How To Get Your Needs Met
You must learn to advocate for your needs. Because if you don't, who will?
This is your work and no one else's. You are 100% responsible for your happiness and fulfillment in life.
No one.
Part one of getting your needs met is to identify what they are. Then to find ways of getting them met, and finally to dare to ask for them to be met.
It's time to get to work. You can do it.

Let It Go in 2020
Letting go doesn't mean giving up; it means releasing control over what you have no control over, which is just about everything.
Your actions and your reactions are the two main factors that you have control over. Everything else is an illusion.
Can you give others space and freedom to show up for you in a way that makes sense for them?
Can you do what you need to do to take care of yourself and let others take care of themselves?
Let it go. All of it. Letting go of control is one of the most liberating actions you can do for yourself.

Relationships Take Work with Brandon G. Alexander
Relationships take work. I'm wary of anyone who claims otherwise. Some of that work happens in a relationship, and some happens before the relationship even gets off the ground.
Brandon G. Alexander is the founder of New Age gents, and he's showing men how to do it differently. We examine the power of being a whole being even when we're single, the importance of dating with intention, and how our personal development can affect our future relationships.
What you'll learn (or why you should care):
• The importance of letting people off the hook
• How showing up whole can reduce your anxiety in early-stage dating
• The power of doing the work
