Romantic relationships are just like any other achievement, right? We can just make a detailed plan, work really hard, have a high level of control and achieve all of our goals! Right? Right?!?

L.O.L.

Perfectionism and personal relationships don't mix well, so cozy up to your psychologist besties as we discuss the challenges high achievers sometimes face in dating and romantic partnerships.

Over-Functioner? I hardly know her!

Just kidding. She is us. We are her.

Join your psychologist besties to learn about the dynamic of over-functioning, which breeds resentment and exhaustion, and what we can do to change it. It's time to stop feeling like we have to take on everything while the people around us relax with their feet up sipping frozen daiquiris, fellow high achievers!

Overachieving and Imposter Syndrome go together like peanut butter and jelly! Join your psychologist besties for our first of several discussions on Imposter Syndrome. We'll discuss what it is, how to challenge it and ways to imagine that you deserve credit for your success.

Do your psychologist besties have any expertise in AI and/or computational neuroscience? Absolutely not! Are we still going to flap our gums about it? You bet! Pull up an ergonomically designed computer chair and listen to our minimally informed opinions on the intersection of AI and mental health care.

Money! Wanting it, having it, spending it, saving it: these are important and often emotionally complicated experiences for high achieving women. So roll up (your pennies!) with your psychologist besties to discuss this often avoided topic.

Unable to put your feet up for 5 minutes without feeling guilty about being unproductive? No? Just Us? Well, come alongside your psychologist besties anyway to discuss why relaxing can be challenging for high achievers and how to shift into a mindset that sees rest as a need, not a luxury.

Spoiler: your therapist is just a regular person, which means they will need professional support sometimes. Nicole and Victoria discuss their experiences from the other side of the couch and explore what it's meant for them to be on the receiving end of mental health care.

High achievers often struggle with asking for help, or even just accepting help when it is offered. Saddle up with your psychologist besties to hear about the benefits of getting better at this important life skill!

Nope. Nuh-uh. Hard pass. Nah.

However we want to phrase it, no can be hard to say, especially for high achievers! Join the psychologist besties in the struggle to learn how to articulate your limits and feel empowered to refuse when it serves you.

High achievers struggle with embracing failure. It goes against all of our instincts! But learning to fail can help us to cultivate self trust, compassion and personal growth in all kinds of unexpected ways.

So join us, and we can all fall flat on our faces together, knowing we'll be able to dust ourselves off, get back up, and be better for it.
