Complex Context

Caring for Pets / Knowing When You Don't Know

Our pets are some of the most loyal and loving members of our family.  But are they treated with the same care as our human counterparts, when it comes to health monitoring and regular preventative care?  We discuss the importance of ensuring our happy pets stay that way, through the necessary diligence & expense of proper visits with a professional.  In addition, many folks have developed an expectation of never "not being in the know", as to convey there's weakness in having a lack of understanding or education.  Why are some people afraid of showing or conveying they "don't know" something?  We'll highlight this issue & discuss why not knowing can be more endearing than pretending to have knowledge you may not.  Finally, we'll provide some entertaining moments through "Ridiculous Life Advice", "Positive Vibes", and "Lessons from the Urban Dictionary".  Leave a review, contact us with your suggestions & feedback, subscribe to the show, and let's have an excellent week together.

Sacrificing the Gift of Privacy

Everyone has a right to possess their own life beliefs & overall belief system.  So, why do so many make a conscious decision to promote their beliefs, even if it causes divisiveness?  The social media society of today has caused people to believe doing so is worth sacrificing their privacy, which would otherwise allow one's belief system to remain "close to the vest" while not disturbing others' own potentially opposing values.  We discuss how keeping major life beliefs protected via your privacy doesn't mean needing to be a private person.  Please leave a review, subscribe, and follow us on social media.  Here's to an awesome week ahead!

Treating Yourself

With so many responsibilities that many of us need to satisfy, sometimes we don't always take time for self-rewarding at the end of a busy day or busy week.  How do we best accomplish this, and what kind of "reward" should we give ourselves after meeting or exceeding a goal?  Treating ourselves is discussed during this episode.  In addition, is the world too reliant on technology to run some of the most significant day-to-day needs?  We'll take a look at the recent CrowdStrike outage in relation to this topic.  Subscribe, leave a review, and keep the good vibes strong for your upcoming week!

Celebrity Death & The Death of Celebrity

With numerous celebrities having passed away in the United States over the past few weeks, it may be hard to understand why so many express sorrow in a manner which is similar to losing a close friend.  There was no personal relationship, no communication, just the absorption of their contributions.  This episode takes a hard look at why some of us react this way to a celebrity death, with a deeper look at why the younger generation may never go through the same type of mourning.  Subscribe, leave a review, and many good vibes for a great week.
