Transitions are inevitable. Whether it's becoming a parent, shifting careers, retiring, or simply navigating unexpected change. But why do transitions feel so unsettling, and how can we meet them with more self-compassion and patience?In this episode of Grow the Good, I sit down with my friend and fellow MAPP grad, Ilene Schaffer, to explore the psychology of transitions. With more than 25 years of experience in counseling psychology, Ilene shares her wisdom on navigating endings, sitting with uncertainty in the “neutral zone,” and creating intentional new beginnings.We talk about what it means to let go of old identities, how to clarify your non-negotiables, and why patience and self-compassion are the keys to moving through life's changes with resilience.Top 5 Takeaways:Self-compassion is essential in transitions, whether the change is chosen or not.The “neutral zone” between endings and beginnings is where reflection and growth take place.Defining non-negotiables helps guide decisions during uncertain times.Patience is vital; most transitions take 6–9 months to fully adjust.Fulfillment isn't about balance, it's about intentional choices aligned with your values.Tune in to learn more from Ilene, and hopefully, approach your next transition with a little bit more ease. --------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

On this special crossover episode of Grow the Good, I'm resharing a  conversation with Travis Macy from The Travis Macy Show. - - - - - - - The Travis Macy ShowEp. 195. Perfectionism, Purpose, and Letting Go with Sonya LooneyWhat does it really mean to accomplish something and why doesn't it always feel the way we think it should?This week, I'm joined by my good friend, longtime pro mountain biker, and mindset coach Sonya Looney for a deep and honest conversation about something a lot of us wrestle with, perfectionism.Sonya and I dive into what it means to strive with purpose, how to redefine accomplishment through contribution instead of comparison, and why feeling like we matter isn't always about metrics. We also talk about big transitions, like Sonya's move from full-time bike racing to trail running and mental performance coaching—and the freedom (and fear) that comes with letting go of old identities.If you've ever been stuck chasing numbers, doubting your worth, or wondering if it's okay to want something new, I think you'll find a lot to chew on here. Sonya brings her usual clarity, research-backed wisdom, and vulnerability to the table and I'm always grateful to learn from her!--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

Validation is more than just nodding along. It's the foundation of healthy communication, trust, and connection. And for today's guest, it could change the world as we know it. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Caroline Fleck, licensed psychologist, corporate consultant, and author of Validation: How the Skill Set That Revolutionized Psychology Will Transform Your Relationships, Increase Your Influence, and Change Your Life. Her work has been translated into nine languages and has been featured in The New York Times, Good Morning America, and more.We find out why validation is the key to making people feel truly seen and understood, how to avoid the trap of invalidation, and why self-validation is just as important as validating others. You'll also hear about Caroline's “Validation Ladder,” a simple, actionable framework you can use to strengthen your relationships, improve your influence, and even boost your own mental health.Top 5 Takeaways:Validation Builds Connection: It's about acceptance, not agreement, and it's essential for building trust.Self-Validation Fuels Resilience: Being kind to yourself and acknowledging your feelings can help you model healthy behavior for others.The Validation Ladder: Caroline's step-by-step framework teaches mindfulness, understanding, and empathy as skills you can practice daily.Avoiding Invalidation: Dismissing or minimizing feelings can harm relationships and mental health.Validation vs. Praise: Learn why genuine, non-judgmental acceptance is far more powerful than approval or flattery.If you want to become a better communicator, a stronger leader, or simply deepen your personal relationships, this conversation is packed with practical tools to help you get there.LINKSDr. Caroline Fleck's book about validationMeaningful Work with Tamara Myles and Wes AdamsThe Mattering Mindset on The Mental Training Lab--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

Have you ever achieved a big goal, only to feel something was missing afterward? Or wondered why no amount of external validation ever seems quite enough? Today, I'm excited to reshare a meaningful conversation from the Mental Training Lab podcast, where I sat down with sport and performance psychology expert Pete Kadushin to talk about the powerful concept of “mattering.”If you are a regular listener, you know how this message has impacted me: how shifting from perfectionistic, outcome-driven mindsets toward purposeful action and intrinsic motivation can transform not just your performance but also your entire approach to life. We discuss why feeling valued and adding value to others is far more fulfilling than chasing external accolades, how to recognize and use your character strengths to foster deeper connections, and practical strategies for cultivating lasting resilience and well-being.Here is what you'll learn:The power of matteringOvercoming perfectionismLeveraging character strengthsThe importance of recognition and communicationSavoring and gratitude practices LINKS:- Listen to The Mental Training Lab with Pete Kadushin- Finding Meaning and Mattering at Work with Andrew Soren- Insights from IPAA Brisbane 2025--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

What does it really mean to live a rich life? Today's guest, Dr. Shige Oishi, challenges what we usually think of happiness and meaning by introducing us to the concept of a "psychologically rich life."A psychologically rich life is about collecting diverse and transformative experiences that shift our perspectives and expand our minds, rather than just chasing positive feelings or a singular sense of purpose. Social psychologist and author of the new book, Life in Three Dimensions, Dr. Oishi shares why seeking variety, spontaneity, and novel experiences can profoundly enhance our growth, resilience, and overall fulfillment.You'll learn:- Why chasing happiness alone can set you up for disappointment—and what to pursue instead.- How psychological richness enhances well-being through diversity and depth of experience.- Practical strategies to incorporate more richness into your daily life and why spontaneity is key- The role fiction and storytelling play in expanding your emotional and cognitive horizons- How reframing setbacks as opportunities for interesting experiences fosters resilience.--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

But when Gilbert coaxes a confession out of Jeremy, the State of Florida refuses to believe him.

In this case: the ubiquitous electric gun carried by cops everywhere and inspiring comedic shenanigans in movies like The Hangover. Host and documentarian Nick Berardini has been obsessed with this story for his entire adult life. With Absolute, Season 1: Taser Incorporated, he left no stone unturned. Taser, Inc., now known as Axon, the 800-pound gorilla in the paramilitary police equipment industry, is led by its charismatic CEO and co-founder, Rick Smith.

But as stories of alleged misuse, deaths, and serious injuries from Tasers begin to emerge, Taser, Inc. and Rick arrive at a crossroads between Rick’s vision and reality, with cops and the citizens they are sworn to serve and protect paying the price.

Now, in an unlikely and unexpected moment—these two men, connected by Michelle Schofield’s murder, speak at last, their conversation heavy with the weight of the past.Leo offers something unexpected: forgiveness and gratitude. And Jeremy responds with something he’s never truly given before: an apology. As Gilbert brings Justin the answers he’s been looking for, Justin feels a weight lift.
