This week, Carly dives into what psychological safety really means — and how the original research has been misunderstood. Psychological safety was never about comfort or avoiding tough conversations. It was about creating environments where people can speak honestly, admit mistakes, and learn without fear of humiliation.

Carly also looks at how debate and disagreement used to be a normal part of university culture, and how the rise of avoidance and “safety = comfort” thinking is limiting young people’s resilience today.

She explores why growth requires discomfort, how real psychological safety supports honest dialogue, and how we can help young people thrive by leaning into challenge, not away from it.

In this episode, Carly explores the concept of anxiety and how we can approach it in a new way. She discusses the idea that anxiety isn't something to be eliminated, but rather a natural response to uncertainty and responsibility. Carly dives into the work of psychologist Rollo May, who saw anxiety as a signal that something matters. She explains how attentional control can help us break the cycle of anxiety and reconnect with life.
