When did you decide that: Maybe it's been true for long enough
One of the nice things about medicine is that we're expected to change our minds.
New evidence comes out. Guidelines get updated. Best practices evolve.
If someone proudly announced they were still practicing exactly the way they learned twenty years ago because "that's how I've always done it," ...

#100: One hundred Tuesdays. Thank you for spending them with us
Almost two years ago, we sent our first Weekly Boost.
We hoped it might make someone's Tuesday a little lighter.
Today is our 100th Tuesday.
One hundred little reminders that life doesn't have to be lived quite so hard.
Over these past hundred Tuesdays, we've shared a lot of ideas.
That peace isn...

Promotion denied: The best news you didn't know you needed
One of the sneakiest ways we make life harder than it needs to be is by accidentally taking responsibility for jobs that were never ours.
And we’re not talking about doing our teenager’s laundry for them.
We're talking about emotional jobs. The invisible ones we assign ourselves without even re...

The junk drawer effect: It's not just happening in your kitchen
Every house seems to have one. The junk drawer.
It's where random batteries, old gift cards, takeout menus, mystery keys, crusty rubber bands, and charging cables for devices you no longer own all end up.
Nobody sets out to create a junk drawer. It just becomes the place where things go when you ...

Stop grading with the answer key: Decisions and outcomes are not the same
Have you ever made a decision that felt right at the time, only to watch it turn out differently than you expected?
Most of us have.
Maybe it was a job that wasn't what you expected. A move that didn't solve the problem you hoped it would. A commitment you were excited about that ended up taking ...

Draft first, decide later: Give your frontal lobe a chance to join the conversation
Most of us don't realize we needed a pause until about ten minutes after we hit send.
The text is gone. The email is sent. The words are out in the world.
And then, like an annoyingly late friend, clarity finally arrives.
The trick isn't learning how to pause. The trick is noticing when you proba...

More isn't always better: Why scarcity and abundance can create the same result
Lately we've been thinking about a concept we come back to often in coaching: sufficiency.
It's the sweet spot between abundance and scarcity.
We tend to think abundance is always the goal. More time. More flexibility. More options. More resources.
But abundance has a sneaky downside.
When we bel...

The noise complaint: Loud and true are not the same thing
One of the weird things about being human is that our brains tend to confuse loud with important.
The loudest kid in the classroom. The loudest person in the meeting. The loudest comment on social media.
We all know those aren't automatically the wisest voices in the room.
Yet when it c...

We love an easy win: Here are ten of them
Summer felt like a good time to share a few of our favorite life hacks.
Nothing life-changing.
Just little things that make life feel a bit easier.
The driveway pause
Sit in your car for one minute before going inside. It turns out switching between doctor, mom, partner, and human is a real t...

The person you talk to most: Practice here, benefit everywhere
One of our members said something in group that really stuck with us.
She'd been working on validation.
Not because it comes naturally. Not because she's particularly good at it. But because she'd noticed something: it WORKS.
When she remembers to validate her child instead of arguing with the...

Come with me: What to do when part of you is afraid
Yesterday you were excited.
Today your brain has prepared a 47-slide presentation on why this is a terrible idea.
A new job.A move.A boundary.A project you've been thinking about for years.
Whatever the change is, your brain suddenly becomes very interested in all the reasons it might go badly.
W...

You wanted that too: The thing you don't have might not be evidence of failure
One of the reasons "should" thoughts can be so tricky is that sometimes they're pointing toward something you genuinely care about.
Take money, for example.
Maybe you've looked at your savings account, your retirement account, or your investments and thought, "I should have more saved by now."
