There is a BIG difference between trauma bonding and bonding over shared trauma, they are not the same. On today's show we get into the difference between the both of these. So many times we refer to things as we think we understand them but it may in fact not be the correct way to refer to it when you don't fully understand the true definition of something. You know we love to break things down and we do in this show. What is a trauma bond? And what is bonding over trauma? Lets dive deep into it.

We’ve all had that one person (or persons), maybe a group of people or co-workers, who you couldn’t really pinpoint if they were a real friend or an real enemy. Frienships just like romantic relationships, can be toxic, harmful, or just annoying. And sometimes they need to end. Are you surrounded by a Frenemy OR are you Frenemy yourself? This episode will hit home for many people.

Here’s a problem that affects a LOT of people … a lack of energy!

Before the pandemic, the number of people who said they often felt tired was around 43% … and during the pandemic that number shot up to 60%.

I thought it would be helpful to list some things you can do to cut out a few sneaky drains on your energy.

Because the truth is, many everyday habits can actually leave you feeling tired.

Join the conversation and tell us what’s draining your energy in the comment section.

How smart are you? 

It’s a deceptively simple question, because the truth is there are many different forms of intelligence.

The two primary types are crystallized intelligence which is your level of knowledge and fluid intelligence, which is your ability to understand concepts and complex reasoning processes. 

So what are the signs that you’re much mentally sharper than the average person? Join the conversation and rate yourself in the comment section squad.
