What happens when a thought gets repeated so often that it stops feeling like a thought and starts feeling like a fact?In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores the illusory truth effect, processing fluency, self-schemas, and self-verification to explain why familiar ideas can feel more believable simply because we've practiced thinking them over and over.In this episode:Why repetition can make information feel more trueThe difference between familiarity and evidenceHow self-schemas shape what we notice and rememberWhy we tend to collect evidence that supports existing beliefsHow repeated thoughts can quietly become identity statementsWhy changing your thinking isn't about forced positive affirmationsHow to question old beliefs with more accuracy and curiosityA question to take with you:Is this something I know, or is this something I've practiced thinking?Sometimes behavior change begins not with immediately creating a new belief, but with realizing that an old one may never have been a fact in the first place.Research MentionedHasher, Goldstein & Toppino — early research on the illusory truth effectDechêne et al. — meta-analysis on repetition and perceived truthLisa Fazio and colleagues — repetition and prior knowledgeHazel Markus — self-schema researchWilliam Swann — self-verification theory ★ Support this podcast ★
Send us Fan MailIn S7 E 5 I am delighted to welcome Dr Andrew Tagg to continue our theme of communication and expand or thinking and doing in presenting. Andrew is an emergency physician with a special interest in paediatrics, and one of the co-founders of the website Don't Forget The Bubbles. He wears many hats with a portfolio career that spans clinical medicine, workforce wellbeing leadership, education and research and as faculty for the DFTB international conference and globally renowned paediatric education platform. Andrew spends much of his time thinking, and now writing, about the art and practice of effective communication in medicine and healthcare. In this conversation we dive deeper into his most recent creation Speak Human, a newsletter dedicated to this topic.We explore some of the frameworks, practical ideas and content of his newsletter and workshops. He challenges some of our ( my) pre-existing thinking and practice in this area and I left with truly practical and actionable ideas to work with.Some of my takeaways on Speaking Human and Building a Talk That Lands Start with the message - what are the one or two things you actually want them to take away? Distil ruthlessly. No pain by PowerPoint.Use What → So What → Now What to build and test every point. Rather than “what do I want to say?” start asking “what do I want them to hear and why should they care?”Make it concrete, not abstract - a can of cola communicates a newborn's circulating blood volume better than any number doesAudiences feel your nervous system before they hear your words - manage your own state first.The Power of the Pause - silence can one of the hardest but most powerful tools a speaker hasUse AI as a tool to augment your content and make resources more accessible to your audience. Fundamentally you are not the audience, and you're there to serve them - know what you want them to learn, feel, and take away, and make it easy for themThank you Andrew. I learned so much in this session. You can learn more from Andrew and about his work by subscribing to his Speak Human Newsletter linked below.

Episode SummaryThis is a solo Mini Mikkipedia on emotional eating, prompted by a practitioner who asked Mikki how to help a client who describes herself as a lifelong emotional eater — someone who eats when she is stressed, eats when the day has been long and she finally sits down, and has tried everything she has read about without anything sticking. Rather than going straight to coping strategies, Mikki starts by asking whether it is emotional eating at all.The answer she gives is careful. Emotional eating is measured by questionnaires like the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire and the Emotional Eating Scale, but when high scorers are put in a lab under a genuinely induced negative mood, they largely do not eat more than anyone else — and the group that reliably does eat more is restrained eaters, meaning dieters. That does not make emotional eating imaginary: it shows up consistently in clinical binge eating, and phone-based sampling in ordinary life does show boredom, stress and low mood preceding craving. Mikki's position is that someone calling themselves an emotional eater is describing something real but may have the mechanism wrong. A large share of it, she argues, is under-fuelling, chaotic eating and under-sleeping with an emotional trigger sitting on top — so the mechanical causes come first, and only what survives that audit is worth treating as an emotional problem. The second half is practical: regular eating structure, tracking the trigger rather than the food, one if-then plan, affect labelling, and letting a self-limiting urge pass. Useful if you work with clients who use this label about themselves, or you use it about yourself.Key TopicsWhy the emotional eating questionnaires may not measure what they claim — high scorers largely do not eat more than anyone else when negative mood is genuinely induced in a lab, and across a meta-analysis of 56 experimental studies in nearly 3,700 participants the group who reliably ate more were dieters, not self-identified emotional eatersWhere emotional eating does hold up: clinical binge eating, and real-life phone sampling showing boredom, stress and low mood preceding cravingRestraint as a driver — attempted restriction predicting the next loss-of-control episode better than actual restriction did, and why the attempt matters more than the achieved deficitThe mechanical audit to run first: enough food earlier in the day, protein at each meal, satiety signals like volume, speed, texture and flavour, long gaps without eating, and sleepHow sleep restriction raises ghrelin, lowers leptin and shifts brain activity away from the frontal and insular regions towards the amygdala — and why someone on six hours of sleep presents identically to an emotional eater but needs a different interventionThe two patterns worth distinguishing: clock-locked eating that goes sideways between five and ten at night regardless of the day, and situation-locked eating that tracks events insteadWhy a regular eating structure removes the physiological amplifier and makes the emotional signal visibleTracking the trigger rather than the food for two weeks, why most people find their triggers far narrower than they assumed, and why an if-then plan works better when it adds a behaviour than when it removes oneAffect labelling, and urges being self-limiting — rising, peaking and falling within about 10 to 20 minutes whether or not you act on themSelf-criticism after an episode reliably predicting more eating, and self-compassion tested as the alternativeChapters00:00 Introduction and the emotional eating label04:00 Ruling out under-fuelling and sleep06:59 Clock-locked versus situation-locked eating09:52 Building a regular eating structure11:55 Tracking the trigger and if-then plans14:09 Affect labelling and riding out the urge16:27 Self-compassion and when to refer on18:33 Recap and closeQuestionnaires discussedDutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ) — van Strien, T., Frijters, J.

In Part Two of our decoding of Mel Robbins, things take a practical turn. But before we get to preoccupied with all that, why don't you pause, take a breath, and, in the context of your body, write down ten ways to make a bad situation worse. Your focus should then be on doing the exact opposite! For example, if one of your answers is to not listen to the podcast, then start listening, right now!Next, before hitting play, let's work on building a daily manifestation practice. Write down five things you want, then sit in your body, picture yourself doing all the annoying steps, and flood yourself with the feelings of future success. This needs to happen every day.One more thing: now imagine someone who is one million per cent behind you and ask them what is the best way for you to consume the podcast. They can be alive, dead, or fictional. Greek messenger Gods are permitted. You can even imagine your mother, if you like, but better. Alternatively, why not meet your future self at the front door and ask how listening to the podcast helped them to become so wise, slim, and successful?There are other options too. You can manifest a legion of ancestors, reconfigure a difficult afternoon by getting sushi, and even transcend the limits of possibility with an elephant murder themed visualization!You might think this sounds a bit like (too much) planning, mental rehearsal, and just trying to be a bit more positive. But it's much more than that. These mental activities are actually powered by very hard science. Ignore the tiny samples, one-tailed tests, and suspicious p-values... that all sounds like negative thinking.And now you are finally prepared so choose your technique, release the brake, and visualise the download button. Your future self is waiting. They have a cool scar and some bad news about your future children.LinksThe Mel Robbins Podcast: “World Leading Psychologist: How to Manifest Anything & Create the Life You Want” with Dr Cassandra VietenCassandra Vieten: Imagine That: Transform How You Think, Feel, and Live with the Science of ImaginationInstitute of Noetic Sciences: Origins StoryHershfield, H.

Earlier this month, a new Democratic machine scored a major victory in Connecticut. First-time congressional candidate Luke Bronin won his Democratic primary by a landslide, ousting 14-term progressive incumbent Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.). Bronin's win is part of a larger, national push — funded by a secretive hedge fund manager — to elect more establishment-aligned Democrats. Who is this man pouring his millions into the fight? Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Lever reporters Katya Schwenk and Luke Goldstein to unmask the man behind the machine. They discuss Schwenk and Goldstein's recent hit article exploring how one billionaire Democratic donor is attempting to handpick corporate-friendly candidates and crush their most progressive opponents in this year's midterms.

In 1978, a woman asked to cut a line at a copy machine using asentence that contained no reason at all. 93% of people let herthrough.Here is what that costs you if you never look at it closely.Most of us respond to a stuck situation by adding. More budget, moreeffort, more willpower, one more paragraph explaining why thismatters. It sometimes works, and it always costs something. And thefrustrating part is that a change costing almost nothing was oftensitting right there, in the same room, the whole time.That is what this episode is about. Not a trick. A way of looking.A small big is a change where the effort you put in and the resultyou get out are wildly out of proportion.

"Patients have already told the market what they're willing to pay for a health outcome," CMT Editor-in-Chief Michael Tetreault said in an interview for this article. "A GLP-1 subscription and a concierge medicine membership now cost about the same, roughly $3,000 a year. The question isn't whether patients will invest in their health. It's who earns that investment." By Editorial Staff, Concierge Medicine Today, August 2026 (See full list of citations and sources and disclaimers at end of article) Please note, this is market and editorial analysis, not medical, legal, financial, or accounting advice, and it does not evaluate the clinical merits of GLP-1 medications, which is a conversation between a patient and their physician. Concierge medicine is not, and should never be marketed as, a treatment alternative to any prescription medication, including GLP-1s. That distinction matters enough that we're stating it plainly here, before we go any further, and readers should keep it in mind throughout. That said, let's unpack the topic. FULL ARTICLE: https://conciergemedicinetoday.org/2026/08/24/what-glp-1-marketing-reveals-about-concierge-medicines-opportunity/ A patient on a compounded GLP-1 and a patient enrolled in a concierge medicine practice are now spending almost exactly the same amount each year. Roughly $3,000. We put the real numbers next to each other: GLP-1 telehealth pricing, our own 2026 concierge medicine benchmark survey, direct primary care spend, urgent care, etc. The overlap doesn't stop at price. The age group spending the most on GLP-1s, 50 to 64, is also the core of the concierge medicine patient base. Patients have already decided they'll pay out of pocket for a health outcome. That part isn't up for debate anymore. What's still open is who earns that trust, and why. To be clear about what we're saying and what we're not: concierge medicine is not a substitute for any medication a patient and their physician decide is right for them. What it can be is the unhurried relationship where that conversation actually happens, something a fifteen-minute visit rarely allows. Full research, sourcing, and what this means for how practices market themselves are in the article. Disclaimer: This article is for informational and editorial purposes. It does not constitute medical, legal, financial, or accounting advice, and it takes no position on the clinical use, safety, or efficacy of GLP-1 medications or any other prescription treatment. Concierge medicine as described here, is a healthcare membership business model. It is not a treatment, and it should not be marketed or described as an alternative or substitute for any medication a patient and their physician have determined is appropriate. Physicians and practices using any messaging from this article in their own marketing are responsible for ensuring compliance with FTC truth-in-advertising standards and their state medical board's advertising rules, including avoiding any claim, direct or implied, that concierge membership treats, replaces, or competes with a specific medication or clinical intervention.

Brasil entró de lleno esta semana en la campaña para las elecciones del 4 de octubre, en las que el presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva aspira a un último y cuarto mandato. Su principal rival es el senador derechista Flávio Bolsonaro, hijo del exmandatario preso por golpismo. Aunque las encuestas otorgan una ligera ventaja a Lula, la carrera se anuncia reñida. La campaña electoral arrancó con todo en Brasil, donde la polarización vuelve a ser la gran protagonista. Aunque 13 candidatos competirán en los comicios del 4 de octubre, sólo dos aspirarían a una segunda vuelta: el presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva y el senador derechista Flávio Bolsonaro. Si bien Lula encabeza los sondeos, la distancia con el hijo del exmandatario de extrema derecha Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022), encarcelado por un intento de golpe de Estado en 2022, es mínima. Según la última encuesta de la consultora Datafolha, el actual presidente obtendría un 47% en una eventual segunda vuelta y Bolsonaro un 43%. Hacia una segunda vuelta reñida Algunos brasileños se cuestionan el sentido de un cuarto mandato del mítico líder del Partido de los Trabajadores: “Es un presidente que es histórico, pero es visto como parte del statu quo por alguna parte de la población.

Brasil entró de lleno esta semana en la campaña para las elecciones del 4 de octubre, en las que el presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva aspira a un último y cuarto mandato. Su principal rival es el senador derechista Flávio Bolsonaro, hijo del exmandatario preso por golpismo. Aunque las encuestas otorgan una ligera ventaja a Lula, la carrera se anuncia reñida. La campaña electoral arrancó con todo en Brasil, donde la polarización vuelve a ser la gran protagonista. Aunque 13 candidatos competirán en los comicios del 4 de octubre, sólo dos aspirarían a una segunda vuelta: el presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva y el senador derechista Flávio Bolsonaro. Si bien Lula encabeza los sondeos, la distancia con el hijo del exmandatario de extrema derecha Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022), encarcelado por un intento de golpe de Estado en 2022, es mínima. Según la última encuesta de la consultora Datafolha, el actual presidente obtendría un 47% en una eventual segunda vuelta y Bolsonaro un 43%. Hacia una segunda vuelta reñida Algunos brasileños se cuestionan el sentido de un cuarto mandato del mítico líder del Partido de los Trabajadores: “Es un presidente que es histórico, pero es visto como parte del statu quo por alguna parte de la población.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Negative gearing on established homes has just been abolished. The capital gains tax discount you've relied on for twenty years has been rewritten. And somewhere between the government's press conference and the Treasury modelling, a trillion dollars in debt got added to the tab for a generation that hasn't even been asked if they're willing to pay it. So here's the question I want to answer for you today. If you're a property investor, a business owner, or someone who just wants a comfortable retirement, what do the next three years actually look like for you? By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what the man leading the opposition to these changes thinks should happen instead. You'll know whether a change of government would genuinely wind back negative gearing and CGT reform, or whether that's politically unrealistic once the changes are locked in. And you'll understand where the real blame sits for the property market slowdown, because it's not as simple as the headlines make out. My guest today is the Hon Tim Wilson, the Federal Member for Goldstein and Australia's Shadow Treasurer and in this episode I'm speaking with him about what the recent tax and housing changes mean for property, business, and retirement outcomes. We unpack how government debt, rising taxes, and weaker private investment are reshaping Australia's economic outlook. Tim explains why policy uncertainty is damaging confidence for property investors, business owners, and overseas capital. We discuss how changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax, and trusts could lift rents and deter new housing supply. We also explore why a growth-focused, small-business-led economy is, in Tim's view, the best path forward. Takeaways • Government debt today becomes tomorrow's taxes, squeezing household spending and future investment choices. • Inflation erodes living standards by lifting supermarket prices while wages and productivity struggle to keep pace. • Public-sector job growth can crowd out private enterprise, weakening long-term economic resilience and innovation. • Higher taxes on property investment reduce rental supply, pushing rents upward for tenants. • Tax changes that hurt housing feasibility discourage builders, slowing new dwelling construction across the market. • First-home buyer schemes can unintentionally inflate entry-level prices by boosting demand faster than supply. • Retrospective rule changes destroy investor confidence, making long-term capital allocation far riskier. • Trust tax reforms may trigger costly restructures, wasting time and money across the economy. • Prioritising super over home ownership delays deposits, family formation, and wealth-building for younger Australians. • Small businesses drive productivity and hiring, so backing them supports broader economic growth and opportunity.

A holiday Monday is a good time to cover a classic: the action/sci-fi/horror that is Aliens. James Cameron's blockbuster was his follow-up to his action/sci-fi/horror hit The Terminator. This might have been a horrible experience for the director and his production team, but everybody involved came up with one of the greatest sequels of all time. Humans battle xenomorphs and the result was many iconic moments and lines of dialogue...and there's a sympathetic feminist at the centre. Sigourney Weaver's best-known character works so well off the likes of Biehn, Henn, Reiser, Henriksen, Paxton and Goldstein...and, of course, those slimy aliens. So get away from her you something or other and cue up that incredible escape music as this 754th edition of Have You Ever Seen talks about the awesome 40-year-old flick we call Aliens. Well, Actually: I forgot to mention the trivia question for next week's show about Brute Force (and Heaven's Gate). It's just that Burt Lancaster is a convict in Brute Force, but he's also a convict in a more-famous prison movie. Which one?

How does one of the most accomplished Supreme Court advocates in America end up in federal prison? In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo unpacks the stunning rise and fall of Thomas C. Goldstein, whose legal career reached the pinnacle of the profession before unraveling under convictions for tax evasion, mortgage fraud, and concealing millions in gambling winnings. Drawing from a detailed legal analysis, Jack explores the decade-long chain of decisions that transformed professional prestige into criminal liability, why the court rejected a gambling addiction defense, and how trust became Goldstein's most valuable asset before ultimately becoming his greatest liability. It's a cautionary story about trust, reputation, and how small compromises can end even the most extraordinary careers.

This Day in Legal History: The Immigration Act of 1882On August 3, 1882, President Chester A. Arthur signed the Immigration Act of 1882, the first comprehensive federal law regulating immigration into the United States. Before this, immigration had largely been left to the individual states; this Act marked the moment the federal government claimed the subject as its own, and it built the first federal machinery for controlling who could enter the country.The Act did two enduring things. First, it imposed a “head tax”—fifty cents on every immigrant arriving by ship—to fund the administration of immigration, and it placed enforcement under the Secretary of the Treasury, creating the country's first federal immigration bureaucracy. Second, and more consequentially for the law that followed, it created categories of people who would be excluded: convicts, the “insane,” and—in language that would echo for the next century and a half—”any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge.” That public-charge concept, born here in 1882, is the same doctrine we discussed just a couple of weeks ago when the current administration revived an expansive version of the public-charge rule.The significance of August 3, 1882 is that it is the taproot of the entire federal immigration system. Coming just months after the Chinese Exclusion Act, it established the foundational premise that the national government decides the terms of admission to the United States, and it introduced the framework—head taxes, excludable categories, federal enforcement—on which everything since has been built. It's worth sitting with the tension in the date: 1882 is also, almost exactly, the moment Emma Lazarus was composing “The New Colossus,” with its welcome to the tired and the poor. The law and the poem were born together, and the distance between them—between the statute's exclusions and the sonnet's embrace—is a distance the country has been arguing about ever since.Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has formally rescinded the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund,” clearing what had been the biggest obstacle to his confirmation. If you were with us last week, this is the resolution of that story. The fund—created by a Justice Department order back in May—would have used taxpayer money to compensate people who claimed to be victims of the prior administration's Justice Department, a group that notably included those convicted in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack. Republican Senator John Cornyn had refused to support Blanche's nomination until the fund was killed, and this week Blanche did exactly that, signing an order declaring the May directive “rescinded” with “no force or effect,” and, as part of the deal, agreeing to limit the related immunity arrangement so it applies only to the IRS and not to other agencies. The significance ties together several threads we've followed all summer. This fund grew out of the same collusive IRS settlement that a federal judge voided as a sham, and it sat at the center of concerns about the Justice Department being used to reward the president's allies. That a senator from the president's own party forced its formal repeal as the price of confirmation is advice-and-consent working as a genuine check—and it means the incoming attorney general takes office having had to publicly dismantle one of the administration's most criticized initiatives before the Senate would trust him with the job.Acting US Attorney General Blanche rescinds ‘anti-weaponization' fund before confirmation vote | ReutersNPR · NBC NewsIn a court filing, Capital One has disclosed for the first time that it closed more than 300 Trump Organization bank accounts back in 2021 after an anti-money-laundering review—the first time a bank has formally tied such concerns to its decision to cut off the president's family business. The context is a lawsuit: the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust and Eric Trump sued Capital One in Florida last year, alleging the bank “debanked” them for political reasons, having notified the Trump Organization of the closures in March 2021, just weeks after January 6. Capital One's filing reframes that story entirely. The bank says its compliance team did precisely what federal regulators expect—flagging accounts that raised anti-money-laundering red flags and acting on them. Here's the legal machinery underneath. Under the Bank Secrecy Act and related anti-money-laundering rules, banks are legally obligated to monitor their customers, file suspicious-activity reports, and, when warranted, close accounts; failing to do so can expose a bank to serious regulatory penalties. Importantly, Capital One did not accuse the Trump Organization of actual money laundering—flagging a risk and proving a crime are very different things. The significance is that this is a clean collision between two hot legal debates: the “debanking” complaint that financial institutions are dropping customers for political or ideological reasons, and the reality that banks operate under mandatory AML obligations that require them to shed risky accounts. A court will now have to decide which of those framings fits what Capital One actually did.Capital One says it closed Trump Organization's accounts after anti-money-laundering review | ReutersCNBC · NPRTom Goldstein, the prominent Supreme Court advocate and SCOTUSblog founder we've been following, has launched his appeal—asking the Fourth Circuit to overturn his twelve convictions for tax and mortgage fraud and to undo his six-year prison sentence. Recall the case: a jury found that Goldstein concealed millions from a secret high-stakes poker life, diverted his law firm's fees to cover gambling debts, and lied to mortgage lenders; he was sentenced to 72 months and ordered to pay more than $3 million in restitution. The appeal is a reminder that even a resource-intensive, headline conviction gets a second look, and Goldstein is raising some genuinely lawyerly arguments. The most interesting is venue—the constitutional requirement that a defendant be tried in the right place. His team argues that while prosecutors proved he filled out loan applications in Maryland, they never proved from where he actually transmitted the documents, leaning on a recent Fourth Circuit decision that took venue seriously. He's also challenging the admission of statements he made in media interviews and the wording of the jury instructions. Commentators describe his path as daunting, and it is—appellate courts rarely overturn convictions, and factual findings get real deference. But the significance is that these are exactly the kinds of technical, procedural issues on which serious appeals are built. Goldstein spent his career winning cases at the top of the appellate system; now he's testing whether that same system will scrutinize the government's work in convicting him.US Supreme Court lawyer Tom Goldstein appeals tax conviction | ReutersLaw360 · Bloomberg LawAnd finally, the Justice Department has moved to drop its criminal case against David Hearn, the former Olympic canoeist charged with vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool—and the reason is striking. We covered Hearn's not-guilty plea back in July, when his lawyers called the prosecution an abuse of power built on a “concocted narrative.” It turns out that characterization may have been closer to the truth than the charge. In a 20-page filing, prosecutors acknowledged that evidence received after Hearn was indicted shows the damage to the pool “was the result of flawed installation by the contractor,” compounded by “the rush to complete the project” before the America 250 celebrations around July 4. In other words: not vandalism—shoddy construction. The U.S. Attorney's office said it only learned of the flawed-installation evidence after a grand jury had already indicted him. The significance goes right to prosecutorial power and its risks. A 67-year-old man was detained for hours and charged with a felony over damage that, by the government's own admission, he didn't cause. The case collapsing is the system correcting itself—but only after Hearn spent weeks as a felony defendant. It's a real-world illustration of a point we keep returning to: the decision to charge is one of the most consequential and least reviewable powers in the legal system, and when it's exercised on a flawed factual premise, the damage to the person charged is done long before the dismissal.US Justice Department drops case against former US Olympian over Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool | ReutersPBS NewsHour · CNN This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: The First Executive DepartmentOn July 27, 1789, President George Washington signed the act establishing the Department of Foreign Affairs—the first executive department created under the brand-new Constitution, and the direct ancestor of today's State Department, which was renamed a few weeks later. It's easy to overlook, but this was a foundational moment: the First Congress was building the executive branch essentially from scratch, deciding what federal administration would actually look like in practice.The most consequential part of the debate wasn't the department's diplomatic functions—it was a question that still echoes through constitutional law today: who controls the officials who run these departments? The Constitution says the President appoints principal officers with the Senate's consent, but it is conspicuously silent on who can remove them. As Congress drafted the statute, it confronted this head-on in what historians call the “Decision of 1789.” After intense debate, Congress structured the law to reflect the view that the President alone—without needing the Senate's permission—holds the power to remove the department head. That choice embedded a powerful assumption about presidential control of the executive branch into the very first agency Congress built.The significance of July 27, 1789 reaches all the way to the present. The Decision of 1789 has been cited by the Supreme Court for a century as evidence that the Constitution vests the President with broad removal power—in cases like Myers v. United States, and more recently in the modern fights over the independence of agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the removal of officials at supposedly independent commissions. Every time we argue about whether a president can fire the head of an agency at will, we are arguing about a question the First Congress thought it had answered when it created this very first department. It's a reminder that the architecture of executive power was contested from the founding's opening days—and that those early choices still bind us.A federal appeals court has refused to let the administration implement President Trump's executive order overhauling mail-in voting, keeping the order frozen ahead of November's midterm elections. In a 2-1 decision, the Boston-based First Circuit declined to lift an injunction that Democratic-led states won on June 25, when a lower-court judge found key parts of the order unconstitutional. Here's what the March order actually did. It directed federal officials to build a national “state citizenship list” of eligible voters, and told the Justice Department to investigate officials who mail ballots to people the administration deems ineligible. The constitutional problem is structural: under the Constitution, the authority to set the “times, places and manner” of elections rests with the states and with Congress—not with the President acting alone by executive order. The states argued, and the courts have so far agreed, that the President can't unilaterally rewrite the machinery of federal elections. This fits a pattern we've tracked all month—the SAVE citizenship database fight, the Justice Department's warnings to election officials, the gutting of the Election Assistance Commission. The significance is that the judiciary is repeatedly drawing the same line: however much a president wants to reshape how Americans vote, elections in this country are decentralized by constitutional design, and that design is holding, at least for now, right when it matters most.US appeals court rules Trump cannot implement mail-in voting order | ReutersTom Goldstein—one of the most celebrated Supreme Court advocates of his generation, who argued 44 cases before the Court and co-founded SCOTUSblog—has been sentenced to six years in prison for tax evasion and mortgage fraud. We previewed the sentencing on Friday; now the number is in: 72 months, and the judge revoked his bond and took him into custody on the spot. Recall the conduct the jury found: Goldstein concealed millions in winnings and losses from his secret life as an ultra-high-stakes poker player, diverted his law firm's legal fees into personal accounts to cover gambling debts, and steered money to his creditors so it never surfaced as reportable income. The Justice Department had asked for eight years; the judge landed at six. The significance is the same point I made in my Forbes piece last week, now delivered with a prison term attached: the tax laws reach even the most sophisticated players, but only when the government invests the resources to untangle complex, deliberately obscured finances. Goldstein's case is the rare, resource-intensive prosecution that actually happens—and its severity sends a message to the sliver of high-end taxpayers who assume complexity is a shield. That a lawyer who reached the absolute summit of the profession is now headed to federal prison over how he handled his taxes is a stark bookend to a remarkable career.Star US Supreme Court lawyer Goldstein sentenced for tax crimes | ReutersAnd finally, the same Boston appeals court has rejected the administration's bid to revive its $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers. The First Circuit declined to pause a lower-court ruling from June 8 that struck down the fee, and the reasoning goes to the heart of who gets to impose costs like this. The trial court held that the fee was, in substance, an unlawful tax that Congress never authorized—and taxing is a power the Constitution gives to Congress, not the executive. To put the number in perspective: employers seeking an H-1B visa typically paid somewhere between $2,000 and $5,000 in fees before this; the administration wanted to charge a hundred thousand dollars, as part of a broader effort to discourage companies from hiring foreign workers over Americans. The three-judge panel found the administration hadn't shown it was likely to prove it stayed within its authority. The significance connects directly to the theme running through today's episode: the limits of executive power. Just as the President can't unilaterally rewrite election rules, he can't unilaterally impose what amounts to a six-figure tax on visa applications without Congress. When the executive reaches for a power the Constitution assigns elsewhere—here, the power to tax—the courts have been willing to say no. It's a reminder that even sweeping policy goals have to run through the constitutional plumbing of who is actually allowed to do what.Appeals court rejects Trump bid to halt $100,000 H-1B visa fee ruling | Reuters This is a public episode.

B”H What happens when a near-death experience becomes the beginning of a new life, a new relationship with G-d, and an extraordinary friendship? Today I'm in conversation with Nikki Goldstein, Co-Author of Conversations with My Rabbi: Timeless Teachings for a Fractured World. Nikki wrote this book with Rabbi Eli Schlanger obm who was murdered by jihadist terrorists in the horrific Bondi Beach terrorist attack. Nikki is a journalist, bestselling, award-winning author, and founder of Go2Guru. She began her career at Vogue, went on to hold senior editorial roles at ELLE, Marie Claire, and Financial Review Magazine, and has written seventeen books. But her newest book is unlike anything she has written before. At its heart, Conversations With My Rabbi explores the Seven Noahide Laws, the seven universal principles that the Torah gave to humanity, reframed through an honest and deeply personal conversation between a secular Jewish woman and a rabbi. Nikki and I talk about the miracle that brought Rabbi Eli into her life, how he helped her discover a direct relationship with G-d, and why these ancient principles are urgently relevant today. We talk about giving and how it ties to the Seven Noahide Laws. We also talk about grief, courage, Jewish identity, and what it means to live with more light, love, and purpose. You've never heard a conversation about the Seven Noahide Laws like this one. Here's the lovely Nikki Goldstein.

On this special mid-2026 edition of PopHealth Week, hosts Fred Goldstein, MS (President, Accountable Health) and Gregg Anthony Masters, MPH take an unflinching look at the state of U.S. population and public health at the halfway point of 2026. What they find is not drift, it is intentional dismantling. Three storylines define the moment: RFK Jr.'s ideological remake of HHS, a CDC operating without confirmed leadership during a record-setting measles outbreak, and an FDA commissioner pushed out after refusing to approve fruit-flavored vapes. Goldstein and Masters hold both the legitimate grievances embedded in the MAHA agenda, i.e., chronic disease, food systems, polypharmacy and the dangerous prescriptions being applied in its name: vaccine messaging ambiguity, fluoride removals, fabricated citations in federal health reports.

We chat with Matt Haugen and Jesse Goldstein from the Climate + Community Institute about a new report they co-authored laying out how the US is engaging in industrial policy for AI development in ways that are often indirect, inconsistent, and interpersonal, but ultimately are configured around supporting a specific configuration of (venture) capitalist strategy for intensive, rapid development, all while making political economic choices that prioritize anti-social infrastructure over social well-being and environmental protections. ••• AI First: How the Federal Government is Prioritizing AI Over People and Planet https://stopgreedbuildgreen.climateandcommunity.org/posts/ai-first ••• Honey, We Need To Talk About Venture Socialism https://www.butthistime.com/p/honey-we-need-to-talk-about-venture-5cb Standing Plugs: ••• Order Jathan's book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520398078/the-mechanic-and-the-luddite ••• Subscribe to Ed's substack: https://substack.com/@thetechbubble ••• Subscribe to TMK on patreon for premium episodes: https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (bsky.app/profile/jathansadowski.com) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).

This Day in Legal History: The Scottsboro CaseOn July 24, 1937, the state of Alabama dropped all charges against four of the nine young Black men known to history as the Scottsboro Boys—a small, belated measure of relief in one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in American legal history, and a case that helped reshape constitutional criminal procedure. The nine, ranging in age from approximately 13 to 20, had been arrested after riding a freight train through Alabama in 1931 and falsely accused of raping two white women. Within two weeks, in a series of rushed trials before all-white juries, eight of them had been convicted and sentenced to death; the trial of the youngest, Roy Wright, ended in a mistrial when the jury could not agree on whether to impose death or life imprisonment.The extraordinary speed and unfairness of those proceedings produced two landmark Supreme Court decisions that still shape the rights of criminal defendants. In Powell v. Alabama in 1932, the Court held that the defendants had been denied due process because they had not received the timely and meaningful assistance of counsel needed to prepare their defense. The Court's holding was formally limited to capital cases involving indigent defendants incapable of adequately defending themselves, but it became a foundational step toward the broader right to appointed counsel later recognized in Gideon v. Wainwright. Then, in Norris v. Alabama in 1935, the Court overturned Clarence Norris's conviction because Alabama had systematically excluded qualified Black citizens from its jury rolls. Building on earlier equal-protection precedents, the Court made clear that a state could not accomplish through discriminatory administration what the Constitution prohibited it from doing expressly.The Scottsboro cases dragged on for years through retrials, reconvictions despite one accuser's recantation, appeals, and slow, partial releases. On July 24, 1937, Alabama dropped all charges against Willie Roberson, Olen Montgomery, Eugene Williams, and Roy Wright. Prosecutors expressly concluded that Roberson and Montgomery were not guilty; Williams and Wright were released principally because of their youth and the six years they had already spent imprisoned. The state continued prosecuting or imprisoning the remaining defendants.The significance of the Scottsboro saga is twofold: it exposed nationally how the Jim Crow justice system operated against Black defendants, and it forced the Supreme Court to give practical constitutional force to protections—meaningful representation by counsel and freedom from racially discriminatory jury selection—that we now consider basic. It is a reminder that some of the most important rights in American law were secured through the suffering of people who were themselves never fully given justice.Thomas Goldstein, one of the most prominent Supreme Court advocates of his generation and a co-founder of the widely read SCOTUSblog, is being sentenced today after a jury convicted him of tax evasion and mortgage fraud. Goldstein argued dozens of cases before the Supreme Court and built a celebrated appellate practice—but prosecutors showed the jury a hidden second life as an ultra-high-stakes poker player, in games running into the tens of millions of dollars. The jury found him guilty on 12 of 16 counts, including tax evasion, assisting in the preparation of false returns, willfully failing to pay taxes on time, and lying to mortgage lenders. The conduct is a case study in exactly the kind of sophisticated evasion I wrote about in Forbes this week: prosecutors said Goldstein concealed millions in poker winnings and losses, diverted his law firm's legal fees into personal accounts to cover gambling debts, and directed people to pay his creditors so the money never showed up as his income. That's not a wage earner whose taxes are withheld automatically—it's precisely the complex, hard-to-trace arrangement that takes real investigative resources to unwind. The Justice Department has asked for eight years in prison. The significance is a pointed reminder that the tax laws reach even the elite of the legal profession—and that when the government does devote the resources to untangle a sophisticated scheme, the accountability can be severe. A man who spent his career at the pinnacle of the legal system now faces the system's full weight.Star US Supreme Court lawyer Goldstein to be sentenced for tax crimes | ReutersThe Justice Department has dropped its subpoenas of New York Times journalists over their reporting on the Qatari-donated Air Force One—a striking retreat that came after a federal judge tore into nearly every aspect of the government's approach. We've been following this one: the subpoenas were issued July 10, days after the Times published its stories, seeking grand jury testimony and phone records to unmask the reporters' sources. At Thursday's hearing, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian pressed the government hard. He criticized prosecutors for hastily issuing subpoenas that the DOJ's own lawyers admitted were riddled with “inadvertent errors,” and he chided them for asking another judge to gag phone companies from telling the journalists their records had been subpoenaed—days after the department had already publicly confirmed the subpoenas existed. Faced with that skepticism, the government agreed to withdraw them. A Times lawyer called it “a great day for the First Amendment and a great day for the rule of law.” The significance is worth stating precisely. This wasn't a sweeping constitutional ruling establishing a reporter's privilege—the DOJ retreated before the judge had to decide the hard First Amendment question. But it's a concrete example of judicial scrutiny working as a check: when a court forced the government to justify subpoenas aimed at the press, the case collapsed under its own sloppiness and overreach. After a month of friction between the administration and the media, the press got a clear win.US judge to weigh New York Times subpoenas over Trump plane reporting | ReutersAnd finally, the pause on Paramount Skydance's roughly $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery has been extended—a federal judge has now frozen the deal through August 17. When we covered this earlier in the week, U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín had issued a short 14-day restraining order at the request of a dozen state attorneys general; now that freeze runs deeper into August, buying the court time to weigh the states' request to block the merger outright. The states' antitrust theory has sharpened. They argue the combination would lessen competition in three specific markets: wide-release theatrical film distribution, top-grossing theatrical distribution, and basic cable licensing—harming movie theaters, cable distributors, and ultimately audiences. Remember the framework: antitrust law lets courts halt mergers that would concentrate too much market power, and a pause like this preserves the status quo so the deal can't close before a judge decides whether it's lawful. The significance is that time is itself a weapon in merger fights. Every week a deal sits frozen adds cost, uncertainty, and risk for the companies, and it gives regulators and challengers leverage. Here it's state attorneys general—not federal antitrust enforcers—driving the challenge, and they've now kept one of the largest media mergers in history on ice for the better part of a month, with the decisive rulings still to come.Paramount-Warner Bros. deal paused through August 17, judge rules | Reuters This is a public episode.

What if time travel was as easy as a train ride to another state? Jessica M. Goldstein asks just this in RETRO, a fun and thought provoking novel about an out of work actress named Ash who gets a job as a travel agent for a time travel vacation company.
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, I know better than this — so why do I keep doing it? Whether you stay up too late scrolling or you snap at people you leave, we all do things that don't help sometimes. Most of us assume we need to create a lifestyle overhaul to fix the issue. But my guest today says that's exactly why so many of us stay stuck. He says a series of tiny shifts is the key to breaking free from emotional loops. My guest is Dr. Elisha Goldstein, a clinical psychologist and the host of the Emotional Longevity podcast. His new book is Tiny Shifts. Some of the things we discuss are: What an emotional loop is — and how the four parts of it (thoughts, emotions, sensations, actions) trap you before you notice Why your most convincing thoughts are often the least accurate — and how your brain evolved to make it that way Why overhauling your life almost never works — and what "tiny shifts" do instead The 4R method and how Dr. Goldstein used it in real time when he got scammed on Facebook Why overthinking is a nervous system problem Why shame is baked into our culture and how to work with it instead of getting trapped by it The "slippery moment" when one loop turns into another and you assume nothing's working Why healing your childhood wounds doesn't require years of therapy The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for making tiny shifts starting today Related Episodes 305 — How to Make the Biggest Changes With the Smallest Steps With Author Eric Zimmer 194 — The Science of Small Wins: Why They Matter More Than Big Goals Links & Resources Tiny Shifts Connect with the Show Buy a copy of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do Connect with Amy on Instagram — @AmyMorinAuthor Sign Up for My Newsletter — https://amymorinlcsw.com/newsletter Sponsors Helix Sleep —Go to helixsleep.com/STRONGER to get 20% off sitewide AirDoctor — Head to AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code STRONGER to get UP TO $300 off today!

Albiona came into a podcast recording nervous, overprepared, and completely thrown off when the tech collapsed mid-interview. What happened next — what her guest did in that moment — stopped her in her tracks. And it's the same thing most parents are missing with their kids. In this solo episode, Albiona shares the story of what Dr. Elisha Goldstein did when everything went wrong, why it moved her so deeply, and how the same principle — helping someone feel truly seen through your own story — is one of the most underused tools in parenting. This one is personal, practical, and worth sharing. Inside, she explores: → What Dr. Goldstein did when the podcast recording fell apart — and why his response was a masterclass in empathy that Albiona couldn't stop thinking about → The difference between expressing empathy and actually helping someone feel seen — and why one lands so much deeper than the other → How storytelling from your own life — not advice, not correction — is the thing that softens a child in a hard moment and makes them actually willing to move toward a solution → Real examples: the homework battle that stopped repeating the moment Albiona shared her own childhood frustration, and what happened when her son finally felt understood → Why kids who don't feel seen act out more — and how making someone feel seen is one of the most powerful connection tools you have, in parenting and in every relationship Connect with Albiona: → Book a Free Discovery Call (1:1 Coaching) — https://www.theparentingreframe.com/coaching → Follow Albiona on Instagram — @theparentingreframe → Join Albiona's Paid Substack Community — https://albiona.substack.com → Email Albiona directly — albiona@theparentingreframe.com Loved this episode?

Today we interview Lindsey Goldstein about her book, GAP YEAR.One of her early publications was an adorable personal essay she wrote for THE NEW YORK TIMES' Modern Love column: At the cusp of 40, Lindsey decided there was only gain to try her hand at becoming a novelist. She wrote her first novel in her early 40s. GAP YEAR was her third novel and first published one.GAP YEAR takes place in Ecuador, where Lindsey has visited and has swum with the penguins and sea lions, just as Jane did in GAP YEAR. Lindsey, like Jane, also had a gap year (traditional one, though!) and stayed in a hostel. We explore other ways Lindsey pulled from her own experiences, including those as a friend, daughter, and mother to bring realism to the novel.We talk about youthful dreams and the importance of pursuing those that are meaningful to you, even if in just small steps.Lindsey tells us how other authors have inspired her passions and her writing, including:Bill Bryson's A WALK IN THE WOODSRebecca Serle's IN FIVE YEARSAshley Poston's alternate reality booksLinny and Nancy discuss the REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES series and reminisce about how much they loved chatting with author Shelby Van Pelt.Episode 71: Our review of REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURESEpisode 72: Our chat with Shelby Van Pelt, author of REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES

Ecuador Isn't Just a Destination—It's a Fresh Start. What if one trip had the power to completely change the direction of your life? For author Lindsey Goldstein, that's exactly what happened. Long before she became a published novelist, Lindsey spent a gap year living in Ecuador—a decision that shaped not only her love of travel but ultimately inspired her debut novel, Gap Year. In this episode of The Travel Brats Podcast, Lindsey joins us to share how Ecuador became her second home, why she believes it's one of the world's most underrated destinations, and how travel has the power to transform us at any stage of life. Whether you're dreaming of hiking through the Andes, snorkeling in the Galápagos Islands, wandering colorful markets, or simply looking for inspiration to take that first leap into the unknown, this conversation is a reminder that adventure doesn't have an age limit. Meet Our Guest Lindsey Goldstein is an author, traveler, and lifelong advocate for meaningful travel experiences. After taking a gap year in Ecuador as a teenager, Lindsey returned several times over the years—living in Quito, volunteering in the Galápagos Islands, conducting research, and building lifelong friendships along the way. Those experiences eventually inspired her novel Gap Year, a story about rediscovery, courage, and finding yourself through travel. During our conversation, Lindsey shared not only the inspiration behind the book but also practical advice for anyone considering Ecuador as their next destination. In This Episode Here's what you'll hear during our conversation: Why Lindsey chose Ecuador for her gap year How living abroad shaped her confidence and independence The real inspiration behind her novel Gap Year Why Ecuador deserves a spot on every travel bucket list Lindsey's favorite destinations throughout Ecuador Solo travel tips and lessons learned Ecuadorian food you shouldn't miss Safety myths about South America Why it's never too late to reinvent yourself through travel Why Ecuador Left Such a Lasting Impression Many travelers overlook Ecuador in favor of larger South American destinations, but Lindsey believes that's exactly what makes it so special. Despite its relatively small size, Ecuador offers incredible diversity. Within just a few hours, travelers can experience: The Andes Mountains Colonial cities The Amazon Rainforest Pacific beaches Indigenous markets The Galápagos Islands Very few countries pack so many unforgettable experiences into one destination. As Lindsey explains throughout the episode, Ecuador isn't just beautiful—it's incredibly accessible, welcoming, and full of opportunities for meaningful cultural connections. Lindsey's Favorite Places in Ecuador Throughout the episode, Lindsey shares several destinations that continue to inspire her years after her first visit. Quito Ecuador's capital combines colonial architecture, rich history, incredible mountain views, and vibrant local neighborhoods. Lindsey recommends spending time exploring the UNESCO-listed historic center and riding the TelefériQo for panoramic views of the city. Cuenca Often overlooked by international travelers, Cuenca quickly became one of Lindsey's favorite cities. Its walkable streets, charming cafés, beautiful churches, and relaxed atmosphere make it an ideal destination for travelers looking to slow down and experience everyday Ecuadorian life. The Galápagos Islands For Lindsey, the Galápagos remain one of the most magical places on Earth. During the episode, she shares unforgettable stories about: Snorkeling with sea lions Watching giant manta rays Camping on an active volcano Wildlife encounters found nowhere else in the world Conducting research on the islands It's clear why the Galápagos continue to capture travelers' imaginations. The Amazon Rainforest Lindsey also recounts one of the funniest stories from the interview—her mother's unforgettable reaction after discovering an unexpected frog inside their rainforest cabin. Moments like these remind us that the best travel memories often come from the experiences we never planned. One of Our Favorite Takeaways Travel isn't just about seeing new places. It's about discovering new facets of yourself. Throughout our conversation, Lindsey returns to this idea again and again. Living abroad forced her outside her comfort zone. She learned Spanish. She navigated unfamiliar cities. She built friendships across cultures. She became more independent. Those experiences ultimately shaped who she is today. It's a powerful reminder that the greatest souvenirs aren't things—they're the confidence, perspective, and resilience we bring home. Ecuadorian Foods Lindsey Recommends No trip is complete without trying the local cuisine. Some of Lindsey's favorites include: Humitas Quimbolitos Fresh choclo with local cheese Ají (Ecuador's beloved spicy sauce) Fresh tropical fruit from local markets She encourages travelers to explore neighborhood markets and family-owned restaurants to experience Ecuador's incredible culinary culture. Is Ecuador Safe? One of the most common questions travelers ask is whether Ecuador is safe. Lindsey believes many of the concerns surrounding South America are based on outdated perceptions. Like any destination, Ecuador requires common-sense precautions. Stay aware of your surroundings. Research neighborhoods. Secure your belongings. Use reputable transportation. Trust your instincts. For Lindsey, those practices allowed her to enjoy years of incredible experiences throughout the country. Why "Gap Year" Isn't Just for Teenagers Perhaps the biggest lesson from this episode is that reinvention doesn't have an age limit. Lindsey's novel centers on an adult woman whose life changes unexpectedly before she embarks on a transformative journey through Ecuador. The message resonates far beyond the pages of the book. Whether you're: Changing careers Recovering from burnout Becoming an empty nester Retiring Looking for a fresh start Travel has the unique ability to offer perspective, healing, and renewed confidence. Sometimes changing your surroundings changes everything. Favorite Quote from the Episode "Travel isn't about escaping your life. It's about returning home with a new perspective." Travel Brats Take One of the reasons we loved this conversation is because it reminds us why we started The Travel Brats in the first place. Travel isn't simply about checking countries off a list. It's about collecting stories. Meeting people. Stepping outside your comfort zone. Learning something new about the world—and about yourself. Lindsey's journey through Ecuador perfectly captures that spirit. Her experiences remind us that some destinations stay with us forever, shaping not only the memories we make but the people we become. If Ecuador wasn't already on your bucket list, we have a feeling it will be now.

Most parents know what they're supposed to do in hard moments. Stay calm. Set the boundary. Don't react. The problem isn't knowing — it's being able to access any of that when you're already in the thick of it. That's exactly what this episode is about. Albiona sits down with Dr. Elisha Goldstein — psychologist, mindfulness teacher, and author of Tiny Shifts — to talk about emotional regulation in the ordinary, unglamorous moments of parenting. Not the big overhauls. Not the lengthy routines. The small, doable pivots that actually interrupt reactivity, widen your capacity, and help you show up differently — starting today. Inside, they explore: → What emotional loops are — the should loop, the shame loop, the comparison loop — and why naming them is the first step to breaking out of them → Dr. Goldstein's four R's method: Recognize, Release, Refocus, Reinforce — and how to use it in real parenting moments, from rude teenagers to morning chaos to your own self-critical spiral → Why self-care becomes one more stressor — and how to meet yourself in the moment instead of adding more to your list → The two R's most people skip (Release and Reinforce) and why skipping them is why the method doesn't stick → How a parent's emotional health directly shapes their child's ability to regulate — and why working on yourself is the most effective parenting move you can make About Dr. Elisha Goldstein: Dr. Elisha Goldstein is a psychologist, mindfulness teacher, and author of several books including Uncovering Happiness and his newest, Tiny Shifts. He has spent more than two decades helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and emotional well-being — and his work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, mindfulness, and practical everyday life.

Why is your face aging faster than you feel? You're eating well, exercising, and taking your supplements, yet your skin is still puffy, saggy, and dull.

I'm hosting Cathy Goldstein, a licensed acupuncturist, to break down the four layers of the lymphatic system and why understanding them is the key to real detox and skin rejuvenation. Cathy explains how the fascia acts as an instantaneous, whole-body communication highway and why the face has no natural lymphatic pump. She shares how she achieved a 23% increase in collagen production in just 30 days in a third-party clinical study. We also get into why aggressive tools like fascia blasters can actually hurt you and what to do instead. Cathy describes simple daily practices and frequency-imprinted tools that support your lymphatics, restore fascia flow, and help your cells heal. "You have to take out before you can put in. So if your cells are loaded down with toxins, then there's no way they can take in or deliver nutrients." ~Cathy Goldstein In This Episode: - Cathy's healing journey - Why women feel puffy and inflamed - The four layers of the lymphatic system - How the brain lymphatics detox at night - Fascia as an energetic communication highway - Signs of lymphatic stagnation in your body - Why fascia blasting does more harm than good - Tru Energy's frequency-imprinted body stone - How lymphatics affect aging - Tru Energy's skin care products - Daily routine for lymphatic support Products & Resources Mentioned: Tru Energy Body Lotion and Stone: Enjoy a special discount for Dr. Wendy's listeners at https://truenergyskincare.com/drwendy/?AFFID=526862 Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/ Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at trytruenergy.com/wendy5 Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Cathy Goldstein: Cathy Goldstein, AP, is an Acupuncture Physician and founder of Tru Energy®, a science-based frequency wellness brand.
