    Transitions, Emotions and Couplehood

    In theory in our discussion today, Lawrence and I tackled the topic of transitions. But it evolved into a lot of dialogue about transition in and as part of being a couple, including the importance of communication and struggling to be supportive of other people's transitions.

    The Motives and Mechanics of Reframing

    Join Lawrence and me as we discuss the nitty gritty of reframing -- how to do it, why bother and what things you need to get clear about in order to decide whether or not it's worthwhile. We have a great discussion about the tough parts of adulting, and who should (and shouldn't) have the power to emotionally hijack us, including what we need to do to prevent it from happening.

    Toxic Positivity

    Join Lawrence and I this week as we discuss a recent hot topic worth spending a few minutes tackling: toxic positivity. What is it? Why do people do it? Why is it unhelpful? And what is a good yard stick to use to determine when being positive about something helps, versus when it stops being constructive?

    Fairweather Allies?

    Join us in this week's conversation as we discuss the reality of post-Covid life, and the 'return to normal' that is starting to roll back a lot of well-intended efforts around diversity. Is it just about company culture? Or bigger things like politics and the economy? Probably a bit of both. Lawrence and I tackle what being an ally really needs to look like in our 'new normal,' and possibly on-coming recession.

    Anger Management

    Anger is universal: we all feel it, we all feel JUSTIFIED in feeling it, and we all have behaviors that are triggered by our anger. But what happens when our behavior when we are angry begins to cost us too much? Is it possible to manage our own anger? Is it possible to help someone else with theirs? Join me and Lawrence as we talk about all the versions -- work, family and ourselves.

    Navigating Conflict

    Join Lawrence and I as we discuss our own tricks and techniques not just for managing conflict, but for busting ourselves when we catch ourselves avoiding it. As usual, we both figure out a couple of useful things to keep in mind.
