Don reveals he's a "superlearner", Ben wants to rewire his brain, and Kym takes us to school on the technicalities of skills and abilities.

  • Ep. 40 - The Road to Happiness

    Howdy Drivers!

    This week is our Season 1 Finale! That's right, we've made it to the end of the road, at least for this year. We'll be back next year with more friendly advice on relationships.

    This week's subject is gratitude, something we might think about during the Thanksgiving holiday, but should be making into a daily habit. Don gives us some stats on why a daily habit of gratitude can improve your life, and Kym gives us some practical tips on building that habit. Ben laments his journaling habits...or lack thereof.

    If you've enjoyed the show, have suggestions for improving it, or just want to say hi, we really want to hear from you! We may make big changes to the show based on YOUR feedback, so if you have ideas, please write to us at [email protected]

    And of course, every rating and review on iTunes helps a tiny podcast like ours. We greatly appreciate your support. Thanks for listening, and we'll see ya next year!

  • Ep. 38 - Gold Star Highway

    Today is Veteran's Day, and we want to say thank you to any of our listeners who are vets. Don himself is a vet, so we thought this week he could give us some insight on the particular relationship challenges military people face when returning to civilian life.

  • Ep. 37 - The Unicycle

  • Ep. 36 - Highway to Heaven

    Join the road trip trio this week as they explore Kym's favorite holiday: Halloween. Well, and All Saint's Day. Oh and Dia de Los Muertos. Turns out, there's a lot to know about traditions and how different people keep them (or change them).

    Hey there Drivers,

    This week we talk through five attitudes that help keep a marriage (or any significant other relationship) healthy in the long run. These are things that Don has seen over his many years of work.

    Stay safe out there!

  • Ep. 34 - Changing the Tire

    Howdy Road Trippers!

    This week, we get into the nitty gritty of using CBT (that's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to take control of and change your own behaviors. Kym reveals a deep hatred of tuna casserole, Don encourages us to be mindful, and Ben wonders if it's possible to develop a dislike of dogs whilst trying to reinforce one's own likability.

  • Ep. 33 - Self-Driving Cars

    This week things get science-y as Kym takes us on a journey through our own brains. Ben asks the obvious questions so you don't have to, and Don advises against removing one's own amygdala as a treatment for anxiety.

    Thanks for listening!
