Highly Sensitive People
In the mid 90’s, psychologist Elaine Aron introduced the concept of Highly Sensitive People as a personality trait. Since then it has gained traction and offered an understanding for people that had never before been talked about.

Today, in 2023, nearly 20% of our...

The answer lies not in working harder, but in working smarter, with more...

Quickly to follow, 6 states (South Dakota, Misourri, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Alabama) have banned abortions, with several more set to follow...
Parental Alienation
Though it is one of the worst forms of abuse for children, parental alienation is not a crime. Evidence of parental alienation may be used in court to modify or adjust custody orders, but the damage will already have been done – and nothing will happen to the abuser. It is heartbreaking and devastating to those families that go through this. Over 3.9 million children in the US alone each year are moderately to severely alienated from...
Identity Theft
Just reading that bring chills to everyone, even if you are lucky enough not to experience it! We ALL fear it and when we do have to deal with it, on any level, it is a nightmare!! Identity Theft affects more than 33% of people here in the US. That means each year, over 15 million Americans fall victim to identity theft and 1 in 5 people in the EU experience identity theft.

How To Talk To Your Kids About Their Sexuality
One of the toughest conversations to tackle with your child is about their sexual identity. Even though literally everyone goes through this stage and has to figure it out for themselves, it can be super uncomfortable for many people to talk about.

The 5 Love Languages
As we prepare for our Valentine’s Day evening, I thought it would be fun to talk a little about the 5 love languages and why they are important. The love languages were identified in 1992 by relationship expert Dr. Gary Chapman. After years upon years of relationship counseling, he came up with 5 main ways in which we give and receive love. This is important because often times we are giving love in the way we want it, but not...
