New Episode: Am I Limiting Myself?

In this episode, we explore four kinds of capacity emotional, cognitive, structural, and identity and what happens when our inner world starts to outgrow the systems and stories we built in earlier seasons of our lives.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, restless, or quietly evolving, this episode is a gentle but honest invitation to check in with yourself.

You are exactly enough.

Something’s happening to the air between us. You can feel it—in conversations that escalate too fast, in rooms that feel tense for no clear reason, and in the fatigue we carry from just being around other people.

We don’t just think independently—we feel collectively. Our emotions are contagious. And lately, a lot of us are catching feelings faster than we’re catching understanding.

In this new episode of the Life Sculptors Podcast, I talk about what’s happening beneath that tension—the emotional climates that influence how we show up for each other.

Drawing from community psychology and my book Developing a Durable Mind, I unpack why so many of us are experiencing collective fatigue, how emotional contagion works, and what it means to create a healthier climate in our homes, workplaces, and communities.

You don’t have to control the room to change it. You just have to model what it’s missing.

Have you ever looked around and realized a part of you has gone missing? Not your hat, but your confidence. Your peace. Your voice.

In this episode of the Life Sculptors Podcast, I read I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen and reflect on what happens when we lose ourselves trying to belong—and how we begin finding our way back.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve drifted from who you are, this conversation is for you. It’s not about shame; it’s about returning.

Are you stuck in a situationship? In this episode, we unpack what situationships really are, how breadcrumbing keeps us hooked, and why settling for less slowly hollows us out.

Using Creepy Crayon by Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown as our starting point, we’ll connect Jasper’s spooky story to real-life patterns of compromise, codependency, and unhealthy love.

You don’t have to live on crumbs. You were made for clarity, consistency, and wholeness.

Why do we call certain behaviors “bad”? Most of the time, it’s because they make us uncomfortable, disrupt the status quo, or don’t fit into what’s considered “acceptable.” But what if “bad” isn’t the end of the story? What if it’s actually the beginning of something new?

In this episode of the Life Sculptors Podcast, we read Bad Bunny by Jonathan Bentley and explore the deeper purpose behind behaviors and attitudes that get dismissed as “bad.” From listening to behavior as communication, to the tension between compliance and conviction, to how cultures define “acceptable” differently — we’ll uncover how reframing “bad” can unlock hidden strengths and make space for difference.

What if empathy isn’t about agreeing, but about being present? In this Life Sculptors episode: "What is Empathy?", we take a playful children’s book and turn it into a powerful reflection on adult connection. When I Was an Alligator by Gayle Webre becomes our launchpad into an honest, challenging conversation about what it means to see the world through someone else’s eyes—and how “what if I were you?” is more transformative than “if that was me.” Curious. Grounded. Present. That’s how we grow. Tune in now and imagine your way back into connection. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this reminder: You are exactly enough.

We all hit those moments when the future feels foggy and uncertain — not because we’ve failed, but because life is shifting in ways we didn’t expect or choose. In this episode - How to Live Through Uncertainty, we explore how to navigate that uncertainty with wisdom, grace, and courage. Drawing from research on uncertainty tolerance, real-life experiences, and the honest reflections of those who’ve walked through liminal spaces, we ask: What does it look like to keep going even when you don’t have clarity? Can the road ahead unfold because we move — not just after we’ve figured everything out? How do we honor the pain of uncertainty without rushing to resolve it? You’ll also hear practical steps for navigating the unknown, and why small, courageous choices matter more than perfect plans. This episode isn’t about quick fixes or easy answers. It’s about learning to walk with the unknown — and discovering that not knowing doesn’t mean you’re lost.
