  • Should you walk away or double down? How to know.
    Mar 13 2025

    If you feel like your progress (or your motivation) has stalled, you have options. You can redouble your efforts. You can take an entirely different approach. Or, you might even decide to walk away. In this episode, we’ll talk about figuring out which route serves you best.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Taking a break can help protect the quality of our work, create space for creative insights, and ensure that we’re using our time and energy in the most meaningful way.
    2. The urge to step away can sometimes be a form of avoidance. When something feels hard or tedious, pushing through may be the key to progress. The challenge is knowing when persistence serves us and when it doesn’t.
    3. Just because something was valuable or necessary in the past doesn’t mean it still is. We can get stuck in commitments out of habit, sunk costs, or fear of change. It’s important to ask: Would I choose this again today?
    4.
    Unplanned breaks can still serve us. When life forces us to pause, we can reframe it as an opportunity for reflection, skill-building, or re-evaluating our direction.
    5. Clarity comes from asking the right questions.

    1. What would taking a break or stepping back make possible? Would you use that freed-up time and energy to do something else that is important and meaningful to you?
    2. Are there clear benefits to continuing? Are you willing to give those up, or would you regret it?
    3. Are you seeing the results you had hoped to see? If not, why not?
    4. Might you be better off pursuing the same goal but in a different way?
    5. Is this goal still meaningful to you?
    6. Am I continuing in this effort because it still makes sense, or because I’m having trouble cutting bait on the time or effort I’ve already invested?
    7. Has my objective changed? Is this goal still aligned with my current objective?
    8. If I were starting from scratch today, would I still commit to this?

  • A sure-fire way to set yourself (and others) up for failure
    Feb 20 2025

    Are you guilty of holding yourself (or others) to impossibly high standards?

    In this episode, we're exploring the concept of Ought implies can—the notion that we can only be obligated to do what we’re actually capable of. But how do we know where the limits of ability really are?

    Are we being too hard on ourselves (or others)? Or are we making excuses?

    Learning how to tell the difference can help you set fair, realistic, and empowering expectations—for yourself and everyone around you.

    Key Takeaways

    - Capacity includes more than just your physical ability to do something—cognitive, emotional, and situational factors also shape what’s truly possible.
    - There's an important difference between "I can't" and "I can't yet."
    - Acknowledging barriers or limitations is not an excuse, it's an invitation.
    - When setting expectations—of yourself or others—check your assumptions. Are you asking for something that’s actually within reach? Or are you expecting the impossible?

    Feb 6 2025

    Feeling stuck in the daily grind? Quitting isn’t the only way out. In this episode, Dr. Jessica Grossmeier shares how to find meaning, connection, and even transcendence in the job you have now.

    We explore:
    - How small shifts in perspective can reignite purpose and satisfaction
    - The power of workplace connections and why they matter more than you think
    - Simple, science-backed practices to reset, refocus, and thrive at work
    - Why transcendence is a job skill—and how to cultivate it

    Whether you love your job, feel stuck, or are considering a change, this episode will challenge you to think differently about work—and yourself.

    Key Takeaways


    - Work can be so much more than just tasks and productivity when we bring our best selves and connect to a larger purpose.
    - Instead of leaving a job that feels misaligned, shifting how you approach your work can bring new fulfillment.
    - Meaningful relationships at work enhance well-being, performance, and job satisfaction
    - Create intentional time for space for mindful movement, deep breathing, or intentional connection with colleagues.
