On the magic of the nudge Nov 26, 2021

Show notes

Hey Annie from MA who commented on my FB post, this GOTO is for you. I did a deep dive into the magic of nudges (not rules, not threats, just little well-placed nudges toward the right next move) and followed the search where it took me—to one of my most dearly held convictions.

Mental Health Check on Expectations Nov 12, 2021

Show notes

The future is dangerous place to live. I’m thinking this week about the insane power of expectations and wondering what would happen if we could be way more aware of our thinking as expectations are being set. Could we interrupt the process somehow so we put less pressure on our days, our kids and our relationships to turn out in some dreadfully specific way?
