In this episode, Heather Blankenship sits down with Laura Morby - wife of investor Pace Morby - to talk about carving out your own identity when you're constantly seen as someone else's “plus one.”
 Laura opens up about the identity shifts that come with motherhood, and the pressure to live up to someone else's spotlight. She shares how she's embracing her behind-the-scenes nature, staying grounded in her own interests - like real estate, cookbook clubs, and thrifting with her kids - and why motherhood is just one chapter, not the whole book.

But what if there was something we could do to rekindle the greatest joys of our pasts? How might that shift how we feel in the present moment? Simply reflecting on happy memories has been shown in a lab to reduce stress, activate the reward center in our brain, and uplift our mood. This week, Palestinian-American poet and author Naomi Shihab Nye reminisces on happy memories from her youth and finds the practice soothes her and sparks joyfulness. We also hear from neuroscientist Mauricio Delgado about how the practice changes the way we think and feel, and which types of happy memories serve us best. Practice: For one week or more, spend 5-10 minutes each day writing in response to the following prompt: Think about good memories you have from your past. Write a few paragraphs describing them and one event that you still remember to this date. Please provide as many details as possible, including who was there, so that another person reading what you wrote could understand how you felt at that time. Today's guests: Naomi Shihab Nye is a Palestinian-American poet and author. Her new book of poetry, Grace Notes, will be available May 7.

Couples Heal using Astrology?! Astrology can be a valuable tool for couples for several reasons: www.askhollyhall.com 1. **Understanding Compatibility:** - Astrology provides insights into the compatibility of individuals based on their birth charts. It analyzes the positions of planets and their influence on personality traits, helping couples understand each other's strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas of compatibility or conflict. 2. **Communication Styles:** - Astrology can shed light on communication preferences and styles. For example, an individual with a strong Mercury influence might communicate more analytically, while someone influenced by the Moon may express emotions openly. Understanding these differences can enhance communication within a relationship. 3. **Conflict Resolution:** - By analyzing astrological aspects related to conflict and resolution, couples can gain insights into how they approach disagreements and challenges. This awareness allows them to find more constructive ways to navigate conflicts and maintain a harmonious relationship. 4. **Personal Growth:** - Astrology encourages personal growth and self-awareness. When individuals understand their astrological profiles, they can work on personal development, which positively impacts the relationship. Couples supporting each other's growth often experience a deeper connection. 5. **Timing and Transits:** - Astrology considers planetary transits, which can influence specific periods in individuals' lives. Understanding these transits can help couples navigate times of change, challenges, or opportunities. It provides a roadmap for both personal and relationship development. 6. **Shared Interests and Values:** - Astrology can highlight shared interests, values, and goals between partners. Aligning life paths and aspirations fosters a sense of unity and shared purpose, contributing to a more fulfilling and meaningful connection. 7. **Prevention of Misunderstandings:** - Misunderstandings often arise from differences in perspectives and approaches. Astrology helps couples anticipate potential challenges and celebrate each other's unique qualities, minimizing the likelihood of misinterpretation. 8. **Timing for Major Life Events:** - Astrology can offer guidance on auspicious times for significant life events, such as marriage, starting a family, or making important decisions. Couples can use astrological insights to make informed choices about the timing of major milestones. 9. **Empathy and Compassion:** - Knowing each other's astrological profiles fosters empathy and compassion. Recognizing that cosmic energies influence certain behaviors or reactions encourages a non-judgmental understanding, promoting a more supportive and loving partnership. 10. **Fun and Shared Exploration:** - Exploring astrology together can be a fun and bonding experience for couples. Learning about each other's charts and discussing astrological concepts can deepen the connection and create shared interests. While astrology can offer valuable insights, it's essential to approach it with an open mind and recognize that individual experiences may vary. It should be used as a complementary tool for self-awareness and relationship enhancement rather than as a strict determinant of compatibility. Try a Couples session now!

Learn to master all things and then you can make sure you and your other will for SURE have something in common. Matt and Mike said I can't actually tell people to never sleep. Whatever dudes. That's bush league. Just like your LOOONG conversation about Gilmore Girls. Anyway, on today's episode, the Space Captains tackle diverging interests and how to be more involved with the important people in your life. And apparently, you can still do it with a reasonable 8 hours of sleep every night. But honestly, raise your hand if you actually get that many hours of sleep a night. I don't. Maybe we should do an episode on that. Looks like you'll have to come back and listen again next time. Spread the word! The Manspace is Rad!!

In this podcast, the host argues that Valentine's Day is overrated and instead emphasizes the importance of being intentional in relationships as a sign of good leadership. Doug discusses the difference between being intentional and passive in relationships and the importance of focusing on controllable actions. Doug also emphasizes the need for a positive vibe and a focus on value in relationships, and suggests various levels of intentionality, ranging from simple gratitude and birthday messages to acts of service and selflessness. Finally we stress the importance of showing up consistently, whether through phone calls or in-person meetings, and being present for important events and moments. Doug suggest that being intentional in relationships can have positive effects both personally and professionally, and can help build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.Key Points:Being intentional in relationships is an important trait of good leadership, and can have positive effects both personally and professionally.It's important to focus on controllable actions in relationships, such as showing gratitude, making time for phone calls and in-person meetings, and performing acts of service and selflessness.Different levels of intentionality in relationships exist, ranging from simple messages of gratitude and support to more involved and committed actions, such as being present for important events and sacrificing personal time for the benefit of others.

Many people often approach dating through the lens of shared interests. While there is a grain of wisdom to this perspective, it ultimately doesn't make a lot of sense to do this. And there are two main reasons for this. First: shared interests are factual disclosures, and factual disclosures do not increase attraction or chemistry (which is what people are generally looking for in a relationship). And second: your interests (and your partner's interests) will change in time. If the basis of your relationship is your shared interests, how will it continue when those interests inevitably shift? #dating #attraction #relationship

When you first start a relationship, you typically find many shared interests. They keep the relationship exciting and aligned. Through those shared interests, you determine what shared values you both possess. And it's those shared values that create the foundation for a long lasting relationship. But what happens when some or many of your interests are no longer shared? In this episode, we explore that and the importance shared values will play now and forever in your relationship.

In episode 009, I break down the topic (Finding Shared Interests) into the following sections: Introduction The Problem with Doing Separate Things Wise Alternatives How to Negotiate Shared Interests After the topic, I conclude the episode with Ask Bob Q&A.

We’re living in an ever more isolated society with one in four older Australians living alone. If meeting new likeminded people in your community isn’t as easy as how it used to be, how about creating your very own social group where people with shared interest can meet you in real life? - আমরা এমন একটা অতি বিচ্ছিন্ন সমাজে বাস করছি যেখানে প্রতি চার জনে একজন প্রবীণ অস্ট্রেলিয়ান একা থাকেন।একটা সময় ছিল যখন সমমনা লোকদের সাথে মেশা কঠিন ছিল না, কিন্তু এখন সেটা সম্ভব না। কেমন হয় যদি এমন কোন সোশ্যাল গ্রুপ আপনি পেয়ে যান যেখানে তাদের সাথে আপনার মতের মিল থাকবে।

Subscribe to Selling With Social Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Play There’s an old saying, “Your network is your net worth” and though many may feel it’s a tired old phrase, it 100% true. Both performance and science have proven the best salespeople build incredible relationships with their customers. However, today’s selling model has made it more complex to know where and when we should engage with a current or future client. That is why I asked Paul Teshima, co-founder of Nudge.ai to join me on #SellingWithSocial so we could talk about how to help sales professionals genuinely enhance those kinds of relationships. Nudge.ai gathers the insights you need to write engaging emails by providing you with the latest personal mentions, company news, social activity and relationship insights on your buyers as you write emails. As you can see, Paul knows the topic I wanted to discuss, so you don’t want to miss this conversation. His insights about the nuances and practical steps of relationship selling are priceless. 84% of All B2B Deals Start from the Referral Process “Today the hardest part of closing any deal is actually finding it,” Lars Nielsen. For that reason, referrals have become all the more important. Studies show that 84% of all B2B deals started with the referral process. If that is true, that means finding, then creating and nurturing those relationships must be done more effectively, in ways that bring about those referrals that lead to closed deals. In this conversation, Paul explains why relationship intelligence can empower us to build those kinds of relationships and shows how AI makes it possible. This is a powerful step forward for the sales industry and the salespeople who make the best use of it will be the ones to dominate their industry. Relationship Intelligence: The Future of Sales If you’re not familiar with the term “relationship intelligence,” it’s important that you get it because it’s the future of relationship selling and referrals. With tens of thousands or more of contacts in your CRM, there’s no way you’re going to be able to build authentic relationships with all of them, much less do so in a strategic, intelligent way. Enter relationship intelligence technology - leveraging AI to provide data points and insights into who your prospects are, which ones are most beneficial to pursue, when is the right time to “nudge” them, and serving you up information as to what topics or resources may be of interest to your prospects right now. Sound helpful? It's more than helpful, it's revolutionary to the sales process. Find out more from my guest on this episode of Selling With Social. A Nudge a Day: It’s the Key to Building Relationships What if you had a platform that collected data and insights on your sales prospects and connections, pulled them together in an intelligent way, reminded you each day that your relationship has gone dark or is “cooling off”, then “nudged” you to engage with your buyers based upon one of those trigger events? Additionally, what if you could determine who is the “best” person in your network who could make a referral to your prospective buyer? That’s called relationship intelligence at scale. Make sure you take the time to listen to this part of the conversation. Focus on Shared Interests to Build Relationships It's always helpful to think of things in the context of a real-life scenario, so let me give you one that shows the power of relationship intelligence software. Imagine that you and one of your prospects share a love for mountain climbing. That prospect regularly shares photos on social media posts about their mountain climbing adventures. Relationship intelligence software finds all of the common interest(s), collates the things the prospects shares on social, and brings it to your attention. Then the software nudges you to reach out to that prospect based on the frequency of your previous contact with them. You are now equipped to build your relationship with them in a very natural and authentic way. Nothing is forced, nothing feels out of place. Do you see the power in that? In this conversation with Paul, co-founder of Nudge.ai you will hear even more examples of how this kind of approach can gain you the reputation as a connector that earns referrals.

Brandon introduces his friend Roniit to the Positive Head audience; she was a listener herself whose life was changed by the podcast and reached out to Brandon to have her question answered. They talk about shared interests and experiences including transformational festivals, potential projects, artistic endeavors, personal insights and synchronicities spurred by the podcast.

This is a question that comes up more often than I would have expected. We’ll address this issue of shared interests but at the end of the post I am going to go a whole layer deeper and tell you what really matters for couples that are focusing on this issue. Some couples seem to spend all their time together and have exactly the same interests. Others seem to have nothing in common and their leisure time is a constant battle between their individual preferences. If you’re in the latter group you may be wondering to what extent you are expected to join in with your spouse’s interests and hobbies. So we’re going to examine this issue and how it can impact marriages. Clarifying Shared Leisure or Interests Whether we’re talking hobbies or shared leisure or shared interests, it’s helpful to clarify that in order for something to truly fall into this category the activities need to be[i] Expected to be enjoyable by BOTH spouses Freely chosen by BOTH spouses That might sound obvious but often the contention comes in right here because either one person is not enjoying it, or one person does not feel like they were part of the decision. This is a challenge for being honest with each other and with ourselves: don’t call it shared if it’s not. It’s OK if you’re happy to do something with your spouse because he or she enjoys it and you just enjoy being with them. Just make sure it is fair: so that somehow that imbalance is reciprocated even in other ways. I think it’s also good to point out that shared activities can be joint or parallel. Joint are interactive and undertaken together. Parallel are undertaken together but not interactive. For example, going to a swimming club: you’ll change separately, you won’t interact while swimming etc. But it’s still a joint activity. I think this is helpful to note because it begs the question: are you wanting more activities together or more interaction? If you only want the latter, it may be that you’re focusing on the wrong problem. More on that later. Shared Interests and Marriage Satisfaction Spending free time together and having shared interests is linked to increased marital satisfaction[ii]. Having shared interests is a sign of high levels of intimacy as it shows that the couples are choosing to spend their free time together. Shared leisure also predicts higher self-reported feelings of love for your spouse and less conflict in the marriage[iii]. So, at least initially, this seems to be a good thing, right? However, it's slightly more complicated than just shared free time equals marital satisfaction. For starters, the interests really do have to be shared: a study from 2002[iv] studied couples over 10 years for changes in shared leisure and its effects on marriage. They found that involvement in interests that the husband liked but the wife disliked was "both a cause and a consequence of wives' dissatisfaction". Forcing or expecting your spouse to care about the same things as you isn’t going to be good for your marriage. There are a whole range of other factors that play into this other than simply how long you spend on what activity, and who enjoys it. Here are some of them[v]: Satisfaction with the leisure time (both of you finding it enjoyable) is correlated with marital satisfaction. This satisfaction with the joint leisure time is a more important predictor of marital satisfaction than the amount of time spent in such activities. Marital satisfaction is linked to the percentage of free time spouses chose to spend with each other, rather than the total number of hours. That’s a very nuanced but interesting detail. It’s saying this: if you have 2 free hours a week, and you spend one of that with your spouse, that’s 50%. If you have 8 free hours a week and you spend 2 of those with your spouse, that’s 25%. Spouse’s with the 50% ratio will be more satisfied with their marriage than the 25% spouse who is getting double the time.

I’m really excited about this episode with Dr. Temple Grandin!   She’s so inspirational to me and many around the world.  She has written so many books on Autism!   In this episode, she talks about what it was like growing up for her with Autism, what helps and what doesn’t.  She also provides some great tips for parents, teachers, and therapists to help raise kids that have a sense of purpose and a strong work ethic that can go on to thrive in emotionally, socially, and occupationally. I first heard of Dr. Grandin from a friend of mine, Stephanie Sanders.  She is the Speech Therapist and the author of the FILTER Approach that I had on the podcast way back in episode 28.  If you haven’t listened to that episode, please do.  It’s a good one!  I love Stephanie and her work.  Her book is fantastic.  It provides a step by step curriculum to help children with social communication skills.  I worked with her when I was a school counselor and had the opportunity to really see her work help some of the same kids I was working with... it’s amazing.   Also, one more thing before we jump into my conversation with Dr. Grandin.  My colleague, Robert Cox, has a podcast and a book coming out soon that I am super, crazy excited about.  It’s called Listening to Autism.  He was also a guest on my podcast back in Episode 24 – “Teaching Kids with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder to Calm Their Chaos through Mindfulness.”  On his podcast “Listening to Autism” he brings in research, lots of information from professionals.  He draws on his 24 years of experience of working with people with Autism as well as explores effective treatment approaches to really help.  One thing that I love about his work is that he looks at helping through the lens of trauma, to really help.  He also has a book in the final stages at the time of this recording “The Life Recovery Method”.  You can find Robert at www.liferecoveryconsulting.com Okay, so here are the highlights of my conversation with Dr. Temple Grandin. It’s important to get a child that is non-verbal into speech therapy as soon as possible.   There’s 3 types of minds -  photo-visual thinking, pattern thinker, and the person that thinks in words. It’s important to “stretch” kids to expose them to things that help them grow. Build on children’s strengths - art, hands-on, etc... Giving kids a chance to develop a strong work ethic and develop working skills is so important. Dr. Grandin expresses gratitude to the people such as her teachers, her mother, and others that helped shape her work ethic and push her. She is very concerned about video game “addictions”.   It’s important to limit their video game addiction with ASD, by weaning them away from it and replacing it with hands-on work opportunities and activities that the child is interested in.  Dr. Grandin describes “teachable” moments as being really helpful.   She mentions that understanding sensory issues is really important.   When she was growing up, adults would “correct” kids when they were doing something incorrectly such as “only the clerks are allowed behind the counter” when she went behind the counter. It’s important to give kids a refuge away from teasing in groups with people that have a “Shared Interests”. Exposure in high school is important – it’s a window of opportunity to get kids involved and exposed to other things than video games. Dr. Grandin says that it is never too late to make changes. She discusses her own experiences with medication to help her take the edge of anxiety. She mentions a connection with Autism Spectrum Disorder and the images in video games.
