    Ep 7: I Look Shit

    How often do you look in the mirror and think "Wow, I look fantastic"? For us, this does not happen often. In this episode, we tackle the topic of "I look shit". We discuss the biological basis of these thoughts and consider how advertising and social media perpetuates this type of thinking. We'll offer some ideas about how to cope with these thoughts so you can do more of what matters.

    Ep 5: I'm a Shit Worker

    Ever had the thought that you’re shit at your job? Or thought you’re shit for working too much or not enough? We have these thoughts ALL the time. Sometimes they help us, but a lot of the time they can get in the way of us doing a good job. We talk about things that help us cope with shit thoughts, like focusing on our values and what’s most important to us.

    Ep 2: I'm a Bit Shit (and No One Likes Me)

    In this episode, we discuss thoughts that are all too common for us sometimes – “no one likes me” or “I’m a shit friend”. We travel back to caveman times to understand where these thoughts came from – ensuring we didn’t get kicked out of the clan was imperative to our survival. Life is vastly different now, so why do we still have these thoughts? And what can we do about it?
