Join me as I sit down with Kelli Thompson, a dynamic keynote speaker and women's leadership coach, to discuss her latest book, Closing the Confidence Gap. This episode promises to equip you with strategies for overcoming societal "shoulds" and identifying the barriers that hinder your confidence, especially for women balancing an unpaid workload alongside professional responsibilities. Together, we unpack the intricacies of people-pleasing tendencies in leadership and the pitfalls of overcommitment and perfectionism.

Explore the powerful intersection of empathy, confidence, and negotiation as we navigate the art of salary discussions. Kelli and I discuss the importance of self-compassion as a means to bolster confidence and overcome internal doubts. Kelli also shares actionable advice on identifying personal and organizational values and how operationalizing these values creates an engaging work environment.

Does free will exist on a sliding scale? Will humans and AI co-evolve? Are aliens already here on earth? These are just a few of the many mind-bending questions Rufus and Sara Walker, author of “Life as No One Knows It,” explore in the second half of their conversation. 1️⃣ If you missed the first half of Sara's interview, you can find it here

We've had many bracing thinkers on this show, but Sara Walker might take the cake.

Others are little-knowns (cheesemakers, storm chasers, typewriter repairmen). But all of them, in Ann's words, “have enhanced the world by their existence.” Her obituaries are celebrations of life, and Ann is a soul-catcher — souls, for her, being the best word for the “unique and essential part of ourselves, our self-conscious and transcendent core.” It's a job that requires empathy, patience, almost tactile curiosity, and, well, love. It's a job from which we can all learn a great deal.

Philosophers have long maintained that the Good Life is braided from two strands: pleasure and purpose. But Middlebury's Lorraine Besser says there's a third: psychological richness — or, as she calls it, The Interesting. Exciting experiences, she contends, captivate our minds, engage our thoughts and emotions, and often change our perspective. Today, she'll teach you how to find them.

Why do we get stuck in life and how do trauma and our mental health narratives play into that? In this thought-provoking conversation with neuropsychotherapist, Britt Frank, we explore the nuances of trauma, mental health labels, and the personal responsibility often overlooked in modern therapeutic discussions. Britt shares insights from her own experiences, diving deep into how trauma is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, and how this affects our ability to heal and grow. Together we challenge the popular notion of trauma as an all-encompassing explanation for struggle and instead encourage an approach that blends empathy with accountability. From societal trends to gender identity, we tackle tough topics, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in navigating the complexities of human behavior and finding greater personal agency. Britt Frank, LSCSW, SEP is a licensed neuropsychotherapist and author of The Science of Stuck (Penguin Random House), named by SHRM, Esquire, New York Magazine, and The Next Big Idea Club as a must-read. Britt received her undergraduate degree from Duke University and her master's degree from the University of Kansas, where she later became an award-winning adjunct instructor. Britt is a contributing writer to Psychology Today and her work has been featured in Forbes, NPR, The New York Times, Fast Company, Psych Central, SELF, and Thrive Global. —Britt's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brittfrank/  —Britt's Website: https://www.scienceofstuck.com/  —Britt's Book: https://www.scienceofstuck.com/book  —Britt's Previous Podcast Episode: You're Not Broken, You're Just Stuck: https://markgroves.com/episode/youre-not-broken-youre-just-stuck-with-britt-frank/  Resources From the Episode: —Still Face Experiment: https://youtu.be/vmE3NfB_HhE?si=QivHWP9_jREexK3s&t=34  —Greg Lukianoff's Book: The Canceling of the American Mind: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust and Threatens Us All―But There Is a Solution: https://amzn.to/3XDayrT —Sarah Baldwin Podcast Episodes: How to Somatically Rewire Your Past to Create Secure Attachment with Sarah Baldwin: https://markgroves.com/episode/how-to-somatically-rewire-your-past-to-create-secure-attachment-with-sarah-baldwin/  The Attachment Theory & Nervous System Connection with Sarah Baldwin: https://markgroves.com/episode/the-attachment-theory-nervous-system-connection-with-sarah-baldwin/  The Nervous System Explained with Sarah Baldwin: https://markgroves.com/episode/the-nervous-system-explained-with-sarah-baldwin/  If you want to dive deeper into Mark's content, search through every episode, find specific topics we've covered, and ask him questions, go to his Dexa page: https://dexa.ai/markgroves Themes: Trauma Healing, Mental Health Awareness, Britt Frank Interview, The Science of Stuck, Trauma vs Pathology, Overcoming Trauma, Personal Accountability in Therapy, Mental Health Labels, Gender Identity and Mental Health, Neuropsychotherapy Insights, Healing Childhood Trauma, Social Media and Mental Health, Trauma and Responsibility, Emotional Healing Journey, Navigating Gender Dysphoria, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Personal Growth Strategies, Breaking Free from Trauma, Healing and Accountability, Curiosity and Personal Growth This episode is sponsored by: —Cozy Earth: Use code GROVES for 40% off sitewide at http://www.cozyearth.com —Qualia Life: Use code MARKGROVES to save 15% at https://qualialife.com/markgroves  Contact us at podcast@markgroves.com for sponsor product support, questions, comments, or just to say hello!
