What's Really Driving Us? Steph and Beth on Incentives and Motivation

An incentive is not going to do anything for me, like I'm going to do it because it needs to be done for my health or the health of other people, or you won't do it if you don't think it's right for your health. But for me, like those aren't things that push me over the edge.
Ever caught yourself wondering, 'What's in it for me?' when faced with a decision? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Stephanie Kostopoulos and Beth Demme tackle the intriguing topic of incentives and how they shape our actions. They dive into personal stories, discussing everything from healthcare incentives for vaccinations to gym memberships and charitable giving perks. But do these incentives really work, or is there something deeper at play?
Steph and Beth explore the power of personal values and a sense of duty as motivators. They share candid reflections on how these internal drivers can sometimes outweigh external rewards. Their conversation is not just about listing examples but digging into the psychology behind why we do what we do. With their usual blend of honesty and warmth, the hosts encourage listeners to think about what truly motivates them.
Is it the promise of a reward, or is it a deeper sense of right and wrong? By the end of the episode, you'll find yourself reflecting on your own motivations and perhaps rethinking how you approach decisions in your life. Whether you're curious about the psychology of behavior or looking for a thoughtful discussion to inspire personal growth, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what really drives us.
