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.

The English language has all kinds of words that bump up against each other. What they mean and how we use them may depend on the person we are trying to describe more than what is actually happening.
In psychology we identify something as being a problem with it starts to negatively impact your life. But when other people try to put boundaries on what you should and shouldn't do, they may tell you there is a negative impact when you don't think there is.
Who gets to say?
The dictionary definitions are interesting:
Ambition: an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth, and the willingness to strive for its attainment
Obsession: to dominate or preoccupy the thoughts, feelings, or desires of (a person); beset, trouble, or haunt persistently or abnormally
It's the "abnormally" bit that makes it tricky.
Ashley Owens, Sara Oblak Speicher, MBA, Royce King and I got to have a conversation about this topic.
Do you think women are more likely to be judged obsessive?
