Wired to Connect | Improving Relationships With Mental Health + Tech, One Episode at a Time Fri, 01 May 2026 13:36:04 -0400 https://strengthssquared.com/podcast en-us © 2026 Strengths Squared. All Rights Reserved. no b3c0c5ba-42d4-5aa0-8f38-d77c1f9299d5 Lisa R. Birnbaum + Marisa M. Birnbaum episodic false *2026 Update: We’re currently exploring whether the pace, scale, adoption of AI — along with the race toward AGI — is actually inevitable; or, whether we’re simply, not looking for alternatives. Is this really the future that we all want?! What possibilities emerge when we allow ourselves to consider that yes, changing course may be difficult; and yet, the current path may not be a foregone conclusion. We’re also looking to highlight examples of AI that facilitate — not destroy — human connection. If you have thoughts on either of these topics — or know someone we should connect with — please get in touch! You can email us at: podcast@strengthssquared.com


As humans, most — if not all — of us are biologically hardwired for connection. Yet, despite living in a world where technology makes connecting with others easier than ever, so many of us are feeling a sense of loneliness and experiencing disconnection, instead. This can wreak havoc on our mental health, especially at fast-moving, ever-changing startups. So, if you're tired of all the burnout, stress, and whiplash, that gets normalized in the tech startup world — or, the misconception that founders must sacrifice their own mental health for success — then, this show is for you! At the intersection of mental health + tech, 'Wired to Connect' will empower you to redefine success in the startup ecosystem. Wired to Connect. Improving relationships with mental health + tech, one episode at a time.


𖨆𖨆Co-hosted by: startup mental health therapist, Lisa Birnbaum + startup leadership coach, Marisa Birnbaum

Does Your Startup Understand Psychological Safety & How to Foster it? How do you know whether your startup has an accurate understanding of what exactly psychological safety is; why it’s so important; & then, how to foster it, effectively?

In her book, Teaming, Harvard Business School professor & researcher, Amy Edmondson describes psychological safety as the shared belief among team members that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking. Noting that this involves, but goes beyond, interpersonal trust, Edmondson explains that it is characterized by a team climate of interpersonal trust & mutual respect, where people are comfortable being themselves. Edmondson describes psychological safety as a felt-sense of whether an environment is safe (e.g., not experiencing micro-aggressions or unconscious bias, having access to opportunities & advancements, feeling welcomed in the hybrid mix of socio-professional gatherings, believing work & contributions are valued). She indicates that when psychological safety is present the wellbeing & well-doing climate is enhanced: people feel comfortable taking risks, making mistakes, asking for help, & speaking up to challenge the status quo or improve processes. It includes a necessarily strong core of trust; & also requires compassion (compassion = empathy + action). 

Startup therapist, Lisa Birnbaum; & startup coach, Marisa Birnbaum, have seen the understanding of psychological safety & the fostering of it, vary significantly between startups. During this episode, Lisa & Marisa, talk through exactly what psychological safety looks like & sounds like in the context of your startup; why psychological safety is so important for the success of your startup; as well as, how to effectively create, build, & cultivate psychological safety, in an ongoing way, within your startup.
