Psychological Flexibility (0:00:00)

Sometimes, it feels like someone threw a wrench into what was going to be a good day. But that’s just life... it’s always changing and requires us to be flexible. In fact, stretching our mental and emotional capabilities is just as important as stretching our muscles, especially in tumultuous times. Luckily, we can learn how to become psychologically flexible to manage our ever-changing world. Joining us today is Dr. Lara Fielding, a Clinical Psychologist specializing in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. She’s here to discuss how to adapt our minds and emotions to roll with the punches.Personal Branding (0:16:05)

As great as it is to showcase our lives to the digital world, being aware and even deliberate about what we post is more important than we realize, especially in regards to our career. Here to join us today is career expert Josh Doody to share how we can use our social media to further our careers and impress future employers.Relationships and Politics (0:34:37)

Have you ever had a conversation go completely south after bringing up a political topic? Even if you have the best intentions, politics have a way of causing arguments, bringing up hurt feelings, and even destroying relationships. A study by VitalSmarts showed that nearly 3 out of 4 people reported that a political discussion has hurt a relationship, with 1 in 4 saying that relationships never fully recovered. Here to talk more about how we can develop the right skills for having civil political conversations with our peers without burning bridges is Joseph Grenny. Joseph is the cofounder of VitalSmarts, a leadership training company.Pandemic Parenting (0:50:35)

When the stay at home orders started coming in and schools starting closing, I know many parents were feeling a little nervous and overwhelmed by the fact that they were now going to be their kids’ entertainers, teachers, and caretakers for 24 hours 7 days a week. Parenting is a big responsibility under normal conditions, but these extraordinary times seem to have made it extra hard. So, how should we adapt our parenting during this time and how can we stay sane? We wanted to get some tips for all the parents out there on how to handle this new normal at home. Here to share his advice with us is Developmental Behavior Pediatrician and author, Dr. Damon Korb.Dance From Home (1:06:16)

Social isolation has given many of us the time and opportunity we need to achieve some of our goals and dreams... including learning how to dance. And, I don’t mean learning Tik Tok dances or how to do the Soldier Boy routine, even though those are good and fun. I mean actual, skillful dancing. In fact, there are many resources out there available for aspiring dancers and dancers who want to keep practicing while they can’t go to a studio. Amy Miller is a Co-Director and a performing member of Gibney Company in New York City, and she’s with us today to talk about how we can dance at home during COVID-19.Weekend Review (1:27:11)
