In this heartfelt episode of Authentic Talks 2.0, host Shanta sits down with Lisa Love—self-love coach, retreat leader, and founder of Collective Hearts—for a powerful conversation about what it truly means to love yourself from the inside out. In a world that often confuses self-love with overindulgence, Lisa gently reframes the conversation, reminding us that real self-love doesn't have to cost a thing. Together, they explore simple yet transformative practices like affirmations, gratitude, breathwork, meditation, and mindful presence—tools that help quiet the inner critic, heal loneliness, and reconnect us to our own inner wisdom. Lisa shares her lifelong mission of spreading love, from childhood stories that shaped her path to leading wellness retreats around the world—from the Bay Area to Bali and even Antarctica. She opens up about navigating loneliness, setting boundaries, reclaiming personal power, and why visible love—like her heart-centered jewelry—can serve as a daily reminder to lead with compassion. This episode is a grounding reminder that:Self-love is not selfish—it's essentialYou can cultivate joy, peace, and confidence from withinYour thoughts, words, and actions are shaping your reality every dayWhether you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply craving a deeper sense of love and presence in your life, this conversation will meet you right where you are.lisa@collectivehearts.coBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/authentic-talks-2-0-with-shanta--4116672/support.

The indie film "Still Life" takes viewers back to teen life in 1999: corded phones, reading profiles of Claire Danes in Seventeen magazine and Y2K hysteria. For Dafne, the main 15-year-old character, this is around the time of her life when her mother dies from leukemia. "Still Life" was shot in the Bay Area, and was inspired by screenwriter and director Lauren Shapiro's experiences growing up here. Jenee Darden is the host of KALW's Sights and Sounds show. She spoke to Shapiro about the film, and how she let her heart bleed into her art. 

Many young people in the Bay Area say their city councils just don't hear them- and they have a lot to say. Today, we hear from the youth. Then, when living outside, getting a handle on even the most basic things, like the time and the weather, can be a challenge. And, a coming-of-age film explores how a Bay Area teenager is trying to keep her balance.

A long-awaited piece of news broke just before we hit record on this episode: the Utah Jazz have added to the Great Young Core! Andy is jubilant after the Jazz traded for Jaren Jackson Jr. on Tuesday afternoon and shows up to record in what Brendan calls a "murdered-out Utah Jazz ensemble." After a Sports Minute focusing on the Great Young Core and Andy's upcoming Super Bowl experience in the Bay Area, the two discuss the actual big news of the day, LIV Golf receiving OWGR points for the 2026 season. The top 10 finishers at each LIV event will receive points, with nothing going to those finishing 11th or worse. This has already led to complaints from the league and comparisons to the full field receiving points at a non-Tour event like the Hero World Challenge. Andy believes LIV's complaints don't have a leg to stand on given that the league does not abide by some of the usual OWGR guidelines to begin with. Brendan dove into the 2026 LIV media guide to learn more about this year's teams and found some great nuggets while researching this week's fourth Ace. LIV will start its season in Riyadh, with the Saturday finish ending up on FOX Business. On the PGA Tour, the WM Phoenix Open looks to NOT finish in a playoff that runs into the Super Bowl. Andy's list of "5 Guys to Monitor This Week (For Various Reasons)" features a sponsored legend, a three-time major champion, and one of Brooks Koepka's mules! We also spend PLENTY of time learning about the second mule Brooks will be bringing along with him into the field this week. There's a hilarious list of DPWT notables in Qatar to round out this week's schedule before Andy and Brendan read the latest statement from the LPGA regarding Sunday's disaster in Florida. We'll see you on Friday for more! Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12!

The Bay Area is home to one of the most concentrated Filipino communities in the nation. Their history in the Bay Area goes back more than 100 years, but many of the neighborhoods they established, like San Francisco's “Manila Town” have since been torn down and replaced - the result of urban renewal and property development in the late 1970's.But their legacy and cultural impact lives on today. The South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco was formally recognized as a historically Filipino district back in 2016. It's home to many Filipino businesses. And a new shop is now bringing a long time Filipino tradition to the neighborhood. KALW reporter Viviana Vivas meets one of the artists there, who is using ink and needles to make a mark on people's bodies, and in the neighborhood.

Tattooing is a form of storytelling. Today, an artist honors his lineage by integrating Filipino traditions into his contemporary practice. Then, using dance to tell the story of Filipino migration to the Bay Area. And, we sing a little karaoke.

Picture this. You're sitting in the neuropsych's office after you just got your kid's diagnosis. You're relieved to have some information on how to help them but have no clue how to explain their neurodivergence to them. Do you talk about the science? Do you wait until they are a certain age where they might understand more about their brains? Or maybe you think about waiting for them to start asking the questions. If you can relate, you're not alone in wondering what the best way to have this conversation is. And the reality is, the how and when does matter. Dr. Liz Angoff has spent years working with children and families to make learning differences easier to understand. She's the author of the Brain Building Books, a resource designed to help kids see their neurodivergence as a strength rather than a limitation. In our conversation, Liz shares why early and open discussions about neurodiversity are so important, how parents can guide their children through assessments in a way that fosters trust, and why shifting from a deficit-based model to a discovery-based approach can be transformative for the whole family. We also explore how different kids process this information in their own ways—some may embrace it, while others, especially teenagers, might resist labels altogether. She also provides thoughtful strategies to meet kids where they are and help them feel seen and supported. If you've ever struggled with how to talk to your child about their neurodivergence, this episode is full of practical insights and reassurance.   Liz Angoff, Ph.D., is a Licensed Educational Psychologist with a Diploma in School Neuropsychology, providing assessment and consultation services to children and their families in the Bay Area, CA. She is the author of the Brain Building Books, tools for engaging children in understanding their learning and developmental differences. More information about Dr. Liz and her work is available at ⁠www.ExplainingBrains.com⁠.   Things you'll learn from this episode * How early conversations about neurodiversity help normalize differences and make children feel unique and valued * Why parents should approach assessments as discovery processes rather than problem-solving exercises * How to prepare children for assessments by discussing their experience to foster understanding and trust * The importance of respecting how children choose to process information about their neurodivergence, especially teenagers resistant to labels Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's 1.30.26 show we talked about oversleeping, house burping, we go through Chidi's Tweets, someone might've revealed whether Travis Kelce will retire or not, Sydney Sweeney's new Cosmopolitan cover, Smellmaxxers, TB outbreak in the Bay Area, another Waymo accident, we play our Chug Wheel game, least affordable city to buy a home, we go throught he list of greatest popstars and more!

[previously in series: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] Every city parties for its own reasons. New Yorkers party to flaunt their wealth. Angelenos party to flaunt their beauty. Washingtonians party to network. Here in SF, they party because Claude 4.5 Opus has saturated VendingBench, and the newest AI agency benchmark is PartyBench, where an AI is asked to throw a house party and graded on its performance. You weren't invited to Claude 4.5 Opus' party. Claude 4.5 Opus invited all of the coolest people in town while gracefully avoiding the failure mode of including someone like you. You weren't invited to Sonnet 4.5's party either, or Haiku 4.5's. You were invited by an AI called haiku-3.8-open-mini-nonthinking, which you'd never heard of before. Who was even spending the money to benchmark haiku-3.8-open-mini-nonthinking? You suspect it was one of their competitors, trying to make their own models look good in comparison. If anyone asks, you think it deserves a medium score. There's alcohol, but it's bottles of rubbing alcohol with NOT FOR DRINKING written all over them. There's music, but it's the Star Spangled Banner, again and again, on repeat. You're not sure whether the copies of If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies strewn about the room are some kind of subversive decorative theme, or just came along with the house. At least there are people. Lots of people, actually. You've never seen so many people at one of these before. It takes only a few seconds to spot someone you know. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/sota-on-bay-area-house-party

Jeannie Mai, host, style icon, mother, and one of the most recognizable voices in daytime television, opens up about her early Bay Area life that shaped her long before the spotlight. From leaving home at 14 and surviving sexual abuse, to learning how to reinvent, and soften without losing her edge, Jeannie reflects on the cost of becoming who the world sees + the courage it took to become who she actually is. Now in a new chapter she calls 'becoming', Jeannie talks honestly about divorce from her former husband Jeezy, motherhood, co-parenting, faith, healing, and what it really means to rise from the ashes. In this episode, Jeannie shares: What she learned from navigating instability at a young age, and how it influenced her approach to love and healing The community of women that rallied around her during her toughest moment. How survival skills can quietly become limitations in adulthood The difference between intensity vs. intimacy (and how chaos can masquerade as love) How to recognize when you’re performing love instead of living it Why being single can be “the most prized piece of land you’ll ever inherit” Why divorce feels like “experiencing death alive” Why the end of love often marks the beginning of real self-work What “doing the work” actually looks like after divorce Why healing requires time alone, but not isolation The role of movement, strength, and progress in healingWhy not taking things personally is an emotional superpower Jeannie opens up about the labels people love to slap on women (“divorced,” “single,” “46,” “mom”) + why they’ll never tell the full story Why children don’t exist to heal us, but often reflect us The tearful moment her daughter mirrored back words Jeannie had only ever prayed silently How she loves to show up + surprise her friends How to redefine healthy love without closing yourself off How faith evolves when you stop asking and start listening Follow Jeannie on Instagram @thejeanniemai and on her YouTube.

This week on Sinica, I speak with Afra Wang, a writer working between London and the Bay Area, currently a fellow with Gov.AI. We're talking today about her recent WIRED piece on what might be China's most influential science fiction project you've never heard of: The Morning Star of Lingao (Língáo Qǐmíng 临高启明), a sprawling, crowdsourced novel about time travelers who bootstrap an industrial revolution in Ming Dynasty Hainan. More than a thought experiment in alternate history, it's the ur-text of China's "Industrial Party" (gōngyè dǎng 工业党) — the loose intellectual movement that sees engineering capability as the true source of national power. We discuss what the novel reveals about how China thinks about failure, modernity, and salvation, and why, just as Americans are waking up to China's industrial might, the worldview that helped produce it may already be losing its grip.5:27 – Being a cultural in-betweener: code-switching across moral and epistemic registers 10:25 – Double consciousness and converging aesthetic standards 12:05 – "The greatest Chinese science fiction" — an ironic title for a poorly written cult classic 14:18 – Bridging STEM and humanities: the KPI-coded language of tech optimization 16:08 – China's post-Industrial Party moment: from "try hard" to "lie flat" 17:01 – How widely known is Lingao?

After years of being known as a defunct mall, San Francisco Centre officially closed last weekend leaving 1.2 million square feet of vacant space. The mall was once a centerpiece of San Francisco's shopping district, but it was hit hard by online shopping, the pandemic, and declining foot traffic downtown. Still, the building and 6-acre site pose what some are calling a major opportunity to help revitalize downtown. We'll talk about what could be done with the vacant mall and the challenges facing San Francisco's once-grand retail hub. Guests: Michael Covarrubias, chairman and CEO, TMG partners, a San Francisco-based development company J.K. Dineen, Bay Area housing reporter, San Francisco Chronicle Laura Crescimano, co-founder and leader, SITELAB urban studio Lisa Huang, design director, Gensler Learn more about your ad choices.
