Overeating. Overdrinking. Mindlessly scrolling Instagram. Doom-scrolling the news. Numbing out with Netflix.
These are all ways that we buffer; meaning we use something external to cover up our negative emotions.
In this episode, you’ll learn how buffering can wreak havoc on your productivity, by keeping you in a constant cycle of avoidance.
I’m joined by Jennifer Dent-Brown, a weight loss coach who teaches women how to stop dieting permanently. So whether you struggle with your weight or not, this episode is for you.
Listen in as we discuss:
- The connection between weight and procrastination
- Jennifer’s business experience during the pandemic and how she dealt with procrastination
- How to distinguish a behavior that's fine for you versus a behavior that has a net negative effect
- Importance of emotional literacy to pinpoint an emotion faster, so that you can move through it
- Why it's painful for people to sit with an emotion
- Jennifer’s diagnosis of ADHD and how it has impacted her work
- Social media addiction and its role in procrastination
- The Valley of Despair that we inevitably hit when we’re working to implement new habits
- What to do when you know you're buffering, but you just don't care

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
