Do you hear other people say how they get more comfortable in their skin as they get older and you wonder why you ARE older and still feel insecure, especially in social settings and you wish it were easier to just "fit in". You are not alone and I discuss more about this topic in this week's My Reality episode. YouTube: https://youtu.be/qQ_jzTt57_I Intro Music: www.bensound.com Happy Rock

Bravo Alex Cooper!! Let's Marry Harry was one love reality tv show that I had no plans to watch, but decided to give it a chance and boy was I pleasantly surprised. If you've ever been a fan of The Bachelor, you will love this show. It's everything that The Bachelor should have evolved into, but failed to do so, and Alex Cooper stepped in to give us a Bachelor like show that is so much more!! I give no spoilers in this episode but all the reasons why you should watch! YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/Er-Rv9v01SQ Intro Music: www.bensound.com "Happy Rock"

In this episode I discuss a topic addressed in many reality shows...mental health therapy. When I was growing up mental health was not discussed, much less was therapy discussed. Today it is no longer the stigma it once was. On this episode I talk about my journey with therapy and share my experiences that may help you if you have been considering it.

In this episode, I spend most of my time recapping Love Island and sharing my thoughts on the drama, couples, and biggest moments from the last two weeks. I address each couple, one by one, and include a lot of my personal takes on the why we should give grace to the established villains of the season and remembering it's a tv show and how that's relevant to giving grace. Movie night, family day, chats, challenges, and the filmingI also catch you up on a busy summer of travel, time on the lake in Wisconsin, and our current stay in Idaho. Along the way, I talk about family news, including William and Shay’s baby boy on the way, plus a few real-life marriage moments involving weather complaints, meal planning, and the everyday quirks that come with being together for 28 years. It’s a mix of reality TV, summer updates, and honest family life from my point of view. YouTube Link - https://youtu.be/qtW7GEEej2Q Intro Music www.bensounds.com "Happy Rock"
