This is our unabridged interview with Kristin Neff. Is high self-esteem crucial to human flourishing, or, rather, a hindrance? “The biggest problem with self-esteem is that it tends to be contingent,” says Kristin Neff. “We only feel good about ourselves when we succeed.” Far too often, high self-esteem breeds narcissism, bullying, and prejudice. Kristin is a professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She's also a prominent expert on the topic of self-compassion, which her research has found to be much more effective than self-esteem in helping people flourish. In this episode, she shares what makes self-compassion different from self-esteem, how to cultivate it, and how it can help us to flourish amidst stress, suffering, and everyday life. We also hear briefly from psychiatrist and author Curt Thompson illuminating the negative neurobiological effects of shame while Kristen explains how self compassion can remedy these effects. Show Notes Resources: Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff Fierce Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff Self-Compassion.org Why Self-Compassion Works Better than Self-Esteem Similar episodes: Tara Brach Judith Moskowitz Alfie Kohn Curt Thompson Want more NSE?

It's one thing for employers to say that they want to help improve employee mental health, but another thing entirely to actually make it happen. Today, I am joined by Tobba Vigfusdottir, CEO and Founder of Kara Connect, a customised mental health and wellbeing platform for employees.  Tobba has an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology from the University of Washington in Seattle and a B.Ed. from the University of Iceland; both focused on cognitive psychology.

Her experience as a local politician brought forward the systemic problems people face in getting the proper support to get better. Tobba established an online speech therapy company before establishing Kara Connect. She sits on the National Theatre board and the Science and Technology board appointed by the Minister of Innovation. Before entrepreneurship, Tobba was an elected city councillor in Reykjavík for 12 years, a political Advisor to the Minister of Education and a project manager for a women's entrepreneurial program. In a wide-ranging interview, Tobba and I discussed these topics: ✅ The role leadership plays in creating a mentally healthy workplace culture. ✅ What Kara Connect does and how it helps organisations improve workplace wellbeing. ✅ The main or most common mental health and wellbeing challenges in workplaces today. ✅ Ineffective ways companies try to address these challenges. ✅ Approaches that actually work when it comes to supporting mental health and creating healthier workplaces. ✅ What has worked well in terms of business growth and getting the word out about Kara Connect. ✅ And much more.

In this timely discussion, Dr. Jennifer Reid listens in as Dr. Megan Moreno, Co-Medical Director for the AAP's Center of Excellence on Social Media and Youth Mental Health, challenges the outdated "addiction" narrative and reveals a transformative framework that empowers both parents and adolescents. Drawing from 15+ years of research at the intersection of technology and teen health, Dr. Moreno offers a refreshingly nuanced roadmap for families navigating the complex digital landscape—where the goal isn't to simply limit screen time, but to foster healthy, balanced relationships with technology in a world where screens are unavoidable.Key Points* Moving Beyond the "Addiction" Framework* Youth have grown weary of the addiction framework for social media use* The term "addiction" makes teens feel powerless* Focus instead on empowering conversations where teens feel they have control* Understanding Problematic Use* Three key aspects of problematic technology use:* Content: Repeatedly seeking harmful or inaccurate content* Crowding Out: When technology displaces important activities (sleep, relationships, schoolwork)* Relationship with Technology: Feeling anxious or unable to disconnect* The "Digital Native" Challenge* Today's adolescents are "digital natives" interacting with screens from a young age* Parents need to model healthy online-offline balance* Self-imposed limits can be effective role modeling* Identity Development Online* Teens use social media as part of identity development* They often "try out" new identities, hobbies, or friendships online* Multiple platforms allow teens to curate different aspects of their identity* Vulnerability Factors* Some teens are more vulnerable to negative effects of social media* Pre-existing mental health conditions can make online experiences more challenging* Strong offline support systems help mitigate negative online experiences* The Five C's Framework for Healthy Media Use* Child: Understanding each child's unique needs and characteristics* Content: Focusing on the quality and type of media being consumed* Calm: Building diverse tools for emotional regulation beyond screens* Crowding Out: Ensuring media doesn't displace essential activities like sleep* Communication: Maintaining open dialogue about technology use* Parental Guidance Approach* Parents can be curious learners alongside their teens* Focus on transferable skills: treating others well, maintaining safety, setting boundaries* Ask questions from a place of curiosity rather than judgmentResources Mentioned* American Academy of Pediatrics Family Media Plan tool (or Google "AAP Family Media Plan")* Common Sense Media for app and game reviews* The five C's framework: Child, Content, Calm, Crowding Out, Communication* American Academy of Pediatrics Center of Excellence on Social Media and Youth Mental HealthGuest: Dr. Megan Moreno - Professor of Pediatrics and Affiliate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; Academic Chief for the Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine; Principal Investigator of the Social Media and Adolescent Health Research Team.

How to craft communication that your audience will remember.Why do some messages stick, while others go in one ear and out the other? When it comes to crafting memorable communication, Ada Aka says not all verbiage is created equal. “Certain words are intrinsically more memorable than others,” says Aka, an assistant professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business. In her research of consumer behavior and decision-making, she's uncovered how language shapes not just our perception of the world, “but how the world stays with us over time." From concrete terms to emotionally charged ones, certain words have more staying power than others, and to communicators who want to capture audiences (and keep them), she says, “Carefully chosen words, they're going to be taking the attention.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Aka joins Matt Abrahams to explore the science of memorable communication. From creating brand slogans that stick to choosing words that align with your message, she reveals how to create communication that won't be forgotten.Episode Reference Links:Ada AkaEp.80 Magic Words: Change What You Say to Inspire and Influence Others Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:05) - The Power of Words in Memory (03:45) - What Makes Words Memorable?

Send us a textAnxiety and ADHD—are they twins or conjoined at the hip? In this episode, we dive deep into the tangled relationship between these two conditions. Our guests, Dr. Deanna Barrett and Dr. Lynn Baldwin, break down why so many ADHD women struggle with anxiety, how it manifests in kids and adults, and what we can actually do about it.We cover: ✅ The chicken-or-egg question: Does ADHD cause anxiety, or is it the other way around? ✅ Why anxiety often goes undiagnosed in ADHD women ✅ The science of anxiety: what's happening in the brain and body ✅ Parenting kids with ADHD & anxiety (and decoding their mysterious “headaches” and tummy aches) ✅ The best strategies for managing anxiety—from mindfulness to cold showers to cognitive behavioral therapy ✅ The roundabout analogy for understanding anxiety (this one's a game changer!)If anxiety has been your constant companion, this episode will help you make sense of it—and more importantly, find ways to work with your brain, not against it.Resources Mentioned:

Ed Opperman's guest today is Lynn Crook. False memory syndrome is a go-to diagnosis for memories which, when recovered, seem to have no corroborating evidence. There's a whole world of research into False Memory Syndrome, the causes and effects of ‘remembering' things which never happened. But the syndrome has also become a useful tool in discrediting those whose recollections are clear enough, yet lack substantive evidence.From Her Amazon;When states allowed adults who were molested as children to sue for damages, accused parents went on the offense. The parents claimed the accusations were false memories implanted by therapists. The parents established a non-profit and invested millions in a PR campaign to promote themselves as falsely accused, and to dismiss crimes committed against children as false memories. As evidence, they offered the story of an older brother who convinced his younger brother he was lost at a mall. The false memory story went viral. The popular press and psychology textbooks failed to challenge false memory claims. Individuals who challenged false memories were silenced. The author explains how her successful lawsuit against her parents helped her uncover the rest of the false memory story.Lynn Crook, M.Ed., has a Master's Degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Washington (1970). Lynn was herself a therapist when she recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse. Lynn Crook, MEd, successfully sued her parents for damages in 1994, based on a corroborated claim of childhood sexual abuse.Book: False Memories - The Deception That Silenced MillionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The writing process comes with internal resistance, even for strong writers.Most people who say they enjoy writing don't enjoy the entire process; particularly the “getting started” part. This is why writing is a common challenge when executive functioning is impacted. Layer on issues with background knowledge, language, and decoding, and it becomes even more complex. Kids need support with the “puzzle pieces” that fit together to support writing. Things like vocabulary, syntax, the ability to decode words, and the ability to spell. But while we're working on these foundational skills, we also need to make sure kids get support with the “glue” that holds them together. This is where self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) can be really powerful. SRSD is a metacognitive strategy designed to help students with the planning and execution of challenging academic tasks like writing. That's why I invited Dr. Nelly Kaakaty to episode 192 of the De Facto Leaders podcast to talk about her research and work in the field with SRSD and supporting students with learning differences.Dr. Nelly Kaakaty is an educational therapist and psychology professor dedicated to creating a more accessible world, one classroom at a time. She has spent the last 12 years as a teacher, learning specialist, and researcher, designing academic programs to support all types of learners. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Child Learning and Development from the University of Texas at Dallas, a Master's degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University-Commerce, and a doctorate in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Special Education from A&M-Commerce. Her current work is twofold: she is learning specialist at an independent school, where she provides academic support to high school students, and she is a professor at a community college, where she teaches courses in psychology.In this conversation, we discuss:✅Why so many writing challenges are tied to executive functioning.✅The power of micro-commitments and working through the struggle.✅Scaffolding, fading prompts, and giving “just enough” support.✅“We start writing before we start writing” and why starting with 5 minutes is okay.✅Self-talk is for strategy and self-image: We need to model and explicitly teach both.You can connect with Dr. K on Instagram @learningwithdrk, or on her website here: https://learningwithdrk.com/?ref=collabs.ioLearn about the resources she offers on her Amazon page here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/learningwithdr.k?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsflearningwithdr.k_BMWF4ZEERV80HH7SES3BConnect with her on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nellykaakaty/?ref=collabs.ioIn this episode, I mentioned the following resources:Think SRSD : https://thinksrsd.com/IRIS Center: SRSD Resources : https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/module/srs/EP 130: Using private practice to offer accessible services and advocate for your profession (with Ebony Green) : https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-162-the-summer-slide-real-phenomenon-or-invented-by-tutoring-companies-with-david-schipper/EP 176: Building the language skills for reading, writing, and spelling (with Dr. Jan Wasowicz): https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-176-building-the-language-skills-for-reading-writing-and-spelling-with-dr-jan-wasowicz/“Explicit Instruction: Effective and Efficient Teaching” by Anita L.

Today, I'm re-sharing my conversation from 2023 with Dr. Kristen Neff on the power of self-compassion. Particularly during stressful and heavy times, self-compassion is such an important concept to practice - it provides relief to those of us who feel like we're going through it alone, and it also helps us feel validated and seen - which is so much of what we're really looking for.    I hope this conversation is helpful, wherever you're at and whatever you're going through. We're all in this together.    Dr. Kristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion almost twenty years ago. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself.  In June 2021, she published ​Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive​, which is a must-read for all women.   Visit Dr. Kristin Neff's website (selfcompassion.org) Follow Dr. Kristin Neff on Instagram  Follow Dr. Kristin Neff on Facebook Follow Dr. Kristin Neff on Twitter Get a copy of her most recent book: Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive​ And her book: Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

As senior leaders, it's critical that we proactively address disability inclusion in our organizations. People with disabilities make up over 25% of the population - and that number is even higher among younger demographics. By creating more accessible, disability-friendly workplaces, we can unlock a wealth of talent and perspectives that will give our companies a competitive edge. However, building true inclusive disability leadership goes beyond just checking boxes for legal compliance or basic accommodations. To truly empower employees with disabilities, we need a holistic shift in mindset and culture - led from the top down. In a powerful interview, disability inclusion expert Stephanie Cawthon shared key insights and actionable strategies that senior leaders can implement. Dr. Stephanie Cawthon Inclusive Disability Expert Dr. Stephanie Cawton is an internationally renowned scholar whose work centers on a powerful premise: when we embrace accessibility, we create environments where disabled people can truly thrive. As a tenured Professor of Educational Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Cawton has secured over $50 million in federal and other research grants for her groundbreaking work. In 2023, she founded the National Disability Center for Student Success at UT Austin, further advancing her mission to transform educational opportunities for disabled students. Her expertise is deeply informed by personal experience. Born with hearing loss and living with several mental health and physical disabilities that significantly impact her daily life, which brings both professional insight and lived understanding to her roles as researcher, author, and consultant. Here Are The Top Takeaways on Inclusive Disability Workplaces: 1. Accessibility is a Shared Responsibility Accessibility isn't just about individual accommodations - it's about designing environments, communications, and processes that work for everyone. This includes providing materials in advance, using technology like captioning and alt text, and being mindful of ableist language.  Accessibility is not a to-do list. It's a to-be list. Who are you? Who do you want to be? How do you interact with your people? How do you interact in the community with others? How do you demonstrate that disabilities are okay, that they're valued, and that that it's just a part of the human experience." The responsibility falls on all of us - not just the employee with a disability. As leaders, we must model inclusive behaviors and create a culture where accessibility is simply the norm.   2. Shift Mindsets, Not Just Checklists Many organizations treat disability inclusion as a box to check, rather than a foundational part of their culture. But true inclusive disability leadership requires a mindset shift - moving away from ableist assumptions and toward an appreciation of the unique talents and perspectives that people with disabilities bring. "Often, if you feel that vibe that someone's going to look down on you or patronize you, you're not going to disclose. And thus, you Yack that connection with the people in that space because you don't feel like you can disclose." As leaders, we must be transparent about valuing disability, provide structured learning opportunities, and lead by example through our language and behaviors. It's not enough to simply have the right policies in place - we must foster a culture where disability is seen as a normal part of the human experience. 3. Empower Employees to Self-Advocate While it's our responsibility as leaders to build an inclusive environment, we must also empower employees with disabilities to advocate for their own needs. This starts with creating safe spaces for open communication and providing clear guidance on available resources and accommodations. "It's both the disabled person knowing what they need and articulating that well, but then also everyone else,
