    234: Tiffany Sauder on Dual Career Families: Can You Really Have It All Without Sacrificing What Matters Most?

    What does laundry have to do with giving yourself the space to love & serve and not just do?
    An awful lot, according to CEO, Keynote Speaker, and Scared Confident Podcast Host, Tiffany Sauder.
    Tiffany is an expert in how to actually live your existence, not just manage it. She helps high-achievers have a space where they can love and serve, not just do.
    In today’s episode, Tiffany joins Erin to explain the moment when she decided to demand to love her days, her own personal journey to rebuilding the systems that ran her life, and why we cannot live an eternally additive existence.
    Tiffany shares the one thing that you may be forgetting about that could make your life so much easier: affordable outsourcing.
    If you’re looking for ways to work (and live) smarter, not harder – this is the episode for you.
    Special sprinkles on top of this episode: what “Change Moments” are and what it means to be “wired to do something.”

    233: In a World Filled with Distractions, How Can You Live with an Expansive Mind? Nate Klemp Answers

    233: In a World Filled with Distractions, How Can You Live with an Expansive Mind? Nate Klemp Answers

    Nate Klemp, PhD, is a writer, philosopher, and entrepreneur. Most recently, Nate is the author of the new book OPEN: Living with an Expansive Mind in a Distracted World. The book explores how screen addiction and political polarization have closed the modern mind. Using new science, age-old practices, and life experiments, Open investigates tools we can use to cultivate a more open mind.
    In today’s episode, Nate joins Erin to discuss what it means to open ourselves up to the other side, to really try to experience for ourselves the opposing belief system, and what that can create.
    Nate explains why he never experienced politics the same way after writing Open, what he means by “behavioral architecture” and “dopamine dessert,” and why overindulgence might be the answer sometimes.
    If you’re looking for a mindset shift on what it means to be curious in a world that banks on certainty and distraction addiction – this is the episode for you.
