Welcome to the second episode of the 2023 season of the Becoming Podcast!
On today’s episode, I welcome Jennifer Garvey Berger, someone whose work I’ve been following for many years, and who I consider to be a valuable teacher of mine. I was so excited to nerd out with her about all things adult development psychology, neuroscience and complexity theory.
Before we dive in, let me tell you a bit about Jennifer:
> Jennifer’s move to the south of France to a big house with eleven friends, and how re-defining and reclaiming community has grown her and challenged her.
> A model of adult development psychology that I use to guide my work with clients and that Jennifer teaches so eloquently. It’s all about this amazing shift from allowing the opinions of others to define our lives to taking up the pen and authoring our own rules of engagement.
> Jennifer’s new book, Unleashing your Complexity Genius, all about how we can grow the capacity of our nervous systems to be more resourceful and resilient in the face of change and complexity.
> The surprisingly simple ways to increase your short term, medium term and long term capacity during transformational times – and how these things are actually sources of tremendous pleasure and joy.
I hope you enjoy listening to this episode!
