Anyone else feeling the effect of a teething toddler who doesn’t sleep through the night? Or perhaps you're going through a challenging work assignment?

These situations can feel, well, permanent.

In this week's episode of Snackable Psychology, we are exploring the powerful concept of “transience”. Transience means that nothing lasts forever; that everything is changing, it's non-permanent.  It reminds us that the tough situations will end, but also that the successes, cherished moments, precious memories will end too – we should appreciate those moments when we have them.  

So grab a snack and join us on Snackable Psychology to explore a concept that spans culture, religion, research, and time - "Embracing Transience". We will walk you through what it looks like at work, at home, and some practical ways to lean in to letting go too.

Ever feel exhausted… even though nothing is technically on fire?

You’re productive. You’re showing up at work. You’re handling life. But your patience is thinner, your energy is lower, and the smallest inconvenience feels overwhelming.

It might not be burnout -- It might be change fatigue.

In this episode of Snackable Psychology, we discuss Hacking Change so you can be your best while navigating the overwhelming changes going on in your life. From organizational restructures and leadership shifts to parenting transitions, sleep regressions, and evolving identities, your brain processes change as unpredictability; and unpredictability requires energy. Let's make it easier!

Here’s what we cover:

• What change fatigue actually is (and how it’s different from burnout)

• The brain science behind why change drains you

• Why even “good” change can leave you exhausted

• How change fatigue shows up at work (low engagement, cynicism, energy conservation)

• How it shows up at home (thin patience, mood swings, overwhelm)

• A practical tool called “routinizing change” to build resilience

• Simple strategies to stabilize your nervous system and recover faster

If you’re a leader navigating organizational change, a working parent juggling constant transitions, or just someone wondering, “Why am I so tired?” — this episode will help you reframe what’s happening and give you tools you can actually use.

Because change fatigue isn’t a resilience problem, it’s an anticipation and recovery problem.

Tune in for bite-sized psychology with a big impact — and learn how to hack change without burning out.

10-minute mini episodes!

When was the last time YOU failed… before coffee? 😅 In this episode of Snackable Psychology, we get real about failure—why our brains hate it, why we avoid it at all costs, and why that might be the very thing holding us back at work, at home, and in our relationships.

Drawing from psychology research, real-life parenting chaos, and plenty of relatable missteps, we unpack how failure actually rewires your brain, fuels growth, and builds resilience. From career risks and “intelligent failure” at work, to modeling healthy repair for kids (yes, including a very messy oobleck experiment), this episode reframes failure as information—not identity.

You’ll learn:

• Why your brain reacts to failure like social danger (and how to work with it)

• How failure accelerates learning, creativity, and long-term success

• What a growth mindset really looks like in real life

• How to fail safely at work without nuking your career

• Why kids don’t need perfect parents—just human ones who recover out loud

If you’re stuck chasing perfection, avoiding risks, or being way too hard on yourself… this episode is your permission slip to fail better, learn faster, and grow with a little more self-compassion. Bite-sized psychology. Big real-life impact.

'Choosing Optimism' isn't about toxic positivity, but using intentional techniques to change the way we think about, and respond to the things that happen in our lives.

So grab a snack, or finish that 'use-to-be-hot' coffee from earlier; and let's dive into neural plasticity together!
