What if the habit helping you cope with stress is now creating even more of it? Dr. Gary Sprouse returns to explain how recognizing that cycle can help you change it without allowing shame or harmful labels to define you.Known as “The Less Stress Doc,” Gary is a retired primary care physician, speaker, and author of Highway to Your Happy Place: A Roadmap to Less Stress. In this conversation, he introduces his concept of “stress-reducer loops,” recurring patterns that can involve alcohol, tobacco, social media, work, shopping, exercise, self-sacrifice, or almost anything used to escape stress.You will learn:How an ordinary coping behavior can become a stress-reducer loopWhy caring people are especially vulnerable to burnoutHow replacing “I have to” with “I choose to” can restore controlWhy setbacks should become learning experiences instead of sources of shameHow gratitude, connection, hope, and purpose create an accessible happy placeGary also shares plans for Loop Breakers, his hybrid educational program designed to help people understand their patterns, reduce stress, and build healthier responses.Learn more about Gary at https://thelessstressdoc.com/ or contact him at lesstressdoc@gmail.com.This episode is sponsored by Tar Heel Construction Group.

In this episode Andrea Samadi explores Phase Three of the Brain's Operating System — how movement acts as the essential input that activates the brain, sharpens attention, boosts learning, and improves social and emotional readiness. Drawing on Dr. John Ratey's insights and related neuroscience research, she explains the chain reaction from exercise to brain activation, learning, and adaptation. The episode also emphasizes the vital role of recovery in consolidating gains so movement leads to lasting performance improvements, and invites listeners to adopt movement as a daily catalyst for clearer thinking, better learning, and greater resilience. Dr. John Ratey and The Movement Loop On this episode 404, we will: Explore where Dr. John Ratey's groundbreaking research fits within the Movement Loop. Understand how movement activates the brain and prepares us to learn. Discover why attention is the gateway to learning and performance. Connect Dr. Ratey's work with Dr. Chuck Hillman, Dr. John Medina, Kristen Holmes, and Jason Whitrock to see the bigger picture. Learn how movement becomes lasting human performance by building our capacity over time. How Movement Becomes Human Performance Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and on this podcast, we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. If you've been following along through Season 16, you'll know we've been building what I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a neuroscience-based framework that explains how movement, recovery, and adaptation work together to improve our health, learning, leadership, and performance. Over the past seven years and more than 400 episodes, I've had the privilege of interviewing neuroscientists, physicians, psychologists, educators, and high performers from around the world. As I looked across those conversations, I realized they weren't isolated ideas—they were pieces of a much larger system. I've organized that system into five interconnected phases that mirror how we grow and develop throughout life. And as we work through each of these phases, we are sharpening our saw for productivity, learning and high performance, really, with the brain and body in mind. Phase 1 is Regulation and Safety, we launched on EP 384[i] with Dr. Baland Jalal on Sleep, Safety and Curiosity. This phase is where we build the foundation by understanding the nervous system, stress, emotions, and the importance of creating internal and external safety before learning or productivity can take place. Phase 2 is Neurochemistry and Motivation, where we explore how dopamine, reward, purpose, and emotional regulation influence our choices, habits, and sustained effort. Today, we're in Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition. This is where movement becomes the catalyst that prepares the brain to pay attention, learn, adapt, and ultimately perform at a higher level. In Phase 4, we'll discover how perception and social intelligence shape the way we understand ourselves, communicate, build trust, and strengthen relationships. And finally, in Phase 5, we'll bring everything together through integration and meaning—understanding how our experiences become wisdom, resilience, purpose, and lifelong growth. Each phase builds on the one before it, because meaningful human performance isn't created in a single breakthrough—it's built one system at a time. Together, they create what I believe is the brain's operating system for human performance. If we want to improve the entire big picture of our results, we can dive deeper into these 5 phases to see what areas we could sharpen a bit. I've put the individual episodes of each phase in the show notes for a deeper dive. Today's episode is one of those foundational pieces of Phase 3. Because before we can improve performance, we first need to understand how movement changes the brain. In Episode 402[ii], we introduced The Movement Loop, built around one simple idea: Movement is the input—it's what we do. Recovery enables adaptation—it's how the brain and body grow stronger. Performance is the outcome—the results we can see, feel, and measure. Every cycle expands our capacity to learn, lead, and perform. Every movement we make sends a signal to the brain and body. That signal activates the brain— increasing blood flow, neurotransmitters, and neuroplasticity—preparing us to pay attention and learn. When movement is followed by adequate recovery, the brain and body adapt. Those adaptations become the foundation for better performance—whether that's learning more effectively, thinking more clearly, leading with greater confidence, or improving our physical health. Then, in Episode 403[iii], Dr. Chuck Hillman helped us understand why movement changes the brain. We learned that every step increases blood flow, stimulates the release of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor—BDNF, often called fertilizer for the brain—and prepares the neural networks responsible for attention, learning, memory, and executive function. But understanding why movement changes the brain is only part of the story. Today's episode answers a different question: What does that actually look like in real life? How does movement change our brain? To answer that question, we're returning to one of my favorite interviews from March of 2021 with Harvard psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. John Ratey, whose groundbreaking book Spark helped change the way millions of people think about exercise and the brain. Now, you might be wondering... "Andrea, didn't we already review Dr. Ratey's work in Episodes 375[iv] and 376[v]?" We did. But today isn't simply another review. Today we're looking at Dr. Ratey's work through an entirely new lens. When we first interviewed Dr. Ratey in 2021, I knew movement was important. But after spending the past several years interviewing experts like Dr. Chuck Hillman, Dr. John Medina, Dr. Kristen Holmes, Jason Whitrock, and hundreds of others—and measuring my own health and performance data that we'll explore throughout this season's bonus episodes—I now understand exactly where Dr. Ratey's research fits inside the Movement Loop. As I looked across all of those conversations, I realized they weren't isolated ideas. They were pieces of one much larger system. Today we're in Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition—the phase where movement becomes the catalyst for attention, learning, adaptation, and ultimately, human performance. In the coming phases, we'll discover how perception shapes our relationships, and finally how everything integrates into meaning, purpose, and lifelong growth. Today's conversation with Dr. Ratey is one of the foundational building blocks of Phase 3. Why This Matters If you've listened to this podcast for a while, you've probably heard me talk about movement as one of the few true non-negotiables in my day. Before my workday begins, I've already made time to move—not because I'm training for a race or trying to burn calories, but because I know how profoundly movement changes the way my brain performs. The research is clear. Movement prepares the brain to pay attention, learn more effectively, regulate emotions, solve problems, and perform at a higher level. I've experienced these benefits firsthand. On the days I move first, I think more clearly, I'm more productive, and I'm better equipped to handle whatever challenges the day brings. And I imagine many of you listening have experienced the same thing. Once you begin noticing how movement changes your thinking, it becomes much easier to make it a consistent part of your life. Why This Season Exists That's why my hope for Season 16 isn't simply to convince you that exercise is good for you. My goal is much bigger than that. It's to demonstrate why movement is the first step in The movement loop—and to show how every movement you make begins a chain reaction that improves learning, health, leadership, and performance. With every cycle, we don't just improve today's performance. We expand our capacity for tomorrow. As we continue exploring the Movement Loop, I hope you'll begin to see movement differently—not as another item on your to-do list, but as the input that starts an entire system of growth. Because movement isn't the goal. Movement is the beginning of everything that follows. CLIP 1: Movement Primes the Brain for Learning CLIP 1: Social Connection Reflection: Where This Fits in the Movement Loop Let's review Clip 1 with Dr. Ratey. When we listen to his clip through that lens, every sentence he shares fits into a specific step of the process. Reviewing Dr. Ratey, through the lens of The Movement Loop. Step 1: Movement — The Input Everything begins with movement. Movement is the signal we send to the brain and body that says: "It's time to wake up. It's time to adapt." Without movement, nothing else in the loop begins. As Dr. Ratey says, movement is what "turns on the thinking parts of the brain." Step 2: Brain Activation — The Brain Wakes Up This is exactly what we learned from Dr. Chuck Hillman in Episode 403[vi]. Movement immediately increases blood flow to the brain. It activates neurotransmitters. It stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF, helping create the ideal environment for learning. Dr. Hillman explained what is happening biologically. Dr. Ratey in this clip explains what we experience. You suddenly feel more alert. More awake. More ready to think. These are two perspectives describing the same process. Step 3: Attention — The Gateway to Learning This is where Dr. Ratey's words become especially powerful. He says movement helps us: stay with an idea, focus longer, evaluate information, scan our memory, and even simply stay seated long enough to think through something difficult. That isn't just better concentration. That's improved attention, and attention is the gateway to learning. Without attention, very little learning takes place. Movement prepares the brain to pay attention. At this point in the interview, he was referencing the fact that I had told him that I couldn't write podcast episodes on this topic without moving my body first. In the early days of this podcast, I found the science very difficult to understand. A couple of times I did think that this topic was over my head, and almost considered giving up. Almost, but very grateful for where the learning took me that I stuck it through. Step 4: Learning — Building New Neural Connections Once attention improves, learning becomes possible. Now the brain can: process information, make connections, strengthen memories, and solve problems more effectively. This is why Dr. Ratey says movement helps us become better learners, better thinkers, better workers, and better students. Movement isn't improving muscles first. It's improving the brain's ability to learn. Step 5: Social and Emotional Readiness One part of this interview that has become even more meaningful over time is Dr. Ratey's explanation of social connection. Exercise doesn't only improve cognition. It also changes our emotional state. We're more motivated. We regulate our emotions more effectively. We become more socially connected. Dr. Ratey explains that movement increases oxytocin—the hormone associated with bonding and trust—making us more open to connecting with others. That's important because learning has always been social. Whether we're in a classroom, at work, or with our families, our ability to connect with other people influences how well we learn, communicate, and perform. Movement prepares us socially as well as cognitively. Step 6: Recovery and Adaptation — Where Lasting Change Happens Now here's the part I didn't fully appreciate back in 2021. Everything Dr. Ratey has described prepares the brain for learning. But those immediate benefits only become lasting improvements if they're followed by recovery. Recovery is when the brain consolidates learning. It's when new neural connections are strengthened. It's when adaptation occurs. This is where Kristen Holmes' work on recovery fits perfectly into the Movement Loop. We recently reviewed our 2021 interview with Kristen Holmes on EP 390[vii] “What Gets Measured Improves: Sleep, Recovery and Strain” and it was Dr. Holmes who was (not the first person to notice I could improve my recovery scores) but was stern enough with me about how important that it was, and how I was leaving a lot off the table by not getting enough sleep/recovery to match the strain I was pushing towards each day. Movement starts the process. Recovery completes it. And together (this won't happen if one is missing) they create adaptation—the biological changes that make us stronger, healthier, and more resilient over time. The Big Takeaway When I first interviewed Dr. John Ratey in 2021, I thought he was teaching us why exercise is good for the brain. Today, after years of interviewing neuroscientists, physicians, performance experts, and educators, I see something much bigger. Dr. Ratey wasn't simply describing the benefits of exercise. He was describing the beginning of a biological process. Movement is the input. Movement activates the brain. The activated brain becomes ready to focus, learn, regulate emotions, and connect with others. Learning, when supported by recovery, leads to adaptation. Adaptation creates better performance. And every time we move through that cycle, we expand our capacity to meet tomorrow's challenges. That's the Movement Loop. It's not just a framework for understanding exercise. It's a framework for understanding how the brain changes, how we grow, and how human performance is built—one movement at a time. Review and Conclusion: The Movement Loop and Dr. Ratey To review and conclude what we've learned today. Dr. Ratey's interview wasn't simply about why exercise is good for the brain. It was about how movement begins a chain reaction that changes the way we learn, think, and perform. We discovered that: Movement is the input. Every movement sends a signal to the brain and body that it's time to change. Movement activates the brain. Blood flow increases. Neurotransmitters increase. BDNF begins preparing the brain for learning. The activated brain becomes ready. Attention improves. Executive function sharpens. Emotions become easier to regulate. We're even more prepared to connect with other people. That readiness makes learning possible. New neural pathways begin to form. The brain starts building stronger and more efficient networks. But learning doesn't end when the workout ends. Recovery allows the brain to consolidate what movement started. Recovery creates adaptation. Adaptation creates better performance. And every time we complete that cycle, we expand our capacity for whatever challenge comes next. That's the Movement Loop. This is something I've learned through years of interviewing experts, but also through measuring my own health and performance. The days I move first are always the days I think more clearly. I'm more creative with what I write as well as making connections that are important to me in my day to day life. More productive- with the entire day (family and work). More patient (with my kids and family) More present and clear. Movement doesn't solve every problem. But it prepares us to solve problems better, and increases our capacity and productivity. And that's a lesson I'll keep coming back to throughout this season. Coming Next… But there's still one important question we haven't answered. If movement activates the brain... why do some people consistently improve --while others seem to work just as hard without seeing the same results? Is it genetics? Motivation? Discipline? Or is there something happening between today's effort and tomorrow's performance? Next week, in Bonus Episode 2, we'll answer that question. We'll explore what I call The Predictable Performance System and look at years of my own recovery data to understand why recovery isn't simply the opposite of training—it's the bridge between today's habits and tomorrow's performance. Because the difference between predictable and unpredictable results... isn't luck. It's recovery. It's how we are balancing how much we push with how much we are able to rest/recover. Until next time... Keep moving. Protect your recovery. Build your capacity. And continue designing your brain's operating system for lifelong learning, health, leadership, and human performance. Thanks for joining me. I'll see you next week. RESOURCES: Clip 1 Movement and the Brain Dr. Ratey https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bbB4NzsnyQ0 Clip 1 Social Connection Dr. Ratey https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bbB4NzsnyQ0 Phase 1: Regulation & Safety The Foundation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Everything begins with regulation. Before we can focus, learn, lead, or perform, the brain first asks one fundamental question: Am I safe? Throughout Phase 1, our guests showed us that regulation isn't simply about reducing stress—it's about creating the biological conditions that allow the brain to learn, adapt, and thrive. Together we explored: Baland Jalal – how sleep, curiosity, imagination, and creativity prepare the brain for learning. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/hypnagogic-genius-capture-your-best-ideas-at-the-edge-of-sleep/ Dr. Bruce Perry – why regulation, rhythm, and relationships form the foundation of every healthy nervous system.  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/safety-first-why-a-regulated-brain-is-the-key-to-learning/ Dr. Sui Wong – how lifestyle medicine and autonomic balance build lifelong brain resilience. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/your-eyes-the-brain-s-early-warning-system/ Rohan Dixit – how heart rate variability gives us real-time feedback on our ability to regulate stress. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/breathe-to-reset-how-hrv-tech-reveals-hidden-stress/ Dr. Kristen Holmes – how recovery metrics reveal our physiological readiness to perform. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/kristen-holmes-from-whoopcom-on-unlocking-a-better-you-measuring-sleep-recovery-and-strain/ Dr. Antonio Zadra – how sleep and dreaming consolidate memories, regulate emotions, and generate insight. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/when-brains-dream-how-sleep-integrates-emotion-insight-and-creativity/ Together these conversations taught us that sleep and stress regulation aren't optional—they're the operating system that allows every higher brain function to work. Phase 2: Motivation & Neurochemistry The Direction Core Question: What moves us into action? Once the brain feels safe, it becomes ready to pursue goals. In Phase 2, we explored the internal chemistry that transforms intention into action. Our experts helped us understand that sustainable motivation isn't about willpower—it's about aligning our beliefs, thoughts, attention, energy, and movement. Together we discovered: Bob Proctor — our beliefs determine the direction of our lives. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/belief-first-the-neuroscience-of-motivation/ Dr. Carolyn Leaf — our thinking literally changes our brain chemistry. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/thoughts-as-biology-how-your-mind-shapes-neurochemistry/ Dr. John Medina — attention determines what the brain encodes and remembers. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/theory-of-mind-the-missing-link-between-attention-reward-and-motivation Dr. Anna Lembke- Dopamine, Motivation and Why the Brain Repeats Behavior https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/dopamine-nation-the-pleasure%e2%80%93pain-balance-that-drives-motivation/ Dr. Friederike Fabritius — managing our energy allows high performance to become sustainable. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/fun-fear-focus-closing-the-motivation-loop/ Dr. Chuck Hillman & Paul Zientarski — movement activates the brain, preparing it to learn. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/move-to-learn-how-movement-activates-the-brain-and-fuels-motivation/ By the end of Phase 2, we introduced what became The Motivation Loop, showing how beliefs influence thoughts, thoughts influence actions, actions create results, and results reinforce future beliefs. Phase 3: Movement, Learning & Human Performance The Transformation Core Question: How does movement change the brain—and how does recovery transform that change into performance? Now we're taking the next step. Phase 3 builds on everything we've learned so far. If Phase 1 created a regulated nervous system... If Phase 2 created motivation and direction... Phase 3 explains how the brain and body actually become stronger. Together we've explored this process through conversations with: Dr. Chuck Hillman & Paul Zientarski — why movement activates the brain before learning. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-first-how-a-20%e2%80%91minute-walk-lights-up-the-brain/ Dr. John Ratey — how exercise builds a healthier, younger brain. Dr. Kristen Holmes — why recovery determines adaptation and readiness. Dr. John Medina — how attention transforms movement into lasting learning. Jason Whitrock — how metabolism and cellular energy fuel long-term performance. WHERE WE ARE GOING NEXT Phase 4 — Connection, Emotion & Social Intelligence The Human System Core Question: How do we thrive with other people? The brain didn't evolve in isolation—it evolved through relationships. In Phase 4, we'll explore emotional intelligence, empathy, communication, trust, leadership, and psychological safety to understand how our relationships shape learning, well-being, and performance. Phase 5 — Integration & Human Performance The Complete System Core Question: How do all the systems work together? In our final phase, we'll bring everything together—regulation, motivation, movement, emotion, relationships, learning, and recovery—into one integrated framework. We'll discover how these systems work together to create measurable improvements in our well-being, achievement, leadership, productivity, and results.

Seattle's flagship homelessness agency is effectively finished. The King County Regional Homelessness Authority just had 75% of its budget stripped after a financial scandal exposed gross mismanagement and a near-total absence of basic fiscal controls. King County and the City of Seattle are clawing back $160 million in contracts — not because the model evolved, but because it failed in every measurable way.This is Katie Wilson's legacy: over a billion dollars in regional homelessness spending, rising encampment counts, and now a gutted agency that leadership refuses to officially dissolve. The officials who built this disaster are calling it "realignment." Sean calls it what it is — the homeless industrial complex protecting itself while the people it was supposed to help stay on the streets.With the World Cup coming to Seattle and downtown footage telling its own story, the timing of this collapse couldn't be more embarrassing. The audit findings are damning. The numbers are damning. And the people asking "will this actually work now?" deserve a straight answer — which Sean delivers.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily Pacific Northwest politics and the stories your local press won't tell straight.#Seattle #HomelessCrisis #BigGovFailGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

The King County Regional Homelessness Authority just released its point-in-time count — after deliberately delaying it to soften the optics — and the numbers are damning. Unsheltered homelessness is up 21 percent since 2024. Inflow is still outpacing exits. And the region has poured hundreds of millions into permanent housing that isn't solving anything.The reason is simple: you can't house your way out of a drug crisis. When you build beds with no sobriety requirements, you don't fix homelessness — you fund it. Sean breaks down exactly how the KCRHA's incentive structure guarantees failure, why Seattle is a magnet while cities like Houston and Atlanta actually moved the needle, and why the agency's leadership is now trying to spin a 21 percent spike as a sign of progress.The books are cooked, the report was buried, and Katie Wilson's KCRHA has no plan that will work. Calls to disband the agency are getting louder — and after today's numbers, it's hard to argue with them.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell — Sean covers the Pacific Northwest stories the mainstream media won't touch.#Seattle #Crime #WashingtonStateGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

The King County Regional Homelessness Authority has consumed over a billion taxpayer dollars — and Seattle's homeless population is still climbing. A forensic audit found $4.26 million in overspent funds and $8 million that nobody can account for, including a gift card program with zero real controls. One billion dollars in, the agency's primary achievement is a bureaucratic machine that keeps feeding itself.When Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson and King County Executive Girmay Zahilay — hardly right-wing firebrands — publicly declare the KCRHA's own corrective plan "insufficient," the failure is complete. The agency's response to this crisis of accountability was to commission a $900,000 outside consultant. Not reform. Not firings. Another study.

You don't need a fancy gym to build stronger bones. Learn how to create a simple home osteoporosis gym with the right equipment, exercises, and strength-training strategies to support balance, posture, and fracture prevention. In this episode, I'm sharing a special interview and exercise demonstration from Joan Pagano, a renowned fitness expert and certified exercise physiologist specializing in women's health and active aging. She is also a best-selling author and has written seven books on the benefits of strength training across the decades.  Joan walks us through setting up your own home osteoporosis gym, including the equipment, exercises, and foundational movements to help strengthen the most vulnerable fracture sites: the hips, spine, and wrists. Building stronger bones doesn't require a complicated routine or an expensive gym membership. With the right exercises, proper alignment, and consistent strength training, you can improve your balance, maintain independence, and give your bones the support they need at any stage of life.   "When you do a strength training exercise for your muscles, you're also doing it for your bones." ~ Joan Pagano   In this episode: - [02:04] - Resistance training and how it helps the bones - [08:05] - At-home vs. gym-based training  - [11:02] - Essential exercises for hip, spine, and wrist strength - [17:56] - Choosing the right weights for bone health - [21:26] - Resistance bands for posture and shoulder strength - [23:04] - Strengthening the back, spine, and upper body - [27:47] - Loop bands for hip stability and balance - [32:39] - Using resistance bands for leg exercises -  [35:50] - Weighted balls and compound exercises - [39:04] - Working safely with trainers and physical therapists   Resources - Get quality supplements from Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/supplementsforless - Joan's Strength Training for Osteoporosis (Foundational Series): 4-Session On-Demand Class (Replay) - https://happyboneshappylife.com/strength-training-for-osteoporosis-4-week-class-replay - Joan's MORE Strength Training for Osteoporosis (Follow-up Series): 4-Session On-Demand Class (Replay) - https://happyboneshappylife.com/strength-training-for-osteoporosis-new-4-week-class - Joan's Step Training for Agility, Balance, and Bone Strength: On-Demand Class - https://happyboneshappylife.com/step-training-for-agility-balance-and-bone-strength-on-demand - Fabric resistance bands Joan recommends on Amazon -https://amzn.to/3tVuKtZ   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

For the last few years, most corporate conversations about AI have been about efficiency, automating tasks, and reducing headcount. That conversation is now starting to change, with more attention on what constant AI use is doing to the human capabilities organizations depend on. Judgment sits at the center of this. It develops through years of hands-on experience, often in exactly the kind of junior work AI is now taking over. With many employers also hiring fewer entry-level people, developing the leaders of the future is becoming a serious challenge. So how do organizations use AI to amplify human capability rather than erode it? My guest this week is Johan Roos, Professor in Strategy at Hult International Business School and author of the new book Human Magic: Leading with Wisdom in an Age of Algorithms. In our conversation, Johan shares why the AI conversation is changing, the human capabilities that now matter most, and the practical choices employers face in developing judgment for the future. In the interview, we discuss: The dual mood of AI anxiety and excitement Moving the AI conversation beyond efficiency Amplification versus erosion of human capability The five human capabilities that matter most Why judgment comes from experience The risks of cutting entry-level hiring Thinking in tasks, not people Building an agentic workforce without cutting jobs Early warning indicators of talent risk Bionic collaboration and what the future looks like https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/recruiting-future-podcast/id963756980?mt=2&ls=1 https://open.spotify.com/show/4u3Gl0l4pGBtIHOJZjLTrx?si=49641466567e44d6 https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjohanroos/ A full transcript will appear here shortly.

Four beluga whales are adjusting to life at the Shedd Aquarium after being moved from a defunct marine tourist attraction in Ontario, Canada, that had threatened to euthanize the sea mammals. The images of the whales have captured the hearts of many, but the move isn't without controversy. In the Loop hears the story of how the Canadian belugas came to be swimming in Chicago and why this is raising longstanding questions of what's in the best interest of whales in human care. GUESTS: Johnny Ford, vice president of communications, Shedd AquariumKaitlyn Mitchell, director of legal advocacy, Animal JusticeStefano Esposito, Chicago Sun-Times features reporterFor a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop. 

We're wrapping up the six-part summer series with the mindset pattern I see most often in the smartest women I work with: wanting to feel completely certain and in control before you take action. It sounds responsible. It even feels productive. But if you've ever spun through every "what if" scenario, you already know what this really is: a time machine that takes you out of the only moment you can actually control, which is right now. In this final bite-sized episode, I'm sharing the exact process I use to get myself out of the loop.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/229 Loving the series?

From our moods to our metabolism, hormones are running the show behind nearly every bodily function. They tell our hearts how quickly to beat, our guts how to process the food we eat, our bones to release calcium, and our muscles to grow new fibers. Yet, most of us don't fully understand how our bodies and their systems work—and more importantly, what to do when they don't. Enter renowned endocrinologist Dr. Gillian Goddard, author of the groundbreaking new book THE HORMONE LOOP: An Empowering Guide to Restoring Hormonal Harmony, from Puberty to Menopause (Harper Influence, ISBN: 9780063455047; $30.00; Hardcover; on sale: 6/2/2026). Dr. Goddard knows firsthand how urgently women need clear, accessible information about their hormonal health. Drawing from years of clinical experience, she presents a definitive and engaging guide to hormonal health at every stage of a woman's life—from puberty to reproductive years to perimenopause to menopause to post menopause. As Dr. Goddard clearly explains, at each of these stages, there are four distinct hormone loops that keep our bodies in balance: the reproductive loop, the thyroid loop, the growth hormone loop, and the adrenal loop. While these loops often operate quietly in the background, each plays a powerful role in our lifelong health. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges and changes our bodies experience throughout our lives, but hormones often hold the key. Weaving stories from her practice with the latest medical research and featuring helpful charts and illustrations, THE HORMONE LOOP breaks down the problems that commonly arise throughout our lives and offers a clear rubric for how to have better conversations with our doctors. THE HORMONE LOOP is an essential and long overdue book that equips women with the knowledge and confidence to become their own powerful, self-advocates, and also empower mothers to help their daughters navigate the often- confusing stage of puberty.

Your brain can turn one hard moment into a full-time soundtrack, and suddenly you're living inside a rerun instead of your real life. I'm Jess, and I'm sharing what's been hitting me hard lately: parenthood and childcare did not go the way I pictured, and it was dangerously easy to translate that into “I can't create, I can't grow, I can't do my work right now.” That belief sounds practical, but it quietly becomes a cage.We dig into the cycle of replaying conversations, second-guessing what you said, and carrying that heaviness into everything else. I talk about how anxiety and “good girl” conditioning can keep us from using our voice, and why that loop drains your energy and steals your joy. If you're a cycle breaker, a people pleaser, or a woman trying to lead with light while life feels sharp around the edges, this one is for you.Then we get practical with three tools to break the loop: seek joy (because spirals don't thrive there), get into nature to regulate your nervous system, and flip the script the moment the old thought shows up. I also share a release ritual you can try today (write it down, burn it safely or tear it up, bury it), plus a visualization that sticks: treating your thoughts like cassette tapes, tossing the one that keeps you stuck, and choosing a new message on purpose. If affirmations feel weird, we talk options like sticky notes, an audio recording, and simple daily repetition.If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a gentle shake, and leave a quick rating and review so more women can find the show.Join the Self(ish) Sisterhood: $33/month or $333/year.Thank you for listening to Self(ish) Confidence!

We're taught that staying calm, letting it go, and being the bigger person is the mature, high-road move. But sometimes "keeping the peace" is just another way of abandoning yourself — and every time you swallow it, smooth it over, or let it slide, you're quietly teaching people what you'll tolerate. In this episode, Robin Quinn Keehn unpacks the difference between real calm — the kind rooted in self-trust and clear boundaries — and the performance of calm that slowly erodes your self-respect. You'll learn why the calmest person in the room actually holds the most authority, how to tell when "being gracious" has tipped into self-betrayal, and what it sounds like to say the last calm word in a way that keeps you honest instead of just keeping everyone else comfortable. If you've ever walked away from a conversation calm on the outside and hollow on the inside, this one's for you. In this episode: • Why "being the bigger person" can be self-betrayal in disguise • The difference between keeping the peace and keeping your integrity • How staying silent teaches people what you'll tolerate • What the calmest, most grounded response actually sounds like

In this episode, hosts Tyler Suksawat, Will Beaman, and Scott Ferguson sit down with Washington State Senator Bob Hasegawa to explore his nearly two-decade campaign to establish a public bank in Washington State, launched in the wake of the 2008 Wall Street crash.The conversation situates Hasegawa's tireless public banking advocacy within his broader political formation. Born to a Japanese American family that suffered forced incarceration by the U.S. government during World War II, Hasegawa went on to enter the trades and join the Teamsters during a historic turning point for organized labor. As a leader in the rank-and-file movement to democratize the union and eradicate systemic corruption, Hasegawa was elected to union leadership in the Teamsters' first-ever democratic vote, only to subsequently witness a disappointing return to corruption enabled by the Clinton administration. This early crucible in rank-and-file organizing and institutional power profoundly shaped his career in the Washington State House and Senate, grounding his legislative focus on labor rights, racial justice, and public accountability.Dedicating the core of the discussion to the mechanics and necessity of public finance, Hasegawa articulates why public banks are vital tools for democratizing money, keeping public revenues working for local communities, and serving as a countercyclical buffer during market downturns. In a fascinating historical turn, Hasegawa walks through the founding of the Bank of North Dakota over a century ago, revealing how the agrarian movement behind the bank actually drew inspiration from progressive public ownership projects underway in Seattle at the time. This historical connection links the century-old legacy of the Bank of North Dakota directly back to Washington State, demonstrating that the current movement for public banking in Washington is coming full circle to its original inspiration. Finally, Hasegawa frames public banking as a truly global movement, exploring how different public financial structures around the world—such as Germany's municipal Sparkassen system—can learn from one another, cooperate, and move in international solidarity to build an equitable, democratically governed financial architecture.Check out the Substack for the Washington State Public Banking Workgroup currently chaired by Senator Hasegawa.See here for the 2026 SB 5754 Work Session and Public Testimony for Hasegawa's public banking legislation. Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureOriginal music by Josh Klinghoffer

Building on the vision of Democratic Public Finance (DPF) introduced in our debut episode, hosts Will Beaman, Tyler Suksawat, and Scott Ferguson present a radical new proposal to expand sub-federal fiscal capacity: the Loop. For decades, local governments have been disciplined by Wall Street bond markets, forced into defensive austerity, while furnishing private creditors with hundreds of millions of dollars per year. The Loop breaks this poisonous cycle by authorizing a government-owned public bank to purchase municipal bonds directly from a state, county, or city. In turn, the bank can immediately deposit interest payments back into the government's general fund, in effect, stopping the leak to Wall Street by establishing a distinctly public loop.By internalizing debt service, the Loop transforms an extractive cost into a self-replenishing public fund, capturing interest payments to fund housing, transit, care infrastructure, and the arts. The result empowers cities to evaluate public investment based on real social and ecological capacity rather than bond market discipline. Drawing on our recent writings and coalition work around the Seattle Loop, our hosts explain how such daring innovations in DPF stand to reclaim municipal finance as a powerful instrument for democratic agency and collective care.Related Reading & ResourcesReclaiming the Public Interest: Cities Should Sell Municipal Bonds to Their Own Public BanksOut of the Shadows: Public Banking for Municipal FinanceThe Seattle Loop: Reclaiming the Public InterestZooming In on the LoopHow Cities Can Evaluate Public Investment Without Bond MarketsVisit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureOriginal music by Josh Klinghoffer

Arcadis heeft, voor de tweede keer, een overnamebod ontvangen van de Canadese sectorgenoot WSP. Het bestuur heeft het bod in beraad genomen, "maar ik geef het wel een kans van slagen", zegt Corné van Zeijl van Cardano. "Het is wel zo dat Arcadis goed beschermd is tegen een overname, in het geval ze absoluut niet overgenomen willen worden." Het personeel heeft een belang van 18 procent in Arcadis [RJ]. "WSP is ongeveer keer groter dan Arcadis, maar de waarderingen ontlopen elkaar niet zoveel. Ik zou het wel jammer vinden als dit typisch Nederlandse bedrijf in buitenlandse handen valt." Volgens Martine Hafkamp van Fintessa Vermogensbeheer is het echter nog geen gelopen race. "Als je kijkt naar de beperkte koersreactie, dan zie je dat Arcadis nog ver onder het overnamebod staat." Nostalgische gevoelens heeft ze ook niet bij Arcadis. "Je moet gewoon kijken naar wat het beste is voor het bedrijf. Als er synergievoordelen te behalen zijn, dan is dat natuurlijk aantrekkelijk." Het laatste woord is hoe dan ook aan het Arcadisbestuur. Over het sentiment zijn beide experts het eens: dat is nog steeds goed. Zo staat de AEX nog steeds tegen de recordstand aan. Wel zien zowel Martine als Corné dat de nervositeit toeneemt; de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten is onvoorspelbaar, de techsector heeft het niet makkelijk, met als gevolg dat de Fear & Greed index weer op standje fear staat. Verder in de podcast onder andere aandacht voor goedkope AI-oplossingen uit China, de grote (onzichtbare) schulden die sommige AI-bedrijven aangaan en de waarschijnlijke overname van Commerzbank door UniCredit. Natuurlijk behandelen we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tip. Voor Corné is dat een algemene tip dit past bij dit seizoen van het jaar, Martine tipt een Amerikaans techbedrijf.

In deze aflevering praat ik met Martijn over de service die VanEck biedt bij het selecteren van ETF's, en dat zijn er twee.Ten eerste is er de VanEck-Direct app. Daarin kun je onder meer aangeven wat je profiel is, hoeveel risico je bijvoorbeeld bereid bent te nemen. Je kunt in die app, binnen jouw profiel, beleggen in ETF's, zowel aandelen als obligaties. Het biedt je de mogelijkheid automatisch te beleggen, waarbij VanEck de rest regelt tegen lage kosten. Daarnaast is er Beheerd Indexbeleggen. Ook daarmee beleg je in de ETF's van VanEck, maar het is voor vermogens vanaf 100-duizend euro. Het heeft veel weg van vermogensbeheer, je hebt een vast aanspreekpunt waarmee je kunt overleggen over je portefeuille. Beheerd Indexbeleggen is er voor particulieren, maar ook voor ondernemers die via hun BV willen beleggen. Ook hier zijn de kosten laag en aan de kosten zit ook een maximum, dus hoe groter het belegd vermogen, des te lager de kosten! Geniet van de podcast!

Chicago can feel up to 8 degrees hotter than suburbs and rural areas because there are more buildings and asphalt and fewer plants to aid the natural process of keeping an area cool. Parts of the city with the least greenspace, tree canopy and more industry can be even hotter than the city average temperature. In the Loop explores  efforts by residents and officials to identify the city's hotter areas and help residents adapt to the extreme heat.GUESTS: Max Berkelhammer, professor, earth and environmental sciences UIC Lindy Wordlaw, Assistant Commissioner, Department of EnvironmentNedra Sims-Fears, executive director, Greater Chatham InitiativeFor a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.

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!

Flooding has persistently plagued Chicago, the city famously built on a swamp. However, as storms become more severe and more frequent, residents will likely have to deal with flooded basements, streets and other damage more often.  With climate change driving worsening weather, Chicagoans are rolling up their sleeves to prepare. In the Loop hears from local organizations working to make communities more flood-resilient.GUESTS: Zach Wirtz, director of the Chicago Region Trees Initiative, Morton Arboretum Nina Idemudia, CEO, Center for Neighborhood TechnologyBre'Shaun Reddick, Local Partnership Manager, Alliance for the Great Lakes For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop. 

Plus: combatting loneliness, turning down the volume on social comparison, and why mattering to a few people beats outperforming everyone. Gordon Flett is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at York University where he has served as the Director of the LaMarsh Centre for Child and Youth Research. Dr. Flett is most known for his influential research on perfectionism in health and mental health and his more recent work on the psychology of mattering.  In this episode we talk about: The difference between perfectionism and healthy striving How perfectionism functions as a coping mechanism for unmet needs for love, belonging, and significance What "mattering" actually means Antimattering (and our fear of not mattering) Why feeling like you matter to others can loosen the grip of perfectionism Why people consistently underestimate how much they matter to others Practical ways to help others feel like they matter Why helping others feel like they matter boomerangs back and boosts your own sense of significance The fear of not mattering in the age of AI Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Additional Resources:  Gordon's books: The Psychology of Mattering, Mattering as a Core Need in Children and Adolescents, and Perfectionism: Theory, Research, and Treatment Join Dan, Sebene Selassie, and Jeff Warren for Meditation Party, a 3-day immersive retreat at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, October 16–18.
