I'll also be providing my favorite practice for developing more ease when saying no, as well as tips and tricks, such as buying yourself time before responding to a request.

134. Why Curiosity and Compassion Are Key to Lasting Change Aug 28, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, I explore a recently popularized concept from Dr. Becky Kennedy in her book Good Inside called "the most generous interpretation." This approach not only helps us identify our habits better but also provides a kinder way to engage with ourselves as we work on making lasting change.

Listen in as I share how the most generous interpretation and deliberately assuming positive intent open us up to curiosity and compassion so we don't overlook the root cause of our habits. Throughout the episode, I'll provide clear examples to reinforce this approach and offer a host of excellent resources.

133. Why Your Anger Is Actually a Gift Aug 21, 2024

Show notes

Anger is not only a natural emotion; it is actually a signal alerting you to three main ideas: that there has been a boundary breach, a value has been compromised, or that you have just witnessed an injustice. And if we embrace anger, it can radically change our lives.

Listen in as I reveal my go-to tool for managing anger—not by suppressing it, but by inviting it to take a seat at the table within our system. This approach helps you explore the root of your anger with compassion and curiosity, leading to a deeper understanding and appreciation of your core values.

In Episode 131 I'm taking a different role as the guest in an interview led by Dr. Kavetha Sundaramoorthy and Dr. Erica Bove. We dive deep into the habit of rumination—why we do it, how it shows up, and practical ways to manage it.

127. How to Set Boundaries and Say No: A Conversation with Dr. Erica Howe Jul 10, 2024

Show notes

When we're knee-deep in the trenches of life it can be easy to forget about ourselves. In fact, there are implicit and even explicit messages in our culture, and our professions, that shape that point of view. That our worth hinges on our productivity or that our value is tied to helping others. But that leaves us lacking.

Dr. Erica Howe is the founder of the Women Physicians Wellness and Women Professionals Wellness Conferences. Today you'll hear how she took her own struggles in her medical career and used them as fuel to start a conference specifically geared at helping others to sustain wellness while advancing their careers and developing confidence as leaders.
