The PurposeGirl Podcast: Empowering women to live their purpose with courage, joy, and fierce self-love.

We spend a significant percent of our waking hours at work, and yet, too many of us feel undervalued and underappreciated at work. It's well documented that when employees are happier and feel valued, they perform better and retention is higher, but many employers aren't conscious of this, or if they are, they don't know what to do about it. Fortunately, the field of positive psychology holds a lot of answers, and my guest is the perfect person to share this knowledge with us. Senia Maymin is a dear friend, a close colleague, and a mentor. She has a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and her Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior from Stanford, is a consultant and executive coach working with clients like Google, Intel, and VMware, and coaches entrepreneurs and executives on building confidence and creating successful teams, writes for a wide range of media outlets, founded, edits, and is the chief of research for Positive Psychology News Daily, and is the most get-it-done woman that I've ever met! Senia shares a little of her background and some of the work that led to the writing of her book, Profit From The Positive. She and a colleague, Margaret Greenberg, had each been coaching a number of executives and entrepreneurs, and they began to realize that they were seeing patterns in the struggles and questions of their clients. They decided to conduct a number of interviews to dive deeper into this, and they asked what their biggest business burning questions were. Many said they wanted to know how they could get the mostout of their people, and Senia and Margaret felt this was the wrong way of thinking about it. Instead, better questions would be, "How can we get the bestout of our people? How can we bring our people to be their best?" From these interviews and their own research they learned so many important truths about how to maximize positivity and success in the workplace, including how crucial it is for employees to feel valued. We discuss strengths, and Senia poses three questions for you to ponder to help you begin to identify your own strengths. Research is very clear that by using your strengths every day you'll be happier and more productive, so understanding your own strengths is fundamental to leading a more fulfilled life. To go much deeper into strengths, you can take the Values In Action (VIA), a free questionnaire created by two of the founders of Positive Psychology; you'll find a link below. Senia and I share a number of questions that we ask our coaching clients to help get at their deeper truths and allow them to share more of themselves, we talk about the concept of "struggling well," and Senia shares her thoughts on how people can take action on their dreams, which is different for different people. We discuss the idea put forth by Martin Seligman, the founder of Positive Psychology, that we are called to the future, drawn by our future self, we are motivated every day to take action based on what our future self wants us to do. To me, this boils down to purpose, that if we think about the highest and best self that we can possibly be, then we're going to take a different action in this moment. We end with Purpose Power Tips on how you can immediately go into your own workplace and start being the champion of positivity and profitability, and for you to do and feel better and be more successful.

What are you truly, deeply passionate about? Some of us have ready answers to this, but others have suppressed their desires, have buried them away because they've been taught that one's passions aren't nearly as important as other things, like having a successful career. Many people believe that once they're very successful, once they amass wealth, they'll be happy. But more than 100 research studies prove conclusively that the opposite is true: When we are happy, we are more successful! When we follow our passions and do those things that nourish us and make us happy, it carries over to other aspects of our lives, including our work life. When I was in college I was passionate about two very different things: event planning and creative writing. But my idea of event planning was mocked, and I was told that writers don't make any money. And so I put those passions away. I hear similar stories from so many of my clients who, when they were little girls, were told that their passions were foolish or wrong. And when this happens, our brains bury these passions and tries to forget them. This is a defense mechanism, and I explain the evolutionary biology reasons for this. Bob Vallerand, the premier researcher on passion, defines passion as a strong inclination towards an activity that people like, that people find important, and in which they invest their time and their energy. I expand that definition to "activity or cause." He says that passions become a self-defining activity. So, you don't just run, you're a runner. I walk you through a few exercises to help you remember your passions, which you most likely knew when you were little, before you buried them away. Next I define purpose and explain how passion and purpose are so closely connected. Passions help us understand our purpose. Purpose is the active, unique impact you make on the world. You may have many passions. Your purpose often is in enacting that, being that, being your full self. Mihaly Csikszentmihaly defines flow as when you are so engaged in an activity that you lose track of time, you're "in the zone." When we're passionate about something we go into flow, we're willing to give up our precious free time for it. Hopefully, as you listen to this episode, you're getting more clear on your own passions. I talk about some of my own passions, which were evident even when I was a young girl, and how I've incorporated them into my purpose, into my actions. People who live their passions harmoniously are happier, healthier, and more successful overall. To help you with your passions, I leave you with Purpose Power Tips.

Too often, women feel a sense of competition with other women and tear each other down instead of supporting each other. Today I have the pleasure of interviewing my dear friend, and a genuine inspiration to me and countless others, Caroline Adams Miller, an expert in, among other things, utilizing positive psychology research to help people find success, and how we as women can support and uplift each other. When Caroline was young she struggled with competition with other women. Her awareness of unhealthy competition among women continued over the years, and as she spoke with more and more women, she learned that every women seems to have had experiences of other women tearing them down or engaging in forms of unhealthy competitiveness with them. There are many reasons why women engage in this unhealthy competition with each other. For some, it's driven by jealousy. For others it's scarcity theory, the fear that there's only "one seat at the table," or that there isn't enough success to go around. For others it might have a cause rooted in evolutionary biology. And for others, watching another woman go after her dreams in a big way triggers FOMO, a Fear Of Missing Out. Caroline shares research that says that 84% of women confess to being surrounded by "frenemies," friends who are really enemies, and women often keep these people around out of fear of standing out and standing up for themselves. But keeping them in your life is a huge danger, because they bring you down and make it much more likely that you'll give up on going after your dreams. Research by Shelly Gable at UCLA on Active Constructive Responding teaches us that the way people around us respond to us greatly increases the chances that we'll abandon our goals or interpret our progress as negative. We need to be much more selective and intentional about who we allow into our "inner circle." The people who are "in" should be the people who are enthusiastic about our dreams, our goals, and our ideas. We also discuss Adam Grant's book, Give and Take, and what we can learn from it about giving to others, and the concept of "relational grit," which Caroline and Lee Waters, the current president of the International Positive Psychology Association, have come up with. Caroline and I are both huge supporters of dialogue with other like-minded women, participation in masterminds to uplift each other and support each other's efforts towards goals, and we talk about the importance of developing these support systems. As Caroline learned more about this issue she eventually came to the point where she decided that talking about it wasn't enough; she needed to DO something about it! So she came up with a multi-pronged approach drawing on Shelly Gable's research on Active Construcive Responding and on Peter Gollwitzer's work on implementation intentions (which involves creating if-then scenarios to prompt you to do things that are difficult for you). Caroline has created a simple way for women to uplift other women, which she calls Share 2 To 2. Every week, Caroline shares the successes of two women, each on two different social media platforms, and she uses the hashtag, #Share222. She often doesn't know the women she uplifts personally; she finds them on LinkedIn, or on some other platform, and shares their successes with others. She firmly believes that by uplifting other women and highlighting their successes, there will be more women at the table in positions of authority, and there will be less of an effect of scarcity theory, less fear from some women of other women succeeding, and it will be a positive spiral. I end with a few Purpose Power Tips, including learning about Active Constructive Responding, using the hastag #Share222, and "I'll have what she's having!" Click here to learn more about the summit in Melbourne, Australia, in July 2019, in which Caroline will be participating with the founder of Appreciative Inquiry as they explore, using the tools of positive psychology, how women can uplift and inspire other women in the best possible ways. To learn more about Shelly Gable's work on Active Constructive Responding, here's an article summarizing it, and here's her original research.

No matter what we've been through, no matter what kinds of traumas we've experienced, no matter what we hear in the news, we can always regain hope. When crappy things happen – and they most certainly will – we have a number of choices in what we do. Positive psychology, the science of happiness and human flourishing, offers us a number of practical, effective strategies that we can employ to keep going, to grow, and to thrive, and to regain our hope. I begin with a discussion of the relationship between goals and hope, and how goals start in the mind while hope starts in the heart, with emotions. Both are vital, but hope should precede goals. Hope is the igniter for all of your goals. According to Hope Theory (by C. R. Snyder), hope gives us motivation and strategies towards our goals. It's normal, and healthy, to feel down, to feel hopeless, to drown yourself in Ben and Jerry's, for a while. But you can't stay there. You need to move through it. And all you need is the tiniest bit of hope, the realization that things can get better, that the world can be a little brighter. I offer concrete examples from women with whom I've worked, women who felt hopeless and in whom I helped cultivate a renewed feeling of hope. I share a story about Dr. Chris Feudtner, who works with terminally ill children in palliative care at CHOP in Philadelphia, and how he and his staff help the families of these children find something to be hopeful about. I share the heartbreaking and awe-inspiring story of Karla Jacinto, a victim of human trafficking who survived years of horror and still rebuilt her hope in the world. She now uses her experiences as fuel to fight for others. Hope gives us motivation, agency, and strategies. Drawing from this example, I consider what strategies I can come up with to rebuild my own hope in a troubled world. I introduce the concepts of pessimistic thinking styles and optimistic thinking styles, how to shift from the former to the latter, and why this is so important. Adopting an optimistic thinking style is crucial to overcoming hopelessness and to developing and implementing strategies to move our lives forward, and I end with a few Purpose Power Tips to help you nurture an optimistic thinking style. Also, I mention my 4-week Living On Purpose course, which you can learn about here. If you'd like to learn more about pessimistic and optimistic thinking styles, check out Dr. Seligman's book, Learned Optimism, available at Amazon here.

So many women have fears around money, their ability to make and manage money, and their relationship to money in general, and these fears often serve as a block to truly living a life of purpose. On today's podcast I am thrilled to welcome a very special guest, Tonia Gaudiuso, an expert in money management and the relationship that women in particular have with money. Tonia begins by addressing a very challenging and current issue in wealth management and gender equity: The pay gap. Part of the issue is that women need to learn to ask for what they want and what they deserve. There's a fear of rejection, but hearing "No" means that you went for it! Also, many women have feelings of shame around money, fear that they don't know how to manage it appropriately. In addition, studies have shown that men negotiate raises far more often than women; they tend to ask for what they want more often, and if you don't ask for something you're not likely to get it. In Tonia's experience, a major reason why women don't ask is a lack of clarity on what it is that they actually desire. What's the dollar amount that they really want? And a closely related issue is, how much do they value their own time away from work, perhaps their time with family? Once they have clarity around these issues they can ask confidently for what they truly want. When Tonia helps women determine what to ask for in negotiations, she often alleviates deep-seated fears that what they need in order to have the lifestyle they want is too much to ask for, but with all the advertising and messages in the media telling us about all sorts of expensive things we need in order to live a happy life, Tonia helps women realize what they actually need in order to live the life they want, and far more often than not, it's less than they think. Next we discuss the idea of the "money story." Everyone has a story about money and their relationship to it that, for some, plays in the background and we're not fully aware of it, and for others, we're very conscious of it, but in either case, it has a strong influence on our actions. This money story is formed in part by the messages that bombard us, and in part from our upbringing. We need to get clear on our own money story before we can understand what will make us happy. Money is simply a tool that allows us to do certain things. What is it that we want the money for, and how will that make us happy? What is our relationship to money? What are the stories that we have about money, and how can we frame them in positive ways? Tonia helps her clients think thorough all of these questions and many more when they come to her for help around their finances. She helps them with basic knowledge, but more than that, she helps with their mindset, beliefs, and emotions around money. And Tonia shares with us a very interesting way to reframe our way of thinking about money, explaining why money is love and gratitude!

The primary definition of "goddess" is typically given as a "female deity." But the term is also defined as being a woman of extraordinary beauty and charm, or a greatly admired or adored woman. With that meaning in mind, shouldn't we see ourselves and other women as goddesses? To say that we are divine, sacred, holy, does not have to mean that we are better than other women; we could and should see all women as sacred. And we can look to some of the great goddesses of antiquity to see the facets of the divine in ourselves. From Aphrodite to Artemis to Kali and Lakshmi and more, I discuss some of the characteristics of a number of goddesses, their particular talents and gifts that they offered the world as a part of their own purpose, and how we as women have a sacred purpose of our own. By learning to value our own talents and strengths, we can start to see the divine in ourselves and treat ourselves like the goddesses we truly are. Everyone, regardless of gender, has traits that are considered masculine and traits that are considered feminine, and both kinds are important. However, we live in a male-dominated society that undervalues the feminine traits and overvalues the masculine traits. Plus, women are bombarded with images and messages in the media that hold up a certain idea of beauty that is unattainable for just about every woman, which only serves to demoralize women and make us feel even less attractive, less worthy. But we get to flip that. We get to decide that we are goddesses worthy of adoration and admiration. We have a choice. We can choose what messages to internalize. And as I often do, I end this episode with Purpose Power Tips. During this episode I referred to an upcoming retreat in Greece, which you can learn about here.

As women we thrive, we flourish, in sisterhood. We need close connection with other women. For centuries women have worked closely with each other and supported each other, we've raised each other's children, it's in our nature. And yet, today, far too many women crave that connection and feel so isolated. We compare ourselves to and compete with other women instead of lifting up other women, and we hide behind computer and phone screens. But it's natural for women to come together with other women, especially in times of stress. In fact, recent research has shown that when stressed, women secrete oxytocin, known as the "cuddle hormone," which, from an evolutionary biology standpoint, counters the fight-flight response and encourages and allows us to protect our children and to come together with other women for support. This is known as "tend and befriend." A number of research studies have shown that the more close girlfriends a woman has, the less likely she is to develop certain ailments as she ages, and the more likely she is to have positive outcomes from certain types of cancer. One of the special things that happens when women come together in sisterhood is that we share our truth, we really open up and share our deepest feelings. And when we share our truth, our sisters hold us and embrace and support us, and we really need this in our lives. Research is clear that the number one predictor of happiness is having close relationships. So, where is sisterhood in your life? Who are the women you can count on, you can open up to, you can call at 3 in the morning if you need to talk? If you're not sure, then get working on it! Find a women's group that you can join, maybe a MeetUp, ask friends if they know of a women's group in the area, go on a retreat with women… Find some powerful container, a safe space for you to be your true self with other women who will support you. I've seen time and time again that women who choose to be in sisterhood accelerate their success in so many ways. Having a close group of women who say, "I hear you, I see you, I'm with you, and I believe in you," who hold each other higher – this is incredibly powerful. Practice being the sister to other women that you want them to be for you. Make it a daily practice to compliment another woman. When we see other women being awesome, get in the habit of letting them inspire us instead of feeling like we need to compete with them. Uplift other women, because as we help other women reach their goals, we all rise higher.

We hear stories of famous people, celebrities, people we think must have a great life and must be happy, committing suicide. Within the span of a few days, Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain both took their own lives. Their suicides are no more tragedies than the suicides of all the people we've never met, all the people who don't make it on tv and in the newspapers, but they highlight the tragedy in a way that only the suicide of a celebrity can do. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that each year approximately one million people die from suicide, which represents a global mortality rate of 16 people per 100,000 or one death every 40 seconds. It is predicted that by 2020 the rate of death will increase to one every 20 seconds. (Wikipedia) My guest, Lisa Lapidus, LICSW, PIP, is passionate about working with clients on personal growth, in both individual and group sessions. She has worked in private agencies as well as in school-based settings and wilderness programs. Having completed extensive studies in the Grief Recovery Method, she specializes in helping others work through grief and loss. Ms. Lapidus finds it most rewarding to help her clients replace self-loathing with self-love and to move from "I can't" to "I can." She emphasizes a family systems approach, believing we are all connected – that what happens to one individual in a family or community affects us all. Her areas of specialization & interests are: Individual and personal growth, grief and loss, fitness and well-being, child development, parenting, family of origin issues, adult children of alcoholics, codependency, relationship issues, adolescents, and ADHD. One of the major factors contributing to the high rates of depression and suicide is isolation. Despite the ubiquity of so many forms of instant communication, many people feel more and more isolated. We spend more time connecting electronically and less time with face-to-face encounters, more time liking each other's posts and less time hugging a friend hello. In addition, we've given more and more weight to our own appearance on social media, making sure that we look perfect and that our lives look perfect, and in essence we're putting on a mask that prevents others from truly seeing us and makes it harder to really connect with others. And underneath it all, what we really need to do is love ourselves. We need to learn to truly accept ourselves for who we are and love ourselves deeply. Lisa addresses the nature-nurture characteristics of depression, and for many people suffering from depression it's more important to treat the symptoms than to try to figure out exactly why it's happening. For some there may be an organic reason for the depression and appropriate medical attention is certainly necessary, but medication alone may just numb the symptoms, whereas learning to live with depression is critical. The inability to recognize – and properly handle -- grief in our own lives is another important factor influencing depression, and Lisa discusses the Grief Recovery Method, one of her favorite tools for working with grief. Lisa stresses the importance of speaking openly with people whom you think might be contemplating suicide, and when doing so, being specific. Don't be afraid to come out and ask if they're thinking of killing themself. The communication needs to be open and frank. We end with a discussion on what to do if you suspect that a child in your life is depressed and considering suicide. During this discussion, Lisa recommends the book, How To Talk So Kids Will Listen And How To Listen So Kids Will Talk, which you can find at Amazon, and she shares the useful acronym SLAP as it pertains to assessing someone's risk.

Years ago, when I first started thinking about leaving my corporate career and starting my own business, I was filled with doubt, insecurity, and a LOT of fear, and this is all very common. In fact, fear of failure in entrepreneurs has been studied for decades, and it very clearly has a negative impact on entrepreneurial activity and success. This fear of failure is often tied to a deeper fear that we'll be ashamed if we aren't successful, that we'll feel shame around our struggles and setbacks, and this can be paralyzing to the point that we never actually get started. The most important thing, more than your knowledge or your actual product or service, is your mindset. It's the willingness to take a leap of faith and stick with it, it's perseverance, it's belief in yourself. And you need to think deeply about your own relationship with fear and how it impacts you, how you let it impact you. Research has shown that your brain perceives stress and excitement in very similar ways, and that it isn't so much the stress but how you deal with the stress, how you interpret it and give meaning to it, that determines whether your body has greater adverse physiological reactions to it, and I share ways to re-envision stress and fear and shift it to the positive. In starting your own business, you must be clear on your purpose, your passion, your "why" driving it all. I talk a lot about purpose, and purpose should be the driving force behind your new venture. And you should dream BIG! Too often we think, "What if this goes nowhere, what if I fail, what if no one wants to buy what I have to offer?" Try balancing that out by going in the other direction. What if your venture is wildly successful, what if you end up on Shark Tank, what if your book becomes a best seller? For most people, the reality will be somewhere in between. And there is an enormous body of research supporting the importance of visualization to successful performance. Top athletes practice visualizing hitting home runs, or skiing down a particular slope in a particular way, or shooting free throws. Finally, I talk about the importance of having a group of people around you who support and cherish your dream and will cheerlead you as you launch your venture, whether that's friends, a coach that you hire, a mentor, or a mastermind you join. And as I often do, I end with a few Purpose Power Tools. At the end of this episode I offer free 30-minute discovery calls for those who would like to explore their dreams, who need help figuring out next steps. Email me at carin@carinrockind.com!

What is power? What does it mean to be empowered? In order to be powerful, do we need to have power oversomeone else? There are too many examples of people forcefully exerting dominance over others, but is this really power, or does it truly stem from a feeling of weakness? We should be striving for power steeped in strength and confidence and competence, not in domination. I discuss Dr. Robert Firestone's concept of personal power, which is grounded in mastery of one's self, not mastery over others. It's based on our own competence, our vision, our positive personal qualities, and our service. And to become empowered women we need to get clear on these things for ourselves. We also need to examine where we give away our own power, where we have "power leaks." Dr. Kim Cameron at The University of Michigan talks about energizers, the people in an organization who energize the group, and therefore who other people want to work with. These people create higher productivity in their team, and what's so interesting is that the energizers aren't always those with "higher" titles or job positions. True power is influence, influence from the best parts of ourselves, not power over people. And as I often do, I end with a few Purpose Power Tools.
