I'm no punk because I live in Chicago, but this weekend's Polar Vortex is ready to take someone's lunch money out there and it won't be me! I have my plans set this weekend to catch up on a couple of movies since the Oscar nominations came out earlier this morning. People say gray hairs are a blessing when you get them, but they don't have to deal with the disrespectful, contemptuous, and inconsiderate follicles I have to fight with just about everyday.

New year, new season, new logo, new look, new everything!

Can we get things started although we are already 15 days into 2026? I found my way back to not just podcasting after a much needed extended holiday time off, but to my first love in the process. I bet if you listen to this podcast close enough, you just might find your passion again too. Life took a moment to teach me a lesson within walking distance from my house...

As we are flying towards the holiday and are on a crash course with 2026, we have to find a way to slow things down enough so that we can at least enjoy what's left in December. Somehow, my unhealthy obsession with rearranging my studio can be a lesson in how YOU can rearrange your life.

It could very well be the best gift in the history of ever, but it looks suspect because it's not wrapped in packaging you approve of. Have you ever looked sideways at a box wrapped in newspaper or not crisp holiday paper? Be careful when turning your nose up at the very thing meant for you and your life because of its outward appearance.

During this time of year, there are more people suffering from depression, anxiety and loneliness than at any other season. We need to make sure we have the keys when it comes to “Surviving the Holidays.” Helping me unwrap this discussion is my long time friend, brother, clinician, psychotherapist and social worker extrordinaire Khalid Scott.

If you feel like you are in crisis this holiday season, you do not have to go through it alone. Call 988 wherever you are to speak to someone equipped to help, or contact Khalid Scott personally at 312-437-2688.

On the Second Pod of Christmas, come to the realization that you might have to stop trying to keep it in so much. Not your stomach, your feelings. This Christmas, I'm learning how not to be so emotionless in front of people. Since I've been sick through the Thanksgiving holiday, I'm late with the new motivational reveal but better late than never.

On the First Pod of Christmas my true love gave to me, the best chance to make a strategy... Have you ever repurposed a holiday meal into something that could've been better than its original intent? Food in this case is life, and life if you let it, CAN be redesigned into a more delicious bite.

Today is a big deal because this is the 30th episode of my personal podcast, and it's something I never thought I would make time for myself doing so many podcasts for others.

I was thinking about how I left things last week after I wanted to go full "scorched earth" on people, but J.A.R.S. had something to say about it as I start week 3 in my reassurance process.
