We often think the secret to not being passive in our lives is to fill up our days, set countless goals, always be striving for progress and productivity. What if we told you the secret was slowing down? In today's episode I am joined by Caroline and Ann Catherine from Girls with Goals as we discuss: 
What it beens to be passive vs. active vs. intentional
How to create momentum 
Why big, long term goals aren't the secret to success 
How to develop a healthier relationship with yourself and your spare time

The Stanford Prison Experiment is one of the most famous studies in psychology, but also one of the most controversial. In this bonus episode, we look at what actually happened in the basement of Stanford University in 1971.

We explore:
The landscape of psychological research at the time of the study
How participants were selected and assigned roles
The theatrical procedure of the study
The unexpected outcomes and why it was stopped early
Ethical lessons around consent and researcher responsibility
Why the study is so influential to our understanding of institutions, power and authority

462. The truth about the Stanford Prison Experiment 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/dacee617-26fd-4c83-ab29-b4d200adf8c7/transcript

If I could sit down with my 21-year-old self, there are a few things I would definitely want to say. Today, I'm going to say them, like 'don't even THINK about moving in with that guy, use your savings account, care less about grades' and a few more. I also asked you guys, the listeners, about your biggest regrets from your early 20s so we can all learn from each other (how nice is that).

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We discuss:
Why the right relationship should expand your life, not shrink it
Why you shouldn’t rush into adulthood
Financial avoidance and learning to actually save
Why audacity can matter just as much as hard work
Caring less about grades and more about experience
Why nobody can tell you exactly how to live your 20s

Happy listening and drop yours below!

461. 10 things I NEEDED 21 year old me to know

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/5a7794ea-7755-4884-8108-b4cf00873585/transcript

Many of us are conditioned to believe that being described as kind, nice, accommodating and generous are the key to overall happiness. But when these traits veer into Good Girl Syndrome, we can be left with a pathological need to please others, be hypervigilant towards others’ emotions, and ultimately suppress how we really feel. In this episode, we explore the origins of Good Girl Syndrome, understand the mental and physical cost of emotional suppression, and learn how to challenge this early social conditioning. 

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We unpack:
Why women are particularly vulnerable to Good Girl Syndrome
How trying to be liked shows up personally and professionally
The link between a high score on the Silencing the Self Scale and depression
Why it can be harder to break Good Girl habits as we get older
The ways we can challenge Good Girl Syndrome traits
