Today we're wrapping up our special series on the intersection of positive psychology and travel, and we're doing it with one of the most inspiring voices in the field. James Pawelski is the Director of Education at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. He's also a philosopher, Fulbright Scholar, and the founding director of the Humanities and Human Flourishing Project, which explores how art, music, literature, and sacred experiences can help us live more vibrant and meaningful lives. James and I first connected through my studies at Penn, where he opened my eyes to the power of the humanities—not as subjects to study in school, but as practices that help us become more whole. In this episode, we talk about why humans have always turned to art and story, how awe and sacred moments can transform us, and why travel is such a powerful gateway to beauty, meaning, and wonder. If you've ever stood before a masterpiece, heard a piece of music that gave you chills, or felt something shift inside you while traveling, this conversation is for you. Sit back, relax, and let's explore how the humanities—and your next adventure—might just add more happiness to your life. Thank you to our sponsor for this episode, Luggage Forward.

In this episode of Breakaway Wealth Podcast, Jim sits down with Jill Schulman—US Marine veteran and positive psychology expert—to break down the science of bravery and why action - not motivation - moves outcomes. They map a practical path to confront fear, build daily reps, and apply courage to business and money decisions. 3 Key Takeaways: Bravery reframed: not heroics, but voluntary action in the presence of fear toward a worthwhile goal; most modern fear is social (failure, rejection, embarrassment), amplified by a comfort-first culture. Action over fear: use graded exposure and “mastery experiences” (Bandura) to build self-efficacy; schedule the hard task early, track behaviors not outcomes, and let consistency—not motivation—carry the work. Environment and systems: build a “brave tribe” to leverage conformity effects; apply PERMA (Positive emotion, Engagement/flow, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment) to raise performance; treat early failures as required feedback on the way to results. Thanks to Jill for outlining a clear model for building bravery and putting it to work! If this episode moved you to act, take one small step today and track it.

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Send one way text to Rev Rachel This week, I'm sharing something special with the whole Recover Your Soul community — an episode that originally aired on the Bonus Podcast back in June. The Bonus Podcast is where we take a deeper dive into Soul Recovery, with spiritual book studies, guest conversations, and real-life reflections inspired by Al-Anon, metaphysics, and the healing journey within. If you've never tuned in, I wanted you to experience the richness of these episodes for yourself — and if you love it, you can join us as a free or paid member on Patreon, or as an Apple Podcast subscriber, where there are over 200 bonus episodes waiting for you.In this episode, we explore “Love and Surrender” — a powerful Al-Anon reading that speaks to the moment we finally release the day-to-day pain and guilt of trying to fix someone else's life. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we talk about letting go of the illusion of control, setting healthy boundaries, and choosing our own healing over managing another person's journey. Whether it's with a child, spouse, or someone else you love, this is about opening our hearts to unconditional love — the kind that allows others to have their own experiences, while we stay grounded in our own spiritual connection and well-being.This is the work of Soul Recovery: moving from enmeshment and exhaustion into compassion, clarity, and freedom. I hope you'll listen, let it sink in, and fThe Soul Recovery FREE Zoom Support Group will meet on September 8th due to Labor Day, and there is still time to register for the upcoming in-person retreat in Asheville NC September 13-14th.

Love addiction is a set of symptoms most often associated with romantic relationships. But these symptoms can also show up in our relationship with work, which might look like this: seeking unconditional positive regard (ie earning validation and worthiness from the work we're doing, the company that employs us, the person who manages us), while we overvalue this company or person (and undervalue ourselves and the contribution we are making at work), all while self-neglecting as we overfunction in order to get that external validation. And all of this leads to exhaustion, health issues, and ultimately burnout. In this episode, Jodi talks with burnout and productivity specialist, Tamu Thomas, author of Women Who Work Too Much, about toxic productivity, ambition and the cultural conditioning that shapes us. Tamu shares her personal experience with overfunctioning and how this led to a necessary life change; and why women often end up being the "selfless caretakers", how this leads us into a cycle of toxic productivity, and how we can change that...plus much more!

Is listening a hidden superpower we've overlooked? You've heard of Active Listening, but what is Radical Listening and why does it matter?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm joined by Professor Christian van Nieuwerburgh, an academic who also describes himself as 'Coach on a Motorcycle'. He's on the show to help me explore what he calls 'Radical Listening'.Christian is Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology at the University of East London and the co-author, with Dr Robert Biswas-Diener, of 'Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection'.The book offers a research-backed but deeply human exploration of what it means to really hear someone — and how that act alone can change lives. In the book and in his work, Christian blends academic rigour with road-tested coaching insights, drawing from both the lecture hall and long rides through open landscapes. He invites us to look at listening not just as a skill, but as a way of being.With a background in positive psychology and a passion for connection, Christian brings a perspective that's as practical as it is profound. We talk about how listening — when done with presence and intention — becomes far more than a communication technique. It becomes a way of affirming identity, offering empathy, and shaping culture. Christian shares why well-meaning advice often misses the mark, the difference between social and cognitive listening, and what it takes to be with someone, rather than just hearing them.This isn't just for leaders or coaches; it's for anyone who wants to have better conversations, create stronger relationships, and be more human in how they engage with others. Listening, as we discuss, isn't neutral. It's powerful, personal, and radically transformative.Guest BiographyProfessor Christian van Nieuwerburgh is a globally recognised executive coach, academic, and author, holding the title of Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology at the University of East London.As Managing Director of the International Centre for Coaching Psychology and Executive Director at Growth Coaching International, he bridges rigorous research with practice.He co-authored Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection (with Dr Robert Biswas‑Diener), which reorients listening from a background skill to a central act of human connection.Famously known as the “Coach on a Motorcycle,” Christian combines his love for the open road with his dedication to how we hear and are heard.

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this week's episode, I sit with a heartfelt question from our community—how do we hold someone accountable without slipping into control and codependence?—and we look honestly at what true support really is, including whether asking a spouse to “prove” sobriety crosses a line; from a Soul Recovery perspective, we remember that we are powerless over other people and powerful within ourselves, so instead of policing or shaming, we practice loving detachment, clear boundaries, and compassionate curiosity—asking, “What would truly support you?” while staying anchored in our own healing. The hard truth is we cannot make anyone recover, and when we try to manage their journey it often comes from our own fear and wounds—which means it's an invitation back to our inner work. This episode begins a new two-part experiment, and on Friday's Bonus podcast by subscription, I'll take you deeper, applying the 9-Step Soul Recovery Process to dig deeper in the 'how to' on this topic.Listen to the Bonus Friday Podcast as an Apple Podcast subscriber or for FREE the first week as a Free Patreon Member- this is a great way to support the Recover Your Soul Community AND get accessWant to join the Recovery Your Soul community?

Fishing Without Bait—hosted by Jim Ellermeyer—continues our conversation (Part 3) with TEDx speaker and best‑selling author Nick Jonsson (Executive Loneliness). We unpack executive mental health, burnout, and recovery as Nick describes moving from “I have to” to “I choose,” owning financial insecurities, confronting toxic masculinity, and evolving from command‑and‑control leadership to an identity grounded in values rather than titles or status. Jim and Nick explore 12‑step spirituality versus religion, daily prayer in sobriety, and how service informed Nick's men's community Limitless after supporting Singapore's SOS Samaritans—offering a safe space that can interrupt isolation and suicide risk. Nick also shares professional growth—studying psychotherapy and counseling at the School of Positive Psychology and leading leadership workshops in the Maldives—plus practical coaching for busy executives with flexible scheduling and a whole‑life Wheel of Life approach. His book Executive Loneliness is available on Amazon and Audible; learn more at www.nickjonsson.com. Topics: vulnerability in leadership, amends and family healing, community support for men, suicide prevention, mindfulness, and choosing authenticity at work and at home.

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Send one way text to Rev Rachel So many of us have spent our lives trying to earn love, approval, and belonging by shape-shifting into what we think others need us to be. We become people-pleasers, fixers, and emotional caretakers—losing ourselves in the process. In this episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, we explore what it really means to break free from codependency and control, and how the Soul Recovery process helps us come back to our true, authentic selves. You'll learn how to recognize the subtle ways we abandon ourselves in an attempt to be accepted, and how releasing these old patterns allows for deeper peace, healthier boundaries, and more fulfilling relationships. This isn't about cutting people off or rejecting connection—it's about reclaiming your energy, staying in your body, and honoring your own truth without needing to fix or manage anyone else. Soul Recovery teaches us that healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you already are. If you're ready to stop shape-shifting and start showing up as the real you, this episode offers encouragement, tools, and a path toward spiritual freedom.Want to join the Recovery Your Soul community?

Are you constantly chasing perfection, or are you truly celebrating progress? In this insightful episode of the Leadership Sandbox podcast, Tammy J. Bond challenges leaders to shift their focus from the dreaded "gap" of what hasn't been accomplished to the powerful "gain" of what has. Tammy passionately advocates for a gain-driven mindset, urging leaders to move beyond self-sabotage by acknowledging every step forward, learning from failures, and fostering a truly positive team environment. Discover how conducting a "gain audit" can transform your perspective, enhance motivation, and significantly boost team performance. This conversation highlights the profound impact of measuring progress on team dynamics and underscores why leadership is about owning your journey – celebrating every piece of traction, not just the final win. Stop punishing yourself with unmet goals and start cultivating a culture of acknowledgment and growth! Key Takeaways for Leaders: Progress Over Perfection: Shift your focus from measuring what you haven't accomplished (the "gap") to celebrating what you have achieved (the "gain"). The "Gap" Treadmill: Understand that "living in the gap" is counterproductive, leading to self-sabotage and hindering motivation. Perspective is Power: Recognize that true progress is found in perspective, not the unattainable pursuit of perfection. Celebrate Traction: Learn to celebrate every piece of traction and small win, not just major successes, to build continuous momentum. Conduct a Gain Audit: Implement a gain audit with your team to intentionally review accomplishments and foster a positive, appreciative environment. Lead by Example: Be aware that your team watches how you measure success – model a gain-driven mindset. Learn from Failures: Embrace acknowledging failures as valuable learning opportunities, rather than reasons for self-punishment. Shift Negative Mindsets: Actively work to shift negative mindsets within yourself and your team towards recognizing opportunities and strengths. Own Your Journey: Embrace the reality that leadership is about owning your journey, acknowledging every step of growth and learning. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How to apply a gain-driven mindset to enhance motivation and combat self-sabotage. Practical steps for conducting a gain audit with your team to improve team performance and morale. The critical role of perspective and emotional intelligence in effective goal setting and leadership. Why celebrating progress, even small achievements, impacts team dynamics and overall organizational health. Strategies to move from a focus on shortcomings to one of strength and growth. Chapters: 00:00 Measuring Progress vs. Self-Punishment: Tammy introduces the core concept of shifting from self-criticism to celebrating progress. 05:11 Conducting a Gain Audit: Practical guidance on how to implement a gain audit with your team for tangible results.

Any takeaways from this episode?Welcome to Rom-Com Rescue—where we break down the best (and most questionable) love lessons from your favorite romantic comedies.Our 80s Series (Big Hair, Bigger Feelings) continues and this week, we're diving into the sweaty, sultry, dance-heavy world of Dirty Dancing (1987), starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. It's adult summer camp meets coming-of-age meets… wait, is this even a rom-com?In this no-holds-barred episode, Dr. Izzy (Team Nostalgia) and Kira (Team Harsh Truths) debate:Was this true love or just Baby's first crush/sexual awakening?Is Johnny Castle actually romantic—or just emotionally dysregulated?What's the real takeaway from the abortion subplot, class dynamics, and power imbalances?And does grinding in the woods count as character development?Expect giggles, gasps, and group therapy vibes as we talk sexual awakenings, bad boy tropes, and whether this iconic film deserves all the love it still gets.
In this conversation, KnowledgeWorkx founder Marco Blankenburgh interviews Roberta Saffels—Brazilian-American psychologist, 25-year expat, and positive-leadership consultant based in Doha, Qatar. Roberta explains how Positive Psychology shifts focus from “fixing what's wrong” to enabling people and organisations to flourish—from zero to plus ten. She describes Positive Leadership's practice of spotlighting strengths first, then “calibrating” over-used talents rather than patching weaknesses.The dialogue explores why wellbeing at work is tightly linked to the quality of a leader's relationships, and how Inter-Cultural Intelligence (ICI) provides the missing language for navigating honour-shame dynamics, collective agency, and communication styles in the Gulf region. Marco and Roberta share real-world stories—from Qatari start-ups to global NGOs—showing how an appreciative, culturally agile approach unlocks engagement and performance.Roberta also previews her upcoming Positive Leadership Academy, a 12-week formation journey blending cultural intelligence, emotional intelligence, and an AI “nudge coach” to embed new habits.Listen in to discover practical ways to shift your leadership from problem-solving to possibility-finding—and help your team thrive across cultures.In this podcast you will learn:How Positive Psychology moves leaders beyond “removing distress” to creating flourishing, high-engagement cultures.Why spotlighting existing strengths shifts the whole organisation's performance more effectively than fixing weaknesses.How Inter-Cultural Intelligence helps leaders navigate honour-shame dynamics, collective agency, and communication styles in the Gulf region.Practical ways to balance credibility and collaboration—priming conversations so teams contribute without leaders losing face.The vision behind the new 12-week Positive Leadership Academy and how its AI “nudge coach” embeds lasting behaviour change.Learn more about Roberta's work here: https://robertasaffels.com/Additional suggested reading:How to increase your effectiveness as a global leader Introducing the Three Colors of Worldview Introducing the 12 Dimensions of Culture -- Looking for a book to take your cultural agility to the next step, check out the Ultimate Intercultural Question Book brought to you by KnowledgeWorkx.com

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or completely drained from trying to hold everything, and everyone together I get it, I was once there too. The truth is, constantly fixing, managing, and rescuing those around us doesn't bring peace... it creates more suffering. In this episode, I share what I've learned on my own Soul Recovery path about how the compulsion to help and control stems from old patterns, and how letting go has been the greatest act of love—not just for myself, but for those I care about.We dive into the deeper truth that your healing begins the moment you stop turning your energy outward and begin focusing inward. We explore what it means to detach with love, to let others walk their own journey, and to reclaim your energy for your own transformation.Soul Recovery isn't about abandoning others—it's about releasing the illusion that their healing is your responsibility. It's about becoming a compassionate presence without losing yourself.You don't have to fix everything. You don't have to hold it all together. Come back to your center. Heal yourself. That is the most powerful gift you can offer the world.Want to join the Recovery Your Soul community? Join the FREE Soul Recovery Support Group the 1st Monday of every month from 6-7PM Mountain Time.

A former teacher, coach, and consultant, Sarah brings deep expertise in psychology and education to her mission of creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and unashamed.

Through coaching and training, she opens up vital conversations that empower people to thrive without alcohol.Sarah holds an MSc in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, with research centred on the lack of shame-awareness in education systems. Her work is rooted in the belief that shame resilience is a foundational skill—not just for students and teachers, but for anyone navigating life, especially those choosing to live alcohol-free.

Welcome back to the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we empower women to rise through fitness, faith, and fierce resilience. In today's episode, we're unpacking a topic that lies at the root of so many struggles—worthiness. Our guest, Diane Lang, is a nationally recognized therapist, author, educator, and expert in Positive Psychology. With over 25 years of experience in counseling and teaching, Diane has helped thousands of women transform their mindset, let go of perfectionism, and reclaim their sense of self. Her newest book, Worthy, takes a powerful look at the hidden causes of unworthiness and how it often manifests through control, burnout, and the belief that we have to “earn” our value. If you've ever struggled with feeling not good enough—this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and ready to own your worth.
In this episode of the Productivity Smarts Podcast, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Sebastien Page, bestselling author of The Psychology of Leadership, to explore how sports psychology, mindset, and positive habits can elevate leadership and productivity. Together, they unpack powerful concepts like the PERMA model from positive psychology, the Yerkes-Dodson curve on optimal stress levels, and the importance of core beliefs in shaping our perception and performance. Sebastien shares how conversations create brain chemistry that either enhances connection or sparks stress, and how communication and flow are critical to effective teamwork. They also examine the surprising science behind social synchronization, strategic patience in decision-making, and how reframing stress can lead to peak performance. Through personal stories and practical insights, Sebastien reveals why leadership is more about managing mindset than chasing perfection, and how athletes and leaders alike thrive not by avoiding pressure, but by harnessing it. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, or team leader, this episode offers science-backed strategies and real-world advice for performing at your best.

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Send one way text to Rev Rachel When someone you love is struggling—emotionally, mentally, or through addiction—it's natural to want to help, to fix, to make things better. But what happens when trying to save them begins to cost you your own peace? This episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast explores the powerful Soul Recovery principle of detaching without abandoning yourself. Being okay when others aren't doesn't mean disconnecting from compassion or ignoring reality—it means turning inward, releasing control, and choosing to care for your own well-being first. The Soul Recovery Process invites us to see “what is” with clarity and neutrality, to stop trying to shape reality into what we wish it could be, and to instead respond from a place of inner strength and spiritual alignment. This episode offers support for anyone caught in the tension of love and suffering, with guidance on how to recognize your own needs, trust your emotions as sacred messengers, and make decisions that honor your wholeness. Through Soul Recovery, you can begin to release old patterns of codependence, reconnect with your Higher Self, and remember that your healing is not only possible—it's the most loving choice you can make, for everyone involved.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

Have you ever felt awkward accepting a compliment or unsure how to show genuine appreciation to someone on your team without it feeling forced? In busy school environments, appreciation often gets reduced to coffee carts and morning teas. While well-intentioned, these gestures don’t always land in the way we hope. Many educators still walk away feeling unseen, undervalued, or even uncomfortable with recognition. So what gives? In this episode, I chat with Daniela Falecki, an international speaker, coach, and founder of Teacher Wellbeing, to unpack what she calls The Appreciation Paradox. Drawing on decades of experience in education and the fields of Positive and Coaching Psychology, Daniela shares why meaningful appreciation is a wellbeing essential, not a fluffy extra. Together, we explore how schools can move beyond performative gestures to create a culture where staff feel truly seen, valued and motivated to keep showing up with heart. In this episode, we cover: The concept of the Appreciation Paradox and why educators deeply crave appreciation but often struggle to receive it or recognise it Why typical “rewards” like coffee carts or morning teas often miss the mark when it comes to meaningful appreciation The importance of having deeper, more personalised conversations about what appreciation looks and feels like for individuals The difference between recognition and appreciation, and why both are necessary in schools How appreciation ties into burnout prevention, workplace connection and motivation Common cultural barriers in schools that make appreciation feel like “lip service” or inauthentic Why vulnerability matters in leadership, and how to model it in a professional way How appreciation preferences differ, drawing on “The Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace” The importance of coaching-style leadership and better questioning to create deeper, more human conversations About Daniela Daniela Falecki, founder of Teacher Wellbeing, is an international speaker, author, and the “keep-it-real” teacher, known for her high-energy, engaging presentations that leave audiences laughing and thinking. With over 25 years of experience in Australian schools and a background in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, Daniela empowers educators globally to enhance their wellbeing. She holds a Master’s in Education (Leadership) and has lectured at the University of Sydney, where she was named Lecturer of the Year in 2014. A licensed Mental Toughness practitioner and Executive Coach, Daniela is committed to supporting educators in thriving both personally and professionally.

Welcome to another enriching edition of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast series, where we explore the power of meaningful work and its profound impact on personal and professional growth. In this episode, I am thrilled to be joined by Wes Adams and Tamara Miles, the authors of "Meaningful Work". A serendipitous encounter evolved into extensive research and collaboration, gaining endorsements from global thought leaders like Adam Grant.Listen in as we challenge the common misconceptions about meaningful work, often assumed to be exclusive to certain professions. Wes and Tamara eloquently argue that meaningful work can be found in any role when it aligns with three core pillars: community, contribution, and challenge. Through compelling examples of janitors and hairstylists who find deep meaning in their daily tasks, we emphasize the role of leadership in shaping perceptions of meaningful work. Our conversation also addresses the hurdles leaders face with employees primarily motivated by financial incentives and how fostering a sense of community and purpose can enhance their work experience.Finally, we explore strategies for building meaningful work cultures within organizations. Wes and Tamara share valuable insights into the importance of aligning organizational values, particularly in remote work environments, and the significance of measuring progress towards creating meaningful work. We discuss how role modeling, clear communication, and understanding employees' unique narratives can foster a thriving work environment.

How to turn doubt and suspicion into hopefulness and trust.There's a lot in the world to make us cynical about other people and their motives and intentions. But by “trusting loudly,” Professor Jamil Zaki believes we can renew our faith in one another.Zaki is a professor of psychology at Stanford, director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience lab, and author of several books, including his most recent, Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness. While many people feel suspicious of others and are reluctant to trust them, Zaki finds that relying on other people is a necessary part of forming relationships.“Acts of trust are the bedrock on which relationships are formed,” Zaki says. “The only way that strangers become friends and friends become best friends, the only way that we can build partnerships is through a willingness to count on one another.”In this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Zaki joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss practical strategies for fostering trust and challenging our cynical assumptions, offering a hopeful perspective on human nature, backed by surprising scientific insights.Episode Reference Links:Jamil ZakiJamil's Lab: Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab Jamil's Book: Hope for CynicsEp.158 Hope for Cynics: Building Trusting Relationships through Communication Ep.84 Quick Thinks: How Others Define UsEp.129 Connect Deeply: How to Communicate So People Feel Seen and Heard 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 (03:26) - Defining Trust and Its Importance (04:17) - Building Better Trust (05:48) - Understanding Cynicism (08:10) - The Cynicism Spectrum (10:30) - Fostering Hopeful Skepticism (12:44) - Challenges of Overcoming Cynicism (14:36) - Positive Gossip and Positive Noticing (17:34) - Self-Fulfilling Prophecies (20:30) - The Final Three Questions (29:16) - Conclusion ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.
