About this episode
Create a Happier and Healthier Life by Embracing the Art of Self-Awareness! Frazzled? Unfocused? Emotionally dysregulated? Although we want to be stable and caring partners, parents, employees, bosses, and friends, it's easy to get stuck in unproductive patterns and erratic behaviors that seem beyond our control. And despite our inborn capacities and environmental influences, we expect ourselves to naturally have excellent focus, time management skills, and emotional intelligence. Yet, in truth, human issues–including neurodiversity and environmental influences–can make it tough (or seemingly impossible) to handle life's myriad tasks and stressors with ease. In fact, most of us can benefit from support and guidance to learn the skills and strategies that will help us get out of our own way and maximize our capacities. Join Dr. Carla and neurodiversity expert Dr. Gretchen Pound for an uplifting journey into the art of using self-awareness to create a happier and healthier life. Topics discussed include focus, impulsivity, emotional regulation, anger management, self-awareness, mindfulness, stress tolerance, time management, self-confidence, emotional regulation, neurodiversity, ADHD, ASD (autism spectrum disorders), yoga, somatic awareness, breathing exercises, and mindfulness. Note: Listener discretion is advised as sensitive topics are discussed.
