I’m back! On today’s episode, I give answers to questions from a few listeners about life, love, work, and friendships. “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need”

Relationship breakups are really tough, but breaking up with friends has its own set of challenges. How do we deal with the emotions and fallout of friendships that come to an end? How do we know when it’s time to move on? Can we treasure what we shared and still move on to develop deep friendships in our lives?

Time spent with kids gives us a chance to continue to experience the joys of childhood, no matter how old we are. I think the key to happiness is to never lose our inner child. 😊 Like adults, kids will not remember what you did, or what you said, but how you made them feel. 💜

Helicopter, free range and snowplow parenting. How drastically have things changed over the years? I think many of us agree, parenting is definitely done differently, but is it better? In this episode, I chat with my # 1 son, Ryan, about parents, kids and the world today

Join me on today’s episode of Life or Something Like It, as my guest, Fawn Bowes, shares her personal story of addiction and recovery.

Why is it so many people simply are not able to find a better way, for the sake of the children?

In this era of “reality stars” and Instagram models, how do we stay grounded in our own reality? We all want to look and feel good, but how do we make sure we’re focussing on what really matters?

To truly enjoy life, and ensure we take care of ourselves, we need to take TIME. Time is the one thing we can’t earn back, after it’s gone. Downtime is essential to our overall well-being! Whether traveling or a stay-cation doing absolutely NO work, a re-charge can make all the difference in the world! ~ If you haven't already, please review on iTunes!

With all the people who are impacted by mental health issues, it still seems to be a taboo topic. Even with a broader awareness than we’ve ever had ...Why is it still so misunderstood? Let’s keep talking about it, more often than 1 day a year with #BellLetsTalk. Because by opening up and breaking down the walls, that’s when we can feel less alone, and hopefully, see the light at the end of the tunnel
