Episode description

What if questioning the way you’ve always done things was the key to unlocking a happier life?

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Ellen Langer, a psychologist known as the "Mother of Mindfulness" and the first woman to earn tenure in Harvard’s psychology department. Ellen’s been researching the power of mindset for over 45 years, showing how the way we think can literally transform our health, relationships, and overall happiness.

We talk about breaking free from societal norms, embracing uncertainty, and making small shifts that can completely change how we experience life. This is one of those conversations that’ll leave you questioning everything - in the best way.

TOPICS:

Questioning societal norms and assumptions.
The power of mindfulness and reframing perspectives.
The impact of mindset on health and happiness.
