Digressions podcast

41:05

When negative feedback shakes your confidence, it can be difficult to get back to feeling like yourself at work. In this episode, Anne and Frances help a struggling listener who has spent years toning herself down in the workplace after being told that she was too assertive — now, she feels that her modest approach is holding her back. Together, they use Anne and Frances’s “trust triangle” framework to explore how empathy, authenticity, and logic can help you rebuild confidence and trust with your colleagues, and share helpful confidence hacks for getting comfy with discomfort.

In this episode, Cory reflected on their experience as an emerging non-fiction writer. We talked about their recent collection of personal essays, its inception and motivation, and the extraneous creative process. We looked at the different roles a writer assumes during the drafting and editing process, the intricate balance of the voice of a creator and of their audience, and the idea of writing as a way to cope with traumatic experiences. In the end, we asked ourselves: what does being a creator mean and how does this role affect our perception and appreciation for other people's creative works? Tune in for a casual discussion, now with one of my favorite writers - Cory!…

We are sort of late to the game, but In this episode, Lily and I talked about the number one game of this age of quarantine: Animal Crossing! Lily shared about their experience in the game, and we discussed them in relation to a number of "driving forces" behind the game design. Also, we thought it might be interesting to draw a connection between the game and the concept of kindness, which is the theme of this year's mental health awareness week. When in-person communication is either unaccessible or significantly limited, we figured that the popularity of the game has much to do with the alternative way of connecting that is much needed in this difficult time. Let's all find ways to stay connected, for example, you should all visit Lily's island (DM for details)!…

In this episode, Lily and I talked about American cartoonist Alison Bechdel's acclaimed graphic novel/memoir Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, which is a profoundly moving account of the author's childhood in Pennsylvania, her complicated relationship with her father Bruce, the latter's unexpected death, the author's sexual awakening, and the uncovering of Bruce's repressed homosexuality. Drawing on personal experiences as well, we addressed themes and ideas including childhood exposure to death, the use of literary references, individual vs. society, family structure, and the creative process. Whether from a critical perspective or a lay reader's point of view, Lily and I agreed that this is a memoir so thoughtfully created and beautifully written that we would return to it over and over again. If you haven't read it, you should! And let us know what you think!…
