Why Are You Still Saying Yes to This? | Weekly Energy Forecast April 14–20, 2025What are you still being loyal to… that's quietly stealing your peace?In this week's Energy Weather Report, I share the intuitive download I received when I asked, “What do you most need to know right now?” The answer was clear:It's time to let go of the things that keep you up at night.

Are you craving deeper connection? Wondering where your soul tribe is hiding?This week's energy is building toward the beautiful Full Moon in Libra—and it's all about harmony, aligned relationships, and calling in the people who really get you.

Why Smart People Make Dumb Decisions (And How to Stop) | Dr. Alan Barnard (Part 1) .

This one's for the empaths trying to figure out the difference between healthy holding and fearful hoarding. Boundaries are sacred containers. They're how you honor your energy, your time, your intuition.But when fear creeps in — fear of being drained, judged, or misunderstood — we might go from protecting to withholding.That's when our healthy boundary morphs into an energetic wall.And here's the thing: walls don't just keep others out… They can block your blessings, too.This week, I invite you to check in with yourself:Are you saying “no” from empowerment or from fear?Is that boundary rooted in truth or old trauma?And are you willing to gently lower a wall… so something beautiful can come in?This is the perfect time to realign. The moon is growing. So are you.---------------------------------Irena Miller is the playfulness behind the Mystical School of Energy Adventures (https://irenamiller.com/ ) a space to learn the stars, and sacred arts that unlock the mysteries, hunches, and unexplainable.

A man goes into a bar… This is the beginning of a riddle that our guest, Yoed Kennet, an assistant professor at the Technion's Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences, uses to measure creativity in subjects. In our talk, Yoed speaks about how to combine cognitive science and network science to explore the complexities and decode the mysteries of the human mind. The listeners will learn how network science provides tools to map and analyze human memory, revealing how problem-solving and creativity emerge from changes in semantic memory structures. Key insights include the role of memory restructuring during moments of insight, the connection between semantic networks and creative thinking, and how understanding these processes can improve problem-solving and analogical reasoning. Real-life applications span enhancing creativity in the workplace, building tools to combat cognitive rigidity in aging, and improving learning strategies by fostering richer, more flexible mental networks. ------------------------------- Want to listen ad-free?  Try our Graphs Course?  Join Data Skeptic+ for $5 / month of $50 / year https://plus.dataskeptic.com

11/11 Portal Activation!The 11/11 portal is like a divine invitation, a unique energetic gateway offering powerful vibrations for transformation and manifestation. In numerology, the number 11 holds special significance—it's a "master number" known for linking us to intuition, spiritual insight, and the bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. And on November 11th, this number doubles, creating an energetic portal that amplifies our access to higher wisdom and the potential for deep personal growth.Imagine this day as a cosmic push toward shedding limiting beliefs, setting intentions with clarity, and tapping into the collective focus of others around the world doing the same. This is a moment to align with what your heart truly desires and invite synchronicity, wisdom, and connection into your life. The 11/11 portal asks us to pause, to get intentional about what we wish to manifest, and to trust that the universe is actively supporting our journey. Whether through meditation, affirmations, or connecting with others, this day is an invitation to embrace transformation wholeheartedly.

The World Health Organization says smoking is the leading cause of global preventable death, killing up to 8 million people prematurely every year—far more than die in wars and conflicts. Yet the emotions evoked by national and international anti-smoking campaigns and the impact of those emotions has never been fully studied until now. HKS Professor Jennifer Lerner, a decision scientist who studies emotion, and Vaughan Rees, the director for the Center for Global Tobacco Control at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health, say their research involving actual smokers in the lab shows that sadness—the emotion most often evoked in anti-smoking ads—can actually induce people to smoke more. Lerner and Rees' research also found that evoking gratitude, an emotion that appears to function in nearly the exact opposite manner to sadness, made people want to smoke less and made them more likely to join a smoking-cessation program. Lerner and Rees join host Ralph Ranalli on the latest episode of the HKS PolicyCast to discuss their research and to offer research-backed policy recommendations—including closer collaboration between researchers who study emotion science, which is also known as affective science, and agencies like the Centers for Disease Control.Policy Recommendations:Jennifer Lerner's Policy Recommendations:Foster active communication and collaboration between researchers and public health agencies (e.g., CDC, FDA) to co-create health communications that integrate the latest insights from affective science.Increase awareness among lawmakers and public health policymakers that affective science has progressed beyond intuition to research-validated models that can be predictive and beneficial for behavior change.Vaughan Rees' Policy Recommendations:Expand research into integrating emotion-based strategies, such as gratitude exercises, into school-based prevention programs for adolescents to reduce the risk of tobacco and other substance use, as well as risky sexual behaviors.Introduce research-backed, emotion-based components in cessation counseling and support systems, helping individuals better manage high-risk situations and maintain abstinence after quitting.Dr. Jennifer Lerner is the Thornton F. Bradshaw Professor of Public Policy, Management and Decision Science at the Harvard Kennedy School.She is the first psychologist in the history of the Harvard Kennedy School to receive tenure.  Lerner, who also holds appointments in Harvard's Department of Psychology and Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences, conducts research that draws insights from psychology, economics, and neuroscience and aims to improve decision making in high-stakes contexts. Together with colleagues, Lerner developed a theoretical framework that successfully predicts the effects of specific emotions on specific judgment and choice outcomes. Among other honors, Lerner received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government to scientists and engineers in early stages of their careers. Lerner earned her Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California–Berkeley and was awarded a National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellowship at UCLA. She joined the Harvard faculty and received tenure in 2007, and from 2018-2019 she took a temporary leave from Harvard to serve as the Chief Decision Scientist for the United States Navy.Vaughan Rees is Director of the Center for Global Tobacco Control at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The center's mission is to reduce the global burden of tobacco-related death and disease through training, research, and the translation of science into public health policies and programs. Rees also directs the Tobacco Research Laboratory at the Harvard Chan School, where the design and potential for dependence of tobacco products are assessed. Studies examine the impact of dependence potential on product use and individual risk, to inform policy and other interventions to control tobacco harms. Rees also leads an NIH funded study which seeks to reduce secondhand smoke exposure among children from low income and racially/ethnically diverse backgrounds. His academic background is in health psychology (substance use and dependence), and he trained at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and did postdoctoral training through the National Institute on Drug Abuse in the United States.Note: Lerner and Rees collaborated on this research with former HKS doctoral student Charlie Dorison, who is now an assistant professor at Georgetown University, and former HKS doctoral student Ke Wang, who is now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Virginia. Both were co-authors on the research paper on sadness and the research paper on gratitude, which were both published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Communications and Public Affairs is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

A new survey of agribusiness professionals found that more than 70% spend more than 11 hours a week collecting, collating and analyzing data. It's a challenge being tackled by Brazilian company, Sensix, and CEO Carlos Ribeiro joins us today to talk data as a huge task on-farm and their role in optimizing decisions for farmers. Tremendous troves of data exist on the farm and, surprisingly, Carlos says the problems facing farmers in the U.S. are much the same as they are in Brazil. He gets into decision science and stresses the importance of mindset for tech adoption – despite the size of the farm. So how is Sensix uniquely solving this problem? A tech guy at heart, Carlos says he realized the amount of data needed to adequately manage farms. He tells the Sensix story, consolidating software and creating one interface for the farmer. In a time of tight farm margins, tech adoption is a tough sell. Carlos dives into their mission for a clear return on investment and putting money in farmers' pockets in the short and long-term. On his recent visit to Indiana, he marvels at farmers' data logs, appetite for decisions and looks ahead to what's next for Sensix.
