I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: Love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity to name a few. Fear is often our immediate response to uncertainty. There&#39;s nothing wrong with experiencing fear. They key is not to get stuck in it.We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty. Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.

The term “bisexual” is used to describe a person who experiences emotional, romantic and/or sexual attractions to, or engages in romantic or sexual relationships with, more than one sex or gender.

Toxic relationships with parents affect the mental health and general welfare of children. The difference between poor parenting and toxic parenting is only a matter of degree. Lacking insight, maturity, or compassion, toxic parents may cause mental and physical agony, trauma, and lasting mental problems for their children. We need to check such dysfunctional parenting patterns to foster a healthy relationship with children and gift them a happy childhood.

“Mental health” refers to how people think, feel and act as they face life’s situations. Our mental health affects how we handle stress, relate to one another and make decisions. And mental health influences the way individuals look at themselves, their lives and others in their lives. Like physical health, mental health is important at every stage of life. All aspects of our lives are affected by our mental health, and protecting our children’s mental health is a natural part of our parental obligation. Caring for our children emotionally as well as physically is critical to their daily lives and their independence. On this episode I have the privilege to be joined by Miss ALICIA EDWARDS who will share the importance of fostering good mental health. She has been a mental health advocate and a representative of Jamaica Mental Health Advocacy Network for two years now. She first got into mental health when my big brother died by suicide and that lead me to having my own mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Let&#39;s have a chat !!!

On this episode , I am so elated to to have Miss Quidi-Ann King, a newly minted graduate of the University Of West Indies ( Faculty of Law). She will be sharing the story of her success. She was bruised but certainly not broken. Her story resonates with so many of us, and it&#39;s so thrilling to see on of our very own a young woman , from the inner city who is on the cusp of greatness. It&#39;s when ordinary people rise above the expectations and seize the opportunity that milestones truly are reached. THERE IS NOTHING WE CANNOT LIVE DOWN, RISE ABOVE AND OVERCOME.
