Ask Audrey
by Audrey Ellis
I have always been viewed as "mother" among friends and family; even at a young age. Whenever someone is in need of advice and/or guidance, they come to me; they even refer others to me. I use the logic and common sense that my father instilled in me, to help others. Now, I'd like to help more than just those who are around me. Part of how I can help others is to share my own personal stories. Hopefully, they will relate to anyone going through the same things I've been through. Having someone around whom you can relate to can make the struggle easier. 1❤

Where Did My Listeners Go???

Can I Vent A Little?
I never really wanted to bring race into my discussions, but it is relevant right now.

Did Sexual Abuse Cause My PTSD?

Where Does True Wealth and Happiness Come From?
In life, we are led to believe things will make us happy. If we just have a lot of money and don't have to worry about bills, we will automatically have happiness. It takes a long time to realize that this isn't true; some of us never figure that out. True happiness comes from other avenues in…
