Well with Anna

Did you know that we unconsciously communicate our true feelings through non-verbal cues? That our facial expressions, posture, eye contact, touch, space, voice, gestures, intensity and consistency can reveal our emotions?

This episode explores all things body language and non-verbal communication. Learn how to read people, interpret emotions, spot a lie, identify rapport, and develop consistency between your body language and your words.

This conversation dives into all things DiSC - a commonly used personality and behavioural assessment tool to improve communication, productivity and effective teamwork. It is a non-judgemental test, with no right answer or 'best result'. We will dive into the history, purpose, traits associated with Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness, as well as the best ways to communicate and approach others based on their type.

Recording myself and listening back is an old learning trick of mine, so I’m opening part of that journey to anyone interested in psychology research, theory or study. I explore evidence-based theories, including Goal Setting by Locke & Latham: my 15-minute take following hours deep in academic journals.

Hang in there for some personal anecdotes and modern takes sprinkled throughout.

We will cover: What is goal setting? Why is it important? What are the different types of goals? How can we achieve them?

An imperfect, unplanned episode on the psychology of perfectionism. Mostly anecdotal, with sprinkles of science and concepts from the experts.We will cover, in no particular order:What is perfectionism? What are the different types? What are the mental health outcomes? How can we practice imperfection and vulnerability? What are the benefits in doing this?

I both hate and love this episode. You can hear the discomfort in my voice. I hope this makes you feel safe to explore discomfort in your world.

Enjoy!

A conversation on the psychology of attachment.

What is attachment style? What are the 3 types? How do they show up in infants relative to their caregivers, and how to they impact our adult relationships later on in life? What can I look out for in assessing the attachment style of myself, or another?  How do the attachment styles relate to one another in terms of compatibility, and what are some common traps and cycles? How can we resolve these, and work toward secure attachments and relationships?

I will do my best to answer all these questions and more!

Today, I explore the seven key attitudes of mindfulness: non-judging, patience, beginners mind, trust, non-striving, acceptance and letting go.

I understand the logic of mindfulness but have always struggled with the implementation and embodiment. For this episode, I explore each attitude - what they might look like, and how they are, or are not showing up in my life.

My process in this podcast journey (so far) is to learn and share the topic simultaneously. Then I go back into my day-to-day and the real learning begins. Since recording, I have so many more examples and changes I want to make, but in practice of non-striving, accepting and letting go, I’m sharing this shambles with you now. I hope you in-joy.
