The Quickie: How To Embrace Change And Tolerate Uncertainty May 15, 2024

Show notes

Change is one of the only constants in life, but a lot of people are really adverse to it. TBH, I actually thrive in change and chaos, I’m always seeking newness, so this week I’m sharing how I overcome fear of change to approach it with a growth mindset.

Tim Ferris says “People would rather be unhappy than uncertain.” Change is hard because it comes with a loss of control, and it often means letting go of how things are to embrace something new. But what is the safety and comfort of remaining the same costing you?

And how do we get better at such an important, but uncomfortable, life skill?

Tune in as I chat about:

The change we choose VS change that happens to us
The grief that can come with change
Why I struggle with changing relationships
Adopting a growth mindset
Questions to ask that will make change easier
Building resilience and tracking your wins
How practicing impermanence can help
Working on your inner stability to deal with unstable environments

If you’re toying with changes in your life right now, just remember that people often regret what they didn’t do more than what they did. You got this.

How To Deal With A Layoff, And Knowing When It’s Time To Quit A Toxic Workplace May 08, 2024

Show notes

WTF happened to job security? A new round of tech and media layoffs are announced every week (looking at you, Tesla and Microsoft) and booming industries go bust faster than Tswift tickets sell out.

But on the flip side, with layoffs becoming the new norm, we’re starting to detach our worth and loyalty from a corporate job. Gone are the days when quitting a job and jumping between companies was frowned upon: We’re not down with toxic work environments and underpaid gigs.

So how do you prepare for the ending of a job, whether by choice or by layoff?

Join Carolyn and I as we chat about:

Caro and Gill’s layoff experiences
Reviewing your severance and why it’s worth consulting a lawyer
Things you can negotiate in your contract up-front
What to do right after you’ve been laid off
The power of vulnerability (and why everyone is sharing on social media)
Finding empowerment and detaching your worth from a job
Signs your workplace is toxic
How to know when to quit your job
Advocating for yourself before you quit

Show notes

Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from past episodes that you might have missed.

If you’ve been feeling sluggish, tired, negative and like you're sleepwalking through your life, you've come to the right place. Sometimes the fix to low mood and energy is lifestyle tweaks, the proper supplement protocol (listen in for the surprising supplement that can help with depression), and direct sunlight.

So I called in the biohacking pro, Chloe Deutscher. Chloe is a chemical engineer who has dedicated her career to the intersection of science, consciousness, and mental health. She’s the co-founder and the CEO of Liquid Culture, a biotech company focused on novel fungi manufacturing and developing innovative products for optimal wellbeing. She shares her actionable tips, knowledge, and experience in the fields of biohacking, mental health, and psychedelics on her popular TikTok account, where she empowers people to overcome mental health challenges like ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
