Are You a Bad Person If You’re Impatient? EP: 517 Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

This week on the podcast I want to flip things and instead of talking about being a better person, to spend a little time talking about the things we all sometimes do that can leave us wondering, am I a bad person?

Finding Your Way to Self-Acceptance EP: 516 Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

To help us all think about how to go about cultivating more grit I wanted to talk to a pro, so I reached out to Shannon Huffman Polson, the youngest woman ever to climb Mt.

Strengthen Your “Keep Going” Muscles EP: 513 Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

One of my better person principles (that I shared last week in episode 509) is that every challenge has an opportunity wrapped up inside it.

What’s the Better Person Thing to Do When It Comes to Disagreeing With Friends? EP: 512 Aug 16, 2021

Show notes

You used to more or less be able to decide when you wanted to wade into a potentially heated conversation. Now, whether you're talking about masks, vaccines, or the start of school, you can stumble into them multiple times a day. What's a person who's trying to be a better person to do?

Better Person Principle #4: There’s a time and a place for everything EP: 510 Aug 12, 2021

Better Person Principle #2: Awareness is the first step EP: 508 Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

Even though it’s a simple concept, awareness is a pretty rare and wonderful thing, like an orchid in a sea of carnations.

It’s also an easy and effective way to wade into change.
