You love your kids… and you're still exhausted. In this episode of Raising Me, Adrienne Stein talks with psychiatrist Dr. Jeffrey Barkin about parental burnout—what it is, how it shows up (irritability, numbness, resentment, brain fog), and why it's so common right now. Dr. Barkin shares practical ways to reset your nervous system, ask for support, and reduce the mental load—so you can feel more like you again. Parental burnout is more than being tired — it's chronic stress and overload that can impact mood, sleep, relationships, and the ability to feel present at home. Dr. Barkin explains that burnout can show up in different ways, including irritability, brain fog, resentment, or feeling constantly “on edge.” He also discusses how ongoing stress affects the nervous system and why parents may feel guilt or shame even when they're doing their best. The episode includes practical steps parents can try right away — from quick in-the-moment resets to longer-term strategies for reducing the mental load, setting boundaries, and building a support plan.

I sat down with President Mary C. Daly, President and CEO of the San Francisco Federal Reserve, and President Tom Barkin, President and CEO of the Richmond Federal Reserve to talk about the current state of the US economy as we go into 2026. We look back to the past, particularly the 1970s and the 1990s, to understand what those periods can teach us about inflation and policy decisions today. We also talk about the persistent uncertainty we are facing in geopolitics and technology, and the growing gap between the economic data and how people feel. We talk about the headwinds we are facing and the tailwinds to be excited about. And finally, we spend time on what's often missed in these conversations - the sources of resilience and the reasons that there is still room for optimism.Full transcript at kyla.substack.com

Neal Stephenson—legendary sci-fi author who coined "metaverse" in his 1992 novel Snow Crash—and Rebecca Barkin, co-founder of Lamina1, return to the AI XR Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about building a decentralized creator economy, launching their dystopian AI world-building project Artifact, and why blockchain might finally free creators from Big Tech's chokehold. Joined by Charlie, Ted, and Rony, the discussion spans Neal's lost Magic Leap project, the resurrection of the open metaverse dream, and how decentralized platforms could flip Hollywood's power structure on its head.Rebecca details Lamina1's journey from blockchain currency for the open metaverse to Spaces, a multimedia creator platform built on Ethereum that allows IP owners to retain control, set royalties, and build direct relationships with fans. Think YouTube meets Discord, but on decentralized rails. The goal isn't socialism—it's a creative meritocracy where artists get equity in platforms they help build, instead of just one-time payouts while Netflix captures all the value.Neal unpacks Artifact, Lamina1's first creative test case: a post-Singularity world where 12 competing mega-AIs fight over energy, copper, water, and GPUs while humans live in the interstices. Co-created with Weta Workshop using AI tools like World Labs' marble splats, the project invites fans to co-create lore, not just consume it. It's a living experiment in collaborative IP development—and proof that small teams with AI amplifiers can build Grand Theft Auto-scale worlds.Guest HighlightsNeal Stephenson coined "metaverse" in Snow Crash; former Magic Leap creative lead with lost IP still trapped at the company.Rebecca Barkin pivoted Lamina1 from metaverse currency to Spaces: a decentralized platform for multimedia creators retaining IP rights and earning equity.Artifact launches as Lamina1's test case—collaborative world-building in a dystopian post-AI Singularity where fans shape the narrative.Built on Ethereum with Consensus Network backing; uses blockchain to solve micro-transaction volatility and give creators sustainable economics.Signed Bob's Burgers team (Ghosted Media) and other Hollywood refugees seeking autonomy from studio gatekeepers.News HighlightsValve launches PC cube + wireless Index headset—sub-$1000 system to compete with Xbox/PlayStation and revive PCVR market, but will enthusiasts bite?Meta adds real-time computer vision to AI glasses—Ray-Ban smart glasses gain live AI interpretation, pushing toward inflection point for wearables.Google Maps integrates Gemini AI—natural language directions and real-world context awareness transform navigation into conversational copilot.11 Labs launches voice marketplace—Michael Caine licenses voice cloning; Matthew McConaughey invests but won't sell his own likeness.Disney announces AI user-generated content strategy—Bob Iger teases platforms for fans to create with Disney IP, following Lego's remix culture playbook.Big thanks to our sponsor Zappar.

Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Tom Barkin said unemployment and inflation have moved away from the US central bank's goals. Barkin stated that the downside risk for both unemployment and inflation is limited, and the bank will adjust its stance as it learns more. Barkin said the recent rate cut moves Fed policy closer to a level that neither stimulates nor restricts the US economy, which should help support the labor market while maintaining pressure on inflation. He speaks with Bloomberg's Michael McKeeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Host Susan Ryan sits down with visionary eldercare advocate and Pioneer Network co-founder Barry Barkin for a profound conversation on reimagining aging and the transformative potential of community, spirit, and consciousness. Barkin shares his journey from founding the Live Oak Institute to helping launch the Pioneer Network, driven by a belief that aging is not a problem to solve but a gift to elevate. He recounts his efforts to create a regenerative, inclusive community at the Jewish Home in Oakland—an idea that initially faced rejection but ultimately gained momentum and global influence, including a successful expansion into 15 homes in Israel. But this conversation goes beyond history. Barry offers a deeply reflective vision for a paradigm shift—a movement from a worldview rooted in domination and separation to one grounded in interconnection, kindness, and sufficiency. He challenges listeners to see humanity as one living being, where every person and every creature matters. Together, Susan and Barry explore the concept of “Elder Awesome” and moving beyond traditional notions of “elder care.” They also discuss the “Tao of Blessings”—a personal path to leave grace in every encounter Barkin offers his vision for communities and care environments rooted in equity, dignity, and accountability.

With mounting pressure from President Trump and investors to lower interest rates, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve's upcoming decision later this month. In this bonus episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-host Gunjan Banerji is joined by Tom Barkin, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, to discuss the future of monetary policy, inflation and tariffs, and why he's in no rush to cut interest rates. Plus, Barkin shares why he likens the current economic environment to “driving through fog,” the connection between consumer sentiment and spending, and how AI could reshape the job market.
