Stretch, Don't Settle

Whether you're looking for a romantic partner or searching for your next job opportunity, we're essentially talking about supply and demand. Having something to offer (aka being "marketable") is obviously important, but so is what we are thinking about our situation. One of my clients is a 47-year-old man who is changing jobs and my 20-year-old niece is single and looking for her next boyfriend. I'm struck by the similarities in their unconscious beliefs about themselves and the world, even...

Triggered

It seems like everywhere I go lately, there are trigger warnings. Trigger warnings on podcast episodes, trigger warnings on blog posts, trigger warnings on YouTube videos. I even overheard a woman who was about to confide something to another woman at my gym preface by saying "hashtag-trigger warning" before she started spilling.  Back in the day, we used to talk about pushing someone's buttons. Same deal. Only these days, it seems like a whole lot more people are getting a whole lot...

Watch Your Language

I love me some colorful, dramatic language. Witty banter, sarcasm, dry humor, gallows humor, all of it. What I don't love is how so many people make themselves totally stressed out without even being aware of it, simply because of the language they use to describe things. For example, have you ever noticed how often people, especially women, I'm sorry to say, describe a situation that was inconvenient, frustrating, maybe even somewhat infuriating as "horrific"? Or how about describing running...
