Two years ago, I was lying in a hospital bed with wires taped to my chest and various parts of my body. Fear pressed heavily on me with each beep of the machine checking my vitals. I felt small and powerless, unsure how the night might end.Test after test was ran, but there were still no answers in sight. Eventually, the doctor sent me home with what felt like nothing more than a shrug and a good look. Now, you may be wondering what put me in this situation.And the short answer is stress. I was experiencing ...

My daughter sees like with the news, I watch the news and stuff and I don't shelter her from it because she needs to know what's going on in society. She knows that I, you know, I shop right now with a calculator as it is just to make sure like I'm on key point and stuff, but she offered her piggy bank money.

What if we could pick and choose who and how we want to be in any moment on purpose.Like we can manifest our own mental health. >> And by the end of this conversation today, you're going to ...

I am needy. Loudly, unapologetically, bodaciously needy. And you might just see my neediness in real time. If a hot flash hits and I need to whip out my towel, mama over here is nodding. But understand that neediness is not a flaw. It is a superpower. It's my superpower. Several years ago, one of my favorite cousins, who is more like a sister to me, had had it with my need.

These activities require my energy and courage and I do that every day.So it's like a never- ending cycle. And I think in this era almost everyone is lik ...

And then what we think of is this. It's a scene from Spongebob and my best friend and I love Spongebob.And it's when he forgets hi ...

It's a very strong word.I think some things need to be figured out because what's happening is it's starting to put a lot of pressure on the athlete and and it you know athletes are they they may say hey we don't care about Paul's we don't but they care about it because it it affects them. it they you know mentally it affects them and you know they don't want to they don't want ...

[Music] You're not doing your best. You could have scored better. That's not usual for you.What happened. I expected more from you.
