Iggy's Loudmouth Podcast

On this Mental Health Monday, I wanted to dedicate the episode as part of my annual "Why Kobe is the GOAT" series and talk about the impact that Kobe and his Mamba Mentality left on me and the world.

On this week's Mental Health Monday episode, the topic is specifically to all the people pleasers out there. Avoiding conflict is a a trigger to those that carry that attribute. I know for me personally it is something I have struggled with my whole life.

On this week's episode, I speak on having accountability to our decisions as parents and how they effect our children. Recently there have been personal things in my life but also an open discussion on leaving a relationship with a partner that is not healthy. If those relationships produced children, I believe it is important to be sensitive to those children and being accountable to how that decision effects their lives moving forward.
