figuring out when you are wrong

Do you know someone who thinks they are always right and won’t ever admit when they’re wrong? Yes, of course, you do! We all do. And, sometimes that person is ourselves. In this episode of Figure Out Your Life podcast, I discuss how to know when you’re wrong and share 5 ways you can do something about it to decrease your likelihood of constant arguments, “Kanye rants,” pulsating forehead veins, and threats of being canceled.

Figuring Out “Shouldology” (In Order to Move Past Your Expectations to Accomplish Your Goals)

/
shouldology

There are lots of things in my life that I think SHOULD be a certain way---I should have a higher paying job, I should be in a loving romantic relationship, and I should be 50lbs lighter.  However, focusing on the “shoulds” has rarely helped me accomplish my life goals. More times than not it has led to toxic self-talk, a distorted self-image, and debilitating depression.  In this episode of Figure Out Your Life podcast, I discuss “shouldology,” which (if it were a real behavioral science) would be the study of a desirable or expected state, and share tips for moving past your “shoulds” towards embracing your reality and accomplishing your goals.
