  • Podcast: Pick Your Rewards Wisely

    Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Do you give yourself little rewards?  Cheat days? Treats for good behavior? Have you had someone give you rewards along the way for your biggest achievements?  I bet not.  It seems our “little rewards” along the way often derail our ultimate goals.  For the most part, people don’t regret…

  • Podcast: What is the Price of Cheat Day?

  • Blogpost: How TV can Reinforce Misconceptions
