Personality Isn’t Permanent? The Science Behind Changing Who You Are
Mar 1101:06:38Tap to summarizeCan you actually change your personality, or are you stuck the way you are forever? In this episode, Jason and Emily talk through the surprising science behind personality change. For decades psychologists believed personality was mostly fixed by adulthood.

Are We Raising Confident Kids… or Approval Addicts?
Feb 2700:28:58Tap to summarizeIn this week’s bonus episode, we’re talking about one of the biggest parenting tensions no one really prepares you for: are we supposed to constantly build our kids up, or do go all in on intrinsic value? What actually forms a confident adult? With a new baby on the way, parenting suddenly feels different at this stage of life. We’re older. A little calmer. Maybe a little more tired. And we’re raising a newborn alongside an 8- and 6-year-old who are very aware of everything. How does perspective change? What matters more this time?

We Took the Happiness Test… and It Backfired
Feb 2501:05:20Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Jason and Emily break down the famous 85-year Harvard Study on Adult Development, the one that followed people for decades to figure out what actually makes for a good life. It turns out it’s not just money or success, but relationships, purpose, stress, habits, and how you handle conflict over time. Naturally, instead of calmly reflecting on this like mature adults, they ranked themselves and each other on a scale of 1–10 in several of the study’s core areas. The result is equal parts thoughtful, competitive, revealing, and mildly dangerous for a marriage. If you’ve ever wondered how you’d score in the “good life” department, this episode might make you want to find out. Musicbed License MB01LB14RC1PRTN MB01LPNLPFWSBVO Learn more about your ad choices.

Are Women Carrying the Social Weight?
Feb 2000:30:39Tap to summarizeThere’s a term floating around the internet called “man keeping.” The idea? That women often carry the mental and emotional load of maintaining friendships, family connections, holiday plans, thank-you notes, birthday texts, and basically the entire social ecosystem of a household. Meanwhile, many men… just don’t think about it. Or don’t care in the same way. In this episode, Emily and Jason talk about why that dynamic exists. Is it laziness? Wiring? Cultural expectation? Or are men and women simply valuing different things? Musicbed License MB01OKDEEVEDRAK Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Feb 1101:01:43Tap to summarizeWe’re sporty people, but we have a confession: we aren’t into sports.
