She wrote This Is Your Brain on Birth Control and has also authored The Period Brain, which is due to be released this fall.

Sandeep shares his mission to educate consumers, challenge industry myths like “peace silk,” and inspire entrepreneurs to prioritize ethics, sustainability, and transparency over short-term profit.This is a powerful, must-hear story for every vegan entrepreneur who has faced significant challenges.Quote:So my message to all the entrepreneurs is that yes, we need profits to run our business, you know, for our livelihood.  But we should make sure that we take care of the ecosystem, both the environment and other living beings, as well as the fellow human beings who deserve a better life. -- M.

He sounds like your favorite coach, teacher or Scoutmaster ... understanding where you (or your dog) are, and where you want them to be. Charlie Jurney is a multi-champion dog trainer, hunter, and author. You've seen his byline in many dog magazines, and on his book Finished Dog. We'll roam the field and water, uplands and marshes while we talk about his connections to legends Richard Wolters and Delmar Smith, then explore his own unique "dog theory." We explore ways you can - and should- train during early-season hunts, get down-and-dirty with Charlie's ways of teaching the retrieve, steadiness, and range for flushing dogs. Charlie explains the clues dogs give us when they're "getting it," and makes clear that we're put on this earth to help dogs do well - it's just a matter of how we do it. "Fix It" has reminders on critical items for your hunting vest, and listeners chip in with their views on the hardest birds to hunt. And it's all brought to you by: HiVizSights.com, Mid Valley Clays and Shooting School, TrulockChokes, HiViz shooting systems, Pointer shotguns, Purina Pro Plan Sport and FindBirdHuntingSpots.com.

#172  - Stress, Self-Sabotage & the Real Reason You're Stuck—Let's Fix It. Interview with Sherry Lukey Ever feel like you've read all the self-help books, tried the green juices, whispered a few affirmations into your collagen water—and still hit the same wall? Yeah, same. That's where this episode comes in. This week, I'm joined by Sherry Lukey—globally recognized executive coach, speaker, and the kind of human who can help you stop sabotaging your own progress (even if you're high-functioning, high-achieving, and hiding your stress under 17 open browser tabs). We dive into her Tap Into Power™ Framework, the science-backed toolset that combines EFT (a.k.a. tapping) with real trauma reprocessing—no crystals or vague advice required.

Few writers have illuminated baseball's legends with the depth, rigor, and heart of renowned sports journalist and author Jane Leavy.  From Sandy Koufax to Mickey Mantle to Babe Ruth, her biographies of the game's greatest figures don't just recount their lives — they reveal the eras each helped to define. Now, with her new book Make Me Commissioner: I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It, Leavy turns her sharp eye and seasoned reporting toward the sport itself, asking what's broken, what's worth preserving, and how its lost magic might be restored. In this episode, we sit down with Leavy for a wide-ranging conversation that blends her unparalleled knowledge of baseball history with a candid assessment of its present challenges — analytics overload, youth development crises, dwindling diversity, and the struggle to balance spectacle with spontaneity. She also shares her imaginative, sometimes provocative, ideas for how the game could evolve in the years ahead. For longtime fans, casual observers, and anyone who cares about the soul of America's pastime, this episode delivers a masterclass in baseball storytelling — and a glimpse into the possible futures of the game from one of its finest chroniclers.  PLUS: Your chance to win a copy of "Make Me Commissioner"! + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  "Make Me Commissioner: I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It": https://amzn.to/4paR6iX SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

You know when you feel like you're constantly going through the motions between work, family, and endless responsibilities—but inside, everything feels flat? That's the reality of high-functioning depression.  In this episode, I'm joined by the talented psychiatrist, author, and nationally recognized expert in women's mental health, Dr. Judith Joseph, to unpack what high-functioning depression really is.  We dive into the secret signs of high-functioning depression, especially in midlife, and why it often goes unnoticed in women who seem to have it all together.  Dr. Joseph shares powerful strategies and practical tools to help you move from surviving to truly thriving.  We also discuss how to recognize when a loved one might be struggling behind the mask of success—and how to offer meaningful support.  If you feel emotionally drained despite keeping it all together on the outside, this episode will give you the clarity you need for more happiness in your life. Dr. Judith Joseph, MD MBA Dr. Judith Joseph is a psychiatrist, researcher, award-winning content creator, and author of the National Bestselling book “High Functioning, Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy”. Dr. Judith was named as a 2024 Black Health Hero by PopSugar Inc. She was also named a 2024 VeryWell Mind Top 25 Mental Health Thought Leader and a 2024 NAACP Top 6 Mental Health Champion. IN THIS EPISODE Warning signs for high-functioning depression in midlife  Understanding the science of happiness  Most common symptoms of high-functioning depression  Why many high-functioning people have trouble slowing down  The difference between happiness and joy  Strategies for navigating high-functioning depression  How to support a loved one with high-functioning depression  QUOTES “People who go through perimenopause and menopause often mask how they feel just to show up for the job and for others. So they often have this underlying high-functioning depression that is made worse [from] hormonal fluctuations.” “Gratitude practices are really helpful in staving off high-functioning depression or sustaining your joy. It's hard to be grateful when you don't know what brings you joy.” “Don't give up. You may feel hopeless, but know that there's always something you have not tried. There's always hope. That's why I like the idea of support groups, because many times you not only help others with your story, but you also learn from other people.” RESOURCES MENTIONED
