These are my personal opinions.

Always seek a professional when you're making choices about your mental health and well-being.

Welcome to the last episode of 2025.

And if you're listening to this after 2025, that comment doesn't matter.

This is an on-demand show podcast.

And I'm going to try my best to answer a bunch of questions in sort of a rapid fire method.

And one of the things I want to do first before I do that, because I'm not really capable of answering things rapid fire.

Usually I'm too verbose.

I will do my best.

I'll do my best this episode.

But before I begin, I want you to remember these words, probably the most important words for your well-being, for your mental health, to start the new year off right,

remember the words, that doesn't work for me.

When something happens in your life that doesn't work for you, say that, either out loud or to yourself,

yeah, that doesn't work for me. You can use this in so many places. It's a boundary. What you're

doing is expressing a boundary. Somebody yells at you at work.

Yeah, that's not going to work for me. Yeah, you play with the iterations here, but that's not going

to work for me. You can say it in your mind. You can say it all loud. Yeah, you yelling at me.

It's not going to work for me. That might not go well if somebody's yelling at you, but what you're doing is you are

taking a boundary that you have inside of you. Something that is either spoken or not is either

known or not, because sometimes we don't know our boundaries until something happens and you

realize, oh, that's a boundary.

And so that's not going to work for me.
