Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

• Can you talk with your subconscious? - w/ Jeff Bauhner

  The mind does a lot of things we are never aware of. You don't think about how you move or digest, your mind just does it in the background, You also can't witness all the self-sabotaging doors your mind keeps you locked up in. We all have our own battles that limit us. Maybe how we think about money, or relationships or our own value. Maybe we get nervous about situations and it's our nerves that actually cause the problem we are afraid of. Today guest Jeff Bauhner shares a radical idea for how to communicate with your subconscious processes and get them working in your favour. How can we talk to our subconscious? What should we change? Why do we keep overlooking our real problems? Jeff has a very relatable story that leads him to his work and shares some fun and potentially radical ideas. As a scientist myself I was skeptical about some of his proposals. I was equally excited about how he came to some similar conclusions I do recommend myself but with a very different pathway.

• The psychology of control - why your brain overcomplicates everything

  We all know smart people make dumb decisions. But why? Why do gamblers double down when they should walk away? Why do we check our phones 58 times a day? Why do people micromanage their partners and get confused when they become distant? We are all suckers for the illusion of control. We are convinced that our meddling is needed to achieve our desired outcome. Sadly this misses the important fact that we are causing all our problems. The episode covers all sorts of personal problems from addictions to relationships, investing to anger and how control is at the heart of our problems. Whether you are high on neuroticism or curious about how the mind works we have a tonne of good stuff: Recognize your "control triggers" – situations where your grip tightens and makes things worse Practice intentional surrendering in low-stakes situations to build your letting-go muscles Replace control with curiosity by asking "What happens if I don't try to fix this?" Learn to stop wrestling with life and start dancing with it.

• 7 habits of highly miserable people

  What if misery wasn’t something that happened to you—but something you unknowingly created? We all have habits that screw us over—whether it’s blaming others, scrolling mindlessly on Instagram, or convincing ourselves that “next week” is when we’ll finally start living. In this episode, I’m calling out the seven most toxic habits that keep people stuck in their own misery - they're probably (some) things you’re doing right now. I’ll break down why these habits exist, how society reinforces them, and what you can do to stop being your own worst enemy. Takeaways: Why waiting for “perfect” is the ultimate excuse for staying stuck. How playing the victim robs you of your power (and your future). The brutal truth about self-care—and why it’s not what you think. Ready to ditch the habits holding you back?

  Ever feel like life’s pulling you in a direction you didn’t choose? Like you’re paddling against a current, but the harder you try, the further you drift? From social media algorithms to career paths, we’re all caught in currents we barely notice. They can sweep us toward growth or drag us into chaos. Whether it’s influencers chasing clicks or careers locking us into identities we never wanted, these currents are everywhere. But here’s the good news: just like in the ocean, you can learn to spot them and decide which ones to ride. By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to navigate life’s most powerful force—momentum—and steer toward a future you actually want. Takeaways: How small decisions snowball into massive consequences (good or bad). Why blaming “the system” won’t save you—and what will? How to identify the “currents” shaping your decisions and behaviours. Once you see these currents, you’ll never look at your life the same way again.
