We hope you...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we talk to  journalist and author Jonathan Rauch about his book on midlife - The Happiness Curve.   Inspired by his own experience Jonathan looked at research on age and happiness and found it shows that from our 20s into our 40s, happiness follows a well-documented U-shaped trajectory - a "happiness curve", declining from the optimism of youth into what&...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we discuss why it’s important not to ignore red flags - your gut instinct - that says something, someone or a situation isn’t quite right.  We’ve all had this experience where we’ve ignored our instinct only to kick ourselves later down the line.

Send us Fan Mail Do you often wonder why you find it so hard to change? Regardless of how much you try, you keep ending up doing the exact same things over and over?

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we’re discussing failure, because there’s such pressure in today’s society to be a success, that we often find the fear of failure debilitating.

It's an integral part...

Send us Fan Mail In the episode we explore enough-ness. When is our best good enough? When are we good enough? And when do we have enough?

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we talk about self commitment, and why we shouldn't underestimate the power of making or breaking promises to ourself.
