Human emotion makes us, well, human. While it’s much more fun to feel happy, excited, or optimistic, there’s no denying that we also feel sad, confused and frustrated at times. Helen Russell joins us today to talk about why feeling those negative emotions is important and how it can actually make us happier in the long run. She talks about validating the sadness and finding ways to cope and move forward to a happier life.
During our headline, our friend Dave from Tennessee is in the news, but not for good reason. A former advertiser on Dave Ramsey’s show is in hot water for deceptive business practices and we dive in. Then we talk about the in’s and out’s of required minimum distributions during our Haven Life line call. And Doug will include some of his trivia.
Enjoy!
