False Expectations

Season two comin' atcha! On today's episode we'll explore Dina's experiences of growth between ones 20's and 30's and when does one become "themselves." ENJOY

It's not anyone else's fault for how you react to something that they say, right? But it is on us to *think* about what we're saying before it leaves our mouths or in most cases, our fingers as we type them. Words have meaning and we don't think about that enough anymore. We're short and to the point or we abbreviate or we ignore. Maybe if we stepped back and took an additional minute it will help our conversations, and further our relationships overall. Who knows - just a thought.

With the year we've all just had, who doesn't need a little bit of joy in their lives? That's how I stumbled upon today's guest, Danielle McCleerey. She's a podcast host herself of the ever uplifting On The Daily Podcast. She's a mom of one (we have that in common). She's a fitness enthusiast who you can find instructing cyclists via SoulCycle. And she's an all around gem. The false expectation we tackle today is around being a parent. I waited until I found just the right person to jump into parenting expectations and don't you worry, it won't end here. Enjoy!

IT'S OUR TENTH EPISODE! Being a fan of a celebrity - I get it. Feeling passionate about some sort of civil right(s) - SAME! Have a mentor who you really admire - perfectly normal. But when we take those admirations into idolization, maybe even obsession - THAT I don't get. On today's episode I dive into it. Enjoy!

Over recent years I've been introduced to 12-step programs by friends, podcasts and books and have been extremely intrigued. Because to me everyone can use a little help with self growth and personal evolution. That's where hollywood actress, producer, and director Brianne Davis came in. I've been a fan of her podcast, Secret Life, for a bit and when I saw she was launching a book called Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex and Love Addict, I knew I needed to chat with her. I finished her book in 3 days and one day later we were recording this episode. She debunks many expectations for me ranging from industry stuff, parenting, addition, and more. I can't wait to hear what you all think. Enjoy!

Have you ever been using a product or service and thought, "Why didn't I think of that?!" Of course, we all have. Think about how rich you could have been (kidding). But, have you ever then thought about how easy it would have been to LAUNCH that product? Exactly. On today's episode I sit down with two guys ( Hosts Joey Braun and Avery Chatman of the MindShape podcast) who've been in the podcast biz a bit longer than I have to discuss the false expectation of "no-brainer" ideas.

Is technology causing our imaginations and creativity to diminish? Is that why all of these hallmark holidays and national appreciation days exist? Today I rant a little bit about my distaste for forced "supposed-to" days and harp on wanting to appreciate someone or something and even OURSELVES when you so choose (while also pushing for more spontaneity). Enjoy!

We received many requests for more "career stuff." And so, I couldn't be more excited about my conversation with the lovely Terry Boyle McDougall. Terry is an Executive & Career Coach and CEO of Terry B. McDougall Coaching. She helps high-achieving professionals remove obstacles that keep them stuck so they can enjoy more success and satisfaction in their lives and careers. On today's episode, Terry discusses her experience with the woes we all go through in our careers and shares a great piece of advice for all of us to take in. Enjoy!

What are we if we're not a success? Growing up and even up through the past few years the way I defined success was very different than the way I view it today. If you consider yourself successful is that controversial? Or does it depend on the way you define it? That's what we're getting into today. Enjoy!

At this point in global pandemic world who DOESN'T need or want a vacation? Exactly - but are your vacations (single, couples, family, etc.) always everything you expect them to be? Does it matter? We jump into that today. Enjoy!

Remember when you were younger and you thought your parents, teachers, and (OMG) your grandparents were ancient? As you've aged has that mindset changed? I think the answer is "of course" - but in the year 2021 has what's considered to be old changed as well? Today we explore what/when is old, old? Has that changed? And there's also some deep diving into where grandparents do, in fact, buy their clothes - does that store still exist and when does a person start to buy those clothes? Enjoy!

Are you the same person you were when you declared what you wanted to be when you grow up? Do you still want to be now what you wanted to be then? All that plus Dina harps on the suckiness of the interview process. Enjoy!
