Adulting ain't easy! Welcome to Flourish with Delores (formally known as We Are Still Becoming) where my friends and I have some vulnerable conversations to remind you that flourishing is about PROGRESS, not perfection. Listen, we are dispelling the myth that we have to have it all figured out. Episodes drop twice a month on Tuesdays and I promise you that they are filled with gems and insight. I want you to know that you are not alone in the adulting struggle so we get real transparent about our journey. We discuss our challenges (like imposter syndrome, anxiety, managing money, relationships, family planning, finding time for self-care and development), and the ways that we try to navigate through our growing pains.As you listen to each episode and hear the authentic stories of "successful" young professionals,  you'll be reaffirmed that you are not alone in the adulting struggle.Feel free to stay connected with me on IG or FB @FlourishwithDelores on Instagram and Facebook.

Adulting ain't easy! Welcome to Flourish with Delores (formally known as We Are Still Becoming) where my friends and I have some vulnerable conversations to remind you that flourishing is about PROGRESS, not perfection. Listen, we are dispelling the myth that we have to have it all figured out. Episodes drop twice a month on Tuesdays and I promise you that they are filled with gems and insight. I want you to know that you are not alone in the adulting struggle so we get real transparent about our journey. We discuss our challenges (like imposter syndrome, anxiety, managing money, relationships, family planning, finding time for self-care and development), and the ways that we try to navigate through our growing pains. As you listen to each episode and hear the authentic stories of "successful" young professionals, you'll be reaffirmed that you are not alone in the adulting struggle. Feel free to stay connected with me on IG or FB @FlourishwithDelores on Instagram and Facebook. Visit <a href="http://FlourishwithDelores.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">FlourishwithDelores.com</a> for shownotes. Seasons run from March through November

Breton Boudreaux

When Preparation Meets Opportunity  Breton is passionate about helping others figure out their path. Regardless of his field of work, he is constantly learning, growing and always asking the question “why can’t we" or “what if we."  He takes us through his far from linear career path as he explored his interests, worked through imposter syndrome and the “box-checker” mentality, and learned to be his own best advocate. He drops gems on how we can become our best selves in the world of work such as: -Talking to a professional therapist or counselor as needed -Embracing that everyone’s path is different – it’s okay to not have all the answers! -Getting comfortable about “bragging” about yourself, no one knows your accomplishments better than you! You are the expert on the experiences that you are bringing to the table -The importance of having at least one person in your corner to give you honest feedback and cheer you on to remind you that you got this! -How you should prepare for new opportunities and job interviews -Why you should keep your eye out for new job opportunities -How to effectively negotiate your salary and benefits Connect with Bret on LinkedIn if you are interested in continuing this conversation with Bret and tell him We Are Still Becoming sent you!

Best Episodes on Physical Health & Your Body

The best podcasts about ourselves as well as the world through the lense of Science. Specific topics include things about our brain, emotions to biology, physics and more!

Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience -- and not just any conscious experience, your experience of the world around you and of yourself within it. How does this happen? According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we're all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it "reality." Join Seth for a delightfully disorienting talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence.

Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality | Anil Seth

Using examples from vacations to colonoscopies, Nobel laureate and founder of behavioral economics Daniel Kahneman reveals how our "experiencing selves" and our "remembering selves" perceive happiness differently. This new insight has profound implications for economics, public policy -- and our own self-awareness.
