Did you know you can be addicted to anger? The emotion causes a chemical reaction in our brain just like any other heightened emotion but unfortunately this one can lead to habits that may be hard to break and is pretty destructive.

Anger releases dopamine like other addictive/habit forming activities such as cocaine, gambling, drinking, etc. In this episode, we dive into the lesser known addiction of anger, the form it may take, and how to keep an eye on it!

Following part one of this topic, we dive into strategies you can use for rest and recovery. We are eager for you to get as much as you can out of these two episodes as possible.

We discuss our own methods, how they look completely different but serve the exact same purpose and how you can find your own methods to regain zen at anytime. The description below is a reminder of what part one entails.

Part 1: Resilience may look different from person to person, but one thing that all resilient persons have in common are the practices that strengthen their resilience, like the practice of rest and recovery.

Rest and Recovery are often overlooked as source of resilience and often times they are confused as the same thing. They are probably the most forgotten tactic in forming resilience. But in this chat, we dive into the benefits of resilience and how to utilize the two for your resiliency.

Hope you enjoy this chat!

Am I good enough? I am not really the best version of myself. Do I really have anything to offer? ..... That's some negative self-talk. Have you had any of that lately?

Self-talk is something we all do even when we aren't fully aware that it is happening. Many of us skew to the more negative side of self-talk that taps into our fears. But what good is that doing?

Self-talk redirects your frame of mind and shapes your outlook. That has so much power and we want you to be able to harness it. In this chat, we tap into the power of self-talk and its connection to emotional intelligence, so settle in and come join the chat!

Many of us have been in a situation where we have acted out of concern for another person and that my friend is empathic concern. We may not have realized it then but compassion for that person drove us to action.

Empathic Concern more widely known as compassion or sympathy is the last leg of the empathy triad. This is the reactionary part of the triad, the type that makes us jump into action when we perceive someone’s well-being has been compromised.

To wrap up the triad, we speak about the benefits of empathic concern and how to balance the use of all three legs: Cognitive Empathy (the head), Emotional Empathy (the heart), and Empathic Concern (the gut).
