Falling in love can be easy. Staying connected when conflict and stress show up is where the real work begins. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with relationship repair expert Baya Voce to explore why healthy relationships aren't defined by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to repair and reconnect—and why repair depends as much on nervous system regulation as communication. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Here's what we unpack: • Why conflict isn't the real problem in relationships—and what actually keeps couples connected • What happens in the body during arguments, and why nervous system regulation matters more than the “right” words • How past relationship wounds and attachment patterns shape the way we react during conflict • Practical ways couples can repair after conflict and reconnect more quickly When couples learn how to repair after conflict, even difficult moments can become opportunities for deeper connection and growth.

Hi! Carmel Valley schools are operating on a half-day schedule all week, and we're in the middle of an extreme heat wave, so it feels like a mini spring break before real spring break is upon us in April. I know a lot of your kids have spring break this month (my friend Mary Pell is visiting from North Carolina right now for her daughter's spring break!), so today we're sharing a few spring break-related things, should it be on your radar right now, too.Whether or not you're in a spring break time of life: spring as a season will be official on Friday! To celebrate, Saturday's new recipe includes my favorite spring vegetable, asparagus, but in the meantime, we wanted to share our team's personal favorite super-springy recipes from the archives to welcome the new season. And lest you forget: there's a whole “spring” section in the What to Cook recipe index — along with many, many more categories based on cook time, protein, and mood. If you're ever needing inspiration for dinner, let the index be your guide. Also worth noting if you're a Substack app user: we are VERY happy to report that the WTC index is pinned again under “posts” when you're on the WTC homepage within the app. The pinned posts went missing for a few weeks but they're back, baby!Caro's: sheet-pan spring salmonThis is perhaps the springiest weeknight dinner recipe I've ever written. Dilly sauce, asparagus, roasted potatoes, and salmon with lots of lemon… it's so fresh and delicious. It's also both gluten- and dairy-free as written and is delicious served either right out of the oven or at room temp, so you could cook the entire meal ahead of time, let it cool, and store it covered in the fridge. Bring it out 30-ish minutes before dinner to let it come to room temperature, then dig in! It's a total crowd pleaser. There's an even simpler version of this meal — it omits the potatoes — in WTC the book on page 40! Jillian's: crispy artichoke and chicken saladArtichokes are one of my favorite spring vegetables! This is a good-all-week salad that combines roasted marinated artichokes with chicken that you marinate in the artichoke brine, a can of white beans, kale, homemade croutons, and the most addicting, springy lemon-Parm dressing out there. I typically eat vegetarian and highly endorse the mushroom vegetarian riff that Caro suggests! Molly's: roasted asparagus farrottoI cooked this meal one day last week after the time change and it was a perfect springy experience. I sipped a glass of white wine (the same wine I used later for the recipe!) while the asparagus and farro roasted away in the oven and the evening sunlight (!!) poured through the windows. It's VERY tasty, and Caro's asparagus-roasting hack in this recipe — you cook it on an inverted pot lid! — always makes me feel like a pro. Do you have a favorite springy WTC recipe?!Whether you're traveling this season or not, these “vacation house” meal plans will get you in the springy and/or spring break spirit! Version one + version two. I'm taking my older boys on a very adventure-heavy spring break trip with Lonely Planet Journeys (formerly known as Elsewhere, the travel company that sent me on the Camino and to Patagonia!) next month. It'll be my first real trip with kids that isn't a plop vacation by the pool/beach — we are going to be making our own chocolate from native cacao! Snorkeling in cenotes! Exploring ancient ruins! We are all so excited and grateful for the opportunity.That said, my typical spring break plan is to go somewhere that I can plop in front of a body of water (pool, beach, lake, etc.) with the kids, and have easy access to a house or hotel room with all the creature comforts we may need. Other years, we hang at home and go to the pool after work and/or on local outings that we can't usually do when the kids are in school. Whatever your plans may be, here's a random collection of spring break tips and things we are loving.* I've said this before but one of my favorite vacation tricks is shipping a Thrive order to the rental house with pantry staples, kids snacks and meals (like Goodles!), and any other miscellaneous things we'll need during the trip like sunscreen, dish soap, diapers, etc. I love that when I'm filling my Thrive box I don't have to study the ingredients lists — they have a strict vetting process to ensure that everything they carry is organic and free from more than 1,000 artificial, synthetic, and GMO ingredients. It also saves me money!!! The membership's only $5 a month, they run sales all the time within their membership, and the items are already priced up to 30% off retail. Click here to get 30% off your first order and a free $60 gift of your choice when you sign up. And as a reminder, new-to-Thrive WTC Insiders get $25 off their first four orders (plus lots of other perks)! * I got this suit in black for Mexico and it's a really nice middle ground between mom suit and sexy suit. It's definitely VERY SNUG in my normal size, so size up if you're on the fence about going up or down!* At the pool this week three of my friends had this sun hat and it looked so good on everyone! I'm a ball cap person but I know I need to become a sun hat person for more coverage, ugh. * I continue to be obsessed with this glowy face sunscreen. It's honestly helping me remember to wear SPF every day because I love the way it brightens up my face when I'm not wearing makeup!* Loeffler Randall gifted me a really great travel tote bag and it got a lot of use in February. I love that it slides onto the handle of my roller bag and actually stays in place, it fits under the airplane seat nicely, and has tons of storage compartments. And it's nylon, so it transitions from airplane to poolside splashes nicely.* Speaking of roller bags, I just got a new one and I'm VERY into it. I really prefer a hard shell when I'm trying to cram WAY too much stuff into a carry-on (like for my 10-day business trip in February!), and this one has tons of great storage compartments and glides really nicely.* I just ordered these Bermuda shorts! In black. I'm very excited about them!! * From Molly: I went shopping at Vuori this past weekend in NYC and found another pair of my all-time favorite shorts, the Villa, in this new color. I wear them everywhere — exercise classes, my kids' sports practices and games, and as a coverup at the beach and pool. They have a wonderfully roomy thigh, dry quickly, and are just the comfiest. I also got this tee — I'm a shorty and the crop hits perfectly with high-waisted bottoms like the Villas. (From Caro: I've been thinking about ordering these!! We love a roomy thigh. I've been getting a lot of wear out of my fave $20 shorts but they're more athletic looking than the Villa.)* Speaking of coverups…* From Caro: I've been wearing this button-up dress to the pool (and around town) all week (and I wore it all last summer while pregnant and postpartum!).* From Molly: I shared this Quince coverup last year but can update that it held up well all summer (and we live at the beach so I wore it a ton!). It stretches out/gets weighed down a bit when it's wet, but shrinks back up once washed and dried. I love this one, too, that's similar but collared. I'm also excited for an order from this sister-owned small business to arrive soon — I'm trying to invest in more UPF-50 coverups!* From Molly: One last staple I'll be packing for beach outings this spring: my Reefs! The back strap makes them easy to walk through soft sand in (I hate it when flip flops fling sand up my legs!), and you can hose them down afterward.Every week, we dig into the What to Cook archives to see what we were cooking this time in years past — the recipes worth bringing back into your rotation. Here's this week's lineup.1. farro fattoush, 2025Here's another springy good-all-week salad that will hold up well in the fridge for days! This one packs farro, chickpeas, tons of herbs, crunchy veg, a punchy lemony dressing, and poached chicken for protein. It's fresh, herby, and satisfying in a way that makes a lunch (or dinner!) salad feel like a real meal, not a side dish.2. the ultimate easy-but-fancy spring menu, 2024Your blueprint for a special occasion spring meal that comes together with zero stress: slow-roasted lamb, lemony potatoes, a bright salad, asparagus, and Gruyère & black pepper biscuits with hot honey butter! It comes with a full plan of attack to keep things seamless, but you can also mix and match pieces for a simpler, just-as-delicious meal.3. rotisserie-ish chicken with schmaltzy frizzled cabbage, 2023A sheet-pan dinner where the chicken does double duty — roasting on top of cabbage so all that schmaltzy goodness drips down and transforms it. Add buttery sweet potatoes and you've got a cozy, low-effort, high-reward situation. From WTCer Jill: “Wow. My husband kept saying, ‘this is restaurant quality'… The cabbage is SO GOOD… And the chicken was so moist and flavorful. First time cooking a whole chicken and this recipe made it so easy.”4. roasted harissa chicken and sweet potato bowls, 2022Jammy, caramelized sweet potatoes and harissa-roasted chicken layered over a cool, creamy swoop of yogurt or labne — then finished with crunchy nuts, pops of sweet dried fruit, and a squeeze of lemon. This meal hits every note (spicy, creamy, tangy, crunchy) and is endlessly adaptable depending on what you have.5. one-skillet crispy chicken burrito bowls, 2021So many of you have this recipe on repeat — it's easy, reliable, and a total crowd-pleaser. Rice cooks in salsa until it's rich and flavorful, chicken gets golden and crispy on top, and everything finishes with melty, bubbly cheese under the broiler.We use affiliate links when sharing product recs, which means we may earn a small commission off of purchases you make through those links.

Today, we delve into the transformative journey of Anthony Freda, a multifaceted artist whose work has transcended the boundaries of commercial art to embrace a deeply spiritual calling. Anthony's remarkable story takes us through his moral crises sparked by his experiences in the advertising world, including a pivotal moment while working on the Joe Camel campaign, when he questioned the ethics of marketing cigarettes to children. His path leads to a profound reorientation towards Christian art, driven by a renewed faith and a desire to illuminate truth through his creative expressions. We explore how his understanding of art as a spiritual battle shapes his current projects, including the ambitious Jesus Park, a sculptural earth garden designed for prayer and meditation. Join us as we reflect on the intersection of faith, art, and personal transformation, and consider how each of us can contribute to a culture that values truth and beauty in a world that often seeks to obscure them.Exploring the transformative journey of Anthony Freda, a multifaceted artist and professor, we delve into his remarkable evolution from commercial illustrator to a creator of Christian art. With a background steeped in the elite circles of the art world, including accolades from prestigious publications like The New Yorker and Rolling Stone, Anthony's path took a profound turn following a harrowing personal crisis. The episode unfolds a gripping narrative as he recounts a life-altering incident involving his partner's near-death experience and the subsequent spiritual awakening that reshaped his artistic vision. In this candid conversation with host Keith Haney, Anthony reflects on how his moral dilemmas in the advertising world—specifically his involvement in campaigns like Joe Camel—prompted a deep introspection about the implications of his work. He candidly shares how these experiences compelled him to pursue truth and faith, ultimately leading him to embrace a mission of creating art that glorifies God and engages the spiritual battle he believes is at the root of societal issues. This episode not only illuminates Anthony's artistic journey but also serves as a call to action for listeners to engage in their own moral and spiritual introspections, reminding us that our creative pursuits can be a reflection of our faith and values.Mentioned in this episode:My friend Dr. Noah St. John calls this 'the invisible brake.'

It's Monday, Let's raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let's begin Exploring the Wine Glass! One day a few months ago, I was walking through a wine shop looking for something a little different. As I perused the shelves, it was the same old supermarket wine after supermarket wine. I turned to leave and as if a light was shining down to catch my attention, there was a white malbec by Bodega Trivento. My winery, Dracaena Wines, now produces a white Cabernet Franc (Blanc de Franc) so of course my curiosity peaked! I picked up the bottle, took a photo and sent it to my husband and brought it home. After enjoying it, I reached out to Trivento to ask if I could speak with the winemaker and share our love of making a white wine from a red grape. If you listen to a lot of podcasts, you know that many ask for patreon. We do not plan on doing this, but we do ask you to support the podcast by leaving a review.

"Exploring the flesh is taking all the pleasures from the flesh and absorbing it in my own. A lust for knowledge and power."- Asmodeus (formerly known as Asmobias, Asmodel, and A'Eshma-Deva), a king of demons and earthly spirits mostly known from the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit.
Our 440th episode considers what it is for each of us to dare to bring our unique form of expression to the world. How we might take the ways we've learned to belong in our lives - which may have supported us and constrained us - and give enough space around them that we can be our own voice, rather than an echo; what ways of supporting one another are called for, so we can help one another do this; the kind of openness, curiosity, sensitivity, welcome and daring it can take to encourage others to be a voice of their own; and how welcoming in this way might be a way to learn and at the same time an act of deep service to life.This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.Episode Overview00:00 Introduction and Listener Engagement02:54 Exploring the Poem 'The Artist' by Bobby Morrow06:00 The Process of Letting Go and Transformation09:04 Art as a Reflection of Truth and Identity11:46 The Role of Belonging in Personal Growth14:42 Radical Amazement and Curiosity in Relationships17:47 Creating Safe Spaces for Expression20:57 The Necessity of Community and Connection23:37 Conclusion and Reflections on the JourneyThis is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

Exploring how the early church and its leaders actively set themselves apart from cults.
Exploring the Connection Between Matthew 17 and the Book of Esther For BibleInTen.com – By DH – 14th March 2026 Welcome back to Bible in Ten. Today we come to Matthew 17, and in this series that leads us naturally to Book 17 of the Old Testament: Esther. And with an explanation of the overall pictorial contents of Matthew 17 provided in the previous episode, Matthew chapter 17 becomes much clearer and in this supplementary episode, we will see how Esther strengthens it as a supporting witness. Esther is not just a story about Jewish survival in Persia. Esther is a book about the Lord hidden from open view, but still directing all things toward redemption. The book exists not mainly to magnify the Jews, but to show the unseen faithfulness of God in preserving them for the sake of His promises and ultimately for the sake of the Redeemer, the true subject of Scripture. The Esther Bible Study available on the Superior Word develops the following pictures: Ahasuerus pictures God, the ruler over the world. Vashti pictures disobedience and loss of access to the throne. Esther pictures the Gospel, especially in her mediating role before the king. Haman pictures Law, even law bringing wrath and death. Mordecai pictures Christ: hidden at first, then honored, then exalted, then clothed with authority, then writing with full power, then sending letters of peace and truth, and finally having his greatness recorded through all the realm. That makes Esther a strong support for what Matthew 17 is picturing. 1) “After six days” — the approach to kingdom rest Matthew 17 begins, “after six days.” As was said this points toward the six-thousand-year course of man's time before the seventh-day rest, the millennial kingdom. Esther supports this by opening in a royal setting already marked by splendor, order, and throne-rule. Shushan is treated almost like a paradise-throne setting, and Ahasuerus is taken as picturing the divine throne-rule itself. So both chapters begin not with chaos, but with the king and the court already in view. 2) Christ revealed in glory before a select company On the mountain, Jesus is transfigured before Peter, James, and John. That is the hidden unveiling of the King before His glory is openly seen by all. Esther supports this pattern through hiddenness before manifestation. The whole book works by concealed identity, concealed movements, and God working in the background long before the reversal appears. The Lord is not named openly in Esther, yet He is there, hidden, moving everything toward the appointed outcome. So Matthew 17's select-company glory scene sits very comfortably beside Esther's hidden-providence structure. 3) Moses and Elijah testify that all prior revelation converges on Christ Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus, but not as equals. They are witnesses. That fits Esther's Christ structure too. The whole book drives toward one central exalted figure: not Vashti, not Haman, not even Esther by herself, but finally Mordecai in exaltation. And Mordecai is clearly picturing Christ Jesus, the one advanced to authority by the king. So just as Matthew 17 narrows the law and prophets toward Christ, Esther narrows all of its movements toward the greatness of Mordecai, a picture of the greatness of Christ. 4) “Hear Him” and “Jesus only” This is the heart of Matthew 17. The Father says, “Hear Him,” and the disciples then see “Jesus only.” That fits Esther, because Esther repeatedly moves the reader away from outward structures and toward the one through whom life and deliverance actually come. Esther is a picture of the beautiful Gospel message, but Mordecai is the Christ figure who ends up invested with the king's authority and acting with the signet. The signet granted to Mordecai pictures the authority of Christ. So if Matthew 17 says, in effect, “Hear Him”, Esther says in its own symbolic way: the decisive authority now rests with the Christ-figure who bears the king's signet. 5) Hidden glory must wait for resurrection-grounded disclosure Jesus tells them not to publicise the vision until after resurrection. Again, Esther supports this because Esther is a book of timed disclosure. Esther conceals her identity, Mordecai watches from outside, and the hidden plan only comes into the open at the appointed hour. The Lord is working behind the scenes and the book's whole structure depends on that hiddenness. So Matthew 17 and Esther both teach: that public revelation comes only when the right moment arrives. 6) Elijah / restoration and Israel's future turning Matthew 17 speaks of Elijah in two ways at once: John the Baptist has already fulfilled an Elijah-like role, but Jesus' wording also leaves a still-future restoration role in view. Esther also supports a future restoration by showing that the covenant people are threatened but not discarded. Esther is treated as a book of redemptive history in which the Jews are preserved because God's promises to them stand, and because the Messiah must come and return in connection with them. Esther strengthens the Matthew 17 reading that Israel is not finally cast off. God is not finished with Israel chiefly through Jesus' future-tense words about Elijah restoring all things, and then reinforced through the picture of Israel's healing and restored sonship later in the chapter.” Though threatened and with God's face hidden from open view, they are brought through to preservation, mourning, reversal, and future blessing 7) The afflicted boy and Israel's incurable condition The Matthew 17 explanation treats the afflicted boy as picturing Israel in its historical condition: wounded, unstable, and untreatable by human means. Esther strongly confirms that pattern. The Jews stand under a decree of destruction that has to be properly and purposefully dealt with. Haman, picturing Law, has issued a death-word, and the people are trapped unless royal intervention occurs. In Matthew 17 the boy is incurable by the disciples. IN Esther the Jews are doomed under an irreversible decree. In both: the people cannot heal or save themselves. 8) Christ alone intervenes to heal and deliver In Matthew 17, Jesus heals what the disciples could not. In Esther, the same pattern appears through the Mordecai-Christ picture and the Esther-Gospel mediation. Matthew 17 pictures Israel's future restoration, healing, and restored sonship through Christ. The book of Esther supports that pattern by showing that although the first decree of death cannot be revoked, a new decree can be issued through Mordecai's royal authority that brings life to the threatened people. The old word of death cannot simply be revoked, but another word can be issued which grants life. That second word comes through Esther and Mordecai, and the edict issued by Mordecai is explicitly treated as a picture of the New Covenant. Mordecai, picturing Christ, receives the signet, acts with royal authority, and sends out the saving word. Thus Esther is supportive of Matthew 17's portrayal of Messiah Himself being the one who intervenes. 9) The cross remains central IN Matthew 17 Jesus speaks of betrayal, death, and resurrection. A portion of the notes by CG on this from Esther chapter 10 bear repeating: Haman pictures Law, but Christ actually died. It was Christ who was nailed to the cross, and so in type and picture, Christ became our Haman, our Man under Law, if you will. It is no different at all than Christ equating Himself with the serpent on the pole in John 3:14, or Paul saying that God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us. In the death of His body, the law died with Him for all who believe. For all who don't, Law, and thus the enmity, remains. This is where the marvelous symbolism of a very misunderstood passage in the book of John is explained. It says in John 20, “Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.” Many fanciful explanations have been made up about this, but the truth is revealed in what happened to Haman, when he was taken to be executed... they covered his face. The Law was to die. Christ died in fulfillment of the law. When He arose, the face covering was removed, and carefully folded. It was an intentional act of the Lord showing that the shame of death through Law had been removed for those who trust in Him. The people of Israel, the Jews, even to this day, celebrate Purim, and yet they are celebrating the exact opposite of what they think they are celebrating. They curse Haman, stamp their feet, and howl wildly as his name is read, and yet, he simply pictures Law that they are still under. Until they come to Christ, Haman will continue to come after them to destroy, to be killed, and to be annihilated because of the ministry of death, meaning Law (2 Corinthians 3:7). Why do the Jews celebrate Purim? It is because of what pur signifies. It is a lot, a broken piece, and thus Purim, the plural of pur, signifies broken pieces. Pur means “to break,” “frustrate,” “make ineffectual,” “annul,” “bring to naught.” This is what Christ has done concerning our covenant with death according to Paul – For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 The Jews cling to the law, but it is Christ who has defeated that enemy. The law is annulled in Christ. This is the message of Purim. Life Application There is also a striking present-day echo. In 2026, Purim began on the evening of March 2nd just 2 days after Israel was again in direct conflict with Iran. Just as Haman was also not himself Persian (he was Amalekite who gained influence at the heart of the palace and used imperial power against God's people). In a similar way, The Islamic Republic of Iran's rulers are militant usurpers who seized control of the land of Persia in 1979 and have held the nation in bondage ever since. Even the recent reports and speculation about Israeli intelligence using covert medical cover—dentists, hidden tracking, to coordinate a sudden destruction on the Supreme Leader —carry an Esther-like atmosphere. Just for fun check out the link to a stop motion lego video about this by “Stop Motion Sam”! The deeper parallel is the same: the enemy appears secure, the plot seems advanced, yet unseen movements are already in motion, and when the appointed moment comes, the reversal is sudden.
Download: Identify And Regulate WorksheetHave you ever felt a whirlwind of emotions but couldn't pin down exactly what you were feeling? You're not alone. Many people, especially those on the road to recovery, struggle to identify their emotions. This episode of "The Addicted Mind" podcast dives into the crucial skill of recognizing and naming our feelings.Hosts Duane and Eric explore why pinpointing emotions is so important, especially for those battling addiction. They explain that many people used substances or behaviors to cope with overwhelming or confusing feelings. Learning to identify emotions is a key step in breaking free from destructive cycles.The hosts introduce a practical tool: asking yourself specific questions to figure out which emotion you're experiencing. They walk through examples for emotions like fear, envy, anger, shame, and guilt. By answering these targeted questions, listeners can better understand their emotional state.Duane and Eric stress that accurately identifying emotions is crucial for "checking the facts" – a method discussed in a previous episode. Once you know what you're feeling, you can examine if your emotional response fits the situation. This allows you to "adjust the volume" of your emotions – either dialing them up or down as needed.The hosts share real-life examples of how this process has helped people. In one case, a client realized they were feeling shame rather than guilt, leading to a breakthrough in their healing journey.Listeners are encouraged to practice this skill and to join a live "deep dive" session for more in-depth learning. The hosts also offer a downloadable worksheet to help listeners work through identifying different emotions on their own.Download: Identify And Regulate WorksheetKey TopicsThe importance of identifying specific emotions in recoveryUsing targeted questions to pinpoint emotionsExamples of questions for fear, envy, anger, shame, and guiltHow emotion identification connects to "checking the facts"Real-life impacts of accurately naming emotionsResources for further learning and practiceTimestamps0:00 - Introduction and importance of emotion identification2:43 - Connection to previous "Check the Facts" episode5:43 - Exploring fear as an emotion7:10 - Discussing envy and its complexities8:05 - Examining anger and its various triggers10:13 - Distinguishing between shame and guilt13:43 - Closing thoughts and resources for listenersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Key Takeaways Session overview: AI is a transformative technology where security is lagging dangerously behind. Polino's session, "A Guide to Security Roles in AI Transformation (Implementation)," will explore why it's critical for organizations to reassess current roles, controls, and systems and proactively design security strategies specifically for an AI-driven environment. Guardrails: AI systems can be easily manipulated through indirect prompts or parameter framing, making it essential to enforce extremely strict guidelines and access controls to prevent unintended exposure of sensitive data. Exploring security with leaders: Organizations must proactively define security policies and controls for AI now to prevent users from going rogue or turning to shadow IT, because inaction will only amplify risk as sensitive data inevitably leaks into unsecured public AI tools. Event takeaways: Polino notes the importance of events like this because they bridge the knowledge gap between AI leaders and everyday business users by equipping them to understand AI early and effectively transfer that knowledge across their organizations. "AI is coming, whether you want it or not. The goal here is to figure out how to use it appropriately, how to make it as safe as you possibly can, and mitigate those risks inside your organization."

The Trip That Started It All: Ghana
In this episode of The Open Bedroom Podcast, I sit down with my husband Scott as we reflect on his recent breakup with a woman we'd been dating. We get real about the importance of relationship alignment, the challenges that come up when expectations around exclusivity and autonomy don't quite match, and how easy it is to overlook red flags when there's strong chemistry. Sharing from our own experience, we talk about why honest communication matters, how being clear about what we want can make all the difference, and the importance of choosing partners whose relationship goals truly line up with ours. Whether you're exploring modern, non-traditional relationship dynamics or just curious, we hope our conversation offers some thoughtful insights and support along the way.When the Match Doesn't Match (00:05:27)Diving into why the recent relationship didn't work, starting from dating profiles to real-life misalignment.Misalignment in Relationship Goals (00:07:56)Clarifying the disconnect in what each party wanted—deep connection vs. friends with benefits—and how this was communicated.Overlooking Red Flags Due to Chemistry (00:08:49)How strong chemistry and communication led both sides to ignore fundamental misalignments.Challenges of Standing Firm in Desires (00:10:09)The difficulty of holding to one's relationship needs when someone seems to check almost every box.Intellectual vs. Political Alignment (00:10:34)Discussing how intellectual connection was strong, but political and worldview differences existed.Navigating Political Differences in Dating (00:12:18)Jen reflects on dating app experiences and how political alignment is often a barrier, but can also be a source of connection.Red Flags vs. Misalignment (00:16:33)Exploring the difference between true red flags and simple misalignment in relationship goals.Ignoring Red Flags and Its Consequences (00:18:18)Why people ignore red flags, and the pain caused by trying to force a relationship despite clear misalignments.Autonomy vs. Security in Relationships (00:20:10)Scott and Jen discuss the struggle between wanting autonomy and the desire for security and exclusivity.Believing People When They Show You Who They Are (00:23:09)Learning to accept people's stated boundaries and not trying to change them; importance of alignment.Lessons Learned and Moving Forward (00:24:10)Jen shares takeaways: only date aligned people and avoid those who put up emotional walls.Confusion When Words and Actions Differ (00:25:03)How mixed signals—saying one thing but acting another—create confusion and hope for change.Reflecting on Past Relationship Dynamics (00:27:17)Jen wonders if things would have changed if they hadn't pushed for exclusivity, drawing parallels to her own past.Choosing Each Other and Responsibility (00:29:01)Scott discusses the responsibility and effort involved when someone chooses exclusivity and prioritizes the relationship.Scott's Capacity for Multiple Relationships (00:33:06)Jen praises Scott's ability to meet the needs of multiple partners and reflects on what they seek in future partners.Tailoring Relationship Dynamics to Your Needs (00:35:30)Advice to listeners: seek partners who want the same dynamic as you, whether it's polyamory, swinging, or exclusivity.Envisioning the Future and Alignment (00:36:34)Realizing misalignment when future visions don't include each other; importance of shared goals.Honesty About Needs and Desires (00:37:43)Emphasizing the need for self-honesty and seeking partners who are open to building what you want.Podcast Closing (00:39:15)Thanking listeners, encouraging feedback, and inviting them to subscribe and share the podcast.Follow The Open Bedroom podcast:https://www.instagram.com/theopenbedroompodcast

What if understanding how we remember could influence what we choose to remember? Memory is more than just a mental archive of the past; it is a dynamic process that shapes the present and the future. Understanding how we remember-or fail to recall-can have a significant impact on how we choose to preserve and prioritize our experiences. Exploring the science of memory can help us not only understand why certain moments remain with us, but can also help us enhance our ability to remember important events. Charan Ranganath, a leading expert in cognitive neuroscience, shares how the science of memory can help us focus on what truly matters in our lives and improve our ability to retain meaningful experiences. Through his book, Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory's Power to Hold on to What Matters, he discusses how memories shape our lives and how we can harness this understanding to preserve the moments that matter most. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined by Charan Ranganath to talk about the essence of memory and its impact on our lives. This conversation will also reveal how we can optimize our memory to focus on the most important things and events, from managing our digital lives to embracing curiosity. Topics include: Charan discusses the imperfections of memory The connection between memory and emotion Charan debunks the myth of photographic memory The brain's overlap between memory and imagination How social interactions can shape memory accuracy The role of intention in strengthening memory Memory as a reconstructed experience Reframing memories for personal growth Enhancing presence and focus by eliminating distractions And other topics… Connect with Charan: Website: https://charanranganath.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charan-ranganath-1a1aa41bb Twitter: https://twitter.com/charanranganath/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thememorydoc/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Remember-Unlocking-Memorys-ebook/dp/B0C5VBNG4Y Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Write a review for The Greatness Machine using this link: https://ratethispodcast.com/spreadinggreatness.

In this episode of Anything But Average, Brittany and Christina dive into a very real conversation about health, healing, and the wake-up calls our bodies sometimes give us. Brittany shares the unexpected experience of landing in the hospital for an emergency appendectomy, walking through the symptoms, the fast-moving hospital visit, surgery, and what recovery has actually looked like in the days following. From the anxiety of not knowing what was happening to realizing how incredible the human body truly is, this experience became a powerful reminder about paying attention to the signals our bodies send. Christina also opens up about her own health journey right now, including ongoing back issues, exploring peptides, and the work required to maintain strength, mobility, and resilience. Together they unpack: • What happens when your body forces you to slow down • The importance of acting quickly when something feels off • Recovery, patience, and giving your body the time it needs • Exploring new tools and therapies that support healing • Why health awareness and self-care should never be optional This conversation is honest, reflective, and a reminder that even the strongest, most driven people still need to listen to their bodies.

Quantum entanglement? Time traveling information? What is behind the phenomenon of precognitive dreaming? Meet astrophysicist, oneironaut, and author Paul Kalas, who argues that precognition is naturally selected for because of its unmistakable evolutionary advantage. Paul Kalas explains that precognitive dreams are dreams that appear to contain information about future events. Paul introduces the concept of the “Oneironaut” (a dream traveler) and draws from his personal archive of more than 300 recorded precognitive dreams. The discussion spans personal anecdotes, neuroscience, evolutionary theory, and physics—particularly quantum mechanics and the many‑worlds interpretation. Kalas describes how some dreams feel “unmistakably precognitive” due to the sense of surprise and improbability felt within the dream and shares a childhood dream involving an unusual phrase that was later spoken verbatim, and a detailed dream sketch that matched a real astronomical discovery nine years later (the offset debris disk around the star Fomalhaut). The episode also explores the possible evolutionary value of precognition, suggesting dreams may “prime” individuals for future learning or decision‑making. Kalas proposes that information may travel backward in time—from future selves to past selves—rather than consciousness traveling forward. The conversation touches on déjà vu as a possible memory of forgotten dreams, the importance of novel environments, and practical advice for cultivating dream recall through journaling. Finally, the discussion turns to the future: how large‑scale dream recording, AI analysis, and neuroscience might one day allow collective patterns in dreams to be identified, potentially offering early insight into future events. 00:00 – Welcome & Can Dreams Really Predict the Future? Katherine Bell opens the show and introduces astronomer Paul Kalas and the topic of precognitive dreaming. 05:00 – So… What Is a Precognitive Dream?
