Your career converts your time into money, but it’s not a measure of your worth.

The things that really bring fulfillment to your life are time with loved ones, creating memories, and caring for your home, and these things have real value too.

Join Emily in her chat with economist Corinne Low, where you can hear more on redefining success, valuing invisible labor, and making your career work for your life, not the other way around.

We’ve been taught that productivity only counts when it earns a paycheck or advances a career, but what if that definition is incomplete?

In our Having It All episode, Corinne Low challenges the idea that work and output are the only measures of value.
Time spent resting, recharging, and doing what’s meaningful to you isn’t wasted. It is economic production too.

When you invest your time in joy, connection, or renewal, you are creating real utility that fuels everything else in your life.

If you find yourself stuck in a creative block, don’t beat yourself up with “could haves” and “should haves”; try treating yourself like you would a friend.

Show yourself some self-compassion, take a short break, and give your mind space to restart. Remember, creative blocks are only temporary, and they don’t reflect your ability

As we close out 2025, we co-hosts are sharing some powerful reminders from our penultimate episode of the year, where we chatted about reflection and creativity in the New Year.

💭 When you’re going through something difficult, pause and ask yourself: How can I use this experience to do something creative? Reflection is often the first doorway to growth.

🎨 Creativity does not have to be artistic or perfect. It can be journaling, shifting a habit, starting a conversation, or giving yourself space to think differently.

👍 You do not need a clear outcome to start. Creativity needs spaciousness, not pressure, so focus on the process and your why.

✨ Even if something does not turn out the way you hoped, it can still be worth doing.

💗 Sometimes creativity changes one life, and sometimes that life is your own.

This episode is out now wherever you get your podcasts. And from all of us at POTC, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Here’s to reflection, curiosity, and creative beginnings in the year ahead, and giving yourself permission to start, explore, and grow.

Getting frustrated with politicians flipping positions is normal, but in a democracy, some flexibility is actually necessary.

Political leaders have to balance their values with the practical side of making compromises and working with different groups. That doesn’t necessarily make them hypocrites; it just shows the challenge of getting things done.

We want politicians to remain true to their beliefs and achieve results simultaneously. But as Michael Hallsworth shares with us, that's a tricky balance for anyone.

If you want to understand this better, we invite you to go check out Episode 438, The Hypocrisy Trap with Michael Hallsworth.

We all fall into moments where our actions and our ideals don’t quite match and that gap can open the door to accusations of hypocrisy. The good news? There are practical ways to escape the trap:

1️⃣ Be more consistent. Small changes in how we act can make a big difference.

2️⃣ Reduce the risk of accusations. Understand where they come from so you can respond, not just react.

3️⃣ Change how you think about hypocrisy. Nobody’s perfectly consistent—so let’s ease up on ourselves and others.

How to Find Your Genius

If it’s hard to see your own strengths, try asking yourself:

What lit you up as a kid? Early passions point to natural inclinations.

What comes easily to you that others find hard? Your ease is a clue.

What do people call you for? Your “go-to” role reflects your emotional genius.

Your genius isn’t about IQ, it’s the unique blend of talents, sensitivity, and presence you carry with you everywhere.

🎙️ Our episode “Wise Effort” with Diana Hill is out now, diving into how to focus your genius energy on what matters most.

10/12/2025

Energy is everything.

If you ever feel drained, scattered, or swept up in the busyness of life, it may be time to look at where your energy is going.

Most of us are unconsciously pushed around by three things:

1️⃣ The stories in our mind
2️⃣ The feelings we don’t want to feel
3️⃣ Our attempts to control life

Diana Hill says that Wise Effort is the practice of gently disentangling from all of that.

It’s choosing to direct your energy toward what’s nourishing, aligned, and genuinely supportive, rather than what pulls you into stress cycles or autopilot.

A lot of women learn over time that saying yes can feel like the safest way to avoid conflict, tension, or escalation, which means the real responsibility isn’t on how someone protects themselves, but on how the other person handles boundaries, hesitation, and rejection.

Healthy intimacy is built on comfort, not pressure.

✨ If this topic hits home, don’t miss the important episode with Chanel Contos the founder of Teach Us Consent about her book Consent Laid Bare. It’s a must-listen.

Affirmative consent means being actively engaged and wanting to participate, rather than being hesitant or silent. It also means intentionally seeking that clear yes from others.

Many systems have focused on whether someone resisted or said no. Affirmative consent shifts the focus to what matters: Was there an active yes, and did everyone make sure of it?

🎙️ We highly recommend everyone go listen to our latest episode Consent Laid Bare with Chanel Contos and be sure to share it too!
