Listen to the Podcast

In this episode of Between Sessions with Berries, Kym sits down with Dr. Tina Seelig, Executive Director of Knight-Hennessy Scholars, Director Emerita of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, and author of 18 books, including her newest, What I Wish I Knew About Luck. Tina earned her PhD in neuroscience at Stanford Medical School, and she explains why luck and fortune are two very different things and walks through a framework for creating the conditions that make good luck more likely. The conversation also gets practical for therapists, with a new way to look at imposter syndrome and an exercise that helps people see how much of their success they actually shaped.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • The definition of luck most people can’t put into words, and where agency fits in.

  • Five ways to engage with luck, from shutting the shutters to setting sail.

  • What it takes to build your ship before you try to catch the winds of luck.

  • How to map your personal risk profile with Tina’s “risk-ometer”.

  • Why luck seldom sails solo, and the daily habit Tina credits for waves of goodwill.

  • A reframe for imposter syndrome that applies to clinicians and clients alike.

  • The fortune and luck resume and what it shows about the choices behind success.
