Ironically we have an eclipse today since we are talking about circles but anyhow. I discuss my journey how 20 years ago I shut down my creation of the Stoned Ranger.

EPISODE XL: GROWTH IS FOR YOU NOT THEM
Wednesday Apr 03, 2024
Wednesday Apr 03, 2024
I discuss how hard it can be to grow as a person. To understand people may not be willing to accept or believe you are changing and trying to do better. I touch on a DBT skill called opposite action which has served me well lately. The bottom line is you can see the results. Some may not see them or even accept them. You just have to stay on your path.

This week I discuss how hard it is to do the right thing especially when most of humanity has been conditioned to do the wrong things. It's so easy to be judgmental, angry, mean, eat animals, and much much more. But what if we take the necessary step to do the hard work and reverse the curse. Also Kristyn Jones and Kathryn Hilger from Awake Oneness Tribe join me to discuss the Veggie Fest coming up in Joliet, IL on April 13.
