    Send us a text

    When life knocks you down… a bad grade, a failed interview, or a project that doesn’t go your way, it’s easy to question your path. But real growth doesn’t come from avoiding setbacks; it comes from learning how to rise after them.

    In this episode of the Psych Leadership Podcast, we explore how Resilience Theory and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you bounce back when you feel like quitting. You’ll learn how to reframe negative thoughts, manage self-doubt, and turn failure into forward motion.

    Whether you’re a student, recent graduate, or early-career professional, this episode will help you understand the science of resilience, and how to use it to build a mindset that bends but doesn’t break.

    🎧 Tune in to discover the tools that make persistence your superpower.

  • Self-advocacy: speaking up without feeling pushy
    Dec 9 2025

    Send us a text

    Finding your voice isn’t always easy, especially when you’re still figuring out who you are in school, at work, or early in your career. In this episode of The Psych Leadership Podcast, we explore how to speak up for yourself without feeling rude, awkward, or “too much.”

    Using insights from Assertiveness Theory, we’ll unpack the psychology behind confident communication, what it means to balance respect for others with respect for yourself. You’ll learn practical strategies for advocating for your needs, setting boundaries, and expressing ideas clearly, whether in the classroom, group projects, or the workplace.

    If you’ve ever struggled to ask for what you deserve or feared being labeled “pushy,” this episode will help you reframe assertiveness as a strength, not a flaw.
