Now I have to be a good teacher too?!” “I have such high standards for myself. I’m afraid of my perfectionism as school starts again.” “I’m afraid for my health and for my child’s health.” “I feel like I’m choosing my job over my kid’s health.” Do any of these sound at all like the thoughts and feelings you’re having right now as the 2020 school year approaches?

0184 | Designing Your Life for Happiness
July 29, 2020 11:00 - 42 minutes - 38.6 MBOne of the really cool things that Psychology has to offer is its ability to help us understand our own behavior. I mean, why is it that some behaviors or habits are relatively easy for us to adopt, while we struggle with others? Why do some behaviors feel more “authentic” to us, while others feel more fake? What underlies all of that? And, more importantly, how can we use it to our advantage? That is exactly what we’re talking about this week as we chat with Amy Bucher. Amy holds...
0183 | The Self-Care Pyramid: The Components Most People Miss
July 22, 2020 11:00 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MBSelf-care is more than bubble baths and manicures, but unfortunately, most self-care content we see out there is missing important components. Arguably, they’re missing THE MOST IMPORTANT components. Today on the podcast, we’re diving into something we call The Self-Care Pyramid. Specifically, it’s the 3 key levels of self-care that you really need to have in order to support yourself as the asset that you are. Sadly, most self-care content only addresses one of these levels, and it’s ty...
0182 | Resentment Grows Where a Boundary Needs to be Planted
July 15, 2020 11:00 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MBWe’ve all been in the situation where someone, a boss, a co-worker, a partner, a friend, oversteps a boundary, we get frustrated, and we feel resentment toward that person begin to grow. The fact is, the way we interact in these interpersonal situations has incredible implications for so many aspects of our lives. It impacts the health of those relationships, it impacts our own sanity and wellbeing, and it impacts the way we show up for other people. Boundaries are important...but they...
0181 | The Annoying Roommate in Your Mind
July 08, 2020 11:00 - 44 minutes - 40.7 MBI’m sure you’ve seen it. The pretty Instagram post that says, “You are not your thoughts.” Heck, we’ve even posted that exact post from the Peak Mind account! But, you might be wondering what that even means, and that’s what we’re diving into with this week’s episode of the podcast. You see, here’s the thing: our minds are thought-generating machines. It’s their jobs. Our minds sending us a constant slew of thoughts is as natural as our stomach growling when we’re hungry. But, many ...
0180 | You are the Asset
July 01, 2020 11:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBLet’s take just a moment to review all of the people who rely on you in a given week. Your partner. Your kids. Your team at work. Your broader family. Your friends. That's a lot...and it can be overwhelming at times. You’ve probably seen the social media meme that says, “Self care isn’t selfish!” It’s typically written in some kind of flowy font on top of a photo of a woman in a bubble bath. But, for the number of times you’ve seen that meme, ‘liked’ that meme, nodded along with t...

June 24, 2020 11:00 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MBHave you ever been frustrated by self-help gurus and other people who tell you to become your best self, focus on gratitude, and show up as the person you want to be....all the while, they’ve never faced a day of adversity in their lives? The thing is, gratitude is easy when life is easy. It’s easy to show up as our best when life is going well. But, the rubber hits the road when life gets tough and we have to put this information, tools, and techniques to work in difficult times. Tod...
0178 | Facial Coding and Emotional Intelligence
June 17, 2020 11:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MBWhen someone asks you, “How are you feeling today?” How do you typically answer? If you’re like many of us, you answer with a simple, “Good.” But, that doesn’t convey nearly the entire story, does it? The fact is, we experience incredibly complex emotions, and our ability to recognize our own emotions and the emotions of others is called emotional intelligence, and it’s what we’re focusing on with this week’s guest. This week, we’re speaking with Dan Hill. He’s an internationally r...
0177 | The Technology Behind Mental Well-Being
June 10, 2020 11:00 - 45 minutes - 41.3 MBHave you ever wondered how some of the best mental well-being apps came to be? Apps like Happify, Headspace, and Muse.

Charlie is a partner within the influential investor group, Bridge Builders Collaborative. This group was the first to see, understand, and invest in startups within the consu...

0175 | The Psychology of Building Wealth
May 27, 2020 11:00 - 55 minutes - 50.7 MBThere are a few topics that just feel….”yucky” to talk about sometimes, and money is one of them. Think about it, we don’t talk about how much money we make, nor do we ask other people how much money they make. We have a tough time asking for what we’re worth, or even knowing what we’re worth in the first place. We’ve all heard dozens of sayings that portray people who are trying to build wealth as greedy people. No wonder why this topic is so off-limits! Not today! Today, we’re...
0174 | Living Life by Design After COVID
May 20, 2020 11:00 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MBStop. Stop right now. Consider for a moment the opportunity that stands before each and every one of us. Life is about to go back to “normal” after COVID. We’re about to go back to our jobs, begin shopping, interacting, and living in a way that is closer to the way we lived before COVID. However, we’ve been through a formative experience, and if you’re like me, you’ve learned a few things over the past few months. There are things you want to change. Alignments to be made. Yo...

May 13, 2020 11:00 - 38 minutes - 35.2 MBAs many of us are either reemerging after the pandemic or contemplating what our lives will be like as we go “back to normal,” many of us are thinking through the aspects of our “normal” lives that are worth going back to. Yes, the situation we’ve all been through has been difficult. We’ve endured tremendous hardship as a globe, but this adversity has likely illuminated changes you want to make in your life as you move forward.

0171 | Permission to Take Care of Yourself
April 29, 2020 11:00 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MBIf you’re like me, you’re a “doer.” When something needs to be done, you do it. When someone needs help, you’re there. When you see something that can be improved, you’re on it. There’s a shadow side to all that “doing.” Many times, we take on more and more at our own expense. We feel obligated to tend to others’ needs at the expense of our own. We try to control and manage things that are in actuality not ours to control and manage. This is called “over-functioning,” and it’s one ...
0170 | Maintaining Social Connection During a Pandemic

0168 | Parenting During a Pandemic
April 08, 2020 11:00 - 50 minutes - 45.8 MBIf you’re a parent, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that these are very difficult times. During this global pandemic, parents are being asked to simultaneously do multiple different jobs at the same time, and the expectations and evaluations we’re placing on ourselves can be crushing. I recently stumbled upon a meme on Facebook, of all things, and I knew that I had to reach out to its author to ask her to come on the podcast. Here’s an excerpt from that meme: Working, parenting, ...

The Rapture of Your Full Life Experience with Stephanie Raffelock
February 26, 2020 13:00 - 58 minutes - 53.6 MBSome of you might know that I recently turned 40! Beyond the typical celebration, cake, and candles that come with any birthday, something stood out as unique about this one. The reactions of people around me when I told them the age I was turning. Some people were very positive. They wished me a “happy birthday,” and that was the end of it. But many people seemed conflicted about the number 40. Their reactions felt as though they knew that the number 40 means something for woman. A...
