Advice For Living

2024-01-23 Mama Minimalist

Wisdom is a cumulation of valuable lessons we pick up along our journeys through this messy thing called life. And pearls of wisdom, then? Such nuggets are guideposts as we navigate the complexities of living in an uncertain world in an uncertain time.

On today’s show: A conversation with author Dr. Elizabeth Kagan Arleo about trusting the wisdom of the experts — both modern and ancient — so as to better overcome life’s challenges and improve overall well-being.

Here’s a preview of the wisdom we discuss today:

[1:30] First, eat your frog!

[4:00] Schedule your time in 168-hour chunks

[11:30] Set criteria, meet criteria, and be satisfied (no perfection required)

[18:00] Stop over-apologizing (seriously, stop it!)

[22:00] If you don’t ask, the answer is always no

[27:00] Imposter Syndrome: Name it to tame it

Talking It Out

Why aren't we talking about the elephant in the room?

Broaching the topic of climate change can be socially awkward at best and polarizing at worst. In fact, psychology, evolutionary biology and modern day tribalism keep many of us tongue-tied.

But staying quiet isn't an option. Breaking the silence around our warming planet is one of the most powerful tools we have for systemic change. On today's show, author and climate scientist Norm Leo offers a formula for unlocking more deeply human, empathetic, and impactful conversations about climate change.
