It's an old story. Really old: young woman, Great Man. Predictable outcome: heartbreak for her, no consequences for him. But wait … there's a twist. He dies, abruptly, although he lives on in song and story, in history and in her story. “She”—her, just plain lives on. Flattened at first, marked by an invisible hoofprint seared into her being, but then reconfiguring and gathering speed toward an unexpected life. More than 60 years after John F. Kennedy's assassination, Diana De Vegh, an 84-year-old New York psychotherapist has broken her silence on an alleged love affair between the two. According to Diana, Kennedy courted her when she was a 20-year-old student at Radcliffe. The pair continued their affair for 4 years. It ended a year before his assassination. She chose to go public now to help other women who are engrossed in relationships where she feels there are unequal power dynamics. She says, “The whole idea of conferred specialness—‘You go to bed with me, I'll make you special', we have seen a lot of that with Harvey Weinstein, and Roger Ailes.       diana de vegh MP3jPLAYLISTS.inline_1 = [ { name: "diana de vegh", formats: ["mp3"], mp3: "aHR0cDovL3RhbGt3aXRoZnJhbmNlc2NhLmNvbS93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMi8wOS9kaWFuYS1kZS12ZWdoLm1wMw==", counterpart:"", artist: "", image: "", imgurl: "" } ]; MP3jPLAYERS[1] = { list: MP3jPLAYLISTS.inline_1, tr:0, type:'single', lstate:'', loop:false, play_txt:'     ', pause_txt:'     ', pp_title:'', autoplay:false, download:false, vol:100, height:'' };

Author of "This is Assisted Dying", Dr. Stefanie Green has been forging new paths in the field of medical assistance in dying since 2016.  Dr. Green reveals the reasons a patient might seek an assisted death, how the process works, what the event itself can look like, the reactions of those involved, and what it feels like to oversee proceedings and administer medications that hasten death. She describes the extraordinary people she meets and the unusual circumstances she encounters as she navigates the intricacy, intensity, and utter humanity of these powerful interactions.

Understanding how the mind of a criminal thinks radically differently from others as well as how such a person becomes ingenious at casing others out for his or her own purposes seems like a pretty good reason to invite Forensic Psychologist Dr. Stanton Samenow, author of Inside The Criminal Mind who has spent 50 years as a researcher, clinician, consultant and expert witness specializing in criminal behavior.  He has appeared on 60 minutes, Oprah, good morning America and Today.

Why do so many women feel that men don't tell them anything, that they only want to fix everything? Why do so many men feel that women nag them and never get to the point? Sociolinguist and bestselling author of “That's not what I meant!” ,Deborah Tannen, a professor of linguistics at Georgetown university offers revolutionary answers to these and other questions that confuse women's and men's attempts to communicate with each other.  She has some stunning evidence from her own studies where she shows that men and women live in different worlds, even under the same roof. From a very early age, girls play with a best friend or a small group and use language to seek confirmation and reinforce intimacy, while boys use language to negotiate status in large group activities.  As a result, men and women have completely different impressions of the same conversation. Listen to find a peace treaty in the battle of the sexes.

By now, most of us are at least aware that food affects so much of our health.  Some foods can actually cause a surprising range of health problems, the list goes on and on from infertility to weight gain, breast and prostate cancer, chronic pain to low moods and memory loss.  All of these conditions have one thing in common, they are fueled by hormones. But the great news is you have the power to change your hormones with the food choices you make…hormone adjusting foods can actually revolutionize your health!

For all the love and attention we give our pets,  so much of what they do remains mysterious. We know what it means when dogs wag their tails—but what about when they sniff and roll on a stinky spot? Why do they play tug-of-war with one dog, while showing their bellies to another? Why are some dogs shy, while others are bold? What goes on in dogs' heads and hearts—and how much can we know and understand?

var MP3jPLAYLISTS = []; var MP3jPLAYERS = [];  This show is about how two doctors had separated identical twins to study them, BUT never told the twins or their adoptive parents of the existence of their siblings. It sounds like something from a science fiction novel, doesn't it? This couldn't happen in the United States. But as Dr. Nancy Segal,  investigated further, she discovered, to her surprise and horror, that such a study had in fact happened. The details were not quite as straightforward as she had been led to believe, but twins were indeed separated from each other and studied by scientists, who kept the purposes of their work secret.         nancy segal twf - nancy segal twf MP3jPLAYLISTS.inline_0 = [ { name: "nancy segal twf", formats: ["mp3"], mp3: "aHR0cDovL3RhbGt3aXRoZnJhbmNlc2NhLmNvbS93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMS8xMi9uYW5jeS1zZWdhbC10d2YubXAz", counterpart:"", artist: "nancy segal twf", image: "", imgurl: "" } ]; MP3jPLAYERS[0] = { list: MP3jPLAYLISTS.inline_0, tr:0, type:'single', lstate:'', loop:false, play_txt:'     ', pause_txt:'     ', pp_title:'', autoplay:false, download:false, vol:100, height:'' };

 THE FAIRY TALE IS OVER . . .  THERE IS A NEW EMPLOYMENT REALITY!

When it comes to sex and relationship problems, there are just too many leading lives of quiet desperation. Sometimes you can be lying in bed next to someone and feel a million miles apart.The problem is talking about sex and relationships is hard, but being silent can be even harder in the long run. Dr. Ian Kerner is a  New York Times bestselling author;  his newest book, "So tell me about the last time you had sex" is a must read!  Dr. Kerner is regularly quoted as an expert in various media, with recent features in The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Economist and NPR.  He contributes regularly on the topic of sex for CNN Health. He lectures frequently on topics related to sex and relationships, with recent presentations at New York University, Yale and Princeton.  

Did you know that if you adopt a vegan diet you can enjoy better sex? Save money? Have glowing skin? You can ward off Alzheimer’s, Type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and other metabolic diseases. Join the cool kids, like Gandhi, Tolstoy, Leonardo—and Kyrie Irving, Kat Von D, and Joaquin Phoenix. Oh, and did we mention have better sex? (It’s about blood flow.) Those are just some of the 72 reasons we should all be vegan, as compiled and persuasively argued by Gene Stone and Kathy Freston, two of the leading voices in the ever-growing movement to eat a plant-based diet. While plenty of books tell you how to go vegan, 72 Reasons to Be Vegan is the book that tells you why. And it does so in a way that emphasizes not what you’d be giving up, but what you’d be gaining.

Because of the coronavirus, we have been restricted to living and working inside our homes. Confined and constrained, some are tempted to compare the coronavirus quarantine to Anne Frank hiding in an attic for years during World War II. But we have televisions, cell phones, plenty of food and the ability to go outside. No one is trying to kill anyone. No one is selecting you for death because of your religion. The virus is taking lives, but it’s not the Nazis; there is no evil here, only tragedy. Although incomparable, her story has particular resonance today. Daphe Geismar’s mother and father—separated from their families—went into hiding to escape a horrific regime in the German-occupied Netherlands. An extraordinary cache of letters and documents from their ordeal reveal experiences of isolation, fear and uncertainty. The world is wondering how long this isolation will last. Daphe tells us how they coped with their uncertainty.

If you were to spend a day noticing how you talk about other people, you might begin to recognize a slightly compulsive quality in your desire to share the news. Maybe you do it to be entertaining or to lighten the atmosphere. Maybe your impulse is purely social, a way of bonding with others. But anyone who's tried to stop gossiping usually finds out that it isn't an easy habit to break. How to identify good vs. bad gossip in this episode.

Scientist Dr. Mary Wingo weighs in on the novel coronavirus and cautions on other potential pandemics including mental health, suicides and drug and alcohol abuse during this unprecedented time.

Running 30 miles each week, Lisa Lindahl found no garments that could adequately support a woman’s breasts during athletic activities. She made a list of qualities an athletic bra should have, including stable straps, no chafing from seams or clasps, breathable fabric and enough compression to prevent excessive movement. Lindahl asked her childhood friend, Smith, to help develop her idea. After several prototypes, Smith sewed two jockstraps together and Lindahl tested it on a run. This became the first workable sports bra prototype. Patented in 1979, the athletic brassiere was commercialized as the Jogbra, featuring a seamless, compressing front panel, non-chafing exterior seams, crossing elastic straps and a wide elastic rib band for support. Lisa Lindahl will become one of the newest Inductees at the 48thAnnual NIHF Induction Ceremony.

What is a hunch or intuition exactly? Roughly 90 percent of the critical decisions a person actually makes will generally be based more on their gut about the right thing to do rather than hard data. So if you are walking around with a stomachache..maybe something is off!!! Great intuition is not ESP or magic, it's making quick, good decisions on experience. Firefighters are able to make life-and-death decisions rapidly because they pick up on the clues of what is happening and know intuitively how they should react without requiring detailed analysis. Cognitive psychologist Gary Klein, a keen observer of people in their natural settings is going to chat with us about when, why and how insights are formed. Gary is the author of Seeing What Others Don’t, The Remarkable Ways We Gain Insights. 

Our entire culture believes not only are all females naturally more nurturing than men, but that motherhood is instinctual and that of course, all mothers love their children unconditionally. But science research writer Peg Streep has done a ton of research and she tells us otherwise.

Women are closing the infidelity gap. They just aren't talking about it. At least not in a voice above a whisper. In matters of female desire, sexuality, and monogamy in particular, "normal" apparently is in desperate need of being redefined.  Wednesday Martin's newest book, Untrue, may very well set off nuclear bombs in the bedrooms and boardrooms.  

 Researchers have been studying  for decades  the different ways that the birth control pill influences the structure of the brain, the function of the brain, and the way that it influences who we're attracted to romantically. Additionally, it can influence the quality of our relationships. It influences the stress response which is so far downstream from sex hormones that most people would never imagine that the pill would have an influence on these types of processes. Dr. Sarah Hill's deep dive into decades of research compelled her to write a book and share the information with other women.  

Traditional approaches to listening improvement are usually ineffective because they come from a point of view of altering surface features instead of reshaping the foundation. If we are to end the suffering associated with not listening, we need to dig deeper to get to the source so change can take place. Listen to Rebecaa Shafir have a real conversation on how to most effectively listen.

Mark Bowden’s non-verbal techniques for influence and persuasion have been described in the Canadian national press as a “secret weapon” for G7leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. His techniques derive from evolutionary psychology, behavioral psychology and embodied cognition. Most notable is Bowden's GesturePlane System, and the specific use of open palm hand gestures in what he coins as the "TruthPlane" (the horizontal plane at navel height on the human body) to create feelings of trust, credibility, and confidence when communicating. This model was first put forward in his 2010 book, Winning Body Language. A must listen to show!

Leslie Morgan Steiner is the author of Crazy Love, a memoir about her marriage to a man who routinely abused and threatened her; she describes the harrowing details that unfolded unexpectedly -- from the moment she met a warm, loving, infatuated man on the subway, to the moment he first laid a hand on her, when he grabbed her neck just days before her wedding. Leslie was in "crazy love" — that is, madly in love with a man who routinely abused her and threatened her life.

  The idea of an older woman dating a younger guy isn’t exactly a new revelation; it’s a dynamic that’s featured across multiple cultures for centuries gone by. That said, older woman/younger man relationships have become increasingly visible in recent years, though that visibility hasn’t necessarily translated into a shift in societal norms. In search of an expert angle, Francesca interviews Susan Winter, best selling author, Older Women, Younger Men.
