    There are so many things that we feel pressured to do by the people around us. We need to eat better, to exercise more, to get our hair done, to dress well, the list goes on and on. And while these things aren't inherently negative, if we only do them because of the societal guilt we feel, they aren't doing us the good that we could be. In this episode, Lisa dives into how we can take back the things we feel like we have to do, the "shoulds," and turn them into real tools to take care of ourselves.

    Do your parents cringe at the idea of taking a "mental health day?" Do your kids gag at the idea of working 60-hour weeks in a cubicle wearing business formal? Our modern concept of "self-care" looks completely alien to the older generations. But they must have been taking steps to take care of themselves, right? Lisa explores how the generations are different and how they are similar when it comes to protecting our emotional and physical health. (Spoiler: they're probably more similar than you think!)

    Lisa talks with Julie Rose about her show, Top of Mind with Julie Rose. Then, we hear an episode of the show. Hundreds of parents volunteered their children as participants in the COVID-19 vaccine trials. To some of us, that seems like a crazy risk. But to those parents, it didn't feel risky at all. The way that we think about risk is complex. It changes based on the situation, and it's more arbitrary than we might want to admit. In this episode, we examine how people gauge risk, whether it's in an everyday parenting situation or a death-defying rock climb, and we look at ways to bring more rationality into our risk-taking.
