If, When, and How to Reveal Our Secrets

Elizabeth and Sheila are joined by Personal Development Coach Matt Suess to discuss how much information should be shared early in new relationships (romantic, platonic, professional).

The 24-Hour Divide | Rethinking Email Responsiveness

Elizabeth’s Imperfectly Honest blog in April, “Why I Don’t Apologize for Unanswered Emails” hit a nerve with her longtime mentor and investor, Jimmy Calano. He joins today’s episode for a lively conversation, sharing his own email response time “Rule of 24”, and mixing it up with Elizabeth and Sheila on where he stands on email apologies and other content.

How you make financial decisions in both romantic and business relationships can have a big impact. Elizabeth and Sheila look to their personal experiences, and what others choose, to lay out some different approaches to calculating the role of money in the relationship equation.

There can be a fine line between being helpful and being taken advantage of. Elizabeth and Sheila go through the questions they ask themselves when trying to figure out that difference, especially when they aren’t sure if they’re stepping up or being stepped on.

Checking Back in on This Year’s Intentions

Online Dating: When Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone is Too Uncomfortable

It can often be a true growth opportunity to try new things that attract us but are also challenging and move us outside our comfort zone. Sheila and Elizabeth discuss their recent forays into online dating. They agree that it’s essential to listen to your inner voice — and gut feelings — to (in the words of “The Gambler”) “know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.”

Criticism: A Mirror, Not a Weapon

What if we made more of an effort to view criticism from others like a two way mirror? We can see how their words reflect something about us and reflect something about them as well.

Elizabeth and Sheila discuss an Oscar Wilde quote: “Criticism is the only reliable form of autobiography,” to explore dynamics of criticism, weaving in personal experiences for extra color!

Would You Want to Know Your Expiration Date?

How would you feel if you were given the choice to know how long your life would be? The Measure, by Nikki Erlick, is a recent bestseller, where the entire world population is given the opportunity to find the answer to that question in a box which appears on their doorstep.

Elizabeth and Sheila talk about what their own choices might be, as well as the impact the knowledge could have on their lives, and on the people they love.

Or those they may have hopes of loving in the future.
