ICYMI: Balancing Friendships When Everyone’s Busy, How Many Hours It Takes To Make A Bestie, And Why Friends Are Good For Your Health, with Dr. Miriam Kirmayer Feb 05, 2024

Show notes

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

Gather 'round, besties... ahead of Galentines Day, we're talking friendships. If everyone in your bestie group chat is so busy you're planning a month out for your next hang, this one's for you. Our 20s and 30s can feel lonely and isolating AF as all our friends enter different life stages, get hella busy, and move around the world. So if you're feeling some kind of way about the state of your friendships right now, you're not alone.

We actually replace half of our friend group every seven years, so it turns out this is a right of passage. But making friends (and keeping the good ones) is wildly important for our happiness and our health, so we're kicking it back to one of our favourite conversations with psychologist and friendship expert, Dr. Miriam Kirmayer, who reveals why we need to prioritize our friendships, how much time it takes to form friendships, and the commonalities we should look for.

Having spent over a decade researching the science of friendship and helping people live more connected lives, Dr. Miriam is a clinical psychologist, writer, speaker, and leading expert on friendship and social connection. She’s appeared on some of our favourite media outlets, from Call Her Daddy to Vogue and The New York Times.

She sits on the Mental Health Advisory Committee for Wondermind, a media company co-founded by Selena Gomez, and is a member of The GenWell Project, a human connection movement. She also has a private practice and is one of the first and only licensed clinical psychologists to specialize in friendship therapy!

How To Overcome Self-Sabotage, Stop Upper Limiting, and Make Quantum Leaps, with Lori Harder Jan 31, 2024

Show notes

How are those big new years goals going? Are you holding steady, or losing steam? As we reach the never-ending finish line of January, we’re hitting the point where a lot of us will lose that momentum. You might start looking for all of the evidence of why those goals weren’t actually possible or worth it. That’s self-sabotage… and we’re not doing that shit this year, so we called in the incredible Lori Harder to teach us how to make quantum leaps towards becoming the person we want to be in 2024.

The biggest thing that gets in our way of the success and fulfillment we desire isn’t external factors, it’s ourselves. So listen in to this masterclass on how to stop upper limiting and break up self-sabotage. I’m so ready to show up and play big. And I want that for you, no matter what that looks like.

There’s no one better suited to speak to resilience and transformation than Lori Harder, who pushed herself out of her comfort zone to go from a broke, unhealthy, anxiety-ridden introvert, to a confident and abundant self-made millionaire, speaker, podcast host, fitness world champion, and cover model. Lori is a serial entrepreneur and CEO of multiple companies, including Glōci and Lite Pink. She’s a best-selling author and the host of top podcast, Earn Your Happy.

Tune in as we chat about:

What are quantum leaps, and how has Lori harnessed them for her success?
Dealing with anxiety and panic attacks
Using fear as a compass to find our purpose
Practical tips to overcome public speaking anxiety
Overcoming the fear of failure
Using resistance and challenge to create inner strength
How upper limiting is holding us back from our potential
The different disguises of self-sabotage
The power of our relationships and social circles in our success

ICYMI: Layoff Stories Are Trending On TikTok…Here’s What Happened When I Was Laid Off, And What I Learned From It Jan 29, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to this week’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed.

Horrible layoff stories are trending on TikTok right now, led by badass Gen-Zs like Brittany Pietsch who worked at @Cloudflare, who are filming and posting their virtual firing meetings.

And I’ve been there. From being shepherded into a room like cattle where dozens of colleagues and I were unceremoniously laid off by HR, to managing my boss’s calendar as their meeting to lay me off was scheduled into it — I know a thing or two about the emotional damage of getting laid off by a company you worked your ass off for.

So we're throwing it back to my layoff experiences that I shared in season 1, and everything I learned from it. The most important thing? You actually can’t blame yourself or allow it to inform your identity and self-worth. It’s a numbers game that has nothing to do with you — maybe you were the most recent hire, or you make $1K more than your teammate. Often, the people who you work closest with, like your manager, aren’t even involved in these decisions.

Getting let go is devastating, but it’s also an opportunity to reevaluate. Use this as a chance to build a solid strategy for your career trajectory. Get intentional about your purpose and your job values, and only apply to opportunities that check those boxes.

How To Embrace Heartbreak, Alchemize Emotions, And Harness Vulnerability, with Allie Michelle Jan 10, 2024

Show notes

Feeling your feelings is hard work. But it's worthy work if you want to live a full life...and we can do hard things. We all have an ever-evolving relationship with our emotions: Some of us dive headfirst into heartbreak, some avoid the discomfort of grief, some are just learning to process difficult past traumas, and others show us the beauty of how to alchemize our experiences into vulnerable words and art.

Today, we are talking to the wise, talented, and incredibly lovely Allie Michelle, who captures the depths of human emotion through her beautiful writing and spoken word. It can feel overwhelming to be a sensitive empath in the world today, but our sensitivity is our superpower, and our grief is just a representation of how deeply we love. As put so beautifully by our guest, this episode will help us all “find the strength it takes to be soft.”

Allie is a 3x Best-selling author and spoken word artist. She's one of my favourite poets of all time, and her new fantasy novel, Legends of Lemuria, comes out this February on Thought Catalog! She runs Pen 2 Publish, a program to help writers create, publish and market their books. Allie co-founded a community for mental health and wellness called We Are Warriors, and she's also a certified meditation, breathwork and yoga teacher.

Tune in as we chat about:

Feeling deeply without being consumed by it
Unhealthy VS healthy empathy, and navigating life as sensitive souls
How to actively process pain and difficult emotions
Inner child work
The power of embracing heartbreak
Using fear as a positive compass VS a deterrent
Finding your voice as a storyteller
Allie's hot take on writer's block
Showing up as your most raw, unmasked self
The art of really breathing

"Break my heart
break it so wide open
that the whole world
can fit in between the pieces." — Allie Michelle
