Our simple mission is to "help a lot of people." On Natural Tendencies we tackle the tough stuff with real people, and provide them with a place to process, learn and grow. We also provide practices and support materials that can help you overcome, or at least better manage, whatever is holding you back. Join Rick as he guides people through issues we all face, and hopefully learn something that brings more joy and productivity into your home and work life.

And if so, who's going to call it out and actually get people with opposing viewpoints to talk to each other again? Comedian Kerry Coddett (Comedy Central, HBO, BET) will! In a world where people are "canceled", "muted" or "unfriended" because of diverging views, Kerry creates a space where her hilarious friends---a combo of comics, celebrities, topic experts and everyday people--- can explore both sides of a position, and through a series of fun exercises, seek to uncover if there's at least one commonality that they can all agree on.

While the relevance of the intro may not hit home anymore, the stories and insights of these beautiful women is still poignant and important. Enjoy ❤️A diagnosis of breast cancer is devastating.
