“If You Don’t Have Self-Doubt, You’re Mindless” - Legendary Psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer
Dr. Ellen Langer is a legend in the field of psychology. And a legend at Harvard University. She’s the longest-serving professor of psychology at Harvard. She was also the first woman to ever be tenured in psychology at the university. Her 40+ year career has earned her the nicknames “the mother of mindfulness” and “the mother of positive psychology.”Until starting Tiger Therapy, I always thought self-doubt was an enemy to be vanquished. But Dr. Langer is another academic who has shared that self-doubt is important. In fact, she says, if you don’t feel self-doubt, you might be being mindless. Research shows that most of us are mindless most of the time, but Dr. Langer believes that if we can work towards being more mindful it will help us tremendously in almost every facet of life. Her groundbreaking research has found that we can quite literally think ourselves younger, healthier and better - as well as totally changing our relationship with self-doubt. (By the way - mindfulness is NOT to be mistaken for mediation.)This episode is full of the most mind-blowing studies, experiments and stories that have the power to change how you think about how you think. Thank you Dr. Langer for coming on Tiger Therapy!______---- Taking a short (baby related!) break ----This is the last episode in Tiger Therapy Season 4. There have been 34 episodes so far with absolutely brilliant guests - I can't thank them enough for sharing their wisdom and stories about times where self-doubt and limiting beliefs got in the way. And thank you so much to everyone who's been listening along. I'm going on maternity leave, but Tiger Therapy will be back in early 2025. I can't wait!______Dr. Ellen Langer’s latest book The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health. ______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall Ellen Langer | @ellenjlanger Hosted on Acast.

Turning Public Failure Into Triumph - Olympic Gold Snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis
How do you think you’d handle it if you failed at the one thing you’re supposed to be best at, on live TV, with the whole world watching? Lindsey Jacobellis is the most successful female snowboarder of all time.She is a two-time Olympic Gold medalist, an Olympic Silver medalist, a 31x World Cup Gold Medalist and a 6x World Champion.Despite so much success, something happened in her early career that’s followed her ever since - a split-second mistake made at her first ever Olympics when she was just 20 years old. This defining moment led to public ridicule, a media circus and even hate mail. It’s something that (understandably) shook her confidence and left her full of self-doubt. She’s had to actively fight to not let it define her. I’m so excited to have her on Tiger Therapy to share her story and share what she learned with you. Thank you Lindsey!_______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall @Lindseyjacobellis Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“I Can Give You the Golden Keys to Success.” Lessons From the World’s #1 Behaviour Expert - Chase Hughes
Me: "Does anyone ever bother lying to you?"Chase Hughes: "You'd be surprised."I was genuinely so excited to speak to Chase Hughes, until about an hour before our interview when my excitement turned to nerves...I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I love the idea that someone can look at my face and know exactly what I'm thinking - which is precisely what Chase can do, being the no.1 behaviour and body language expert in the world. Chase is a neuroscientist, military veteran, bestselling author and star of YouTube's The Behaviour Panel (which if you haven't ever seen - I highly recommend). He used to train CIA operatives on how to negotiate, interrogate, and read people for extreme persuasion. He now teaches the same skills to business people. He will be the first to tell you that getting a handle on your own mind is key to doing this well. If you feel self-doubt, your confidence is shaky or if you feel fear - this will show on your face.Chase has spent over 20 years (and millions of US government money) to develop how best to train someone as quickly as possible how to master their mind and get over limiting beliefs - and he tells us how to do it in this episode of Tiger Therapy. His advice is extraordinary (and something people normally pay him thousands for).Thanks so much Chase for the fascinating conversation - I have a feeling this will be an episode I'll want to listen to again and again! _______Learn more about Chase via his website here._______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall @chasehughesofficial Hosted on Acast.

After our recording I decided she was probably the most impressive person I’ve ever spoken to. She’s the epitome of if you can dream it, you can do it.

Welcome to Tiger Therapy, where we delve into the mental and emotional side of what it takes to be successful, and specifically how to identify and get over the self doubt and limiting beliefs that hold so many people back and stop them realizing their full potential.Each week, join Pippa Woodhead, as she speaks to a new guest who has achieved success on their own terms - perhaps they’ve gone against the grain in some way, shattered a ceiling, done something unexpected, or they’ve broken generational patterns. She’ll be asking them to share their experiences with limiting beliefs and times where self doubt got in the way.Brought to you by Tigerhall. Hosted on Acast.
