Dealing with pushy salespeople, difficult coworkers, or everyday drama can test your patience. Luckily, I’ve got a few assertiveness tricks that actually work.

You can’t grow if you don’t know. Self-awareness means noticing your patterns, owning your triggers, and catching yourself before you say “I’m fine” when you’re clearly not.

Everyone loves compliments, right? If you deflect praise, downplay it, or assume someone is just trying to get on your good side, it might be a sign of something deeper.

Your childhood plays a part in how you handle failure. If mom swooped in to “fix” everything or dad just stood there disappointed, you never learned to manage failure.

How do you handle rejection? Are you a hardcore pessimist? Some signs of low EQ stand out—but others are subtle enough to pass as quirks.

After 25+ years of studying human behavior, we’ve learned a thing or two. If you’re into honest, slightly sassy life advice backed by psychology, this blog is definitely for you.

Being positve all the time isn’t easy—in fact, it’s pretty much impossible. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a smiley-face sticker in human form. It’s about balance, not bliss.

Don’t you love it when people give you truly useless advice—like, “If you don’t want to be depressed, just be happy!” In this blog, I unpack some of the worst “wisdom” I’ve ever heard. It’s so bad, it almost feels like rage-bait.

You might think you’re being friendly, helpful, or just honest—but some habits quietly cross the line. These are the social faux pas worth rethinking.

We treat selfishness like a sin—but what if a little self-priority is healthy? Ignore the guilt. There’s data showing putting your needs first sometimes isn’t the same as being heartless.

This post is not real advice—unless it accidentally is. We’re just having some fun with the weird stuff that sometimes happens in therapy.

Thoughts that start with “I’ll never be…” or “I can’t…” are not truths—they’re self-limiting beliefs. Here’s how to push past them.
