For a while, I was talking about my husband so much on the show, so why not share more? No, just kidding, baby likes his privacy. What I want to talk to you about today IS how to communicate better. A task I assigned to him to be better at. Ladies and gentlemen, have your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, your other half, side guy or side chick, whatever you fancy, listen to this episode, and thank me later.

I have double standards. When I talked to you guys in episode 14 about Simon Leviev, the Tinder Swindler guy who pretended to be a diamond dealer, a billionaire businessman, conned multiple women he met on Tinder saying his life was at risk from enemies in the diamond trade, I was livid. But that’s until I discovered Anna Sorokin, aka Anna Delvey, the woman behind the Anna Delvey Foundation, ADF.

I dished out my husband in the last episode "A Valentine's Day Special" saying that he asked for gold stars when he does anything around the house, or that he can't read the room or speak my love languages. I was frustrated okay? In episode 15 of 1-800-GOAL-DIGGER "Love Is Finding Myself", I redeem myself by sharing a story of our first trip together to Mexico. While waiting for our fight coming back to Canada, I realized I lost my Customs Form, which is an absolute requirement for departing...

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Valentine’s Day? Teddy bear, chocolate, or 999 roses bouquet? I just had a random thought, what if Tinder or Netflix crashed on Valentine’s Day? Oh and the real holiday is actually February 15, because all the chocolates are 70% off!

Happy Chinese New Year! If you feel like you didn’t start your new year right, fear not!

The other day someone asked me “So what do you do for a living? I said, “My best. Tom. I do my best, okay? That’s what I do.” In this episode, I talk about the impact of the typical social media measure, the external validation, the number of listens which has not gone skyrocket so in turn it affected me like the stock market.

These past few days, I experienced some sort of outburst due to my childhood trauma that caused emotional damage. Listen, the full moon was in Cancer. We are still reeling from the Mercury going into retrograde last week. And Venus is also in retrograde until Jan 29. So I guess I was overly sensitive. All the bottled up feelings flooded out and I legit cried my eyes out for two days straight. Listen to the full episode to fine out more. See time codes and show notes below: [01:39] My...

Just when I decided that I am doing Dry January, Tuesday I received an unexpected gift box from a “workplace proximity associate” that contained 6 bottles of vino, a belated year-end thank you gift I suppose. I texted her and said thank you but also as an FYI I am doing Dry January LOL. To which she replied, there is always February. In today's episode, I answer Madison's voicemail about binge drinking, and how to have more self-control. For more details, find the time codes and show notes...

Congratulations, we’ve made it to 2022. Did you have a relaxed holiday break? Did you do anything to self-care? Was there any family drama? Or did you like a little goodie two-shoes reflect on the past year, celebrate the wins, and plan ahead to start a mindful new year? In this episode, I reflect on 2021 by going through my photo album and pick out one thing worth noting for each month. I also question whether New Year's resolutions work or not.
