July 18, 2024#215: Stop Trying to Be Happy (and Do This Instead) (Encore)

why searching for happiness is NOT good for body-image
how hedonic adaptation gets in the way of our happiness, no matter how much we achieve or accomplish in life
what to focus on instead of “being happy”

June 20, 2024How Women's Body Image is Plagued by "Beauty Sickness" and How to Maybe Heal w/ Dr. Renee Engeln
Our culture is OBSESSED with female bodies and their appearance making us all “beauty sick.” From constricting clothes to anti-aging skincare products, beauty culture eats up our precious time, money, and energy. This is an eye-opening and deeply-relatable discussion with Dr. Renee Engeln about “beauty sickness,” the disease that plagues so many women (to no fault of their own).
You will learn about...
what the research shows about beauty culture and objectification of women
the performative aspects of femininity
the psychological effects of aging in a beauty-obsessed society
how we can fight off beauty sickness both individually and collectively
Renee Engeln, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Northwestern University, is the author of Beauty Sick: How the Cultural Obsession with Appearance Hurts Girls and Women. Her lab (The Body and Media Lab, a.k.a. “BAM”) conducts research exploring issues surrounding women’s body images, with a particular emphasis on cultural practices that create or enforce the frequently contentious relationship women have with their bodies. The research, which has appeared in numerous academic journals, focuses on Objectification Theory, Fat Talk, and Idealized Media Images. She is regularly interviewed by the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, BBC, the Huffington Post, and other national media. Her TEDx talk has over 800,000 views on YouTube.
Remember: Though we won’t heal from beauty sickness overnight, we have the power to minimize how much we participate in it.

June 13, 2024Ep. 210: Process > Result
What would you pursue regardless of the result? Let’s reflect on how being results-oriented removes the joy of the process. Though sometimes results do come, maybe we’d be happier if we were more immersed in the process itself.
You will learn how to...
Trust your unique process and let go of the need for immediate results
Embrace activities that bring joy without a focus on outcome
Shift your mindset to find peace in the present moment
Remember: ”Trust your process, release the result.”
