You Need This Right Now...


I think of self-confidence as the holy grail of feelings but for many, happiness is the elusive emotion they long for more of in their day-to-day lives.

There's language embedded into our collective dialogue that perpetuates this yearning – from the “Pursuit of Happiness” to “and they all lived happily ever after.”

Surprisingly though, not many people are happy.

This makes sense if you look at the state of the world, the headlines of mainstream media, or latest posts on every social platform.

There is so much ​power in positivity​. It's not just that it feels good - though it totally does and that's reason enough to practice it - but it also fuels you to DO good. To be a reason someone else smiles, to be a reason the world is just a bit brighter.

Can you relate to this, Reader? How often are you allowing other people's opinions to dictate what you do? How much time are...

Do you ever wish someone would just give you the playbook for how to parent? Same. I admitted that to Dr. Leigh Weisz, my guest on this week’s episode of Why Didn’t They Tell Us, while talking about how to raise children to become confident and independent adults. Dr. Weisz humored my request for a "mom manual" but also noted that we in fact have too many manuals. I know this to be true because I’ve lived it.
