182 | Dr. Samantha Boardman on Positive Prescriptions, Overwhelm, Connection, Being "un-you," + more.

This episode makes me so happy. From the experience of the recording to the interview itself, I'm so proud of this conversation and excited for you to hear it.  I talk with the amazingly wise psychiatrist and founder of Positive Prescriptions Dr. Samantha Boardman. We spoke for over almost two hours on an array of tools the uses to help her patients and wisdom she accrued over her years as a practicing therapist in New York City. Dr. Sam radiates a kindness and has an energy that is so pure and inspiring. In re-listening to her episode I was inspired all over again. Her website, Positive Prescription is dedicated  to sharing inspiration around tweaks and changes people can make that are life-enhancing and resilience-building. We discuss many of these little changes and additions people can add to their lives to enhance the good and joy in the everyday. Everything she offers is all science-backed, research-driven, actionable, productive and digestible. I hope you get something valuable out of this episode, I know I've already applied much of what she shared into my own life.  And let us know what was your biggest take-away over in the Facebook Listener Group! and sign up for her weekly dose which I also love. -Dr. Samantha's Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter -Angela Duckworth's talk about Grit  -Books:: Theft by Findings by David Seders, Flourish by Martin Seligman, Influence by Robert Cialdini, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, You Must Change Your Life by  Rachel Corbett -Moon Juice products -Other favorites:: Rudy (movie) & U2 (music)   Cool Things to Check-Out: -I'll be doing a podcast listener meet-up and LIVE recording at The End in Brooklyn on August 24th -The Good Fest will be in L.A. on Feb. 3rd, 2018 !!
