S4E30 The Five-Year Evolution of a Friendship turned Podcast

  • Summary

  • Dr. Pete and Dr. Rubin celebrate five years since their first podcast collaboration, reflecting on how their journey began during the pandemic and evolved into a successful partnership despite initial reluctance.

    • Pete convinced Nikki to start podcasting during the pandemic despite her private nature
    • Nikki went from "kicking and screaming" to embracing the podcast after experiencing how fun it was
    • Five years provides a meaningful timeframe for reflection on personal and professional growth
    • Different approaches to reflection: Nikki uses "intentional remembering" while Pete incorporates gratitude practices
    • Our brains evolved to remember negative experiences better than positive ones for survival
    • The only healthy comparison is to your past self, not others or your imagined future self
    • Difficult professional experiences can yield unexpected gifts, like Pete and Nikki's enduring friendship
    • Mindful reflection differs from rumination by creating space for a complete picture of experiences

    "The past is already gone. The future is not yet here. There's only one moment for you to live."
