You’ve heard the term work smarter, not harder, but is there any truth to it? Well, you’ve got to join me for the podcast today because I am going to unpack the research that proves working smarter is SO much SMARTER than working harder. It’s fascinating research, so let’s jump in! Show notes available at: www.drmelissasmith.com/episode-29

What does it mean to be an entrepreneur? Long days? Sleepless nights? High tolerance for risk? A freakish ability to ride the roller coaster of a start up? Or maybe it’s the freakish ability to stay on the ground when everyone else is riding that roller coaster? Well, one thing is for sure, being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart, and I’ve got a great guest with me today who is going to share with us his journey, and let me tell you, it’s a fun ride, so why don’t you join us?

Meetings, meetings and more meetings. If your average work day sounds anything like this, then you are just like millions of Americans. It has been researched (and I mean legitimately researched) and found that most people would rather watch paint dry, wait in line at the DMV and even have a root canal than sit in a status meeting. In today's episode I talk shop all about having more effective and efficient meetings. Let's jump in! Show notes available at: www.drmelissasmith.com/episode-27

End of another month means another book review! This month I'm reviewing Brené Brown's book for leaders, Dare to Lead. It's a must-read for leaders and I will explain why on my book review this week. Let's jump in! Show notes available at: www.drmelissasmith.com/episode-26

Today on the podcast I’m talking about a topic that many of us don’t like to admit may be getting in the way for us in our love and work. We may joke about it—oh, there’s plenty of jokes about this topic—but most of us aren’t actually dealing with it. To help me with this topic is one of my best friends, my partner in crime in our specialty clinic, Balance Health & Healing, and an all-around amazing psychologist, Dr. Anna Packard.   Show notes available at: www.drmelissasmith.com/episode-25
