Introducing Feeling Stuck? The Proven Method to Break Free with Psychologist Angela Duckworth from The Tamsen Show. Follow the show: The Tamsen Show Most of us have been taught that when something is not working, the answer is more discipline, more willpower, and more effort. Angela Duckworth, the University of Pennsylvania psychologist and bestselling author of Grit, built her career studying that idea. Her new book, Situated, asks us to look at everything surrounding that effort. In this conversation, she explains how the people, places, objects, and cultures around us shape our motivation, behavior, and even who we become. Angela shares the terrifying moment she nearly lost her mother during a snorkeling trip—and why it taught her to stop fighting the current and ask for help. She also opens up about a difficult period in her marriage that showed her how easily we can mistake the effects of someone’s circumstances for flaws in their character. Tamsen and Angela discuss why we attach moral value to doing things the hard way, how the people closest to us change what feels possible, and where to begin when we cannot simply leave the job, home, or situation shaping us. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why trying harder can keep us trapped in a losing situation - The four parts of your environment to examine when you feel stuck - How objects within three feet of you influence your behavior - Why different people bring out different versions of who you are - What you can change when your biggest circumstances are outside your control If you liked this episode, then you’ll like: The Real Reason You Feel Stuck (and How to Fix It) with Anna Runkle and How Friendships Can Change Your Life with Minaa B.

This week on Back to the Past Podcast, we dig up one of the most unsettling horror films of the late '80s: Mary Lambert's Pet Sematary (1989), adapted from Stephen King's novel. Louis Creed moves his family to rural Maine, where a creepy burial ground beyond the pet cemetery promises to bring back what you've lost. It doesn't go well. We look at why this movie still gets under people's skin and why it holds a special place in the VHS-era horror boom. Along the way we share our own first-viewing memories and decide whether it holds up today. Key Topics Covered: The plot and the Creed family's move to Ludlow, Maine How Stephen King wrote the screenplay himself, and what changed from the novel Fred Gwynne as Jud Crandall, and the film's strong cast Zelda, Victor Pascow, and some of the most memorable scares in '80s horror The film's themes of grief, death, and the lengths people go to for the ones they love The Ramones' "Pet Sematary" and its place in the film's legacy Behind-the-scenes trivia and filming locations Gage, and why that storyline still disturbs people decades later Our final verdict: does it still hold up?
