Change is one of the only constants in life, but a lot of people are really adverse to it. TBH, I actually thrive in change and chaos, I’m always seeking newness, so this week I’m sharing how I overcome fear of change to approach it with a growth mindset.Tim Ferris says “People would rather be unhappy than uncertain.” Change is hard because it comes with a loss of control, and it often means letting go of how things are to embrace something new. But what is the safety and comfort of remaining the same costing you?And how do we get better at such an important, but uncomfortable, life skill?Tune in as I chat about:The change we choose VS change that happens to usThe grief that can come with changeWhy I struggle with changing relationshipsAdopting a growth mindsetQuestions to ask that will make change easierBuilding resilience and tracking your winsHow practicing impermanence can helpWorking on your inner stability to deal with unstable environmentsIf you’re toying with changes in your life right now, just remember that people often regret what they didn’t do more than what they did.

WTF happened to job security? A new round of tech and media layoffs are announced every week (looking at you, Tesla and Microsoft) and booming industries go bust faster than Tswift tickets sell out. But on the flip side, with layoffs becoming the new norm, we’re starting to detach our worth and loyalty from a corporate job. Gone are the days when quitting a job and jumping between companies was frowned upon: We’re not down with toxic work environments and underpaid gigs. So how do you prepare for the ending of a job, whether by choice or by layoff? Join Carolyn and I as we chat about:Caro and Gill’s layoff experiences Reviewing your severance and why it’s worth consulting a lawyer Things you can negotiate in your contract up-front What to do right after you’ve been laid off The power of vulnerability (and why everyone is sharing on social media) Finding empowerment and detaching your worth from a jobSigns your workplace is toxic How to know when to quit your job Advocating for yourself before you quitOur show is produced by:Gillian Berner, Host, Producer & EditorOlivia Nashmi, Audio EngineerCarolyn Schissler, Designer & Web ProducerSara Valentine, Content ProducerFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Welcome back to my new series “I’m the problem, it’s me,” where I call bullshit on myself for the self-sabotage and mistakes I keep on making, because that’s the stuff that teaches us the most. Today is a vulnerable one. Remember that recent “show me you at 21” trend that circulated on social media? Well that deep-dive through old photo albums and Facebook timelines sent me into a certifiable spiral. Reflecting on who I was in my teens and early 20s, I was confronted with a tidal wave of self hate over how I looked and dressed, how much I drank, how obnoxiously and overly-sexualized I present myself, and how disconnected I seemed to be from who I really am.The judgment and shame towards my past self was overwhelming, until I realized that my current self is in fact the problem. It’s easy to be critical in hindsight, but when we were young, we were almost always doing the best we could with what we knew. I’ve spent a good chunk of adulthood resenting the versions of myself that came before this one. So it’s me, Gill, I’m the problem, it's me. And in today’s episode I’m rewriting my relationship with my past, and choosing compassion. Join me as I dive into: Why looking into my past brought up so much shame How accepting our past selves can lead to more confidence and compassion Aiming for neutrality and acceptance VS unconditional self-love The power of inner child work The tools I’m using to build self-compassion and change my self-talk Why you should write letters to your past self Learning from the versions of ourselves that we’ve outgrownWhy growth and change can go hand-in-hand with griefI hope we can all learn to love the past eras that brought us to this one, and in the meantime, know that I love you. Our show is produced by:Gillian Berner, Host, Producer & EditorOlivia Nashmi, Audio EngineerKyla Killackey, Digital EditorCarolyn Schissler, Designer & Web ProducerFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

It’s earth month, and every April we find ourselves reevaluating our consumption habits and examining how we can lower our carbon footprint. But TBH, it feels hella stressful. It's overwhelming trying to track alllll the things we're “supposed” to be doing. Between buying sustainable food, conserving water, shopping secondhand, swapping to eco-friendly appliances and tech, composting, and reducing waste, the list feels never-ending, and it feels like we're just not doing enough. So we're throwing it back to an honest and tactical episode that changed our perspective on sustainable living, with the accidental environmentalist herself, Jules Grieve. Because it's easy to let perfect become the enemy of good, and being environmentally conscious is about finding realistic swaps that actually work with your lifestyle. Going green is a game of progress over perfection. Julia is a TV personality, entrepreneur, fashion designer, former international model, and founder of the incredible Preloved, North America’s leading sustainable fashion brand that has diverted over a million sweaters from landfills.  She’s CityLine’s eco expert and regularly appears on Global News and in Canada’s biggest media outlets. Her mission is to show people how simple changes, over time, can have a huge impact, and she’s showing the world how we can take an eco-friendly approach to home design, health, food, fashion and lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about:How Julia became the “accidental environmentalist” and started her brand, PrelovedJulia’s top sustainable swaps that anyone can makeTips for cutting out plastic and reducing your wasteWorking towards a circular economyWays to repair, upcycle, and thrift to extend the lifecycle of our thingsHacks for cutting down on food waste, and the truth about recyclingWhy we should be mindful of our water consumptionFollow Julia:@prelovedjulesjuliagrieve.cagetpreloved.com PS: If you’ve been dreaming of pivoting into podcasting but aren’t sure where to start or how to grow, check our consulting services at teachmehowtoadult.ca/howtopodcast. Sign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow us on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadult

If an endless supply of “what ifs” are keeping you stuck in fear and inaction every time you need to make a decision or move forward, this tool could be a game-changer for you. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the valuable advice my career coach shared last year to help stop catastrophic thinking and get to the root of what’s actually causing you worry or paralysis. Because the answer to “what’s the worst that could happen?” usually isn’t as bad as we make it out to be, and even the worst case scenarios are almost always figureoutable.Whether you’re stuck in business decisions, dating, networking, trip-planning or big life changes, keep digging one layer deeper until you find out what’s at the core of your worries, and if that’s something you could handle.Tune in to hear more about:How catastrophic thinking can hold us backWhat was keeping me stuck in inactionThe simple tool my career coach used to change my mindsetExamining the root of your discomfortWeighing out the worst-case scenariosHow this way of thinking helped me invest in real estate Our show is produced by:Gillian Berner, Host, Producer & EditorOlivia Nashmi, Audio EngineerKyla Killackey, Digital EditorCarolyn Schissler, Designer & Web ProducerFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Our relationship with food is so complex and important for both our physical and mental health. I’ve spent a lot of my adult life trying to deprogram diet culture and deal with guilt around certain foods, reprogramming the morality we place on how we eat.

Welcome to this week’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip that you might have missed. All of us have baggage, and more often than not, these past traumas aren’t even our fault.

Welcome to the first episode of our new series “I’m the problem, it’s me,” where I deep dive on the struggles and fuck-ups I’ve been facing lately, because let’s be honest, sometimes we’re the problem. And those experiences are usually our greatest teachers. Think of this as adulting confessions. And today, I’m calling bullshit on all of the complaining I do about how impossible it is to meet people, and how lonely I feel. Because the reality is, I’ve been optimizing myself out of human connection and removing all my chances for meeting new people in the name of efficiency. Social connection should never be a “reward” we have to earn by being productive and efficient, so I’m on a mission to rewrite how I meet new people and interact with my current network.Tune in as I unpack my problems, and the solutions I’m trying:How apps and automated deliveries have replaced human interaction The link between our social lives and healthspan What we can learn from the blue zones The plan to meet more like-minded friendsThe concept of the “premium effect” in datingBeing strategic about where and how I meet peopleHabit stacking tasks and creating community Our show is produced by:Gillian Berner, Host, Producer & EditorOlivia Nashmi, Audio EngineerKyla Killackey, Digital EditorCarolyn Schissler, Designer & Web ProducerFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.
