“Failure Lab”
Come hang out and dive into the art of flopping forward—where every fail is just a step to success!
The Failure Lab is a weekly drop-in conversation where we reflect on:
• what didn’t work this week
• what we learned from it
• what we’ll try differently next time
Most people try to avoid failure.
I think failure is the fastest way to learn.
This is not therapy, coaching, or a formal workshop — just a space to think, reflect, and experiment.
If no one shows up, I’ll probably spend the time creating content about failure anyway.
Thursdays at 12 PM EST.
Books that Changed How I work with Clients
"ADHD 2.0: New Science and Essential Strategies for Thriving with Distraction"
by Edward M Hallowell and John J Ratey
If you want a straightforward, realistic introduction to ADHD without getting overwhelmed, this is one of my favorites. Written by psychiatrists who not only treat ADHD but personally understand it, this book explains the ADHD brain in a way that is informative, practical, and easy to apply. I appreciate that it is short, to the point, and focused on helping people understand both the challenges and strengths that come with ADHD. Additionally, it offers effective ADHD strategies and feedback techniques, making it a valuable resource among psychology books. It also provides essential self-care resources and mental wellness handouts that can aid in managing ADHD effectively.
by Sheila Heen and Douglas Stone
Most of us think we are good at receiving feedback techniques…until we actually receive it. This book explains why feedback can feel so personal, emotional, frustrating, or impossible to hear—even when it’s helpful for our mental wellness. Rather than focusing solely on work or relationships, the authors provide practical tools that apply across environments and interactions, including valuable ADHD strategies and self care resources that can enhance our overall well-being. These insights are a must-read for anyone interested in psychology books and effective communication.
"Thanks for the the Feedback: The science and art of receiving feedback well"
"Never Split the Difference: negotiating as if your life depended on it"
by Chris Voss
Self-help books aren’t for everyone, so I regularly refer to this great work. A retired negotiator tells us how to communicate, in a non-touchy/feely way. It shows how important listening and understanding is to communication and relationships, and provides a great “why” to hearing the other point of view.
Other Great Books:
This list continues to grow and adapt based on relevance.
”The next conversation: Argue less, talk more”, Jefferson Fisher
I especially loved the chapter on apologies! It is such great guidance for anyone struggling with connections.
"Don't You Know Who I Am?: How to Stay Sane in an Era of Narcissism, Entitlement, and Incivility”, Ramani S. Durvasula, Ph.D
It was a hard read, but it clearly explains why people are the way they are and how we can deal with it.
