10 Things We Can Do To Help Food/Restaurant Workers - From Actual Employees

June 16, 2022 14:00 - 27 minutes - 18.8 MB

A while back I asked my followers on IG if they worked in the restaurant/food industry.  I was surprised to learn how many actually work or have a family member that does (or maybe did at one point).  After going for take-out during the pandemic, I noticed that prices have gone up, wait time is up, customers are antsy, and the employees were running around just trying to get through the day.  The pandemic changed everything.  I then asked what makes their job hard and what would make their j...

January 17, 2021 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MB

Domestic violence, these two words should never exist in anyone's life, however, it's a lot more common than we think.  I was moved so deeply by a video I shared on my IG account.  Something told me to do some research and help spread the word on this matter.  I hope that the information within this episode helps at least one person.  I will ask that you share this one, because you just never know who's suffering and by the time you do find out, it might be too late.

You won't want to miss this story, it's amazing what a little "let me put myself in their shoes" will do.  We live in a very IDGAF world, where everyone is out for themselves.  Gone are the days when you'd see someone hold the door for you. Nobody says "good morning" or "good afternoon".  Nobody does anything unless there's something in it for themselves.  How about we start changing this?  It all starts with ourselves, but it has to start. We all need a little love, understanding, empathy. ...
