Important conversations and encouraging words to help you make every day a great one. Perfect Like Me (00:00) Perfectionism is often linked to discussions about anxiety, and it can be a fast track to unhappiness. Author Dana Bowman has experience struggling with perfectionism, alcoholism, and a relapse. She’s written about her experiences to help encourage others who might be struggling with similar issues. She has a book titled, How to be Perfect Like Me. Ms. Bowman is also an adjunct professor in the department of English at Bethany College in Kansas. Exercising as a Way of Life (18:39) Jill Kaufusi is a certified personal trainer, owner of The Station Fitness Studio, mother to 4 children and 1 dog. She owns and operates “jillkfitness,” is certified in fitness nutrition, and uses her knowledge and experience to help women find their inner and outer strength with online personal training, monthly fit blasts, and in-person group and personal training. Hair Myths (33:09) Michelle Lindsey and Lisa talk about common mistakes and misconceptions about hair. Post-Traumatic Growth (50:43) All of us go through adversity. It changes us, for better or for worse. Some people report feelings of PTSD after their experience. But some fascinating results from a longitudinal study by the RISK project show that the survivors of Hurricane Katrina experienced incredible change and resilience, or what researchers call post-traumatic growth. Dr. Jean Rhodes joins us to explain how what doesn’t kill us can make us stronger and how our ability to bounce back from disaster can help save the environment. When a Pet Dies (1:07:11) For many, the death of a pet means losing a family member. It is usually the first death a child will encounter in life. Gail Melson, Ph.D., joins us to discuss how we can help our children deal with pet death and loss. Procrastination (1:26:02) If you’ve ever felt like you work better with short deadlines, you’re not alone. Dr. Meng Zhu, an associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, was part of a team that designed a study to show that longer deadlines lead people to think a task is harder than it really is—and to commit more time and money to the job. So if you want to save your resources, you’re probably better off with a short deadline than a long one.
