In the final members-only break, Pete and Tommy cover the big stuff: birthday cards that forget the birthday, handwritten letters that hit harder than expected, and two baby goats who briefly solve the problem of human interaction. Along the way, they take Thanksgiving from Oregon to East Texas, tour a town shaped by oil booms and beauty salons, and debate the hygiene implications of goat yoga.There's also immersive horror theater that actively breaks reality, a reckoning with which kinds of fear are fun versus intolerable, and an enthusiastic endorsement of Ken Burns' The American Revolution that may or may not accidentally signal middle age.  ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

If the holidays feel heavy or unexpectedly emotional, you're not alone. In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun explores the tender landscape of holiday grief, including why it often feels heavier this time of year, and how we can support ourselves with gentleness and honesty. Through two powerful folktales from Japan and the Arctic Inuit tradition, she reflects on the universal experience of loss, remembrance, and the quiet ways love continues across time and distance.This episode is for anyone moving through grief, navigating an empty chair at the table, or simply feeling the emotional weight that the holidays often stir.Key TakeawaysGrief often intensifies during the holidays. The season's pressure for joy, togetherness, and celebration can amplify absence, longing, and memories. Grief naturally rises and falls, and the holidays are one of those times when it resurfaces.Grief doesn't need to be pushed aside to enjoy the holidays; it can be gently integrated. You can create your own ritual of remembrance - big or small - to honor the person you miss. Lighting a candle, displaying a photo, cooking their favorite dish, telling a story about them, or simply whispering their name are meaningful acts of connection.It's okay to set boundaries around traditions or expectations that no longer fit.Part of navigating holiday grief is giving yourself permission to adapt or simplify rituals, skip events, or ask for support.Resources Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Elizabeth Mintun here.

The chase for status is loud. The quiet work of self-worth is louder. We sit down with midlife self-love coach Jonathan Ashley to unpack how men can build genuine confidence without the scoreboard—by caring for the “emotional six-year-old” inside, stepping into the observer's seat, and practicing non-attachment so expectations stop running the show.Jonathan shares a practical framework: self-love as the bundle of self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-discipline, activated through daily reps. We dig into the tools that create emotional scaffolding before life shakes—journaling that names real feelings, meditation and breathwork to calm the nervous system, yoga to connect body and heart, therapy to untie childhood knots, and books that offer language for growth. Along the way, we tackle comparison culture and the myth of the “four sixes,” making the case for moving competition to the court and turning friendship into a refuge for truth.You'll hear how service multiplies “emotional currency,” why vulnerability isn't venting but honest ownership, and how surrender shifts your experience from judgment to peace. With stories, book recs, and hard-won wisdom, Jonathan shows that steady inner worth can survive career swings, breakups, and the internet's highlight reels. The goal isn't perfection; it's presence. Choose one habit today—five minutes of breath, a page of journaling, a call to a friend—and make a deposit into your emotional bank account.If this conversation helps, follow and share it with someone who needs a steadier inner base.

Family caregivers are the unsung heroes holding America's healthcare system together.In this episode, Dr. Barry Jacobs, a clinical psychologist, family therapist, and author of The AARP Caregiver Answer Book, discusses the emotional, financial, and logistical realities faced by family caregivers, who often serve as the silent backbone of elder care in the U.S. Dr. Jacobs shares his deeply personal journey, from losing his father at 15 to years of caring for aging parents and in-laws, revealing how these experiences shaped his lifelong mission to support caregivers. He delves into the various roles caregivers play, from medical advocates and financial organizers to emotional anchors, and how unprepared most are for the demanding marathon of caregiving. Dr. Jacobs and host Christopher Kunney delve into the internal family conflicts that caregiving can trigger, the importance of teamwork, and the common mistake of denial when facing aging and illness. He also examines government and community support systems, new Medicaid models that compensate family caregivers, and the emergence of digital caregiving technologies that integrate human connection with data-driven support. Finally, he closes with wisdom on adaptability, self-care, and learning as the keys to surviving and thriving as a caregiver.Tune in and learn how to strengthen families, embrace technology, and prepare for the emotional journey of caregiving!ResourcesConnect with Dr. Barry Jacobs on LinkedIn here.Follow Health Management Associates on LinkedIn here and visit their website here.Buy Barry's book The Emotional Survival Guide for Caregivers here.Get The AARP Caregiver Answer Book by Barry on Amazon here, or check it out on the AARP website.Contact Barry here.Learn more about WellLink on LinkedIn and explore their website.
