    Ep. 30: The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck

    Martha Beck is the OG of life coaches and is one of Oprah's favorite gurus. Her latest book takes on a core belief: Much of what plagues us--people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits--all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.She uses Dante's classic hero's journey, The Divine Comedy, along with powerful stories from her own life, as the framework to teach us how to find our own way back to integrity. Laura and Jerome find a ...

    Ep. 29: The 25th Anniversary of Emotional Intelligence

    Today we're celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the OG self-help book, Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Jerome and Laura talk about how Goleman's groundbreaking idea—that EQ (emotional intelligence quotient) is more important than IQ to a person's success—has changed how we raise our kids and how we can teach kids to be the person other people want to be with versus cracking the whip about getting all As.

    Ep. 27 Teaching your kid to handle criticism

    Is there anything in life that is more anxiety-provoking than when someone says they've got some "helpful" criticism for you? Or is that just me? (Laura here, naming and owning her fear!). But here's the thing: criticism is part of life. And if we can help our kids figure out early how to roll with (and learn from) criticism, what a game changer that would be, right? Today we're talking about how exactly to do that, using some advice we heard from Tom Bilyeu, founder of Impact Theory. Come ha...
