We process information every day from other people’s body language, receiving meaning and messages simply from someone’s physical stance. But what does our own body language communicate to us?

Social psychologist Amy Cuddy believes that by simply changing your body language, you can change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to transform your life for the better. She discusses the concept of power posing, which involves open confident postures that can increase levels of testosterone and decrease levels of cortisol—leading to greater feelings of confidence and reduced levels of stress. In other words, “fake it until you become it.” And if two minutes of power posing could have a positive effect on our lives and then ripple out to our kiddos, why wouldn’t we give it a try?

We all know play is a necessary part of childhood, but we sometimes forget how much we need it in our adult lives as well. Play not only nurtures your relationship with your kiddos, but it’s also important as an adult to destress, boost your creativity and problem-solving skills, and be more present. Today, Shonda Rhimes, creator of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How To Get Away With Murder, walks us through her Year of Yes, and how she rediscovered her love for all things after pushing through work for too long.

We’ve been told too many times that the goal of motherhood is to be a superwoman—to juggle all the things, and to do it with a smile. But the more we expect ourselves to reach that impossibility, the more we set ourselves up for failure. So maybe instead of trying to be perfect in every area, we need to change our expectations. In today’s throwback episode, Tiffany Dufu gives us a hall pass to drop a ball, or two, or three, in order to make us more productive and fulfilled.
