What if the person you cannot get over was never actually your person? We tend to give enormous weight to chemistry and connection, especially when we find someone we like who seems to like us back. That feeling can be powerful enough to make us overlook a harder truth: connection alone does not create a relationship. Without commitment and compatibility, chemistry can keep you emotionally invested in someone who is never actually choosing you. Matthew Hussey breaks down the four levels of a relationship, from attraction to compatibility, and explains why so many people get stuck at the stage that feels the most exciting. He also explores why unfinished relationships can become so difficult to let go of. The future you imagined can start to feel more real than the relationship itself, keeping you attached to potential instead of what is actually happening. Matthew Hussey is a relationship coach, bestselling author, speaker, and host of the Love Life podcast. His work focuses on dating, heartbreak, confidence, communication, and helping people build healthier relationships by paying attention to how someone actually shows up, rather than relying on chemistry or potential alone. What's Discussed: (00:00) Why connection and chemistry can feel incredibly important without actually creating a relationship. (01:27) The four levels of a relationship: admiration, mutual attraction, commitment, and compatibility. (03:46) Why someone choosing not to be with you cannot be "your person." (05:07) How heartbreak can come from grieving the future you imagined rather than losing an actual soulmate. (07:58) Why unfinished relationships and "what could have been" can occupy so much mental space. (09:20) How romantic fantasy can become a form of avoidance that keeps you from participating in your real life. (12:37) Why real relationships are built through commitment, difficulty, and repeatedly choosing one another. (13:47) How to intentionally move on by removing reminders, limiting updates, and stopping the person from remaining part of your everyday life.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!

In June, I sent out a Friday Thread prompt that readers had been asking for, in one shape or another, for years: How do we talk about non-romantic breakups? Why do they sting SO MUCH? Why is the vocabulary around a friend breakup so paltry? I know many people found tremendous solace just reading through other people's stories and knowing that 1) friend breakups are part of life and 2) yes, as a culture, we are very bad at acknowledging them let alone grieving them. For this month's subscriber-only bonus episode, Margaret and I decided to do a deep read of the thread — and a deep revisiting of our own friend histories — to talk about different "buckets" of friend breakups, how we process them in the moment and as we age, what facilitates them (bad communication!), and why they're sometimes necessary. Discussed therein: ghosting, sub-tweeting, sucky boyfriends, recurring dreams about long-ago friends, expectation mismatches, friendship promiscuity, the dearth of pop culture representations of (lasting, non-comedic) friend breakups, and more.

Hey hey beautiful human! Some fitness terms sound way more complicated than they actually are. Superset is one of them. It sounds like something you need a gym membership, a trainer, or a bodybuilding background to understand, but sister, it is actually so simple. A superset is just two exercises done back-to-back with little to no rest in between. That is it. Instead of doing one exercise, resting, then moving on to the next, supersets help you keep your workout moving. They save time, add intensity, keep things interesting, and make the equipment you already have work harder for you. In this bonus episode of Embrace Your Real, we are breaking down what a superset is, the different ways to use them, and why they can be such a helpful tool when you want a workout that feels effective without spending forever doing it. What's Discussed: What a superset actually means How supersets are different from regular straight sets The three ways to structure a superset in your workout Why supersets can help you get more done in less time How supersets increase intensity without always needing heavier weights Why supersets can keep your heart rate up and make workouts feel more engaging How to use supersets without letting your form fall apart The Movement With Julie app makes this simple because the workout structure is already done for you. With five brand-new workouts each week, challenging and time-efficient programming, and minimal equipment needed, you can stop guessing what to pair together and just show up.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a surprise visit to Moscow to meet with Russian intelligence officials, but without President Putin attending. The last CIA director to visit Moscow was William Burns in November 2021, three months before Russia's war against Ukraine started. With no details released by the White House, the CIA or the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, what did the intelligence counterparts speak about? FOX's John Saucier speaks with Dan Hoffman, former CIA Chief of Station in Moscow and a FOX News contributor, who says the secret CIA channel with Russian intelligence, that avoids public scrutiny, has been used to solve serious problems in the past.

What if the health of your brain decades from now is being shaped by what you are doing today? We tend to think about Alzheimer's and cognitive decline as problems that show up later in life, once memory starts slipping or confusion becomes noticeable. But many of the factors associated with brain decline can begin much earlier. Blood sugar, insulin resistance, sleep, inflammation, muscle mass, exercise, social connection, oral health, and even the medications you regularly take may all influence the environment your brain is aging in. This matters because brain health gives you more areas to act on than most people realize. You can pay attention to metabolic markers before they become major problems, build and preserve muscle, protect your sleep, stay socially connected, take care of your oral microbiome, and understand which emerging therapies actually have evidence behind them. The earlier you start thinking about your brain this way, the more opportunity you have to influence how well it functions later. Dr. David Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist, six-time New York Times bestselling author, and internationally recognized expert in brain health, nutrition, and neurodegenerative disease. His latest book, Brain Defenders, explores microglia, the brain's immune cells, and how their function may influence conditions including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. His work focuses on giving people practical ways to protect brain health through metabolism, lifestyle, and emerging neuroscience. What's Discussed: (05:51) What research suggests about slowing or even improving cognitive decline in people already diagnosed with Alzheimer's through intensive lifestyle intervention. (10:47) Why Alzheimer's should not be viewed as purely genetic and how lifestyle and metabolic health can influence risk even when genetic predispositions are present. (12:19) How loneliness and social isolation may affect brain health through stress, cortisol, oxytocin, inflammation, and changes in the brain's immune cells. (20:50) Why the biological conditions associated with cognitive decline may begin in your 40s and 50s, decades before memory problems become obvious. (30:34) How exercise supports the brain through BDNF, irisin, and other chemicals released during muscle activity, and why both cardio and strength training matter. (38:00) Why restorative sleep is an active period for memory consolidation and brain recovery, and how fragmented sleep can undermine brain health even when you spend eight hours in bed. (1:04:34) What the science currently says about NAD, NR, NMN, and IV NAD for mitochondrial function, biological aging, and cognitive health. (1:12:04) How periodontal disease, the oral microbiome, and frequent use of certain antibacterial mouthwashes may affect nitric oxide, metabolism, and long-term brain health. (1:23:05) What emerging research says about GLP-1 drugs for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and why using or microdosing them specifically for brain protection is still ahead of the evidence. (1:33:25) Why homocysteine and fasting insulin are two blood markers worth paying attention to when assessing metabolic and long-term brain health.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!

In this episode, I sit down with actor and filmmaker Gabriel Prevost-Takahashi, who recently brought Lieutenant Khettry to life in Season 2 of Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender. Gabriel and I get into the weeds on his approach to movement preparation, what music inspires him, and his deep respect for the stunt team—including his double, Alex Law—who helped make the Ba Sing Se action sequences so impactful. Beyond the choreography, we dive into our shared passion for history and representation. We discuss his upcoming project, Go For Broke, and the incredible, often-overlooked legacy of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team during WWII. I've been enjoying these conversations and hope you have too.  If you have, please rate my podcast on your platform of choice and share it with others!  If you would like to support with a donation to help keep this podcast going and support the work I do, you can become a patron of the show by visiting my website or Get more from Mimi Chan on Patreon.

Kejelcha's splits: 13:45 through 5K, 27:19 through 10K (19 seconds off world record pace), then he turns it on: 13:22 for 10K-to-15K, closes the final kilometer in 2:32.– Silesia men's 1500m — Ethan Strand wins in 3:30, 11th to first: Cole Hocker third (3:31.17, first race since Pre Classic, seven weeks off), Jakob Ingebrigtsen fourth (3:31.19, ten days after winning the European 5K), Phanuel Koech second (3:31.14). Splits: 1:50.4 last 800, 54.3 last lap, 26.4 last 200 (13.2/13.2 for Ethan).

Ran to the front from 600 to go, accelerated sharply in 13.7 for that section, closed at a level that wasn't far off Ethan.– World Athletics Seb Coe Super Invites — Budapest 1500 expands to 13: Both Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen confirmed.

If your body feels like it is always switched on, being told to “just relax” is not exactly helpful. Midlife already comes with enough stress, disrupted sleep, travel, workouts, work, family, and mental load. The bigger question is: how do you actually help your body recover when slowing down is not always realistic?In this episode of The Well Drop, I sit down with Byanka McClain, CFO of HAELO, to talk about PEMF, or Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, and why this has become one of the few wellness tools I keep reaching for at home. I know PEMF can sound a little futuristic, so we break down what it actually is, how the technology has evolved from big clinical machines into something you can use from your couch, and why I started paying much more attention to it for sleep, stress, travel, and recovery.Byanka McClain has been part of HAELO since 2019, helping take the company from early R&D into the at-home system it is today. She is also a working mother of three, so this conversation is very much about making recovery fit into real life. We get into what women should know before trying PEMF, the different ways people are using it, and why the most useful wellness routine may be the one that asks the least from you when your body already feels maxed out.What's Discussed(09:34) The decades-old recovery technology most women still have never heard of.(10:50) What is actually happening when PEMF interacts with the body, and why frequency matters.(15:43) Why Amber started noticing that travel hits differently in midlife, and what she reaches for afterward.(16:34) The one change HAELO users report noticing most often.(22:15) What constant “go mode” may be doing to your ability to truly recover.(24:35) How PEMF can be used differently depending on what your body needs that day.(33:11) Why the real results may come from what happens after you stop expecting an instant fix.If recovery has started feeling harder than it should, you are going to want to hear this one.Sign up for The Well Drop Newsletter: Check out The Well Drop approved products and brands at amberberger.me/products Find out more about Amber Berger: Website: thewelldrop.com  Instagram: @thewelldropFind out more about Byanka McClain: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/byanka-mcclain-8129a8200 Facebook: @byanka.alapisco Find out more about HAELO:Website: haelo.com/ Instagram: @haelo_socialTHE WELL DROP

Year(s) Discussed: 1945-2026 This episode explores how leadership can be shaped by fear, strategy, and the deliberate projection of strength. It traces the ideas behind the Madman Theory, showing how Cold War thinking, presidential power, and public perception collided to influence some of the most consequential decisions in modern politics. Along the way, it asks what happens when a leader tries to turn unpredictability into control. More information can be found at https://www.presidenciespodcast.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

What if all this optimizing is actually making us less happy? Sleep scores, step counts, glucose monitors, supplements, peptides, wearables, and endless wellness protocols have turned health into something we constantly track, measure, and try to perfect. But when every meal, workout, night of sleep, and social plan becomes another data point, the pursuit of better health can start creating more stress than clarity. You may look disciplined and optimized on the outside while feeling anxious, restricted, and disconnected from the life you are trying to improve. Technology has also changed the way we trust our own bodies. We wake up feeling fine, check a low sleep score, and suddenly decide we are exhausted. We skip dinners, birthday cake, travel, drinks, and time with friends because we are afraid of disrupting a routine or hurting a metric. The tools designed to support our health can begin controlling our choices, until we are protecting the routine more than we are enjoying the results. The real question is not always "How can I optimize this?" Sometimes it is "Is this actually improving my life?" Health should give you more energy, freedom, connection, and joy. It should not make you afraid of food, obsessed with numbers, or unwilling to be spontaneous. Every protocol, product, and intervention comes with a tradeoff, and more optimization does not automatically mean better physical or mental health. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I talk about when healthy habits cross the line into obsession, why sleep trackers and wellness scores may create more anxiety than clarity, how people are sacrificing dinners, birthdays, relationships, and spontaneity to protect their routines, and why looking optimized on the outside does not always mean you are healthy on the inside.   What's Discussed: (01:25) Whether constant optimization is making us less happy. (03:11) When tracking and hacking every part of life becomes an obsession. (04:41) Where healthy optimization ends and extreme wellness behavior begins. (05:48) Why checking your sleep score can create more stress than clarity. (06:46) Why looking thin or optimized does not necessarily mean you are healthy. (07:45) How the wellness industry profits by selling fear and endless solutions. (08:17) Why people are optimizing their lives without actually enjoying them. (09:22) How protecting your routine can cost you dinners, birthdays, and relationships. (09:50) Why sleep tracker data can change how tired you believe you feel. (10:33) How technology and constant tracking have weakened human connection. (11:35) Why a phone call can be more efficient than endless texts and meetings. (16:37) Why chasing money, fitness, beauty, and longevity can leave you with fewer memories.   Thank You to Our Sponsors! Magic Mind: Head over to magicmind.com/jen and use code JEN at checkout.

Are your health habits helping you live better, or are they quietly making your life more complicated? We are surrounded by nutrition rules, supplement stacks, protein targets, fasting windows, wearables, weight-loss drugs, and viral claims about foods we have been eating for decades. A banana in your smoothie is suddenly a problem. Every snack needs added protein. Everyone thinks they need electrolytes. People lose weight quickly without thinking about the muscle they may be losing with it. And in the process of trying to become healthier, many people become afraid to eat, travel, miss a workout, or enjoy their lives. This matters because better health rarely comes from obsessing over every minor detail. It comes from building muscle, eating enough whole foods, understanding your own habits, and creating a routine you can return to after an imperfect week. Strength training can improve your metabolism, mobility, confidence, and discipline. Nutrition should support your life. Data should help you make decisions. And a healthy routine should give you more freedom, not turn you into a prisoner of your own wellness protocol. Dr. Joey Munoz is a nutrition expert, coach, and the founder of Stronger Standard. He has a PhD in nutrition and focuses on evidence-based fat loss, muscle building, sustainable habits, and helping people cut through nutrition misinformation. His work combines nutrition science, strength training, behavioral psychology, and practical coaching to help people improve their health without relying on extreme diets or constantly chasing the latest trend.   What's Discussed: (02:47) Why viral nutrition claims about bananas and smoothies create unnecessary fear and confusion. (08:31) When healthy eating, perfect routines, and longevity protocols begin damaging your quality of life. (13:13) How rapid weight loss on GLP-1 medications can increase muscle loss without strength training and adequate nutrition. (22:22) Why intermittent fasting is overrated as a unique fat-loss or autophagy strategy. (28:07) The simple foundations of a healthy diet and why eliminating entire food groups is usually unnecessary. (34:08) Why protein has become overmarketed and how much you may actually need. (38:48) How to return to your routine after travel or overeating without punishment, restriction, or giving up. (50:13) Why the carnivore diet and fear of "plant toxins" ignore dose, context, and how the body adapts to stress. (53:40) Which popular supplements may be wasting your money, including greens powders, hydration products, BCAAs, and expensive forms of creatine. (01:05:09) How muscle supports blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular health, body composition, and long-term independence. (01:07:46) Why proper strength training can improve mobility when you prioritize control and range of motion over heavier weight. (01:11:16) How strength training builds discipline, confidence, consistency, and skills that transfer into every part of life.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Chris and Kyle reunite for a European Championships wrap up that includes the women's 800m race everyone came to Birmingham for, Jakob's comments on Josh Kerr, Amy Hunt's four gold medals, Andreas Almgren's 10K performance and more.Discussed in this episode:– Audrey Werro wins the women's 800m in 1:54.81 — a 44-year-old championship record: The race everyone wanted. Hodgkinson takes the front after the first bend, Werro goes wide on the back straight and takes the lead at 300m. First lap 56.45, 29.2 through 600, Werro opens the gap off the final turn, Hodgkinson closes half a meter — and that's it. It is the only two sub-1:54 performances since the 1980s. Keely takes silver in 1:55.01 — also under the old record. No one else was within three seconds. Werro's season: won all six outdoor races, PB from 1:55.91 to 1:53.80, four of the five fastest times in the world this year.– The semi controversy: Werro was clipped from behind and fell late in Thursday's semi, hit the rail, was limping afterward. Officials correctly advanced her to the final. A lot of people argued she got a free semi and that argument is wrong.– On writing off Keely: That's an overreaction. She set an indoor world record and an outdoor PB this season. She hasn't been off a major podium in 12 straight championships. – The Femke Factor: 1:55.54 for bronze ties Ellen van Langen's 34-year-old Dutch record from the 1992 Olympic final. She was the only athlete in the field to PB.– Jakob Ingebrigtsen says athletes skipping championships are “ruining” the sport: Three days after winning the European 5K in his first race in 11 months, Jakob told the BBC he was “very” disappointed Josh Kerr skipped the European Championships. His argument: championships exist so the best athletes compete, it's not really for athletes to choose where they participate, and not showing up damages the sport.+ More from European Championships including Georgia Hunter-Bell wins the European 1500m — her third major title of 2026: 4:07.78 in a slow, tactical final, gliding clear. Klaudia Kązmierska silver (4:08.80), Patricia Silva bronze (4:09.22) + Amy Hunt sweeps four golds: 100m, 200m, 4x100m, mixed 4x100m — an unprecedented haul.– 2028 US Olympic Trials: Hayward Field, June 17-22, six days: USATF confirmed Hayward Field for the sixth straight Trials. The bigger story is the format: six days, no rest days, the shortest Trials since 1964. Every Trials from 1992-2024 ran ten days. Why: SoFi Stadium is hosting both the July 14 opening ceremony and swimming, so LA28 flipped the calendar. Track runs July 15-24.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSVELOUS: VELOUS makes recovery footwear designed to help runners bounce back faster between sessions.

Dr. Elizabeth Laposata, a forensic pathologist testifying via Zoom for the defense, walked jurors through some of the most graphic evidence yet today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Laposata testified she reviewed police reports, grand jury minutes, and medical records from that night. She described knife wounds on Clancy's wrists and neck marked by numerous hesitation cuts — a pattern she said is common in suicide attempts. She also detailed a Jefferson fracture to Clancy's neck and vertebrae, an injury typically caused by a direct hit to the head in a fall or a dive into shallow water, along with spinal cord damage, broken ribs, and injury to the voice box and thyroid. That spinal injury, Laposata testified, also compromised Clancy's ability to regulate her own body temperature.On cross-examination, prosecutors raised lab violations from 20 years ago, which Laposata dismissed as minor — comparing them to something as trivial as a burnt-out light bulb. They also pressed her on a prior case where she'd testified that consciousness is lost within 5 to 10 seconds of strangulation, but that continuous pressure is required for death. On redirect, Laposata drew a distinction: manual strangulation involves varying pressure, but ligature strangulation — the method alleged here — doesn't, and she noted the exercise bands used would have applied constant force. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if changing your face has nothing to do with how you feel about yourself? Plastic surgery has become more normalized, more accessible, and more visible than ever. We watch people document facelifts, nose jobs, injectables, and cosmetic procedures in real time, which can make major medical decisions feel as casual as booking a facial. But the polished before-and-after photo rarely shows the full story.  Social media, filters, Zoom, and constantly seeing ourselves in photos and on video have changed the way we evaluate our appearance. We notice every angle, compare our real faces to edited ones, and start believing that changing one feature will finally make us feel more confident. But a procedure can alter your appearance without changing the way you see yourself. If the insecurity underneath it is never addressed, you may simply find something new to criticize. The real question is not always "What should I change?" Sometimes it is "Why do I believe changing this will make me feel better?" Cosmetic procedures are personal decisions, but they should never be treated casually. Understanding the risks, researching the doctor, asking specific questions about recovery, and being honest about your expectations matter far more than following a trend or choosing the surgeon with the biggest social media following. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I share how social media and filters are changing the way we see ourselves, why plastic surgery may not fix the insecurity underneath it, what people rarely tell you about complications and recovery, and why online popularity does not necessarily make someone the best surgeon for the job. What's Discussed: (02:15) Why plastic surgery has become more normalized, accessible, and visible than ever. (03:55) How a nose job led to breathing problems, complications, and multiple corrective procedures. (05:41) Why the polished before-and-after rarely shows the full risks of cosmetic surgery. (07:03) Why researching a surgeon's aesthetic style and medical expertise matters. (08:42) Why cosmetic procedures are far more invasive than social media makes them appear. (10:36) How confidence and the way you carry yourself can shape how attractive you feel. (12:00) Why constantly seeing ourselves on cameras, Zoom, and social media may damage self-image. (13:11) How filters and edited photos are changing what people ask surgeons to create. (14:05) Why natural-looking plastic surgery has become the newest status symbol. (17:28) Why a surgeon's social media popularity does not necessarily reflect their skill. (20:29) Why fixing one insecurity may only give you something else to criticize.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!
