Betterment Sessions Podcast

We've had the most amazing time creating and recording content each Wednesday this past year. While life is taking us in different directions, we wanted to come in and express our gratitude to all of our listeners and take some time to reflect on how this project evolved over the past 52 episodes. 

We're so incredibly proud of Betterment Sessions and what we've created here. Whether you've been with us since the start or are only finding us today, we hope that we have infused your life with a little bit of positivity and humor. 

With love to you all,

Emily & Natalie

You learn a lot after a decade of making people feel beautiful. This week Natalie shares the most profound lessons she's learned about herself, others, and life in general that we can all benefit from hearing too.

If you're looking to gain some powerful insights to walk into your day and this next year with, then this episode is for you.

Do you have a history of failed New Year's resolutions? Do you feel like you always have a ton of motivation to start healthy habits and drop the bad ones only to find yourself slowly slipping back into your old ways? Then this episode is for you.

This week Emily shares some brain-hacking tips for setting habits that actually last. And the good news - it's SO much easier than the way you've probably gone about it before.

A handful of these tips came from the book Atomic Habits, by James Clear. (Affiliate Link)

Natalie takes us on a deep dive into the phenomenon of confirmation bias and how it shows up in our relationships, family life, and society at large.

If we want to experience a balanced life where we can communicate openly and be available for opportunities for growth, we have to be able to identify where we have confirmation bias. This means we have to learn to be okay with the possibility that we could be wrong.

She also shares a list of how we each can specifically address our own confirmation bias in a healthy way that fosters deeper understanding of ourselves and our world.

This week Emily breaks down the danger that mental health stigma presents to so many, and how we each as individuals can do our part to negate the stigma and contribute to a society that fosters safety and acceptance for people who are struggling with mental illness.

Even if you don't have a mental illness, you absolutely know someone who does.

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please seek support by reaching out to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1 (800) 273-8255 or texting HOME 741741 to talk to a crisis counselor for free.

Ever wondered why some colors trigger certain emotions in you, or why you find yourself being drawn to some colors, while being repulsed by others?

In this episode, Natalie dives into the rainbow and explains to us the psychological impact of each color - including how they're used in advertising and how they impact our mood. By understanding how color uniquely affects each of us, we can use it to strategically impact our state of being in a positive way.

Also included: A gush about how happy we are for Britney Spears and her newfound freedom. #freebritney

We're taking the week off from our regular scheduled programming and wanted to make sure we popped in to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving.

We're so incredibly grateful to all of you who have allowed us into your lives each Wednesday these past 10-ish months. We'll be back next Wednesday with a new Betterment Session for you!

Until then be well, and enjoy. 

This week Emily gets personal about her experience with meditation, and gives a detailed explanation into exactly the benefits she has gotten from implementing time for daily stillness. 

Then, she explains the simple and straightforward way you can implement meditation into your routine in a way that is quick, sustainable, and effective.

If you've been curious about meditation and need something to finally push you over the edge into giving it a go, then this episode is for you.

Also included: An anti-leaf blower rant and a metaphor about logs and beavers going way too far.
