This week I discuss a freak out I had over my kid getting his first fever. How do we know when we are overreacting to a situation? And why are we attracted to people who aren't good for us? This episode explores these issues and why losing a pet is super devastating. Let's get extra deep on this, bros!!

About a year ago, Kevin Christy came on the show (Episode 42) and we talked about grief. He lost his father and I had just lost my mother. My grief was fresh and he had a few years under his belt. So one year has passed and how have things changed? The odd thing is, grief has made both of us happier - but how?!?! Kevin and I get deep on the lessons of grief and how to hold it together when shit falls apart. In this episode you will get your entire life after a death! 

My whole life, I've wanted to violently beat anyone who chalks up shitty behavior to the phrase "but what IS normal?" Despite the psychological community's insistence that there is no norm, I think there is. If you've grown up in a dysfunctional home, you know for a fact there IS a "normal" and it probably involves not getting hammered and throwing plates of food at each other. In this episode I discuss the traits of adult children of Alcoholics - but I have a feeling you don't need a drunk Mommy or Daddy to relate to a lot of this stuff. Let's get deeeeeeep as fuck on it, bros. 

Why do people hate being 40? Usually because their life sucks. You don't have to hate your age just because society expects you to. Also, why are we so afraid of change and what can be done to take the leap into doing something you really want to do? This week I saw some friends I hadn't seen in over 20 years! What I learned is that going for the dreams is terrifying but you have to otherwise you will hate yourself when you're 40. My friends and I took our leaps and here's some stuff I learned along the way.
