In case you're just recently joining us or however long you've been a listener of the show,

We've had so many wonderful guests that we've decided to handpick one of our favorites that may be new to you

but if not it's definitely worth another listen. We hope you'll enjoy this episode

with Emma Sepula. Our stress response is only meant to be for fight or flight, not all day constantly.

Welcome to the one you feed.

Throughout time great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have.

Quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true.

And yet, for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us.

We tend toward negativity, self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't have instead

of what we do. We think things that hold us back and dampen our spirit. But it's not just about thinking.

Our actions matter.

It takes conscious, consistent, and creative effort

to make a life worth living.

This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction,

how they feed their good wolf. Thanks for joining us. Our guest on this episode is Emma Sepulah, science director at Stanford University's Center

for Compassion in Ultrarism, Research, and Education.

She is also the author of The Happiness Track.

Emma is co-director of the Yale College Emotional Intelligence Project.

and teaches at the Yale School of Management's Executive Education Program.

She graduated from Yale, Columbia, and Stanford.
