Legacy. Such a heavy word to hold in your hand. But what does it actually mean? At its core, legacy is creating something that exists independently of you. And to do that, there comes a moment where – as a leader – you have to “trust.” Leaders are notorious firestarters. They light the spark and then tirelessly tend to the coals. But the tricky par…

Who else has had enough of toxic positivity? Life is hard; the trauma going on in our world is hard; the stuff happening in your individual world is hard; being IN TRANSIT is hard; transformation is hard. No one gets a free pass.

Last year’s Sex & Connection two-part series with Irene Fehr broke the internet. Ok, not in a Taylor-Swift-tickets-go-on-sale way but calibrated against my podcast stats. (And IN TRANSIT ranks top 5% globally, so it’s no slouch. Have I thanked you for listening yet? Keep reading because I will.) It’s no wonder the Sex & Connection duo were some of …

Hello, 2023! I have some big plans for you. After the past few years, you probably thought I’d tiptoe in like a mouse, but nah-ah; I’m coming in like a determined lion. Sure, I’m looking at you with a glossy, future-oriented gaze, full of hope, enthusiasm, and fresh-slate thinking. But not so fast, because I need to properly bid adieu to 2022 first…

Shame is a universal experience. At some point, we all feel it, and at every point, we try to avoid it. That’s why many high-achievers are also people-pleasers and perfectionists. And this pattern of exhausting behavior almost always erodes self-confidence because: 1) We’re not robots, nobody’s perfect, and we all make mistakes. 2) You’ll never ple…

Advent calendars give you a little treat to tide you over until the big treats. Paper chains let you break off a piece to visualize the shortened length that remains. And who hasn’t counted down the days, crossing them off with anticipation? Especially in the corporate context, when you know you’re leaving for a new job, that final stretch can feel…

Never, and I mean not once since the beginning of time, has a person who’s under duress calmed down as a result of being told to calm down. When someone you care about is exhibiting stress, instructing them to “just relax” is one of the worst things you can do. So, how can you be supportive and help bring them to the other side of the stress episod…

For weeks in 1987, Rick Astley’s song, “Never Gonna Give You Up” topped the charts in 25+ countries. It also won most major awards that year and dominated MTV and radio request lines. It had heavy competition. That same year, we were all doing Kylie Minogue’s “Loco-motion” or cranking up the volume on Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.…

Luke Skywalker and Yoda. Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan. The Karate Kid and Mr. Miyagi. Whether fictional or factual, every hero’s journey involves a knowledge acquisition phase followed by a distribution phase. It also frequently includes — at least at first — an underestimation by the protagonist about how much the mentor will change the trajecto…

“Listen. It’s nothing personal. It’s just business.” (Condescending smirk.) So goes the biggest lie ever told; a statement that’s often used as a permission slip to be ruthless. And almost always uttered by someone who holds power to make a decision that adversely impacts someone who doesn’t have power. If you blend your work with your passion, you…

I’m about to say the quiet parts out loud. You probably suspected it, but now, you’ll know for sure, and you might not like what you hear. What if I told you that exposing your kids to a few specific experiences could… DOUBLE their chances of heart disease or cancer, create a 7X higher likelihood of alcoholism, and increased their risk of attemptin…

Moving to a different country takes guts. Especially when the destination has a difficult reputation. But have you ever noticed how the same geographical regions are adversely targeted by the news? Red meat for their base. It’s against our natural bend to let our imaginations ruminate on the positive. Before our recent move to Switzerland, people w…

“Out of the mouths of babes.” A familiar saying that’s used by adults to express surprise when a child articulates something wise and sensible. Kids have a remarkable intuition that sometimes gets dulled as they age by society and grownups who encourage them to push it down. “Always be nice and polite.” “Don’t say that or talk back.” “Listen to you…

Many cultures revere their elders, with practices designed to demonstrate appreciation for those who are even slightly older. These rituals of respect become paramount to maintaining harmony between the generations. So then why is ageism still the most socially-condoned prejudice? A report from the World Health Organization indicates that one in tw…

We’re slowly recovering from the damaging loneliness felt globally throughout the pandemic. Think about it. Typically, we have two main places where we interact with others: work and home. Of course, many people live alone, work remotely, or do both. That’s why there’s a growing need to combat isolation by participating in a safe, consistent “third…

Studies show that ageism isn’t just socially, psychologically, and economically damaging, but it can also be harmful to your health. First proposed by Dr. Becca Levy, Stereotype Embodiment Theory hypothesizes that feeling “old” correlates with the toxic narratives we’re force-fed by society. Meaning, those aches and pains, slower gait, energy dips,…

Look around — and I don’t mean too far — and you’ll see what will inevitably be called, “The Great Short Circuit.” Everyone seems at their breaking point from two+ years of process overload. We’re trying to do too much with strained resources. And what happens to your computer when you have too many tabs open at the same time? Your operating system…

This scene is a staple in countless crime movies: Detectives in an office get collaborating over a complicated, weblike vision board of clues (which they add to as the case unfolds). They stare at this thing for months, even years, until finally, they have this eureka moment, “see it,” and solve the puzzle. That’s because when you write something d…
