I'm back and moving onward and upward with another season of NOLTM. Near and dear to our hearts-people who have to share their own story with you when they should just be listening and letting you have your moment. Sound like anyone you know?

After a long hiatus I'm back! Serious talk at the office about replacing me with an Elf on a Shelf!

Fresh out of a breakup, McG talks about relationships, educates everyone on I Can Fix Him Complex, attachment styles, the 5 stages of relationship grief, red flags, noisy dogs, and much more.

Self-awareness finale (workplace episode).

A few micro-rants from me, I talk about scorekeeping at work, keeping the mission and your own goals under control, more self-awareness needs, and toxic work environments.

For this episode, I am joined by a dear friend and we talk about things like, you're an adult, you get to decide if you don't want to spend time with someone who makes you regret accepting the invitation as soon as you see the corn pudding on the Thanksgiving table (enough already, lady, that stuff is gross!). Also, co-parenting in a blended family is NOT for the faint of heart. And... (editor's note) we say UM a lot!

Just a tad bit late, but still a good one. I continue the theme of self awareness and the term "Worry about yourself" and extend it from knowing who you are, self-care, and boundaries to workplace politics, drama, and pot-stirrers.

1. Ghosting (you ghost or you've been ghosted)
2. Stepping away from toxic family members

Are you just about fed up to here with people who are late? Are you chronically late? Let's explore why chronic lateness is rude and disrespectful.

You know it's true. Let's put this debate to rest.
