Tired of your lying brain shouting at you? Finding it a challenge to move ahead on your goals? Therapy might help with these quandaries, but only if you find a therapist who really gets you. And who has the time?!

Finding a therapist can seem like a confusing task in futility...(some might say a Sisyphean endeavor) but no more!

Cozy up to a good episode about a BAD situation: dealing with rejection. Can we get an ugh? (Ugh!!!) Rejection happens; it’s nothing to be ashamed of but the emotional roller coaster of getting through it is a real screamer.

Through the lens of getting laid off, we will discuss how to give yourself grace and space to grieve after rejection. And of course, you'll hear how a book or two can really guide you through (Yay rhyming!)If the guarantee of good content isn’t quite enough for ya, then you should listen to find out how you can win a FREE BOOOOOK. Oh, and also stay tuned for BIG NEWS for the pod...

It's time to harness the power of Spring Break, a respite from responsibilities and an invitation to parrrrrtyyyyy. Except uh, as adults that's not a thing that exists (cue sad trombone).

Until we can implement Adult Spring Break (contact your representatives), we'll have to settle for shaking up the monotony on our own terms. Bikinis are optional.

Sometimes it feels like the world wants you to be small but this week we are getting in our best power pose to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

It's time to push back on the narrative that bragging is bad and instead dig in and identify things we can be proud of ourselves for. If this sounds like a tall order, don't fear: we will call on some fictional friends to show us how it's done.

Last week we rightfully called your brain out for being the dirty liar it is: we hope it went to its room and thought long and hard about what it has done, and now has a better attitude. This time, we are gonna learn how to combat your big brain with a little more TLC.

We will dig into understanding your brain's motivations and how, like Jerry McGuire, you can learn to "Help Me...Help You." Except the me is you. And the you is also you.
