We live in era of contradictory approaches to, frankly, everything. How to parent? How to live the good life? How to eat healthfully? No one agrees and everyone is an expert. In todayâs episode of The Change Lab, Dr. Heinz explores the question of how to live and comes to a conclusion that might surprise you. Itâs not a question of searching for the ârightâ approach to life, itâs not about understanding that there isnât one ârightâ approach to life, it defining an approach to life this is YOURS. As Zadie Smith wrote, you are the author of the dictionary that defines you. And once you become the author of your beliefs, principles, values, and identity, you fully step into adulthood.

Check it out and make sure to get your lab work exercise for the week at the end of the episode.

Do you ever feel like there are not enough minutes in the day to get all the things done? Or lament that youâre not using your time productively? Well, what if your fixation on productivity was actually unproductive?! Iâm fairly certain it is! In todayâs episode, I reflect on a heart-stopping quote from Carl Sagan that makes our secret desire to win a productivity ribbon each day seem pretty darn absurd. So, if you struggle with time management, this episode is for you. Weâll explore the liberating idea that there is, in fact, no universal âGood Use of Time Scale.â You are the only person who can determine what is and is not a good use of your time. But with this freedom come responsibility. You must define the parameters of valuable time use by getting clear on your goals and your values. And, of course, there is an eye-opening lab work exercise to help you look objectively at how you are spending your time right now. Remember, your time is not to be managed; itâs meant to be lived. So, letâs put the âown upâ in grown up and start creating deliberate, self-authored days.

Today in The Change Lab, Iâm joined by my former coach and goal-setting expert, Caroline Adams Miller. Twenty-three years ago, Caroline helped me achieve an impossible goal that changed my life. In our conversation, Caroline breaks down the difference between learning goals and performance goals and why distinguishing one from the other matters; why women need less consolation from their friends and more encouragement to go after hard goals; and how sheâs approaching her next big goalâŠwriting her forthcoming book, Big Goals, which comes out in the Fall of 2024. As Caroline reminds us, âthe happiest people wake up to hard goals.â This episode is a must listen if you have big dreams, but feel stuck without a clear idea of how to realize those goals.

Hey lab mates and TGIM! Weâre back in The Change Lab, and Iâve got an update on my New Yearâs Evolution â a six-month hiatus from the booze. I started this experiment on January 1st, 2024 hoping to start waking up with the 5amers brimming with sober energy. Spoiler alert: that didnât happen. Turns out, Iâm still hitting the snooze button, and my Peloton still has abandonment issues. But, what I have discovered is that most of what made this moderate drinker not want to give up her right to drink is, well, BS. In todayâs episode, I get personal about my relationship with alcohol and share the preliminary findings of my sobriety evolution experiment. And itâs not just about alcohol; itâs about our capacity to change and stepping into the joy of limitless possibility. If you need some inspiration and motivation to start your week, donât miss this candid episode. Cheers to change!
Lab Work:
Take a seriousâdare I say soberâlook at the change you have been contemplating and do the following short exercise:
At the top of a black sheet of paper write this statement and question: âI want to make this change, but I donât feel ready. What exactly needs to happen for me to feel ready?â Write down as many responses to this question as you can and âI donât knowâ is not an answer, itâs avoidance. When youâre finished, look at what you wrote down. If someone you love deeply came to you with a list of whatâs holding them back from feeling ready to make a life-affirming change that looked exactly like yours, would you sign off on it? And if not, why?

In todayâs episode of The Change Lab we are coaching in the lab. So, pull up a chair and join Dr. Heinzâ session with Anne, who is wrestling with self-criticism as she applies to law school at 49. In todayâs more loose and conversational coaching session, Anne sees how her fear of not liking law school and quitting is holding her back from starting it with gusto, which, of course, is going to make it far more likely that she doesnât like it! Listen to this episode of Coaching in the Lab and relate it to your own insecurity, self-doubt, and apprehension. Perhaps, you need to spend some time creating your own definition of success and laying out the criteria for calling it quits with not an ounce of guilt just like Anne does. Tune in and donât forget to listen to the labwork at the end of the episodeâŠitâs a good one!

Being a parent in the era of social media means wading through a morass of conflicting and half-baked advice from would-be influencers, coaches, and practitioners.
* Itâs confusing. âWait, attachment parenting has nothing to do with attachment?â
* Itâs overwhelming. âI want to be sensitive to my childâs needs, but how sensitive?â
* Itâs contradictory. âDonât be a tiger/helicopter/lawn mower parent, but also be an involved parent and help them lean into their potential.â
Itâs enough to make any try-hard parent confused, frustrated, and exhausted.
Well, not to worry, relief is here. In todayâs episode of The Change Lab, Sasha is joined by the wise and delightfully human host of the Raising Good Humans Podcast, Dr. Aliza Pressman. Aliza will cut through all the parenting nonsense to distill the five principles of parenting that are based on decades of research. And, hereâs the great news, being a good parent of good humans is not as complicated as you may have been led to believe. With her warmth and wisdom, Aliza will bring you the relief you have been looking for. So, even if youâre a parent or not, make sure to tune into this one!

Whether New Year lover or hater, the science behind the yearâs most significant self-improvement day is pretty darn fascinating. In todayâs episode of The Change Lab, Dr. Sasha Heinz dives into the research on the Fresh Start Effect, the human tendency to set and pursue goals or make positive changes at the beginning of a date that gives us a psychological feeling of âbefore & after.â In this episode, you will learn the three reasons why a fresh start is an ideal time to initiate change and why, when youâre already doing a bang up job checking the box on your daily habits, itâs wise to ignore those fresh start dates. Tune in to see how a fresh start can help you transcend the daily grind and reach toward your biggest goals.

In the past few episodes of The Change Lab, Dr. Heinz has discussed the five stages of change (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance). But some personal changes seem to happen in an instant, not in a slow progression through these five stages of change. In today's episode of The Change Lab, Dr. Heinz answers a question she got from one of her colleagues about this very issue: why do some people change instantaneously without seeming to go through these stages? If you've been wondering why some people seem to "Just Do It", this episode will help you understand what's really going on.
Doors close for Dr. Heinz's new group coaching program, New Year's Evolution, on Friday, December 29th. If you want to change something about your life, you want a program that is 100% grounded in the science of change, and you want a guide to take you through it, New Year's Evolution is for you! Go to www.drsashaheinz.com/evolve to join.
