Tiny Internal Shifts, Surprisingly Big External Wins
Insight Maximizers
Tiny shifts. Big results. Like the invention of Formula 409, sometimes it takes a few (hundred) tries to get it right. This episode explores inside wins and outside wins—how an internal pivot protects our integrity and often leads to calmer, stronger external outcomes. Pause. Pray. Pivot. Because when we win on the inside, the outside tends to follow. Suze Gadol Anderson lives in Eugene, Oregon. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in Texas and Oregon.

Emotional Plot Twists Brought to You by Expectations
Insight Maximizers
Assumptions, expectations, and why they love to mess with our plans. This episode looks at how unconscious expectations turn into assumptions—and how that often prompts a pivot. Suze shares a real-life wedding example that proves: different expectations = very different emotional outcomes. The fix? Check your expectations, get the facts, and practice acceptance before reality does it for you. We close with a powerful reminder from the Big Book: acceptance isn’t optional—it’s the pivot.

Guess What? You Can’t Pivot Other People. We Checked.
Insight Maximizers
What does it really mean to pivot? Suze and Jenni ponder this as their new season begins! From a closed road and a recalculating GPS to the original definition of pivot, we unpack why this season is about personal, private pivots — shifting our thoughts, feelings, and actions for ourselves, not to change anyone else. Because real change starts with a pause… and one brave turn. Suze Gadol Anderson lives in Eugene, Oregon. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in Texas and Oregon.

Listen Like You Mean It!
Insight Maximizers
In this heartfelt conversation, Suze and Jenni return to Safe Conversations—this time, focusing on something we often overlook: listening. Real listening. The kind where we slow down, stay curious, and let the other person feel truly heard. With tools like mirroring, validation, and gentle sentence stems, they share how listening can be a healing act—and how it’s okay if we’re still learning. Suze Gadol Anderson lives in Eugene, Oregon.

Trying Not to Be a Jerk (It’s Harder Than It Sounds)
Insight Maximizers
Suze and Jenni open up about what it really means to practice zero negativity—and no, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about catching the small stuff, noticing what triggers us (and others), and learning how to repair when we miss the mark. They share real-life moments, a few landmines, and how simple tools—like sentence stems and a sticker calendar—can help us show up with more kindness and intention.
