Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Human beings are evolutionarily hard-wired to compete with one another, and this drive to compete encourages us to compare our standing to that of our fellows and despair when we don't match up. This “compare and despair” mindset can lead to unworkable or harmful cycles of behavior that leave us feeling worse-than-ordinary. Ron Siegel, author of The Extraordinary Gift of being Ordinary, is faculty at Harvard Medical School and teaches internationally about mind-body medicine and the application of mindfulness and compassion practices in psychotherapy and other fields. On this episode of POTC, Ron talks with Yael about why being ordinary is actually an extraordinary gift! Join us to learn about addiction to self-esteem, what genetic analysis says about social comparison and organization, scientifically-backed practices for embracing and savoring your ordinariness, and more, today! Listen and Learn: Yael and Debbie's thoughts on the connection between being ordinary and belonging The inescapable cycle of comparing and despairing The evolutionary roots of our desire to be extraordinary What genetic analysis has to tell us about social comparison and organization Evidence-based strategies for responding to natural urges and impulses when they're not workable Practical advice for reorienting towards value-aligned actions after you've unhooked from addiction to self-esteem Ron's favorite practices for embracing and savoring your ordinariness The importance of embracing impermanence (including your own mortality) Resources: Snag your DISCOUNTED copy of Ron's book, The Extraordinary Gift of being Ordinary.

When do you throw in the towel and delete your Facebook Group? For a while now online marketers have been saying that Facebook Groups are dead, that they don't matter anymore, that they are a waste of time, and I think that's soooooo not true.With Facebook's recent changes to cast a deep net instead of a wide net within the world's largest social media outlet, they are now emphasizing Facebook Groups as a way to facilitate those deeper connections. They are more private, more intimate, and much more focused on relationships. As an online entrepreneur, it's never been a better time to monopolize on this new emphasis. But time and time again mompreneurs start Facebook Groups with the best of intentions, only to let them fall to the wayside when they stop working. Usually what happens is there is a flurry of activity when the Group is first started, but eventually over the course of a month or two, engagement starts to dwindle, so it is assumed that no one is interested anymore and the Facebook Group Admin slowly starts to fall out of love with their Facebook Group.On the other hand, you see the bigger names in your industry shutting down their Groups of tens of thousands of members. Why would they walk away from all of those potential clients? It seems crazy to do such a thing!

The riches are in the niches. Have you ever heard that expression before? I remember the first time I heard it from my coach 4 years ago, I totally rolled my eyes. Granted, I was in a very different place and an entirely different business, but I wrote it off as a bunch of malarkey. I had a personal training business that was tanking and I couldn't seem to find clients to save my life. I was certified and trained to serve a wide variety of clients so why would niching down when it comes to who I serve benefit me? Wouldn't that be limiting the amount of clients I could serve? And therefore, limiting my business? So I continued to cast a wide net when it came to my marketing. I talked about geriatric fitness, fitness for special populations, postpartum fitness, and even strength training for athletes. And yes, still no new clients.Finally after 4 months of no new clients I decided to actually listen to my coach and niche down. My favorite clients were my postpartum clients, and being 1 year out from having my first kid and being in possibly the best shape of my entire life, I felt I could not only help postpartum women get amazing results, but I could also relate to them on a personal level. So I created a post about postpartum fitness and how freaking hard it was. How fitting back into my pre-baby skinny jeans was hard, how the hunger pains from breastfeeding turned me into a hangry monster, and how working out seemed to calm my postpartum depression symptoms. I figured I had literally nothing to lose (I already wasn't booking clients) so let's see what happened.And y'all, I kid you not, within 3 days I was fully booked. The reason why I'm telling you this is to show you what niching down can and will do for your business. So let's dive into why you should be niching down in your business, no matter how you serve your clients or what kind of business it is that you run. This is necessary for ALL businesses, no matter if you're in network marketing, service-based, product-based, DIY, coaching, course creation. Whatever kind of business you own, you need to have a specific niche. RESOURCES:Snag a 50% off coupon for your membership to my favorite project management system, Honeybook!

It's almost that time of the year. ⠀⠀The most enjoyable, yet *sometimes* the most stressful time of the year.⠀⠀For me, I have about 4 weeks until Camden is home all summer so I am in serious summer prep mode. ⠀⠀And so if you're seeing the impending summer break as an impending doom, this episode is totally for you.⠀⠀This summer I'm going to have 16 month Nora and 5 year old Camden home with me full-time and so I want to share with you how I'm still going to be serving my Legacy Mastermind clients, creating amazing content for my membership site and simultaneously scaling, The Lead Generation Lab, AND still have time for the podcast, serving my Facebook community, and doing #allthethings businesses, WHILE also having a life and enjoying the heck out of my family time.⠀⠀So let's talk a bit about back-end systems. Here's my philosophy on this: Your business should have some sort of mechanism to build your business FOR you, while you're actually living your life. It's the entire premise of the Lead Generation Lab because it's a HUGE value for me and for my clients. Your business should serve YOU, not you serve it. So having automation implemented is imperative here.And if you don't have automation just yet, it's key to your growing your business so you really need to dive into it. Your sanity depends on it! Now automation looks different for everyone, but here is what it looks like for me:Facebook and Instagram Ads for a freebie, that freebie is hooked to an email sequence that develops the know, like, and trust factor AND also pitches them a paid program like the Lead Generation Lab or my Facebook Group course: From Wallflowers to Groupies.I am going to be putting a huge emphasis on this this summer simply because I feel like it's time. I've done a lot of active launching this year to test out sales funnels and Facebook Ads, I know what works, and most importantly what doesn't work, and so it's time to maximize that knowledge. Everything I've done up to this point this year, has been to automate my business the second half of the year.And so if you're thinking right now, “Well I don't have that knowledge yet. I haven't been thinking this far ahead.” It's totally fine, you can still have a summer that grows your business AND is a lot of fun. Here's what I think you should do:Develop an AMAZING freebie. Do your market research, figure out the deep pain point your ideal client is suffering from. Create this freebie in the method that they most prefer (video training, checklist, swipe copy, quiz).You don't necessarily have to have a BIG email sales funnel hooked up. What if you attached a three email nurture sequence to this freebie. A simple, “Hey, let's get to know one another!” sequence that was easy for you to write. After they go through the nurture sequence they get rolled over onto your mailing list where they receive updates and/or promotions once or twice a week.This will allow you to still grow your email list, while still offering amazing value to your new subscribers through a super effective freebie.Now I do think you need a Facebook and Instagram Ad strategy. I truly think that Facebook and Instagram Ads will get you the most bang for your buck. AND you can manage these for yourself. Buy a course and dive in. This is something you can implement NOW and once an Ad is running well, you can check in with it and tweak and adjust as needed.But get the base down NOW.In this episode I share with you what I'm doing to work smarter, not harder this summer. I'm sharing this with you is to help you to see what you could do to help set you up for success this summer while wrangling those amazing kids of yours AND still building your business. ⠀RESOURCES:Snag a 50% off coupon for your membership to my favorite project management system, Honeybook!

Matt + Steph take the mic this week to riff on the idea of change. When is change hard and when is it easy? Why do we resist change? When is it time to make a change and to disrupt the status quo? Change is easy when it moves us closer to our goals. When something we thought was impossible becomes possible. The work in change management, is to paint a picture of the future that is worth living into. Change doesn’t need to be hard or easy, but rather an unshackling of what has been. Matt explains why the idea that we need to have it all figured out before we take the leap, results in stagnation and inaction. And for this reason, the time to act is always now. The time is now, because the perfect time doesn’t exist. We never know what the result of change will be, or where our decision will take us, but the unknown shouldn’t result in paralysis, because these disorienting dilemmas are key to true transformation.
