    The Smartest People in the Classroom Can Sometimes Have the Biggest Egos

    In this week’s episode, Callie discussed what we should do if we are the most egotistical smart person in the room, or if we aren’t and that behavior is making us feel bad about ourselves. Callie also dives into academic competition, self esteem, and the public school system to really show how our egos have been built up academically and why it might not be the best for us. Callie stresses the need to help others in the classroom who are struggling to break down our academic egos, or to focus more on ourselves if we find ourselves comparing ourselves to other students. We need to be able to help others in the classroom, and sometimes being separated by our intelligence isn’t the best thing for us. Callie encourages listeners to remember to think clearly, and show others compassion when they don’t get it.

    It’s Ok To Be Hard On Yourself

    In this week’s episode, Callie explains why it’s ok to be hard on yourself, why it’s ok to have high expectations, and how these things are kind of necessary for change and growth. By disagreeing with an existentialist idea, Callie states why it is important to first decide for yourself how you are going to be hard on yourself, and why high expectations are nuanced, not black and white as we like to think they are.

    Academic Validation

    In this week’s episode, Callie talks all about academic validation! She explains that it’s a tricky subject; academic validation itself can either help you are harm you academically. It can make you more competitive, thinking that your success is tied to others’ failure, and that that will make you feel better. While other failures might make you feel better, it won’t fulfill you. Academic success will always be an internal thing, and that we should move away from tying it to validating our self worth in order to actually be successful. However, failure and burn out can be necessary to our success, as it can force us to rethink our approach to success and how we attack our goals. It can clarify what we really need and want for ourselves, and make us see what is actually important for us to succeed in academics.
