from Daily Tips That May or May Not Help You · host Arielle Nissenblatt & Ned Donovan

Guest Tipper Zak Rosen shares the ACT technique “cognitive defusion” to tackle your inner critic. A simple shift, replay negative self talk in a goofy character voice to create distance, break the spiral, and recover faster after small mistakes. Zak Rosen is the host and creator of Weirdly Helpful. He also co-hosts Slate's parenting show, Care and Feeding and he co-created and produces Pregnant Pause and How To Survive the End of the World. A veteran public radio producer and reporter (Michigan Public! Detroit Public Radio! State of the Re:Union!), he facilitates workshops and consults with museums, high schools, universities, and community organizations on various story-based projects. He's a counselor at Radio Campfire, a live listening event series and a coach at the Detroit Writing Room. Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala. Find us everywhere at https://dailytipspodcast.com.
