Whitney Houston Oprah Interview pt 3 & 4: Hiding Pain, Cheating Spouses & Crack is Wack 2009

What do we do to cope with the stresses and disappointments we experience? Clearly something was eating at Houston but she doesn’t reveal what that is during this interview. Nor do I think she needs to. I wonder if she’s done the necessary work to get to the root of her problems. I hope this [...]

Whitney Houston Oprah Interview pt 2: Drugs, Alcohol & Violence

Whitney gets into her drug use – partially. I can’t help but notice (after watching this more than once) how she deflected the question and zoned in exclusively on ex-husband Bobby Brown.

Oprah Show On Dating Violence

Oprah’s Thursday episode she asked Tyra Banks to be her co-host as they discussed dating violence amongst teens.

Psst….Guess What? The Government Isn’t Going To "Save" You!

Now this isn’t a dismissal of the Obama feel good pep talk. Right now everyone’s so antsy or downright depressed it feels good to have sun on our faces and a little boost. Plus going down the list from former Presidents to pundits to financial advisors, they don’t want PBO to be so blunt. [...]
