Figuring Out Cancel Culture (and Why It Doesn't Really Work)
Why “cancel culture” work until it gotta work? Cancel culture is a modern internet phenomenon where a public figure is ejected from influence or fame due to their problematic actions. In the last two years, “cancellation” has worked as intended, in the cases of alleged predators R. Kelly and Harvey Weinstein. But, why hasn’t it worked in the case of someone like MAGA hat-wearing Kanye West, who infamously said slavery was a choice (and recently said black people are “culture-less”)? He was “canceled” and now has the #1 album on iTunes. In this episode of Figure Out Your Life podcast, I discuss cancel culture, and explore why it doesn’t really work for everyone and should be canceled.

Figuring Out Ghosting (and Why You Should Speak Up Instead of Playing with Someone Else’s Emotions)
Have you ever been ghosted by a friend or someone you are dating? Or, have you ghosted someone? Chances are the answer is yes---to both questions! In today’s dating culture approximately 50 percent of men and women have been ghosted or have done the ghosting; and whether it be by a friend or someone you are dating, being ghosted sucks and can actually leave psychological bruises and scars. In this episode of Figure Out Your Life podcast, I discuss the phenomenon of ghosting, particularly why people do it and why it hurts so much, and share how to move forward after being ghosted.

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