We chase after what we want and encounter countless setbacks. By persevering through these challenging times, we can learn to grow into stronger individuals.

Tune into Nancy’s suggestions of alternatives ways of getting his message across so that he can keep his daughter’s respect.

Our inspirational guest, Elyn Saks, shares with us her first experiences with schizophrenia. In her younger years, she would suffer from numerous phobias and dreams that would constantly keep her up at night. Her fearful hallucinations began interfering with her life all through her college years. While at Oxford, her depression and anxiety eventually got the better of her and so she had no choice but to pursue therapy and medication. Listen to Nancy learn of her eventual acceptance of her condition.

Our final caller, Stacie, lives with a mother that is suffering from early stages of dementia. Her mother’s case is not yet severe but she does sometimes have trouble following certain instructions. There is a fear of her mom eventually losing her memory. Hear how Nancy guides our caller to help her mother deal with the worries by constantly checking in and letting her mother know she is never alone.
We will all inevitably deal with frustration in our lives. It is how we handle it that will teach us life lessons. We can turn our challenges into opportunities to blossom into the people we were meant to be. Conquering our worries and choosing to never give up is the key to living full out.
