Season 2, Episode 20: The Living Full Out Show with Nancy Solari encourages listeners to show appreciation to those around them for the little things they do. Feeling valued is important for one’s self-esteem and for maintaining close relationships.

Our first caller, Becky, is concerned that she can’t find her passion in the workforce. Listen in as Nancy encourages her to follow her love of children and go in the direction of what excites her in life.

The second caller, Maria, has depression and is anxious about getting hired as a residential advisor for her university. Hear how Nancy reminds her to separate the perks of the job from the position itself, and that she can always apply again if she doesn’t get it.

Our inspirational guest today is Dr. Brenda Combs. After dropping out of college and losing her job due to her crack addiction, Brenda suffered abuse and near death at the hands of the dealers she lived with and worked for. Listen as she recounts her ten year journey through thirteen rehabilitation programs to reach twenty years of being drug-free.

The last caller, Nick, is concerned that his sister may be developing alcoholism. Find out how Nancy coaches him to sit her down and express his concerns, and to never give up on their loving relationship.

It is important to help each other out as much as we can in life, and it’s equally important to show appreciation when we receive that help from other people. Good deeds should not be motivated by seeking recognition, but they shouldn’t unnoticed either. By doing something as simple as saying thank you, you can show someone that respect that will help you both live your lives full out.
