Welcome back to another episode of Doing Well: The Well-being Science Insights Podcast! This week, host Lu Ngo is joined by Loretta G. Breuning, Ph.D. to discuss team dynamics and its understated—albeit strong—effect on our well-being. 

Apart from founding the Inner Mammal Institute and serving as professor emerita of management at California State University, East Bay, Loretta has authored several personal development books, including 'Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphin Levels'. Her roles as a teacher at work and a parent at home have motivated her to research human brain chemistry further.

In this episode, Loretta breaks down the concept of 'psychological safety' and its significance in promoting team well-being. That aside, she shares some examples of how less-than-desirable team dynamics can negatively impact individuals' mental and emotional well-being. Together, Lu and Loretta discuss various real-life stories that showcase improved well-being by prioritizing genuine teamwork values.

Give this episode a listen for more fascinating insights on team building and its impact on our well-being!
