We might associate our cognitive health with our memory, productivity, thinking, and energy levels, but what about our happiness? Our mood has EVERYTHING to do with our brain health. So what do top neuroscientists recommend for psychiatric issues?

We’re in an era of health hacks, from tracking our cycles, sleep, and steps, to tailored fitness regimens. But what about our brain health? Cognitive decline may not be top-of-mind for the under-50 crowd, but our paying attention to our brain health can change our lives right now, and in the long-term.

It becomes increasingly tough to keep in touch as we get older (seriously, has anyone in their 30s tried to plan a group hangout recently!?) but it’s extra hard if you’ve moved away. And add a different timezone in there? Good luck.

All of us have baggage, whether it’s from bad relationships, broken homes, friendship drama, or toxic work environments — and more often than not, these past traumas aren’t even our fault! But it’s still our job to manage how we allow these past problems to impact our relationships and experiences today.

There are few things we love more than food, and our favourite TV shows. Today, we’re serving both. In a quest to help everyone fall in love with cooking more, we’re chatting with iconic actress Tiffani Thiessen about her passion for food and upcoming cookbook.

Life is a long zig-zagging road, and it’s okay to pivot and try new routes along the way. And no one has exemplified how to reinvent yourself and pivot your career again and again more than today’s guest, Keltie Knight.

Want to work less and live more? Today we’re diving into some smart ways that you can start generating passive income, because we could all use a bit of extra cash right now, whether we’re working towards a big vacation, a dream home, or financial freedom from that 9-5 that we lowkey can’t stand. We’re done trading our time for money, so join us on our journey to work smarter, not harder.

Almost everyone we know is interviewing for a new job right now. Lay-offs are rampant, job dissatisfaction is at an all-time high, and the application process has gotten OUT OF CONTROL with so many rounds of interviews and case studies. In a sea of applicants, how do you stand apart?

To quote our generation’s thought leader, Britney Spears: “You wanna live fancy? Party in France? You better work.” But also, you better ask for fair compensation. Just thinking about asking for a raise makes us cringe, but no one else is going to do it for us, so tits up: It’s time to start advocating for ourselves.

Being a manager isn’t easy. (Seriously, just ask Mary Fitzgerald.) Leading a whole team of diverse humans with varying needs and goals can feel super overwhelming. So how do you confidently step into a management role and show others that you've got it figured out, even when you’re drowning in impostor syndrome? We got you.

So you survived the interview process and got the job, but what’s next? In this week’s Asking For a Friend, we’re tackling a question from one of our listeners that’s especially relevant now in the time of the Great Resignation: How do I crush it at a new job? With the added pressure of making a good impression and hitting the ground running, it can be hard to find your bearings and feel comfortable in a new environment. Luckily, Cailyn has been going through this exact experience after recently starting a new job, and she’s ready to spill the tea on how to start with a bang.

This week, we’re throwing it back to an episode that feels as relevant today as it was when we released it in 2020: navigating a layoff. With a looming recession, the volatile stock market, and sky-high interest rates, it seems like companies everywhere are laying off employees each time we log into LinkedIn — especially in the tech industry.

’Tis the season to set some hardcore boundaries, because they really are the key to living a less stressed, healthier, happier life.

And we got a game-changing rundown on how boundaries will change your life, with the incredible Melissa Urban, who literally wrote the book on boundaries, aptly called The Book of Boundaries. This is THE boundaries 101 crash course for anyone looking to overcome people-pleasing tendencies and improve their relationship with themselves, their family and friends, and in the workplace.

Just in time for the holiday season, we’re here to help you get back to being the social butterfly, conversational queen that you are. Because between the endless Zoom calls and virtual happy hours, a lot of us have lost the art of real conversation. So as we return to the office and real holiday parties, it’s about time we all brushed up on our social skills and learned how to carry a convo IRL.

We’ve talked about how to successfully network and interview for jobs, but what comes next when you do get the job, and you’re ready to move up? Climbing the corporate ladder is a whole other beast, but with our own years of experience, and tips from the experts, we have plenty of advice on how to make moves.

Our limiting beliefs get the best of us sometimes, and it’s something that so many of us struggle with in life and at work. The truth is, we can’t always trust the things we tell ourselves. Our brain pumps out around 6,000 thoughts per day and with that much going on, it’s bound to get a few things wrong.

So this week we called in Komal Minhas to help us develop the confidence and mindset skills to tap into our potential and get out of our own way. Komal is an executive coach, business strategist, interviewer, and resilience educator who coaches people to build successful businesses while improving their wellbeing and mastering their mindset.

Welcome to our first ever Asking For A Friend episode series, where we tackle your biggest questions and deep dive into our own personal experiences and expertise.

We’re kicking it off with a Q&A with Gill, all about how she pursued a career as a freelancer. With The Great Resignation and more demand for flexibility and remote work, working on contract has never been more popular (#youwontbreakmysoul).

Welcome back to Season 2 of Teach Me How To Adult! It feels like *everyone* is low-key on the job hunt right now, and it can be hella overwhelming to navigate the application process, craft the perfect resume and LinkedIn, slay your interview and negotiate the salary you deserve.

But don’t worry, we got you. We called in Talent Attraction expert, career coach, and your recruitment big sister, Emily Durham, aka Emily The Recruiter. Job hunting shouldn’t be a full-time job, and Emily breaks down everything that actually matters in the application process, how to answer the tough questions, and how to make a winning impression.

For the rest of the summer, we’re doing a Summer Rewind, re-releasing some of our must-listen episodes as we ramp up to the launch of season two. See you in September friends!

One of the things we’ve been hearing most for the last while (outside of “unprecedented times” and “You’re on mute!”) is that our friends and families are feeling hella burnt out right now.

And even though our lives have slowed down and become more minimal in some ways, life is picking back up again and there’s a lot more stress, expectation and pressure overall.
