In this episode, Dr. K'dee Crews and Amanda Anguish show why boredom is a feature—not a flaw—revealing how small doses boost creativity (convergent thinking), problem-solving, resilience, and true rest, plus simple ways to add healthy “white space” to busy lives.—
Today's guest has rewired modern hip-hop. His fingerprints live all over the last decade but the real story behind that success is far more human, painful, and transformative than the headlines ever show. In this conversation, he opens up about the highs and lows of being a producer in hip-hop: the pressure, the politics, the contracts, the moments that nearly broke him, and the breakthroughs that almost didn't happen. He also shares the lessons shaped by fatherhood, betrayal, and real perseverance — all while creating some of the most important and culture-defining music of our time. And The Writer Is... Hitboy!

The counterintuitive use of sleep deprivation as a rapid treatment for major depression finds itself squarely in Matt's spotlight today. He begins by discussing its origins in the 1970s, where one night of wakefulness induced temporary remission in 40-60% of patients, and goes on to note that this effect is fragile, with an 83% relapse rate after recovery sleep, pointing to a paradox where sleep itself may be depressogenic for some.Matt reviews the neuroscientific explanations, including the "overarousal hypothesis," which suggests the therapy works by calming hyperactive brain regions like the amygdala. The episode also covers chronotherapy's role in extending these benefits before presenting a modern conundrum: a 2022 meta-analysis that challenges the standalone efficacy of sleep deprivation, pitting decades of clinical observation against rigorous scientific review. This sets the stage for a scientific reckoning, where the dream of a fast-acting cure confronts the sobering reality of modern evidence.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.As a huge supporter of mission-driven companies, Matt recommends new partner Branch Basics.

You may find the charges in this episode jarring: depression is not the result of a chemical imbalance, SSRIs aren't necessarily antidepressants, and the term you use for your mental health condition isn't scientifically valid. Sarah Fay, author of Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses says it's dangerous to identify with your diagnosis because it's kind of made up and it blocks your path to recovery.A doctor told her she was “an anorexic” when Sarah was 12 years old, even though she didn't meet many of the criteria for anorexia. Sarah embraced the identity, taking on the behaviors and habits of a person with that eating disorder. Later in life, she was diagnosed with five more disorders, each time embracing the tag, all while her mental health deteriorated. Finally, another doctor said he didn't know what was the matter with her and that gave Sarah some peace and a chance to focus on feeling better. She saw her mental makeup as something not bound by the names of disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual used by mental health professionals. While she still takes meds and sees a therapist and a psychiatrist, Sarah has come to believe that everyone's focus needs to be on recovery rather than focusing on the limitations borne of terms she says are way too subjective and that don't stand up to scientific scrutiny.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

An unprecedented slump in Chinese investment. That's what one media outlet called it. I don't think slump is the right word. Crash might be a more appropriate one. While that tends to be overused, the numbers show not in this case. Especially when they are backed up by a crash in household lending in China, too, as Chinese banks just put up more grim stats. And all of this confirmation of what I told you months ago, the something big has changed over there this summer.

If slowing down feels wrong but your body is begging for rest, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm talking to the woman who has always been the go-hard achiever — the early workouts, the hustle, the I-don't-need-rest mindset. But now your body feels like it's pushing back, and slowing down feels uncomfortable or even scary. I've been there, and I want to help you make sense of what your body is trying to say. Instead of guessing or feeling guilty, I'm giving you a simple, practical five-question check-in to help you know whether your body needs rest or whether gentle movement will actually make you feel better. Because in a healing season, both rest and movement are powerful — it's just about choosing the right one for the day you're in. You'll learn why the signals you're feeling are a sign of recovery, not failure. I'll walk you through what this looks like in different phases of healing — from burnout, to rebuilding, to thriving again. We'll also talk about the mental side of this: letting go of the belief that discipline only counts when you push harder. Resting doesn't make you weak. It makes you wiser. And the more you listen to your body, the faster your energy, hormones, and confidence return. By the end of this episode, you'll have a tool you can use anytime you're unsure of what your body needs. This is how you build trust with yourself again — one decision at a time. So take a breath, tune in, and let's help your body feel safe and strong again.

From horse tranquilizer to mental health treatment — what's the real story about ketamine? Nick Pell breaks it down on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1241On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Ketamine therapy shows promise for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic pain, but it's serious medicine requiring proper medical supervision, not a recreational escape or wellness trend.Clinical ketamine treatment involves IV administration with precise dosing, vital monitoring, and trained medical attendants — drastically different from recreational use that can cause severe bladder damage and other complications.The rise of telehealth ketamine clinics and mail-order treatments represents a concerning trend — proper vetting requires full psych evaluations, bloodwork, and screening by legitimate medical professionals, not vague promises.Recreational ketamine use carries significant addiction potential and health risks, particularly bladder damage from chronic high doses — clinical settings minimize these dangers through controlled administration.If you're considering ketamine therapy, start with a therapist and real medical doctor. Look for evidence-based treatment with proper intake procedures, not spa-like "optimization centers" making grandiose claims.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Let's go back about 85 years. It's November, 1941, and America is about to enter World War II, when once again we will discover that we are a cold-footed, sockless nation. We have been here before. Think Revolutionary War, then the Civil War, and then World War I. But coming out of the Depression when there was not much money, we have evolved. We are now a nation of knitters--10 million knitters strong according to estimates from the National Dry Goods Association. So when the men pick up their guns, women pick up their needles once again, according to Anne Macdonald in No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting. What's different? This time we have more music to knit by, like Glenn Miller's "Knit One, Purl Two" (you can ask Alexa to play it for you). Emily Post also decides on some rules of etiquette for knitting in public like "Do not wave long or shiny needles about in the air" (Macdonald, p. 304), so if you are doing that, stop it. But more than anything, accounts of knitting at the time speak to how it keeps us calm and connected, and in that way, it's good for everybody, knitters and wearers alike. Handknit garments helped the men at the front because they were"visible evidence that someone at home has been thinking about him--a lot. ... Nothing warms the hearts of the boys away from home like articles knitted by the loving hands of those they hold near and dear."Quoted in Anne L. Macdonald's No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting (New York: Ballantine Books, 1988), p. 294.Knitting also helped the knitter, as writer Jane Cobb explained: Knitters "get satisfaction from the orderly row of stitches falling into patterns of accomplishment. In times like these there are few occupations that have that sort of effect. It is quite possible that women in wartime knit as much for the knitting as for what their knitting accomplished" (quoted in Macdonald, p. 298).So as we enter the season of thanks and perhaps some panic knitting for holiday gifts, stop waving your needles, ask Alexa to play "Knit One, Purl Two," and then take a breath and a moment to enjoy the "orderly row of stitches falling into patterns of accomplishment." Then make our Pecan Pie, and we have no doubt that many hearts will be warmed.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.It has been a whirlwind few days in the world of Dolly Parton, with headlines buzzing about her creative projects, business moves, and signature candor. The most significant and biographically weighty news is the release of her new memoir, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage. Out as of November 12, this final installment in her trilogy is a sweeping reflection on her seven decades as a performer—from the Tennessee mountains to the global stage. As described by Penguin Random House and echoed by Entertainment Weekly, the memoir is part love letter to her fans, part career retrospective, and brims with rich stories of working with legends like Porter Wagoner, Kenny Rogers, and Emmylou Harris. On social media, Parton thanked fans, noting that her career “has been a love affair with the stage and the wonderful people who made it all possible.”With the holiday season approaching, she's in public view both on and off stage. The new North American tour of Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol—a Depression-era retelling of Dickens set in East Tennessee, with music and lyrics by Dolly herself—has just opened its 2025–2026 Broadway Series run. The Carson Center and regional venues highlight the show's uplifting family-friendly spirit and appalachian touches. While Dolly herself does not appear, her songwriting is at the heart of the production.Also capturing attention, the innovative Threads: My Songs in Symphony experience marks a new chapter in how fans see and hear her work. Rolling out in Raleigh, Oklahoma City, and other cities this November, this multimedia symphonic celebration combines new orchestral arrangements, archival footage, and Dolly's own narration on screen. She describes it as the musical tapestry of her life. Audiences are especially curious about its previews of unreleased pieces from her forthcoming Broadway musical.Businesswise, Dolly Parton's collaboration with Kendra Scott just launched its third Change It! jewelry collection, inspired by her song from 9 to 5: The Musical. Harper's Bazaar reports the holiday line is all about creative reinvention, reflecting her ongoing influence on style and self-empowerment. Recent press also noted that her business empire continues to thrive through merchandise, fragrances, books, and partnerships with brands like Duncan Hines.Finally, on the lighter side: her early-rising habits—getting up at 3 a.m.—made the rounds courtesy of American Songwriter, and fan events such as Knights of the Round (Turn)Table in Long Beach honored her classic “Jolene” with an evening of musical storytelling. As for rumors, Dolly herself addressed health speculation last month, assuring fans in a personal video that she's fine, taking some time off to care for her husband and focus on work.Cultural columnists are almost unanimous: at 79, Dolly Parton remains as vital and generative as ever, weaving new threads for future generations and still finding ways to say, “I ain't got time to get old.”Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Flat Beveridge strikes again. You know the drill. We've been stuck in forgot how to grow and its no-hire/no-fire labor market the past few years. That began to change last year, especially last summer when no-hiring somehow got to be even less hiring. Then last year and this year, no-firing became some firing, in other words, shifting to the flat part of the Beveridge curve. But what we've been getting more recently looks to be an escalation in firing. Verizon just announced it may be cutting 15% of its 100,000 strong workforce.

It was the Great Depression. Early 1930s. United States. More than a thousand mortgages a day were being foreclosed on. Hundreds of thousands of families were losing their homes each year. Times were hard for everyone. Especially hard for farmers. But neighbors found a way to push back and help their friends in a very creative way. They called it a penny auction.BIG NEWS!

What if the real danger isn't change, but staying stuck where you are?We often mistake familiarity for safety, creating inner resistance and a fear of the unknown whenever we face something new. This episode explores that subtle fear — the emotional “red light” that appears as change approaches, whether we're starting something, letting go, or sitting with uncertainty. We look at how fear softens when we stop forcing and instead align with life's natural flow. You'll learn why the unknown feels threatening to the mind and how presence helps us move through it with greater ease. Bringing in Inner Child wisdom, we uncover early conditioning that taught us to avoid the unknown. By meeting those younger parts of ourselves with compassion, we can create an inner safety that empowers us to step forward with trust and confidence.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).Discover our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other related teachings on our YouTube channel that will help you:INNER CHILD PLAYLIST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qqGOLDEN THREAD PROCESS PLAYLIST https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIAsS_wgdRN7QGBKIk54sbyDJoin our free Wu Wei Wisdom Community Facebook support group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wuweiwisdomcommunity If you love our work, you can now make a small donation to help fund the continued production of our weekly teachings by buying us a 'virtual coffee'! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wuweiwisdom Book an online Golden Thread Process & Inner Child Consultation with David: https://www.wuweiwisdom.com/therapies-for-body-mind/ Follow us on Instagram: @wuweiwisdomSign up to receive a relaxing guided meditation gift, plus our weekly newsletter + offers via email: https://www.wuweiwisdom.com/signup Music by Earth Tree HealingDisclaimer: This podcast and any associated teaching and comments shared are not a substitute for professional therapy, mental health care, crisis support, medical advice, doctor diagnosis, or professional healthcare treatment.

Recently, Zohran Mamdani won a historic victory in New York City's mayoral election. However he also had a rap career in the not too distant past. So today, Ali and Asif review 5 of Mamdani's songs, done under the pseudonyms Young Cardamom and Mr. Cardamom (5:21). They discuss and grade the following songs: Wabula Naawe, PSV, Kanda (Chap Chap), #1 Spice and Nani. Then since Mamdani's mother (acclaimed film director Mira Nair) is a big proponent of yoga, in the second half Ali asks Asif about medical uses of yoga (24:10). They start off (after a brief digression on cultural appropriation) by talking about the different types of yoga examined in medical studies (Hatha, Iyengar, and Viniyoga). He then discusses their use in back pain, mental health, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and hypertension.The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

Jim van Os is hoogleraar psychiatrie. Hij is gespecialiseerd in de behandeling van mensen die last hebben van psychotrauma, psychosegevoeligheid en bipolaire stemmingsgevoeligheid. In 2014 publiceerde hij ‘De DSM-5 Voorbij'. DSM-5 is het internationale standaardwerk voor het classificeren van psychische stoornissen. Het boek stelt de bijdrage van DSM-5 aan het kapitalistische ‘spel' tussen farmaceuten, psychiaters, verzekeraars en politici ter discussie. Ook publiceerde hij ‘Stress, the Brain and Depression' en ‘Kopzorgen. Trauma begrijpen'. Nu komt hij met ‘Kopzorgen. Psychedelica begrijpen in 33 vragen'. Het boek beantwoordt onder andere de vragen ‘Hoe voelt het om psychedelica te nemen? Wat weten we over hun werking en risico's? Hoe kunnen we ze verantwoord inzetten binnen de GGZ?' Femke van der Laan gaat met Jim van Os in gesprek.
As we go through our daily life we have things happen to us and it can be hard to remember that the things that happen to us do not have to define us. What matters most is not what happens to us but how we respond to what happens to us. This meditation aims to help the meditator return to balance.
Onesiphorus is only mentioned a couple of times in Paul's second letter to Timothy but he made a huge impact on Paul. Why? Because, when Paul was imprisoned a second time in Rome and new he was about to face death eye to eye, everybody left him, except Luke. He felt what it was like to be abandoned by his closest friends and coworkers which is why he reaches out to Timothy telling him he was eager to see him. Onesiphorus searched all over Rome until he found Paul, and after finding him in prison chained like a criminal, Onesiphorus made many trips to visit Paul. Paul ends the chapter with a blessing to this guy, “May the Lord show him special kindness on the day of Christ's return.” May we all be like Onesiphorus, visiting the destitute and forging boldness in the kingdom!
In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Jack Feldman, PhD, a Distinguished Professor of Neurobiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a leading expert in the science of breathing. We explain the mechanics of breathing and the neural circuits that generate and regulate our breathing rhythm. We also discuss how breathing patterns profoundly influence mental states, including their role in reducing anxiety and enhancing emotional resilience. Dr. Feldman also shares practical tools, such as box breathing for daily performance and magnesium L-threonate supplementation to support cognitive health and longevity.

Stigma loses its power when leaders tell the truth. In this episode, venture investor and Techstars co-founder Brad Feld shares why he went public about depression and OCD, how a 2013 crash led to a decade of deep therapy, and why aligning what you feel, say, and do is a leadership advantage. We talk about the “inappropriate anxiety spikes,” the trap of calling mental health a “superpower,” and the difference between passive and active avoidance.

The collapse and bankruptcy of another private credit supported firm has generated significant losses this week. But as I pointed out last week with the shuttered UBS sponsored hedge funds, it isn't necessarily the amount of money being burned. It's what each of these cockroaches reveals, and how they add to the growing mistrust about the entire private credit shadow banking network. That's the real danger which could threaten to unravel a whole lot more than a few troubled firms.

Send us a textWhat if one of the most devastating, life-altering experiences isn't visible from the outside but silently shatters someone's identity, relationships, and sense of control?As a Harvard-trained fertility specialist, Gabriela Rosa, has spent over 20 years working with individuals and couples whose lives were flipped upside down by the heartbreak of not being able to conceive. She's walked beside thousands through the silent trauma of repeated loss, the mental health fallout of failed attempts, the breakdown of marriages, and the overwhelming isolation that comes when your body doesn't do what it's “supposed to.”The pain is real - even though the world often dismisses it. And the recovery? It requires an entirely new way of relating to your body, your dreams, and your definition of self-worth.Gabriela comes with the collective stories of the people she's helped through their darkest, most vulnerable moments. She believes that behind every fertility challenge is a human experience of trauma, and she has powerful insight into what healing looks like when life doesn't go as planned.

Nate Pope is a neuro occupational therapist with a remarkable career spanning over 20 years. Nate's expertise is uniquely split between pediatrics, where he spent two decades as a school-based OT, and concussion recovery. Driven by seeing the challenges of post-concussion syndrome firsthand, he founded NCX Brain Recovery, a clinic dedicated to restoring hope and function. Summary Description:What if the key to healing from a brain injury isn't focusing on one thing at a time, but doing the exact opposite? In this enlightening follow-up conversation, neuro OT Nate Pope returns to dive deep into the transformative concept of multisensory integration—the practice of engaging the entire brain simultaneously to break bad neural habits and promote true healing.We explore why traditional, "siloed" therapies often fall short for those with post-concussion syndrome, strokes, and even conditions like anxiety and depression, and how Nate's clinic's intensive model is achieving remarkable recoveries. Nate explains the "just right challenge," why avoiding overstimulation can sometimes hinder recovery, and how his team carefully guides patients through the very activities that once overwhelmed them.Beyond the clinic, we discuss practical "healthy brain habits" everyone can adopt, including the profound benefits of getting outside, embracing novelty, and pursuing your passions. Nate leaves us with a powerful message of hope: your brain is far more capable of recovery than you may have been led to believe.Mentioned Resources:Nate's Clinic: NCX Brain RecoveryWebsite: https://www.ncxbrainrecovery.com/Email: nate@ncxbrainrecovery.comFree Consultations: Nate's clinic offers free consultations to help guide you on your path to recovery.Previous Episode: Check out Nate's first appearance on Episode 61 for more foundational insights:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCN4BVdyAPk&t=1sKey Concepts Discussed:Multisensory Integration (Whole-Brain Therapy)Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)Intensive Therapy Model (vs. traditional once-a-week therapy)The "Just Right Challenge"Healthy Brain Habits (novelty, passion, getting outside)Recovery for Stroke, Anxiety, Depression, and Long COVIDPodcast Host Contact Information:Bethany Lewis, The Concussion CoachWebsite: www.theconcussioncoach.comFree Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Available at www.theconcussioncoach.comCoaching: Sign up for a free consultation for Bethany's concussion coaching HERE

In this Whiskey@Work pour, Rob and Mark finally crack open Blanton's after more than 260 episodes and give it the spotlight it probably knew it deserved all along. They get into the life of Albert Bacon Blanton, the Kentucky colonel who climbed from teenage distillery worker to the guy steering Buffalo Trace through prohibition, the Depression, floods and war. The guys talk warehouse H, single barrel quirks, why Japan gets its own Blanton's, and how every one of those squat little bottles can hit your glass a bit differently. They taste a regular Blanton's single barrel next to Blanton's Gold, share what they actually like about each, and tell the story of how those tiny racehorse toppers turned into a full eight letter collection. If you are into bourbon lore, horse talk and two friends being honest about the hype while still enjoying the pour, this episode fits right in your glass. Hosted on Acast.

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
Amy and Margaret discuss two new studies on boys and their lives online—in social media and gaming—and how today's digital culture shapes boys' mental health, relationships, and ideas about their bodies and about masculinity. We discuss why gaming fills social and emotional needs for many boys, why the time spent may be of more concern than the content, and how parents can stay involved without over-policing. You'll learn practical ways to become an “ask-able” parent, set boundaries, and how to know whether their time spent online is more harmful than helpful.

Fast food chain Wendy's said it's closing hundreds more US locations than previously announced because customers can't afford to eat there. It fits with what McDonalds US President said last week about how the entire industry is fighting for contracting traffic. It sounds practically Chinese talking about oversupply of cheap hamburgers and chicken nuggets. But as we know only too well from China's economy, it isn't too much production it is the lack of demand.
