Show Notes
Kwame Christian sits down with psychologist, marriage and family therapist, and founder of Growing Self Counseling & Coaching, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, and it quickly turns into two high achievers comparing notes on the hidden cost of always chasing the next win.
Kwame opens up about skipping the celebration of his own graduations, walking away from a national competition award because it wasn't the championship, and turning his marriage into a competition his wife never signed up for. Dr. Lisa Marie explains the psychology behind it (the hedonic treadmill) and why stepping off it doesn't kill your drive. It might actually give you more of it.
From there, they get into how social media algorithms are quietly "diagnosing" our partners, the frame game that lets Kwame win a negotiation before it starts, the networking event that sent him hiding in the bathroom five times, and how Dr. Lisa Marie turned the loss of her cousin on 9/11 into her life's work.
