The Self Help Antidote Podcast

Failure is not the enemy. In fact it may be a key to not only learning and performance, but engagement and satisfaction as well.

Why do we trade long-term success for short-term comfort? It’s called temporal discounting—and it might be the hidden force shaping your decisions. Don’t let quick comfort steal your future. Every choice is a vote for the life you’re building—start choosing the one your future self deserves. #Motivation #FutureSelf #MindsetShift #GrowthMindset #Leadership #SelfHelpAntidote #PersonalGrowth #LevelUp #BehaviorChange #MindsetShift #DecisionMaking #Neuroscience #SelfHelpAntidote #Leadership #PersonalGrowth https://www.theselfhelpantidote.com for more!

Often, when you feel stuck, it’s not a lack of commitment that’s stopping you. More likely, it’s just the opposite. It’s that you’re genuinely committed to two things that are in conflict with each other. Question is, what can you do to get yourself into action, and start moving forward? 

Making a point often comes at the expense of making a difference. It may serve our ego, but it doesn’t serve the relationship.

Drawing inspiration from Emile Durkheim, Jonathan Haidt, Marshall Rosenberg and Dr. Bernie Siegel, we explore how to stay grounded and emotionally regulated in high-stakes conversations without losing yourself, or the other person. We dive into the psychology behind emotional contagion and vicarious trauma, and how your presence, not your prescription, is often the most powerful gift you can offer. You’ll learn why advice often fails, how to recognize when you’re stealing someone’s power instead of supporting them, and what "naming it to tame it" really looks like in a real conversation. We’ll unpack the difference between sympathy and empathy, explore theory of mind, and show how non-violent communication and empathetic reflection can transform not only how we communicate, but how we believe in the people we’re speaking to. Because in a world full of noise, the most radical thing you can do… is listen. Visit us at: www.theselfhelpantidote.com
