Friendship Breakups: Should You Dump Bestie?
Debating whether or not you should end a friendship? In this video, we'll go over the most important qualities of any friendship and what to do if yours is lacking in those areas.

Why Do "Good" Girls Stay in Toxic Relationships?
In this video, I'm answering the question: why do nice girls stay in bad or toxic relationships? The truth is that there are lots of potential reasons why people (not just women) may stay in a relationship that is unhealthy. It's important to remember that choosing to stay in an unhealthy relationship is not necessarily a reflection of that person's character and is not a sign of weakness. If someone you care about is in a bad or toxic relationship, I also share some tips for how you can best approach the situation. *BOOK - Attached by Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel S.F.
