278. The Gift with Edith Eger and Marianne Engle
As we go through life, we all have experiences, both positive and negative, that shape who we are. Sometimes, we focus too much on the negative experiences and start to think "why me?". In order to counter this negative spiral, we can choose to focus on the positive and use this to empower ourselves. Instead, ask yourself "what now?". You can improve your outlook on life by changing your mindset. This in turn will help free yourself from limiting beliefs, heal and move forward. With great admiration and gratitude, we welcome an inspiring mother-daughter duo, Dr. Edith Eger, and Dr. Marianne Engel who through their expertise as Clinical Psychologists, work together to promote healing, positivity, and personal growth. In this deeply personal, yet profound interview, we take a look at the learnings presented in the latest edition of Dr. Eger’s uplifting and actionable guide to healing, The Gift: 14 Lessons to Save Your Life. Paralleled by lessons from the book, we also learn about Edith’s courageous story of surviving Auschwitz and finding her path to freedom, as well as Marianne’s own experience as the child of an immigrant parent and holocaust survivor, navigating marriage and raising children. Focusing on overcoming adversity, relationships, giving up shame, and living with purpose, we bring you a powerful and thought-provoking episode that inspires you to take on any obstacles life presents. Listen and Learn:
The dangers of being a prisoner of your own mind
Survivor vs. victim mindset
Why Marianne is grateful to her mother for shielding her from her painful past
What drew both Edith and Marianne to the field of clinical psychology

Why quarterlife can be a time of "crisis" for some people, and how it can be viewed as an opportunity for psychological growth

273. A More Just Future with Dolly Chugh
Doing social justice work of any kind, whether it's in our homes with their families or out in the world causes us to encounter uncomfortable feelings like confusion, shame, guilt, and overwhelm. But, according to Dolly Chugh, the author of a powerful new book, A More Justice Future, it isn't a problem to have those emotions; it's more a question of what should we do with them? Join the conversation with Dolly to gain insights into our wired-in biases, our natural emotional responses to reckoning with a painful past and present, and science-backed tools to use our responses more skillfully to build a more just future. About Dolly Chugh: Dr. Dolly Chugh is an award-winning social psychologist at NYU Stern School of Business where she studies bounded ethicality, or what she calls the psychology of good people. In 2018, she delivered a popular TED talk, “How to Let Go of Being a Good Person and Become a Better Person.” She is the author of The Person You Mean to Be, which offered the argument that the more we believe we are already good people, the harder it is to become better people. And her new book, which we are here to discuss, is A More Justice Future.Listen and Learn:
The power of learning to pronounce one another’s names
The paradox of the narrative around American pioneers, like the Laura Ingalls Wilder family
The value of being a lifelong “unlearner”
How principles from acceptance and commitment therapy can help us reckon with the past
How to unhook from the dominant cultural narratives to capture greater accuracy and more helpful nuance
How studies of home team bias and group identity in sports help us understand that bias is wired into us as part of being human
How Dolly understands the controversy around Critical Race Theory
Different narratives around history, and what are the most useful kinds of narratives to adopt.
What is a paradox mindset and how to practice having one
How stories we tell about our history problematically obscure how change happens
The power of a growth mindset in doing social justice work
How to build more nuance into some of our cultural fables (and why we should)
The fable of Dolly's own life that she's worked to introduce nuance into

272. Middle School Matters with Phyllis Fagell
Parenting books and research on kids often lump middle schoolers together with young elementary school kids or older adolescents. This obscures the fact that middle school is its own distinct phase.
