Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

Many years ago a male friend gave me jewelry that I knew I would never wear.
I asked him if he could return it and if we could pick out something I would wear.
We did.
I am still friends with him and I recently asked him about that experience.
He said it stung at first but once he got passed that, he was glad I got something I liked. (I still wear the earrings we picked out together. Yes. My husband knows. No. He doesn't care.)
But did I do the right thing?
When I was in high school my dad made me return a stuffed animal a boy gave me because he (my dad) didn't like him (the boy). To this day I wish I had hidden it in my closet or even thrown it away instead.
The heartbreak on his face still haunts me. He was a nice kid and I liked him.
I wondered how other people handled receiving gifts. Diane Helbig, Dr. Rhonda Bompensa-Zimmerman and Philip Tate, APR, were kind enough to spend some time with me discussing this topic.
As with many things on Quick Hits, gift receiving is nuanced and fraught with pitfalls.
I think I need to do one about gift giving too.
What about you? What do you do when you get a gift you don't like?
