SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are diving into the idea of emotional shape-shifting or adapting our emotions and behaviors in different social situations. Have you ever found yourself slipping into the role of mood manager—filling awkward silences, lifting a heavy atmosphere, or shifting your tone just to keep the peace? Maybe you've walked into a room, scanned the emotional temperature, and instinctively adjusted yourself to fit in, smoothing out discomfort like a social glue stick. If so, congratulations! You might be what I like to call an Emotional Shape-Shifter—the person who intuitively adapts to meet others where they are. Sounds like a superpower, right? And in many ways, it is. This kind of emotional adaptability can build connections, ease tensions, and make you the go-to person for support and social harmony. But here's the catch—when does being flexible turn into being too flexible? At what point do we stop adjusting and start erasing ourselves? Think about it - constantly mirroring other people's moods can be exhausting! If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling emotionally drained—like you just carried the weight of someone else's energy—you're not alone. As a self-proclaimed shifter, I wanted to know, is emotional shape-shifting simply a form of empathy, or is it a close cousin of people-pleasing? And more importantly, how do we keep the good parts of this trait while setting boundaries that protect our own emotional well-being? Today, we're diving into the art of emotional adaptability—when it's a strength, when it's a slippery slope, and how to find the balance between connection and self-preservation. I was talking to a friend of mine about this idea and referred to myself as “the goo”...sounds weird, but think about it. Goo fills empty space.  Ever notice how you become a slightly different version of yourself depending on who you're with or where you are? This isn't about being fake – it's something psychologists might call emotional shape-shifting, and it's actually a normal part of human behavior. Emotional shape-shifting can be defined as the process of adjusting or changing your emotional expression to suit different situations or people. It draws on our capacity for emotional regulation – the ability to control or modulate our feelings – and on emotional mirroring, where we unconsciously mimic another person's emotions to connect with them. In other words, it's like being an “emotional chameleon”, instinctively adapting to the social environment to blend in or put others at ease. Over at Psych Central, Hope Gillette tells us about Practicing Authenticity When You're Socially Adapting There are no set criteria that define someone as a social chameleon, but common traits can include:   Empathy: Recognizing, relating, and responding to the thoughts and feelings of others. Adaptability: Being able to change your behavior readily in different situations. Open-mindedness: Always searching for a common ground with others' beliefs and interests. Social awareness: Being keen to subtle social cues, like body language, or shifts in others' moods and behaviors. Effective communication: Offering clear, engaging conversation and active listening. Displaying interest: Asking questions and displaying interest in someone else's passion. Mimicking movements: Taking on movements of another to convey shared experiences, like smiling, nodding, or arm crossing.   At Medical News Today, Zawn Villines gives us some insight on People pleasers: What it means and how to stop On the School of Life's YouTube Channel, I found How to Stop Being a People Pleaser CHALLENGE: Be intentional with your own emotional shape-shifting – adapt to others when it feels right, but never at the cost of your true feelings and needs. Stay flexible and empathetic, yes, but also fiercely protective of your authenticity and personal boundaries.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

In this conversation, we explore his struggle to balance entrepreneurial business development with satisfying his creative instincts. He reveals how he eventually established systems that removed him from being the bottleneck in agency operations while allowing him to choose his involvement in the processes. He also shares the clarity he found that inspired a subscription-based product offering that maintains healthy cashflow. Join us for this insightful conversation about agency growth, creating freedom through systems, maintaining long-term client relationships, and navigating the evolving challenges of the entrepreneurial journey.

Turning a Market Gap into a Thriving Agency Pinaki's agency journey began when he and his college partners, all computer science graduates from Rutgers, found themselves jobless after the tech bubble burst in the late 90s. Recognizing the potential of the growing internet landscape, they decided to collaborate and create their own path. They identified a crucial market gap: companies excelled either at design or technology, but rarely both. This was the niche they decided to occupy. Later on, realizing most of their clients were communicators, they further niched down to serving communications teams. Their initial approach was humble, often trading services for goods rather than charging traditional fees. They worked with small startups that struggled with funding. This experience taught Pinaki and his team valuable lessons about the realities of client relationships, pricing, and the importance of setting boundaries. Through collaboration, they were able to refine their approach, ultimately leading to more significant projects and clients. This shift from small, struggling startups to larger enterprises marked a turning point in their journey. Eventually, as they gained experience and began to understand the needs of larger enterprises. They found the confidence to Increase their pricing structure, with their first big project being a $40,000 deal. At the time, that kind of money seemed wild to them! Embracing a Subscription-Product Offering to Maintain Cashflow Even after increasing their prices, Pinaki admits it took him too long to get out of day-to-day operations. After navigating an industry still in its infancy and growing his agency by doing a bit of everything, he had learned to enjoy daily operations and thrived in that work. However, hiring the right team members eventually helped him and his partners recognize they should redirect their focus toward strategic growth, with effective delegation as the key enabler. Shifting focus from operations to growth helped them realize the potential to grow existing accounts by offering subscription-based services. Clients often struggled to maintain their websites post-launch, resulting in deteriorating quality over time. Recognizing this gap, they introduced "website curation" services designed to preserve and enhance site quality as content evolved. The subscription model really helped maintain cashflow, providing steady revenue that stabilize the agency when project work fluctuated. It also helped them create stronger client relationships by setting up a new situation where they would do a lot of work for just one client instead of a lot projects for different clients that never grew beyond that. Uncomfortable Honesty is the Key to Long-Term Client Relationships While his agency team always knew the right questions to ask clients, Pinaki admits they initially fell into the "order taker" category. Today, however, 70% of their revenue comes from recurring business—a testament to their deliberate focus on building long-lasting relationships, with their longest-standing client partnership spanning approximately 20 years. For Pinaki, honesty serves as the cornerstone of these enduring client relationships. This means respectfully declining projects beyond their capabilities or tactfully pushing back on ideas they believe won't succeed, all while treating clients with genuine empathy. This approach of delivering difficult messages compassionately transforms potential setbacks into growth opportunities. When clients know they can depend on their service provider for truthfulness—even when uncomfortable—it fosters a deeper, more resilient trust over time. As he points out, there should always be a focus on moving forward when challenges arise rather than placing blame, which really helps them in being seen as trusted advisors. How to Stop Being the Bottleneck in Agency Operations Most agency owners begin their journey as creators or industry enthusiasts with specialized skills—like building websites—who eventually find themselves navigating the business side once clients start paying for their services. This transition to business ownership requires three critical steps: 1. connecting with like-minded peers, 2. gaining clarity about your agency's direction, and 3. developing the confidence to pursue that vision with conviction. Building a sustainable future typically involves creating robust systems and making strategic hires that gradually remove you as the owner from every operational decision. Eventually, this evolution results in a business that functions independently. If you're concerned about becoming a bottleneck, implement regular feedback sessions with your team. Ask them what they wish you would stop doing, continue doing, and do more of—providing invaluable insights into areas where you might be unintentionally constraining growth. While systematizing your business is crucial, this doesn't mean abandoning the aspects of agency work you genuinely enjoy. Whether it's joining client closing calls or facilitating design meetings, you can still participate in these fulfilling activities. The key distinction is creating systems that give you the choice to participate rather than requiring your involvement. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Key Points for Listeners: Why Systems Matter More Than You Think: If you're feeling overwhelmed and stuck in your business, chances are it's because your systems are lacking. Good processes are what take businesses from just surviving to really thriving. Stop Being the Overworked, Underpaid CEO: Many business owners end up doing everything themselves, which leads to burnout. The right systems can help you delegate, automate, and focus on what you love. Don't Get Stuck in the Startup Trap: Most businesses fail not because of bad ideas but because of poor management and burnout. Creating solid processes early on is the key to long-term success and avoiding common pitfalls. Build a Team That Complements You, Not Clones You: Instead of hiring people just like you, build a team with skills that fill in your gaps. This way, you're not stuck doing everything yourself, and your business can grow faster. The AI Revolution is Here—Are You Ready?: AI is changing the game. Whether it's automating tasks or enhancing customer service, businesses that adapt will thrive, while those that don't might struggle to keep up. Simple Habits for Big Wins: Daily habits like reading, listening to business podcasts, and connecting with successful people can make a massive difference in your business mindset and growth. Top Resources to Get You Started: Check out books like "Systemology" and "The E-Myth Revisited" for actionable tips on creating better processes. And if referrals are your weak spot, join the 5-day challenge to get a proven system in place. Take Action Now, Not Later: Don't wait until you're drowning to fix your processes. Start by evaluating where you're spending your time, and look for areas to systematize or outsource. And if taxes are a headache, reach out to experts like Michael Calello for help.

Are you overwhelmed by clutter? Overstimulated easily? Sensitive to noise, touch, caffeine, or sensory input in general? You may be a highly sensitive person, like me. Being an HSP has impacted my parenting in huge ways, including how I respond to sensory input, touch, and noise (hello, two boys!) In this interview on the Failing Motherhood Podcast, I talk about my struggles with anger in my early motherhood and how I was able to cope - by decluttering, simplifying, and also therapy, medication, mindfulness, and other strategies. If you struggle with anger in your motherhood or feel constantly overwhelmed, this episode is for you. Danielle Bettmann, the amazing host of Failing Motherhood, is a parenting coach for families with 1-10-year-old strong-willed kids. You can learn more about Danielle here.

What is the connection between our nervous system and how we experience motherhood? How can we process and release our emotions in a healthy way and then teach that to our children? How can we proactively manage our triggers so we can feel less overwhelmed? These are just some of the questions I am diving into today with Michelle Grosser. Michelle is a Nervous System Expert, Certified Master Life Coach, and host of The Calm Mom Podcast. Through somatic and neuroscience-based modalities, she coaches women through discovering what's beneath their triggers and emotions, so they can begin their healing journey and find peace in the present. She deeply believes that the most profound thing we can offer our children is our own healing. She and her husband Jeff have two daughters and live in Miami, FL.

A focus on gratitude is typical this time of year. But more often than not, the cognitive or behavioral nods we give gratitude around Thanksgiving can feel a little limp, rote, and unedifying. If you feel like this American holiday has been lacking in meaning, maybe what you need is to infuse it with a Japanese practice.The Naikan method of self-reflection grew out of Buddhist spirituality and has been recognized by psychologists as a way to develop greater self-awareness, gratitude, empathy, and direction. Naikan involves asking yourself three questions: What have I received from others? What have I given others? What troubles and difficulties have I caused others?Gregg Krech, who is the executive director of the ToDo Institute, which promotes principles of psychology based on Eastern traditions, has created a Thanksgiving-specific version of Naikan that helps practitioners dig further into its first question. Today on the show, we talk about the way Naikan differs from mainstream gratitude practices and is based less on feeling and more on seeing the world objectively. Gregg shares six prompts that can help you recognize the reality of how you're being supported in the world, cultivate the art of noticing, and embrace life's grace.Resources Related to the PodcastThe ToDo Institute's free Thanksgiving Guide to Self-Reflection booklet — scroll down, enter your email into the form, and a PDF of the booklet will be sent to you.Gregg's previous appearances on the AoM podcast:#425: Action Over Feelings #671: Begin the New Year by Reflecting on These 3 Life-Changing QuestionsNaikan: Gratitude, Grace, and the Japanese Art of Self-Reflection by Gregg KrechAoM Podcast #906: Stop Being a ComplainerAoM Article: The Spiritual Disciplines — Gratitude Sunday Firesides: Graduate From the Kindergarten Class of GratitudeAoM Podcast #459: Beyond Gratitude Lite — The Real Virtue of ThankfulnessHow to Fight Entitlement and Develop Gratitude in Your KidsAoM Article: The George Bailey Technique — Mentally Erase Your Blessings for Greater Joy and OptimismConnect with Gregg KrechThirty Thousand Days Website

According to some estimates, only 5% of people in the West get the recommended amount of daily physical activity. Is the solution getting a fitness tracker, developing more discipline, or buying a piece of cardio equipment for your basement?My guest would say none of the above, and would have you think about kids playing at recess instead.Darryl Edwards is the founder of the Primal Play Method. Today on the show, we discuss the epidemic of sedentariness which besets both adults and children and why technology and willpower isn't the cure for it. Darryl then explains why a better solution to getting more movement and physical activity in our lives is rediscovering the intrinsically motivating pleasure of play. He offers suggestions on how to do that, including compiling a play history for your life, embracing “primal movements” that will get you moving like an animal and a child, and getting over the fear of looking goofy while doing so. We discuss the joys and health benefits of exploring your capabilities and environment and how to incorporate more movement into your busy adult life by making even regular activities more playful.Resources Related to the PodcastDarryl's books:Animal Moves: How to Move Like an Animal to Get You Leaner, Fitter, Stronger and Healthier for LifeMy First Animal Moves: A Children's Book to Encourage Kids and Their Parents to Move More, Sit Less and Decrease Screen TimeAoM Article: Get Fit Like a Wild Man — A Primer on MovNatAoM Article: The 10 Physical Skills Every Man Should MasterAoM Article: The Importance of Having a Physical IdentityAoM Article: 30 Days to a Better Man Day 24 — Play!AoM Podcast #508: Break Out of Your Cage and Stop Being a Human Zoo AnimalAoM Podcast #245: The Workout the World ForgotAoM Podcast #749: Let the Children Play!Connect With Darryl EdwardsPrimal Play websiteDarryl on FBDarryl on IG
