is key to a mindful and thoughtful life. Dan Nelson joins us to discuss helping Jeff to find his birth father and how it all came together to reveal the information Jeff had been wanting. If Dan had not followed through and others hadn't reached out to Dan, Jeff wouldn't have received this information that is changing his life forever.

We are all unique and everyone is different. We possess wonderfully unique qualities that differentiate us from others. Some of us are dealing with disabilities that also make us different from others. Having a disability can be extremely challenging because of the way the outside world treats and views us. Today, Ashley is talking with Stenetta Anthony, author of "A Home for Sally" an authentic book that is opening the dialogue about disability and societal value placement. In this book, we look at the concept of disability with regard to Sally who is missing a paw. Sally is awaiting being adopted. As Sally awaits adoption, she watches how the other puppies that came in the adoption facility at the same time as her are all adopted except her. Eventually, Sally is adopted by a wonderful family who loves Sally. This book applies to the human experience of being disabled and how people stare, overlook, or ignore because of their own judgment, fear, or insecurities dealing with others. Sometimes people lack empathy and understanding because they haven't had to deal with something of this magnitude. Stenetta, a veteran educator, has been instilling solid ideals within all of her students for twenty plus years. Sally's story will warm your heart and articulates what we people go through with disabilities.
What does freedom mean to me and how do I become free and get freedom in my life? It seems life is not free, we are told what to do, the career we should have, and now we are told when we can leave the house and what we have to wear when leaving the house. Most of us talk about being free and wanting freedom, in order to be free what do we choose for our life path? How do we stay away from societal and government limitations and others telling us what we should and should not do? Dan Nelson joins us later in the hour to discuss how these times in our history are not that strange. Back in the 1700's we were toppling over statues, getting rid of historical monuments that we feel holds us back and doesn't dictate our future. In any society, there is change and chaos, its been that way since the beginning.

Ricardo, whose Toltec name is, Thanuizcalpantecotti, is one of the community leaders who currently bare this sacred responsibility.
Known affectionately as “Gorilla” among his people, Ricardo has fostered good relationships with the Mexican Government, being awarded by the Governor of The State of Mexico for his endless efforts towards cultural preservation, and recently being endorsed by the Mexican Consulate General, Enrique Hubbard Urrea, for serving as the only indigenous spiritual leader from Latin America invited to be an ambassador at the “Seeds of Compassion Conference” where he was one of the few to exchange blessing ceremonies with His Holiness The Dalai Lama in Seattle, Washington.

Are you ready to let go of trying to do your best and instead find the honesty to live your truth? When we try to do our best we do what we can with the limitations we have. Instead, when we live our truth we shed the stuff that no longer serves us, we let go of self-limiting beliefs and negative options of ourself, and we begin to live our life for the highest good.

How often do you allow family and friends to get away with things they shouldn't get away with in fear of rocking the boat, and in fear of losing them? We tend to not stand up for ourself and hold in our thoughts and feelings because we don't want to vocalize how we truly feel. One reason we do this, is because we don't have personal boundaries because we want their acceptance and love. We've held our tongue time after time, waiting for true unconditional love, our co-dependent nature, and our fear of them walking out of our life keeps us quiet and secretly resentful and angry.

In today's show, we speak with Alena Chapman, best-selllng author, motivational speaker, and creator of The Savvy Sisterhood. Throughout life we deal with ups and downs, and how we deal with those ups and downs define us at our core. In order to truly possess the energy we call success, we must begin by changing our perspective when it comes to failure and regret. We all know the last thing we want to do is to have failure and regret, but as we all know, life happens, and it's time for people to change their perspective on it. But better yet, see "failure" for what it is not what we thought it was. We discuss how feelings of regret limit us in what we want to do and Alena offers ways in which we can switch failure into something positive. It can be really easy to shut down and stop our progress due to our perceived shortcomings but when we recognize that these are empty feelings and don't serve us, it opens up new possibilities we previously thought we didn't have access to.

Sharing negative stories we hear from others and news sources is the same as sharing bad milk. We tend to share negative stories and content, usually having nothing to do with us, instead we regurgitate the story over and over again. This is similar to when you ask someone to smell or taste the milk to see if it's bad.
Perspectives gives you the true tactics to combat the negative stories and media content.

They come with us and because we don't have the ability to speak, those "things" are kept silent. Throughout this process, we learn how to perform human functions, we begin to learn the spoken language or two, and we learn how to be a human.

And instead you get an odd response and that response makes you question humanity a little bit more.
