Are you someone who has been raised in a religious family but has failed to find faith and meaning in what you have been taught? If you answered yes to that question you are not alone.

Some believe these concepts go hand in hand but that is not actually true. They can exist together or apart. In this show I share my personal journey to faith after rebelling against my religious upbringing for many years. I explain why faith is so crucial to our lives and how each of us can define it in a way that fulfills our individual needs. Read Randi’s RIVETING life story!

The commandment “Honor your father and your mother" becomes a huge moral issue for those of us with difficult or abusive parents, one that leaves us feeling guilty and inadequate. Even worse is when others judge us, preach to us, and label us as sinners. Today's show is about morality but not about religion. It is about finding ways to accept, forgive, and honor our parents when we feel they don't deserve it, healing from our past wounds, and coming to terms with whatever situation we are left with in life.  Read Randi’s RIVETING life story!

Striving to obtain perfection in everything or anything we do inevitably leads us to frustration, unhappiness, and lower self-esteem. We are human and therefore fallible. Should we manage to achieve perfection we will find it fleeting. Nothing is perfect and nothing lasts forever. Still many of us live in societies that reward perfection and criticize imperfection. But much beauty can be found in the flawed, unconventional, and impermanent. This show explains how to accept yourself and the world around you just as they are, and open your eyes to the beauty that exists in the most unusual places. Read Randi’s RIVETING life story!

Positive thinkers are not born, they are consciously developed. Over the years we have impressed many thoughts on our brains, some positive some negative, through the use of affirmations. These affirmations consequently create the tone of our lives. We can create undesirable situations for ourselves without the slightest bit of awareness that we are doing so. It is therefore important that we learn how to exercise control over our thoughts. This show explains how to rid yourself of negativity, manifest the positive changes you desire, and make your life the very best it can be. Read Randi’s RIVETING life story!

Some studies say that more than twenty-five million Americans suffer from depression each year. When left untreated it can be a deadly disease. Depression is more than just sadness. It is all-encompassing, intense, and unrelenting despondency. It overshadows us with feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness. It makes us feel empty and fills us with despair. Depression it is not a weakness of character, it is a disease just as diabetes or arthritis is. Embarrassment or shame often prevents those who need help from getting it. The goal of this show is to educate others in the hopes that those suffering will recognize the signs and get the help they need. The message is that suffering is unnecessary. Depression is a highly treatable disorder; those who have treatment lead perfectly normal lives. Read Randi’s RIVETING life story!
