Today we’re learning about love with Best-selling Author, Counselor, and Personal Development Leader Thais Gibson. Thais’ most recent book is called Learning Love: Build the Best Relationship of Your Life Using Integrated Attachment Theory.

In this discussion, we learn all about attachment theory and how our early family relationships impact our attachment styles AND how this can impact our relationships later in life. She describes each attachment style, shares how we can reprogram our core wounds, how to identify our emotional triggers and how to communicate our needs and boundaries to our partners. All really important stuff! We definitely have the capacity to change if we become more conscious of what’s driving our behaviors. That’s great news. I learned a lot. I felt like the discussion was a mix of ted talk and a micro dose of therapy. I think you’ll enjoy what she has to say.

Today's encore episode is with the lovely Daphne Rose Kingma, best selling author of 12 books, primarily on love and relationships. Her books have sold more than a million and a half copies and been translated into 16 languages. The San Francisco Chronicle called her the love doctor. In this episode, I was excited to ask her my many questions on love and relationships, but I also asked several from our listeners who shared them with me before the interview. Here’s a preview of some of the questions she answered…. What are the biggest challenges people have in relationship? How would you define falling in love or even just love? Does marriage require a leap of faith or is it a choice or what? Why do some relationships work and to others not so much. I truly believe that loving others is one of the greatest gifts we have and relationships are a mirror into what we each need to learn in our own lives. But as Daphne clearly said…relationships are not for sissies.

Todays encore guest is the lovely Emma Seppala. She’s a bestselling author, Psychologist, Research Scientist, Lecturer at Yale and Faculty Director of the Yales Women’s Leadership Program. In this interview we talk about her new book, Sovereign: Reclaim Your Freedom, Energy, and Power in a Time of Distraction, Uncertainty, and Chaos.

She explains that sovereignty is a state of self awareness that allows us to see how and when we are standing in our own way. It also gives us the courage to free ourselves from the ways we are bound so that we can change and move forward.

Sovereignty helps us to optimize the most important relationship of all; the one we have with our selves.

The quality of our lives is dependent on the state of our minds. This is THE one thing that we really do have control over. 

You can be doing all the happiness and wellbeing practices, but if you're still buying into thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that no longer serve you, then you're not going to reach your full potential despite your best efforts. She shares many tools and techniques to help.

Today’s episode is focused on resilience, emotional intelligence and self regulation with Authority Guide author, business psychologist and leadership trainer, Robin Hill. He shares what resilience is and is not and how we can be more emotionally intelligent in the workplace, and perhaps with our families and personal relationships.

We talk about the importance of self awareness and how to acknowledge and understand our emotions without having them rule us. He shares how certain emotions have the power to drain us— to drain our resilience actually, but the more we understand that this is a natural part of being a whole person, the more we can manage it.

This was such a fun interview — our encore guest today is Dr. Robert Waldinger, a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, a practicing Psychiatrist, Zen Master and author of the book The Good Life, Lessons from the Worlds Longest Scientific Study on Happiness. This study, which began in 1938, reveals what it takes to build a good life. What does that exactly mean, I wondered…fulfilling, satisfying, meaningful, happy? All of it. There's no one size fits all. BUT…the one thing that was consistent? Relationships. All kinds of relationships. The quality of the social connections that we make throughout our lives means everything. He says…Human connection is our superpower. Good relationships help us get through life’s inevitable challenges, and they keep us happier and healthier. and the research shows that they actually help us to live longer. Robert reminds us that we should pay attention to the things that we really care about…the things and people that energize us. AND pay attention to the things and people that deplete us. He shares the keystones of healthy relationships — things like safety security, emotional closeness, fun and relaxation, learning and growth…and there’s more. 

Resources: The Good Life is available at all major booksellers.

Today’s episode is with Clinical Psychologist and author, Dr. Ellen Hendriksen. Her new book is called How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists. What a great title! Ellen shares the truth behind perfectionism and why many of us never feel quite ‘good enough.’ Ever feel imposter syndrome? Most of us do. She delivers amazing advice on how we can allow for mistakes (because we’re human!) without lowering our expectations or standards. She discusses how we can move from self-criticism to kindness, from control to authenticity, from procrastination to productivity and from comparison to, finally, contentment. She gives us the roadmap for finding self-acceptance and even some tips on how we can rewrite our own Inner Rulebook. If you’re wired to be judgmental of yourself and others…and who isn’t!! You’ll find this to be incredibly helpful.

Today's encore episode is with Yale Psychology Professor and Happiness Lab podcast host, Laurie Santos. Laurie taught "Psychology and the Good Life" first in spring 2018 in response to concerning levels of student depression, anxiety, and stress on campus. It became the most popular class in Yale's history. Laurie Santos has definitely hit a nerve. The good news is that we have a lot more control over our happiness levels than we think. Laurie talks about how to put the science of happiness and well-being to work in our own lives. And she offers actionable steps and choices we can take right now. 

Laurie’s goal is to help teach us all to live happier lives through science-backed techniques
