At its best, work can provide us with great meaning. At its worst, it can become a suffocating or addicting grind that reduces the quality of our lives.

My colleague, psychologist, TED speaker, podcaster, and author Dr. Guy Winch, wrote an outstanding book called “Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life.” He and I spoke about it on the latest episode of the SuperPsyched Podcast, and you can listen here or anywhere you listen to podcasts:

Even under the best of circumstances, being a mom can be very hard. Social comparison, overwhelm, and all types of self criticism can lead to shame and other toxic internal outcomes. To address this, my outstanding colleague, psychotherapist, and author Rebecca Geshuri, M.A., LMFT, PMH-C, wrote a book called When Good Moms Feel Bad, tuning into the needs of a mom applicable to any stage of mothermood. The book reads like a gentle and loving conversation from a friend. She and her co-author integrated the wisdom of a state of the art Psychotherapy approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS), to positively strengthen moms in their vulnerable roles. And since vulnerability is a precursor to courage, this book bolsters courage! Listen in to very thoughtful and helpful conversation with Rebecca, here, or on any podcast platform:

IRL is pretty great!

Last night I got to hang with one of my favorite podcast guests, thought leaders, and friends. Until last night, it was a coast to coast, “Zoom-only” relationship for a few years. You may know her, and if you don’t, definitely geek out to the writing of the great Dorie Clark! She’s awesome and I can say confidently, she’s even better in person!
