Podcasts about Curiosity

While we're busy working on new episodes, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite conversations from Season 3. When we first spoke with Hayete Gallott, she was Corporate Vice President at Microsoft. Today, she is President of Customer Experience at Google. We thought this was a meaningful opportunity to revisit her reflections on career choices, change, and growth.How do you find the right career path when so many possibilities are in front of you? For Hayete Gallot, the answer has always been experimentation—trying new roles, seeing what sparks energy, and learning just as much from what doesn't.That curiosity has shaped her eclectic journey. Hayete has moved across engineering, product management, marketing, sales, and business planning—always following the thread of what felt meaningful at the time. Behind that drive is a lesson she learned from her mother: independence matters, because life can change in an instant.2:10 Lessons from Mom5:58 Being an Information Sponge6:14 The Value of Curiosity & Lifelong Learning10:24 Day-to-Day Leadership at Microsoft 14:42 You Probably Won't Be Working on What You Studied17:13 Confidence, Resilience, and Self-Belief18:24 Prioritize and Protect Your TimeLinks:Hayete Gallott on LinkedInSuchi Srinivasan on LinkedInKamila Rakhimova on LinkedInAbout In Her Ellement: In Her Ellement highlights the women and allies leading the charge in digital, business, and technology innovation.

From bingeing murder documentaries to tuning in to every new crime podcast, millions are hooked on true crime...but why? In this episode, I explore the surprising biological roots of our obsession, uncovering how fear, empathy, dopamine, and evolution all play a role. It turns out our brains are wired to pay attention to danger, feel for victims, and rehearse survival - making true crime not just compelling, but neurologically irresistible.

Mid-life crises have a bad rap.

O nouă ediție plină de energie și surprize ne așteaptă! Începem tare, cu o privire asupra spectaculosului Starship, care continuă să facă valuri și să scrie istorie în explorarea spațiului. De acolo trecem într-o zonă mai relaxată și amuzantă, unde internetul transformă meme-urile cântate într-un fenomen ce cucerește social media. Și pentru că distracția nu are limite, descoperim și lumea inedită a luptelor profesioniste cu perne – un sport bizar, dar din ce în ce mai popular.Nostalgia are și ea locul ei în episod, cu un moment dedicat cunoscătorilor, urmat de o privire serioasă către munca unui jurnalist aflat în Gaza, unde realitatea e departe de confortul din fața ecranelor noastre. Revenim apoi la o notă ironică: Trump vopsește gardul, dar doar pe interior – o știre care pare scoasă direct dintr-un sketch.Ne mutăm în Suedia, pentru a descoperi de ce se spune că Sweden is coold, iar apoi explorăm ultima modă din Malaezia, unde trendurile par desprinse dintr-un alt univers. Intrăm și într-o discuție serioasă despre sănătate: polenul, ambrozia și alergiile de sezon, dar și un reminder important – COVID-ul a fost real și, da, “era pe bune”.Pe zona de tech, avem o avalanșă de lansări: tableta Honor, noul Huawei Pura 80 prezentat de George și Cavaleria, dar și vești mai puțin plăcute – adio libertate pe Android, unde restricțiile devin tot mai vizibile. În gaming, analizăm de ce Roblox e prost pentru mulți, dar și harta țărilor unde jocul este blocat. Continuăm cu Dreame Matrix 10 Ultra, un gadget care promite să ridice standardele în tehnologie pentru casă.Pregătim terenul pentru marile confruntări: Apple își anunță noutățile pe 9 septembrie, iar Samsung vrea să îi ia fața, într-o competiție tot mai strânsă. Nu lipsesc nici momentele haioase: Will Smith și prostiile generate de AI, dar și gadgeturi mai puțin cunoscute, precum Notebook LM.Explorăm și subiecte cu impact global: erupția de la Mount Fuji simulată cu AI, un nou lansare Starship, dar și Robot World Games, unde roboții devin atleți. Aflăm și de ce telefonul trebuie pus pe airplane mode, descoperim un mega student pack de AI și discutăm dacă AI-ul pentru copii e un win sau un lose.Finalul e dedicat nostalgiei serialelor: Dexter New Blood și noul Dexter Resurrection, care promit să readucă în prim-plan unul dintre cele mai iubite personaje TV.O emisiune cu de toate: de la glume și meme-uri, până la tehnologie, sănătate și povești serioase.

Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/It's tough to separate your job title from your identity and self-worth. Here's 2 great questions Robert Earnshaw asked himself upon retiring from the highest level:“If I'm not a footballer…then who am I?”“Now that it's over, how do I want to show up, and who do I want to be for those around me?”Transferable Lessons & Principles from our conversation:- Obsession is necessary. The person who lies awake at night thinking about how to get better will win. - You are more than your job. Do not confuse WHAT you do with WHO you are.- Diversify your sources of happiness and self-esteem. Not every passion needs to be monetised. Keep something just for you. "Earnie" has navigated the transition from professional footballer and public figure with more ease, grace, and optimism than most.I caught up with him in Singapore, after we shared the pitch at the Soccer 7s Series to talk about the “inner game”:But this episode isn't just for athletes.

"Curiosity invites us to go deeper." In this episode, Nick speaks with TJ Woodward to explore conscious recovery, healing from trauma, and the importance of self-awareness in personal growth. TJ shares his journey from childhood experiences to addiction and recovery, emphasizing the significance of understanding core beliefs and the role of curiosity in healing. What to listen for: Life is about returning to our true selves, not about attaining something Childhood experiences significantly shape our beliefs and behaviors Unresolved trauma, spiritual disconnection, and toxic shame are root causes of addiction Awareness is crucial for healing, but it can also be painful Curiosity can lead to deeper understanding and growth Making peace with the past is essential for overcoming core false beliefs The lens through which we view the world is shaped by our experiences Healing trauma requires acknowledging and caring for our wounds The unconscious mind often dictates our responses and behaviors “Can I be in that in the midst of it? I wanna honor the pain. I wanna honor the experience. I'm not gonna bypass and pretend like it's not happening. But in the midst of that, it's like, I'm wondering what wants to emerge. What else is possible for me?” Being present with pain is powerful, it's not weakness, it's deep self-awareness Honoring what you're going through creates space for real transformation Emotional bypassing might feel easier, but it blocks growth In every struggle, there's potential for something new to be born Asking “what else is possible?” invites curiosity, healing, and forward movement “We can kind of change the past because the past is the narrative in our head and it's the energy associated with it.” The past isn't fixed — it lives in the stories we tell ourselves Shifting our perspective can shift how we feel about what happened Healing is about rewriting the emotional charge, not denying the facts Your story is yours to evolve, and that's real power Changing your relationship with the past changes who you become in the present About TJ Woodward TJ is a Revolutionary Recovery Expert, Inspirational Speaker, Educator, Addictions Treatment Specialist, host of The Element Q Podcast, and Best-Selling Author.

Mental toughness is overrated. Emotional regulation, self-awareness, and curiosity are more sustainable mental skills. Flow happens when your perceived skill matches the challenge. Fear arises when you perceive the challenge as greater than your ability—even when it's not. You can train flow state through breathwork, anchoring routines, and sensory cues like music, temperature, or feel. Reflection—done without judgment—is essential. Curiosity > criticism. Technology like FocusCalm and Mendi can now measure brainwave activity and train real-time focus. Cold plunges and challenges off the course build resilience you can bring onto the course. It's okay to care about outcome—but learn to measure success through your process. You're good enough. That self-belief is the filter that colors every golf shot. Key Quotes: Resilience isn't just about bouncing back—it's about staying focused when things go well too. Curiosity over critical—that's our mantra for post-shot routines. Flow follows focus. You must train your attention to stay present. You're already good enough. Most golfers don't need more skill—they need more belief. Cold plunges aren't about golf—but they teach you how to do hard things. That transfers. Don't just do a routine because your coach told you to—make sure it gets you calm, confident, and committed.

In a timely presentation released as summer turns to autumn, broadcaster and coach Stan Hustad introduced a daring new framework for what he calls a 'Zone-Full Life.' Built on years of reflection, conversations, and teaching, Hustad offers a way of understanding life not as a series of random events, but as a movement through a sequence of zones—each one offering opportunity, challenge, and fulfillment. Rather than drifting through life or settling for survival, Hustad challenges listeners to identify which zone they are in, which one they are moving toward, and how they might live with greater clarity, wisdom, and generosity. The Seven Zones of a Life Well Lived The Curiosity Zone We begin life with wonder and relentless questioning. Curiosity is our God-given default setting, yet it often gets crushed by conformity and routine. Hustad urges us never to abandon curiosity, for it is the foundation of creativity, discovery, and lifelong learning. The Impact Zone As we mature, we are called to 'make a dent in the universe.' This is the zone of productivity, contribution, and achievement—the time when careers are built, businesses launched, and the fruits of labor earned. Impact drives both influence and income. The Issachar Zone Named after an ancient Hebrew tribe known for 'understanding the times and knowing what to do,' this is the wisdom zone. It's where experience, discernment, and perspective converge. Few enter it deeply, but those who do gain the ability to guide others with clarity. The Transformation Zone Life is not just about change but about transformation—rebirth after tragedy, breakthrough after struggle, or a new vision discovered in maturity. Here, lives and businesses shift from mere function to radical re-creation. The Generosity Zone The happiest people, Hustad reminds us, are not the ones who accumulate, but the ones who give. In this zone, abundance becomes a call to share—time, treasure, wisdom, and compassion. It is the zone of blessing others. The Encore Zone Contrary to the myth of retirement, this zone is about launching new projects in later life. It's where people ask: 'What's next? What can I do now that I couldn't before?' For many, this is the most fulfilling zone of all. The Transcendence Zone Ultimately, life points beyond itself. In this final zone, we discover the spiritual, the eternal, and the reality that human existence transcends the material. It's where faith, meaning, and hope for 'something more' come alive. Things to Remember, Share, and Write Down • Life is best understood not as a straight line but as a journey through zones of growth, impact, and meaning. • Curiosity must never die. It is the beginning of wisdom and innovation. • Impact creates income, but wisdom shapes legacy. • Transformation is possible at any stage of life—often emerging from pain or crisis. • Generosity brings joy in ways accumulation never can. • An Encore Life is not retirement but new beginnings. • Transcendence calls us to see beyond ourselves and invest in what is eternal. Motivation for Today Hustad's message is not simply a philosophical musing—it is an invitation. Anyone, right now, can step more fully into their zone. Start by asking: - What zone am I in today? - What zone am I neglecting? - What is the next step I can take to live with more impact, wisdom, or generosity? Living a zone-full life means being present, practicing consistently, and pursuing performance with purpose. It is about knowing when to push forward, when to give back, and when to look beyond yourself. Call to Action Stan Hustad and his colleagues are developing a forthcoming book titled The Coaching Zone, designed to help individuals and communities embrace zone-full living. Through coaching, mentoring, and teaching, Hustad hopes to inspire a collective of people dedicated to living wisely and helping others flourish. The invitation is simple but challenging: Don't wait. Begin now. Enter your zone, live fully, and share generously.

In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin sits down with Greg Vetter, founder of Tessemae's, to discuss how a stolen bottle of his mom's homemade salad dressing sparked the creation of a national clean-food brand. Greg shares the realities of building a business from scratch, including cold-calling executives for insights, inventing clean manufacturing, and scaling Tessemae's to a $300–$500 million valuation—only to later face investor conflict and a complete collapse of the company. He opens up about writing his book Undressed, launching new ventures like Altaresh, Quenchers, and Tushies, and how staying grounded through family, routine, and faith helped him rebuild and support other entrepreneurs through his brand accelerator.Episode Outline:[00:00:04] Greg Vetter joins Alex Quin; summer recap and background[00:01:45] Exposure to wealth at college sparked entrepreneurial curiosity[00:04:22] Cold-calling executives to learn about success[00:05:29] Developing a sales system for tracking daily productivity[00:06:26] How a stolen bottle of dressing sparked a business idea[00:08:02] Early reactions from wife and mom to Tessemae's concept[00:09:00] First retail demo and 660 bottles sold in 5 days[00:11:35] What made Tessemae's different: clean ingredients and taste[00:12:55] Early marketing strategies: Facebook, in-store demos[00:14:12] Building a manufacturing plant from scratch[00:15:54] Business valued at $300M–$500M[00:17:27] Investor conflicts, legal battles, and business implosion[00:20:39] Launching the book Undressed after losing the company[00:23:20] Daily routines, mindset, and resilience as a dad and entrepreneur[00:26:33] New venture: Altaresh, and major partnerships with Sam's Club and Costco[00:28:59] Other businesses: Quenchers (vodka beverage), Tushies (portable toilets & wipes)[00:31:30] Brand accelerator and helping others scale their product companies[00:32:51] Legacy thoughts and personal branding symbolsWisdom Nuggets:Curiosity Fuels Success: Greg's success started with asking questions—first to wealthy teammates' parents, then to CEOs.

Real productivity drives outcomes, not just effort.Clean Ingredients, Clear Value: Tessemae's succeeded by removing unnecessary ingredients and offering better taste and transparency. Consumers valued authenticity, especially when paired with a strong story.Chaos Isn't the End—It's the Shift: Even after investor lawsuits and the collapse of Tessemae's, Greg used the experience as fuel to write a book and build new businesses. Failures can spark reinvention.Build Systems That Serve Others: Altaresh streamlined grocery prep with pre-portioned kits.

In today's episode, delve into the root causes of anxiety through the lens of both modern science and Ayurvedic wisdom. Unlike what the common Indian society preaches, anxiety is not just “all in the mind”; it is the body's natural response to perceived threats, often triggered by imagination rather than reality. Dr. Vignesh shares how Ayurveda views anxiety as an imbalance of Vata dosha, and how misdirected creative energy can spiral into worry and fear.Through practical tools and Ayurvedic insights, you'll learn how to reframe anxiety into resilience and curiosity, cultivating clarity and balance in everyday life.Get free episode abstract: https://vigneshdevraj.comThe details of our upcoming course on healing from anxiety will be announced shortly on our Instagram page.

Dating coach Tim Molnar blends social science and statistical scholarship with both personal experience and practical suggestions in hopes of transforming how people approach modern dating.  How can curiosity help in our dating lives? Tim has thoughts! We explore research's origins in "me-search"; getting curious about what is -- or isn't -- actually working; second dates and old-school advantages of the exposure effect; running small experiments with our lives; rejection leading to success; curiosity practices to keep dating your partner; and why caring about green smoothies is so very, very attractive.

Join Doug Bennett as he sits down with Financial Expert and Business Coach Monica Garcia Duggal. For 30 years she has been helping people, in particular, entrepreneurs to build wealth without burnout. Monica explains how the 80/20 rule, breath-work, meditation, a commitment to self-care and doing what she loves, including becoming an Ironman athlete, have helped her achieve big, audacious goals to create the life she loves. KEY TAKEAWAYS Monica has always used written goals to stretch herself and achieve more than anyone would think is possible. Use the 80/20 rule in all aspects of your life. Including when deciding how to spend your personal time. Focus in on the things that bring you the most joy, the things that nurture and re-energise you the most. Self-care is essential. Protect and feed your curiosity. That is where your most successful ideas come from. Curiosity also provides fuel to keep you motivated, growing and moving forward. Breath work is incredibly, incredibly powerful. Even 10 minutes a day will change your physiology and brain. For Monica, it has played a big role in helping her succeed. Companies that do not require the founder to run and remain profitable are easy to sell for a big profit. Focus on building self-managing companies. BEST MOMENTS "Goals, that's everything. You just have to figure out what you want, set the goal, and then just move forward on it. " "The 80/20 rule - 20% of whatever you do is giving you 80% of the results." "With goals, just show up. Everything will work itself out. Just show up, don´t judge. Show up and you will reach all your dreams." "Pay attention to your breathing three times per day. Even 10 breaths that's gonna start changing the neurons in your brain.." "To get the best price for your business, you've got to be superfluous to it."

Listen in to explore how buying decisions are emotionally and subconsciously driven, and why understanding this is key to driving conversions. I'll even introduce you to four types of hooks (Identity, Curiosity, Emotional, and Realization) and show you how to implement them in your content to drive action every single time.

Think about the times you've assumed someone's behavior revealed exactly what they were thinking. Nicholas Epley, our guest for this episode, explains this as correspondence bias and, through his book Mindwise, teaches us about the concept of correspondence bias and explains how we often believe that a person's actions correspond directly to their mental state. You'll hear about his research into social cognition and how it reveals that while humans are generally adept at reading others, we frequently overestimate our accuracy. The episode also covers practical experiments on how engaging with strangers can significantly boost our happiness, despite our fears and misconceptions, and the importance of curiosity in overcoming social anxieties and making positive first impressions. Listen and Learn: How our unique “sixth sense” of mind reading, our ability to understand, predict, and connect with others' invisible thoughts, shapes human connection and survivalWhy our ability to read other people's minds is far less accurate than we think, and what makes understanding others such a difficult challengeWhy we often overestimate how well we understand those closest to us, and how even long-term partners are not as accurate at reading each other's thoughts and feelings as they believeWhat drives our brains to form first impressions in an instant, how overconfidence shapes the way we read others, and why moment-to-moment cues like facial expressions play a bigger role in social interactions than we often realize?How can you make a great first impression without overthinking body language or tricks, simply by staying curious and genuinely interested in the person you're talking to?How correspondence bias makes us assume people's actions reflect their true thoughts and feelings, why this can lead to misjudgments, and how showing confidence, curiosity, or kindness can positively influence how others respond to youCan striking up a conversation with a stranger boost happiness more than staying to yourself, even though we usually expect the interaction to go badly?Resources: Mindwise: Why We Misunderstand What Others Think, Believe, Feel, and Want: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780307743565 Nicholas' website: https://www.nicholasepley.com/About Nicholas EpleyNicholas Epley is the John Templeton Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavior Science and Director of the Center for Decision Research at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He studies social cognition—how thinking people think about other thinking people—to understand why smart people so routinely misunderstand each other. He teaches an ethics and well-being course to MBA students called Designing a Good Life. His research has been featured by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Wired, and National Public Radio, among many others, and has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Templeton Foundation. He has been awarded the 2008 Theoretical Innovation Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, the 2011 Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology from the American Psychological Association, the 2015 Book Prize for the Promotion of Social and Personality Science, and the 2018 Career Trajectory Award from the Society for Experimental Social Psychology. Epley was named a "professor to watch" by the Financial Times, one of the "World's Best 40 under 40 Business School Professors" by Poets and Quants, and one of the 100 Most Influential in Business Ethics by Ethisphere.

PODCAST SHOW NOTES FORMAT Are you stuck in what feels like an emotional Groundhog Day with your teen—where the same arguments, defiance, and standoffs keep repeating? You're not alone. In this episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, I sit down with therapist and bestselling author Kati Morton to uncover why punishment-based parenting fails with teenagers and how to finally break these frustrating cycles. Kati explains that adolescence is about independence-seeking, not rebellion—and when parents try to control teens with consequences, they often fuel the very behaviors they want to stop. Instead, she offers science-backed strategies that shift the focus from control to influence, using curiosity and connection to build lasting respect and trust. From handling risky teen behaviors to creating space for authentic conversations, this episode gives you practical tools and a fresh perspective. If you're tired of repeating the same exhausting battles, this conversation will help you hit reset and start building a calmer, more connected relationship with your teen. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why punishing your teen often makes behavior worse, not better The game-changing shift from control to influence How to stay calm and use “wise mind” during heated conflicts Simple ways to spark honest conversations without forcing it

My guest: Michelle “Mace” Curran is a combat veteran, former fighter pilot, and only the second woman in history to fly as the Lead Solo for the Thunderbirds, the U.S. Air Force's elite demonstration squadron. Now on a new mission, she's using her story to inspire others. She is the best-selling author of The Flipside: How to Invert Your Perspective and Turn Fear Into Your Superpower. How to run "debrief" so that giving and getting feedback becomes embedded in your culture. The biggest mistake Michelle made when she became a new fighter pilot, and what you can learn from it. Early Exposure to Male-Dominated Environments – Michelle's dad took her hunting with guys starting at age 7, teaching her she "belonged in any room" she wanted to pursue. This early experience prepared her for being 1 of only 2% female fighter pilots. Parents Who Believed in Wild Dreams – Parents worked multiple jobs to afford camps (criminal justice, archaeology) whenever Michelle showed interest in something new. Taught her that opportunities weren't just possibilities - "I could go after it." The Lone Wolf Trap – When struggling in her first squadron, Michelle was afraid to ask questions because she thought it would show she didn't belong. "I wouldn't even ask questions because I felt like asking a question was just so uncomfortable." Three Years of Struggling in Silence – Despite performing well in the air, Michelle spent three years "belly crawling, pulling myself by my fingernails" because she felt pressure to represent all women perfectly. The Fresh Start Power – Moving from Japan to Texas gave her a reset: "No one here knows about my divorce. No one here knows all these struggles I've been going through." Sometimes you need a clean slate to rebuild. Curiosity + Vulnerability = Community – The breakthrough came when fellow pilots asked pointed questions beyond platitudes: "How are you actually doing?" Real curiosity that goes deeper than "let me know if you need anything." The Near Head-On Collision Story – Flying inverted at 500 mph, passing within 80 feet of another jet using only eyeballs for distance measurement. When her student pilot aimed straight at her, she had 2.5 seconds to decide whether to move or hold position. Learning from Mistakes, Not Punishing Them – After the near-collision, Michelle chose teaching over berating: "What is the most productive way we can respond to get the most learning from that?" The student learned faster because he found the boundary. The Debrief Culture Framework – Start with objectives, go through segments systematically, ask "why" five times to find root causes, create specific lesson learned, and share with the entire organization so others don't repeat mistakes. Rank Comes Off in Debriefs – Even generals sit in debriefs led by mid-level captains who are the real tactical experts. "Status comes off" - expertise matters more than hierarchy when analyzing performance. The Teaching-Learning Loop – Moving from student (year 1) to instructor (year 2) creates exponential learning: "Your students will teach you more than you probably learned when you were a student." Time Distortion Under Extreme Stress – During the near-collision, Michelle experienced "the craziest temporal distortion" where "time slows down" but "you can't do anything faster than you normally can." Build Competence First, Then Serve Others – Advice for young people: Spend 6-8 years building skills and confidence, then "reach a hand back" to mentor others. Both phases are essential for maximum impact. Quotes: "They endlessly believed in every wild dream I set my sights on." "I learned my vocabulary of profanity expanded greatly... but I also learned I could hang in that environment." "I went into it naively thinking that it didn't matter at all... and it's a little bit different as you get into the military." "There's no fear when you're present. Fear is a future thing." "Curiosity plus vulnerability equals community." "What is the most productive way we can respond at this point to get the most learning from that?" "More learning happens in the debrief than actually does during the flight itself." "The egos that people see in Hollywood around fighter pilots... what they don't show is the humility that has to happen behind the scenes." "It's not self-centered to spend that first six to eight years focused on learning and honing skills." "You get to reach a hand back... and it becomes one of the most fulfilling things for you as well." Life Lessons: Expose Children to Challenging Environments Early – Like Michelle's hunting trips, give kids experience in situations where they're the minority or outsider to build confidence. Support Wild Dreams with Action – Don't just say you believe in someone's goals - invest time and money in giving them exposure to those fields. Ask for Help Before You're Drowning – The biggest mistake is thinking asking questions shows weakness. Everyone expects beginners to have questions. Create Psychological Safety for Mistakes – Focus on learning from errors rather than punishing them. The response to mistakes determines future trust and performance. Build Debrief Culture in Your Organization – Set clear objectives, analyze systematically, find root causes, create specific action items, and share lessons broadly. Use Fresh Starts Strategically – Sometimes changing environments gives you the reset needed to implement new behaviors and shed old baggage. Go Beyond Surface-Level Check-ins – Real community comes from curiosity that goes deeper than "how are you?" Be willing to ask uncomfortable follow-up questions. Practice Temporal Awareness Under Stress – In high-stakes situations, your brain may speed up while time seems to slow down. Prepare for this distortion through practice. Separate Expertise from Hierarchy – The most knowledgeable person should lead analysis sessions, regardless of their position in the org chart. Balance Self-Development with Service – Early career should focus on building competence; mid-career should emphasize mentoring others. Accept That High Performance Requires High Standards – Like the Thunderbirds' 70-foot separation at 500 mph, excellence often means operating with minimal margin for error.

People crave feeling understood, but rarely get it. Here, psychologist Dr. Caroline Fleck breaks down validation science that transforms how we connect!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1198What We Discuss with Dr. Caroline Fleck:Validation goes beyond praise. It's a precise psychological skill set that allows us to communicate mindfulness, understanding, and empathy to make someone feel seen and accepted. To understand the difference, think of praise as applauding the performance, while validation is accepting the performer.Research shows that validation literally allows us to endure greater physical pain, suggesting its resilience-building power to help us cope with life's countless difficulties.Obversely, invalidation shuts down recall and problem-solving abilities by triggering sympathetic nervous system arousal. On the other hand, validation restores higher cognitive functioning needed for reasoning.Validation skills are powerful across contexts — from relationships and parenting to medicine and even interrogations. But keep in mind that authenticity is critical — fake or forced validation doesn't work and can even feel condescending, especially to teens.Validation is a skill you can practice and improve. Nurture a mindset of genuine curiosity by asking yourself "What's this person's point?" Start with small steps like attentive listening, nodding, and reflecting words authentically to build stronger trust and connection.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
