Ep 25. This Is Not Your Parent’s Marijuana : Dr. Sherria Watkins
The temptations are everywhere. They are inside the schools and on the streets. They are at home in our closets and cupboards and inside a friend's house. Some are legal, and others are criminal. What are they? Alcohol, Opioids, Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, and Cannabinoids.

Ep. 18: Words Are Power: Danielle Boucree
When we were young, our parents told us, “Use Your Words,” but as we become adults, those words we were encouraged to use are perceived as signs of weakness. That stops today!
Listen and participate in this active session, where we will share feelings and learn how to use them to communicate more effectively within our family system.
