Power Yourself is a podcast featuring real discussions about life and happiness. We talk about happiness as a self-driven road and discuss all of the road blocks that tend to come up along the way. The idea is to talk about our lives, tips and tricks we use, difficulties we encounter, ah ha moments we have had, and to share advice and strategies that have worked (and sometimes have not worked) for us.

On the final episode of the 4th season, Jill discusses the concept of Otherizing. Why do we look at other people as radically different from ourselves?
