The Positive Pod: Your Weekly Fifteen Minutes of Positivity

We'll look at new science-based tips on improving our lived experience and we'll have interviews with inspiring and positive folks. Learn about the science behind positivity and some of the "why's" behind the "what's". The positive side of life with a scientific spin! Join us each week for the Positive Pod and Get Some Good in Your Life! Written, Hosted and Produced by: Michael J. Walsh, Ph.D, LPC, CRC Art Direction: Maxie Walsh Final Approvals: Lacey and Sully Walsh
