Boundaries are a tricky subject for many of us, including yours truly.

When it comes to love, the majority of us simultaneously feel as though we are experts and have no idea what we are doing. Carrie Jenkins is a writer and philosophy professor who explores the philosophy behind love and the impact of socially constructed romantic love.  Love is a subjective experience, and it is only by combining the theories of love as biology, phenomenology, chemistry, and magic that we can begin to piece together the puzzle of this conscious experience. Instead of thinking of love as a winning or losing game, or something that you are failing at, Carrie argues that love is a deliberate act that anyone can be a part of. Instead of putting the fairytale of romantic love on a pedestal, Carrie works to open up the guidelines in which we treat love in all realms of our lives. By putting the same status on other relationships in our lives, not just that of romance, you can separate the connection between romance and attachment to find the version of love that best suits you right now.  Combining

After seven years of suffering from chronic nerve pain that left her bedridden, Dr. Brandy Gillmore decided to stop listening to the doctors saying ‘there was nothing that could be done’ and take her healing measures into her own hands. Fascinated by the power of placebo, and eventually finding true physical healing through mental stimulation, Dr. Gillmore has been on the path to sharing this knowledge with others ever since. We all know that emotions can influence the physical body, like when you are scared to death or too anxious to talk, but Dr. Gillmore has taken this phenomenon and harnessed it into the ability to heal your physical symptoms using only the power of your mind and emotions. Like any problem she experienced in network engineering, Dr. Gillmore decided to break her problems down into their simplest forms and find powerful yet easy ways to help the body solely with the power of the mind.
