Welcome to this week's Quickie, our super fast take on all the adulting things that matter to you. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and we’ve got love on the brain! So, today we’re talking about the five Love Languages, what they mean, and tips for dating each type.The Five Love Languages was written by marriage counsellor, Dr. Gary Chapman, and has sold over twelve million copies worldwide— it’s been on the New York Times best-sellers list since 2007! It has totally changed the way we show up for our partners and give them the kind of love that they need. Dr. Chapman noticed that couples often had similar complaints that boiled down to a single feeling: “I feel like my partner doesn’t love me.” Starting to recognize a pattern, he discovered that there were five categories on how people could give their partner the love they need: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch.Each of us has a primary love language that speaks to us more deeply, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still need the other four (we’ll never say no to a thoughtful gift)! And these don’t only apply to romantic relationships. You can identify the love languages of your parents, friends, boss and co-workers, too, so use them to form stronger relationships with everyone in your life! #winningListen to our chat to learn more about:The importance ‘Words of Affirmation’ play in making you feel understood: 2:47How to spend ‘Quality Time’ together when you see each other 24/7 or are in a LDR: 5:38Why ‘Receiving Gifts’ isn’t as superficial as it sounds: 12:15How ‘Acts of Service’ can make your partner’s day: 14:20Why ‘Physical Touch’ is more than just sexy time: 17:28Two easy ways to find yours and your partner’s love language: 20:22Cailyn’s top love languages and how learning them made her relationship thrive: 21:04Gill’s top love languages and how they can change throughout her life: 23:31We hope this episode helps you speak the same language of love with the people you care about, and inspires you to keep the spark alive!

Any guesses what our listeners voted as their #1 goal for 2021? Improving their health—both physical and mental.

How different would your life be if you weren’t afraid to ask for what you deserve? In this week’s episode, we’re talking all things negotiation and how to confidently go after the things you want in life, with negotiation expert Fotini Iconomopoulos! A lot of us don’t even realize that anytime you want someone to say "yes” to something, you're actually entering a negotiation. So whether it’s saying yes to a raise, to buying your product, to buying a house, or to ordering in from YOUR favourite restaurant...you, friends, are already negotiating! And here’s the thing: Negotiations are not about bulldozing others so you can get your way...it’s about creating a collaboration that helps both parties get what they want. It’s about confidence, clear communication, listening and empathy, and when you break it down like that, a lot of us already have these skills—we just need to apply them! Fotini dives into all of this and more. She’s been helping people get what they want for decades through her new book, keynotes, workshops and virtual courses, which teach the negotiation and communication skills required to navigate any scenario. She teaches MBA Negotiations at the Schulich School of Business at York University, and in April 2021, Fotini is releasing her first book “Say Less, Get More: Unconventional Negotiation Techniques to Get What You Want”, so stay tuned for that! Listen to our chat to learn more about: 3 ways to practise negotiating on a daily basis: 6:29 All the ways you don’t realize you’re negotiating: 12:47 What’s holding most women back from asking for what they want: 15:10 The most effective language to use in negotiations and phrases to avoid: 19:07 Why pauses are okay and key to any negotiation: 24:26 Key body language cues to look out for: 29:35 How emotional intelligence is crucial in a negotiation: 37:03 The difference between being assertive and aggressive: 41:16 How to ask for a raise in 2021: 43:13 Easy ways to brush up on your negotiation skills: 49:38 We hope this episode inspires you to go after what you want and ask for what you deserve!

Diversity shouldn’t be a trend, it should be a standard. Support for Black Lives Matter has dipped significantly since June, but racial inequality continues to permeate every facet of society—including our workplaces. Exactly six months after the senseless murder of George Floyd, we had the privilege of talking with Karlyn Percil about the racial pandemic we’re still facing, and the state of diversity and equality in the workplace, and what we can do to make businesses more inclusive. Because equitable work is a key to breaking the cycle of oppression, and the right to earn a living in a safe, inclusive workplace is a basic human right. In this episode, we learned how to use emotional intelligence and positive psychology to help create equal opportunities for BIPOC employees, to shift hiring practices and dated work cultures, and to eliminate harmful microaggressions that prevent employees from feeling safe enough to bring their whole selves to work.While it is 100% *our* job as white women to educate ourselves on systemic racism and how to be an anti-racist ally, we’re so grateful that Certified Emotional Intelligence and Neuro-Life Coach Karlyn Percil spent time chatting with us about how to leverage bravery, leadership, empathy and vulnerability to create more equitable and safe workplaces for BIPOC communities. Karlyn has dedicated her career to increasing emotional intelligence in the workforce and helping corporations plan and execute Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategies. She’s the CEO of KDPM Consulting, the Founder of SisterTalk Group, and she spreads her infectiously positive and empowering mindset tools on talk shows like CityLine, on CBC and in the pages of Forbes and Refinery29.Listen to our chat with Karlyn to learn more about: The current state of racial diversity in the workplace: 2:05Changes you can make right now to promote inclusivity and diversity at work: 3:00Why corporate “Listening and Learning” sessions are missing the mark, and how to improve them: 15:35The reality of changing “company culture”: 21:39What microaggressions sound like and how to take accountability: 22:30Why you will 100% screw up on your anti-racism journey, and why you should keep going out of your comfort zone: 24:28Using emotional intelligence to examine defensiveness, shame and fear: 30:16How to be a better ally through Karlyn’s LEAP strategy: 31:30The hiring practices that ensure inclusivity and equity: 36:10How to respond to racial injustice and getting “called in” on social media: 51:08Teach Me How To Adult is a podcast that serves up expert interviews, candid experiences and actionable advice on everything you never learned growing up.

It seems like pivot and resiliency are the hottest buzzwords of 2020. After all, change and adversity are the only constant in this life, and if this year has taught us anything, it’s that the more you focus on building a solid foundation within yourself, the more external chaos you can handle.

So, we called in mindset and success coach Leisse Wilcox to teach us everything we need to know about how to cultivate mental resilience and turn whatever life throws at you into a beautiful story. And Leisse is not just your average coach. She is a coveted mindset coach, podcast host, AND bestselling author, who is changing the global conversation on emotional health & wellness.
