Podcasts about making things

Pain can make it feel like the safest option is to stop training completely. But for many common aches and pains, doing nothing may actually make it harder to get back to moving, lifting, and feeling capable. Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson continue the Act Like You Care About Your Body series by talking about how to approach back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and other nagging issues without falling into either extreme: ignoring pain and pushing through everything, or treating every painful sensation like proof that something is broken. They discuss why pain is better treated as a data point, how to adjust load, volume, exercise selection, and range of motion, and why the goal is often to keep training while giving your body the stress and recovery it needs. They also explain how a good coach can help you train around limitations, rebuild confidence, and gradually work back toward full movement and heavier loading.

Here is Pastor Brock's annual Labor Day-themed message, preached on August 30, 2026.

If you've spent years chasing the next diet, counting calories, weighing yourself, or believing that your worth is tied to the number on the scale, this episode is for you.In this episode, I share why so many women feel trapped in an endless cycle of dieting and frustration—and why the answer isn't another meal plan or more willpower. Instead, true healing begins when you stop looking outside yourself for validation and start rebuilding trust with your own body.Lasting Change Requires the Right SupportBreaking free from diet culture isn't something you have to do alone.I talk about how your environment plays a powerful role in your relationship with food. From what's in your pantry to the people you spend time with, your surroundings either reinforce old habits or support new ones.Support can come from:Your home environmentA coach who understands your journeyA community of people walking the same pathHealing happens faster when you're surrounded by people who remind you what's possible.The Courage to Let Go of What Isn't WorkingOne of the hardest parts of healing isn't learning something new—it's releasing what you've relied on for years.If you've spent decades:DietingRestricting foodObsessing over your bodyLetting vacations, events, and social gatherings revolve around food…the first step is simply acknowledging:What I've been doing isn't working anymore.Real transformation begins with the willingness to let go of old strategies that no longer serve you.Rebuilding Trust With Your BodyInstead of relying on calorie trackers, macro calculators, or the scale to tell you whether you're "doing well," I invite you to begin listening inward.Ask yourself:What does my body need right now?Am I physically hungry?If I stop eating now, will this food still be available later?Freedom comes from knowing food isn't scarce and that your body already has incredible wisdom—you simply need to reconnect with it.Stop Looking for Validation Outside YourselfDiet culture teaches us to seek approval from numbers:CaloriesMacrosWeightAppsThe scaleBut none of these teach you how to trust yourself.Your body doesn't need another set of rules—it needs your attention, compassion, and curiosity.The Three Root Causes of Unwanted EatingOne of the core teachings inside the Make Peace With Food Method is that unwanted eating isn't about food itself.I've found that cravings and eating behaviors typically come from three primary sources:BiologicalWhen your body is under stress, cravings naturally increase.Examples include:Elevated cortisolPoor sleepBlood sugar spikes and crashesInsulin dysregulationPsychologicalFood often becomes a coping strategy for:Unprocessed emotionsStressChildhood conditioningPast traumaSocialOur environment continually shapes our habits:Family dynamicsHousehold routinesDiet cultureSocial expectationsUnderstanding why you're eating is far more powerful than focusing only on what you're eating.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

How often do you mistake the story in your head for the truth? In this deeply insightful coaching session, Christine works with Shannon, who has spent much of her life feeling like she's waiting for people to leave her. Growing up with a mother struggling with severe mental illness and a father who was absent for most of her life due to incarceration, Shannon learned to survive by becoming hypervigilant. Now, as an adult, those same survival strategies show up in her closest relationships. A small comment from her partner becomes evidence that he's leaving. A text message that goes unanswered becomes proof she's being rejected. A misunderstanding quickly spirals into a painful story about not being enough. Together, Christine and Shannon explore anxious attachment, abandonment wounds, childhood survival strategies, and one of the most powerful communication tools you can use to interrupt emotional spirals before they damage your relationships. Christine reminds us that message sent is not always message received—and that many of the stories we create during moments of fear have far more to do with our past than with what's actually happening in the present. If you've ever caught yourself assuming the worst, overthinking someone's words, or convincing yourself that people are pulling away without real evidence, this episode will help you slow down, seek clarity, and respond from your adult self instead of your wounded inner child. Press play to learn how changing one simple phrase can transform your relationships—and your peace of mind. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you often assume the worst when someone says or does something unexpected? Are you making decisions based on facts—or on stories your fear is creating? Do you struggle to know whether you're truly being hurt or simply being triggered? What would change if you asked for clarity instead of making assumptions? Key Insights and A-Ha's Childhood abandonment wounds can create hypervigilance in adult relationships. Survival strategies that once protected you may now be creating distance from the people you love. Triggers often distort reality, causing us to assign meaning that was never intended. Vulnerability creates connection; assumptions create isolation. Healthy relationships require clarification—not mind reading. How to Deepen the Work Practice using the phrases: "The story I'm making up in my head is..." and "What I'm making this mean is..."before reacting. Notice when your nervous system jumps to worst-case scenarios and pause before taking action. Give trusted people the opportunity to clarify their intentions before assuming rejection. Remember that seeking clarification is an act of self-advocacy, not weakness.

"Imposter syndrome" gets thrown around constantly in leadership spaces. But what if the label itself is doing more harm than good?Dr. Mira Brancu breaks down why the original researchers never called it a "syndrome" and what that distinction actually means for high achievers. If you've ever been promoted into a leadership role and suddenly felt like you had no idea what you were doing, this episode explains why that's not a flaw. It's the normal experience of someone learning a completely new skill set that nobody trained them for. Mira also gets real about why this hits harder for women and marginalized professionals, and draws a clear line between the kind of self-doubt that comes with growth and the kind that needs clinical support. Whether you're navigating this yourself or trying to support someone who is, this conversation will change how you think about it.Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, resilience, and the hard skills nobody teaches you.To find more of my work:Subscribe to this channelSubscribe to my free newsletter at: mailchi.mp/2079c04f4d44/subscribeWork with me one-on-one: calendly.com/mira-brancu/30-minute-initial-consultationConnect with me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/MiraBrancuLearn more about my services: www.gotowerscope.comGet practical workplace politics tips from my books: gotowerscope.com/booksGet my free Strategic Clarity and Leadership Resilience assessment: https://mailchi.mp/e1ebf8505764/slr-assessment Get my Free Burnout Root Cause Assessment: https://mailchi.mp/29d7d18fae4a/burnout-root-cause-assessmentGet my Workplace Grief Guide: https://mailchi.mp/46873b910380/workplace-grief-field-guide Find other free resources to support your leadership growth: https://gotowerscope.com/other-free-stuff Join the next Towerscope leadership workshop or fellowship: https://gotowerscope.com/fellowship Episodes and other resources referenced:https://gotowerscope.com/fellowship Clance, P.

Hey Dog Lover

After helping lead creative and innovation efforts for global brands including Starbucks and Hydro Flask, Dena Blevins found herself asking a different question: What happens when you stop building for some of the world's most recognized brands and start building something that feels deeply personal? In this episode of Design Of, Dena shares her journey from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship and the launch of Frank, a company inspired by the messy, funny, difficult, and beautiful realities of everyday life. At Frank, the mission is simple: create products inspired by what life throws at us and what's happening in the world around us. Sometimes that means diving into difficult topics. Sometimes it means finding humor in uncomfortable moments. And sometimes it means offering a proud middle finger and an undeniably frank point of view. Through a growing collection of bandanas, scarves, cocktail napkins, and thoughtful products, Frank gives people a way to wear, share, celebrate, mourn, laugh, support, and express what they're feeling. Or not. The choice is theirs. What makes this conversation compelling isn't the products. It's the story behind them. "I love that I can put something out there that hopefully resonates with others as well." — Dena Blevins After years helping shape stories for global brands, Dena found herself building a company rooted in that belief. We explore how leadership evolves over time, how personal experiences often become the foundation for meaningful businesses, and why some of the most impactful ideas begin not with a market opportunity but with a human one. Along the way, we talk about entrepreneurship, reinvention, grief, humor, purpose, storytelling, and what it means to create work that reflects who you are, not just what you do. And perhaps the biggest takeaway is this: The most meaningful businesses don't just create products. They create connection. In This Episode, We Explore • Dena's journey from global creative leadership at Starbucks and Hydro Flask to entrepreneurship • The story behind Frank and why she started it • Building a business rooted in honesty, humor, and humanity • How personal experiences can become meaningful products and opportunities • Why storytelling remains one of the most powerful business tools • The relationship between purpose, creativity, and entrepreneurship • What it means to redefine success in a new chapter of life Key Takeaways • Experience often reveals what matters most • Great businesses begin with real human needs • Stories create connection when they are relatable, honest, and human • Humor can help people navigate difficult conversations • Purpose and business can strengthen one another • New chapters require courage, curiosity, and conviction About Dena Dena Blevins is an entrepreneur, storyteller, and former global creative leader whose career includes leadership roles with Starbucks and Hydro Flask. She is the founder of Frank, a brand that creates bold, honest products inspired by real life and the world around us. Through bandanas, scarves, cocktail napkins, and storytelling, Frank helps people express themselves with humor, humanity, and an unapologetically frank point of view.

Los Angeles mayoral candidate and Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman is acutely aware of what's at stake as local Hollywood production craters — 42,000 jobs lost over two years between 2022 and 2024, shoot days down 50 percent below the five-year average. Many of her constituents in District 4, which stretches from the San Fernando Valley to the Santa Monica Mountains, work in the industry — and her husband, Vali Chandrasekaran, is a longtime writer and producer, with credits on television comedies like Modern Family, 30 Rock and Netflix's The Four Seasons. Last week, Raman came by the Ankler offices for a conversation with Richard Rushfield about her plan to save the industry, as well as her thoughts about how we got here.

If you've ever been told to suck your belly button into your spine, breathe into your belly, or just engage your core, this episode is for you. These cues are everywhere and while the intentions behind them are good, the way most people execute them is actually working against their core stability.In this episode Dr. Arneka breaks down the three most common core cues she hears from patients who come in still confused, still disconnected, and still in pain despite doing all the right things. If you've been doing core work for years and still feel weak, unstable, or like something isn't connecting, you're not broken. You've just been given incomplete instructions.You'll learn: Why sucking in shuts off the muscles you're trying to activate, why belly breathing leaves most people missing their full 360 degree ribcage, and why engage your core is too vague and leads to gripping and holding your breath instead of true stability.Book your free 20-minute discovery call to chat about your goals and ways I can support you!Thank you so much for checking out this The Resilient Body Podcast episode.

"There is magic in cooking, and in cooking Italian food there is alchemy" - Old World Italian by Mimi ThorissonSince our lives contain multitudes, yes an American poet once said that, I feel to step away from the noise is to disarm the outside influences that are at times necessary and sometimes it is just kind of ridiculous. So the remedy is to open a cookbook and read a recipe and make something beautiful. I am an instinctual cook, I like throwing things together and using what is within reach, but sometimes I do find it quite meditative to pull a book and take some quiet time to wander through the pages, let the pages talk to me. I find this kind of thing quite wonderful and simple. I like reading about the author's philosophy and personal experience, what brought them to share their world of cooking and eating and sharing. I find this rather meditative and inspirational, a balm for my spirit. In these changing times I believe it could be the perfect antidote to the things piling up on top of us. Cook something, eat something, and maybe share it with a friend.Note: The image is from my table, while editing I was baking my favourite Ricciarelli - the Tuscan almond biscuits from the cookbook by Gennaro Contaldo - Gennaro's Italian Bakery...Enjoy, Michelle xShownotes A Writer in Italy InstagramSubstack - At My TableMichelle's BooksMusical Scores by Richard JohnstonA Writer in Italy is about travel and life.

My guest today is Brian Chesky, the co-founder and CEO of Airbnb. Our conversation traces the path from his early training as an industrial designer at RISD through the pandemic moment that forced him into founder mode.  He explains why he thinks AI founder mode will demand even more attention to the details and why founders are rarely good early CEOs. He walks through his eleven-star exercise, which is a way of imagining the most absurd version of a customer experience to achieve product market fit.  We also talk about what changed for him when he stopped chasing adulation and started making things for the love of making them.  For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.  ----- Become a Colossus member to get our quarterly print magazine and private audio experience, including exclusive profiles and early access to select episodes.

There's an assumption buried inside almost every productivity system, self-help framework, and optimization routine: that you're not enough yet. That the gap between who you are and who you should be is the central problem to solve. I've spent fifteen years in this space, and I've watched that assumption quietly do a lot of damage. My guest today has spent roughly the same amount of time making the case that sometimes the belief that you need to improve is a bigger problem than whatever you're trying to fix.Mark Manson is the author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope, two of the most widely read books in the personal development space over the last decade. He's the host of the Solved podcast, where he and his research team do exhaustive, long-form deep dives on the ideas most podcasters treat like talking points. And he recently co-founded Purpose, an AI-powered platform designed to make personal growth coaching accessible at scale. Mark and I have a lot of shared territory in this conversation—and a few places where we push each other in productive directions.Six Discussion PointsThe backwards law in action: why every message of "you need to improve" carries an implicit second message—that you're not enough as you are right nowWhy optimal is suboptimal—and how relentless optimization can make the quality of your actual life measurably worse, not betterThe two dimensions of productivity most advice ignores: hours worked is not the same as leverage, and until you separate them, no system will help youWhy effort is a double-edged sword—it only creates meaningful output when it's aligned with something that actually matters to you, and it actively works against you when it isn'tHow language shapes whether an idea lands—why the same truth needs to be said differently at different moments in a person's life, and why that's not semantics, it's everythingThe question Mark poses before chasing any goal: do you actually want the costs? Not the highlights—the daily friction, the ongoing compromise, the downside of the dreamThree Connection PointsMark Manson's website and free twice-weekly newsletterThe Solved podcast: Mark's long-form, research-heavy series on the ideas people say they've heard before but haven't actually examinedLearn about Purpose, Mark's AI coaching and personal growth platformMark's most useful provocation in this conversation isn't the one with the sharpest edge. It's the quieter one: before you add another goal, another system, another layer of self-improvement, ask yourself whether you actually want to live with what it costs. Not the version of it that works. The version on the hard days. The answer to that question tells you more about whether you're chasing the right thing than any productivity metric ever will.

Can you work out 4x per week during recovery?

Here is a quick reference so you feel confident if anyone asks: The migraine + GLP-1 pilot study is published in the journal Headache (PubMed confirmed), authored by Braca et al., conducted January through July 2024, published online June 17, 2025. It is the most current clinical study on this topic. 31 participants, 12 weeks. This is the one everyone is quoting. The nutrient deficiency study is published June 2025 in PubMed, covering 461,382 adults. Very large, very recent, very credible. The muscle loss data comes from the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting in June 2025 and a Nature Reviews Endocrinology paper from July 2025. The pill approval is December 2025 (Wegovy pill) and April 1, 2026 (Foundayo/orforglipron, Eli Lilly's pill). Both are current. The FDA supplement warning on compounded and fraudulent GLP-1 products is actively updated through early 2026 on the FDA's website. Everything in this outline is sourced from 2024 or 2025, with the pill approvals being the most recent news. The hemiplegic migraine case study is from PubMed, published 2024.

Luis Mendo is a Spanish-born illustrator based in Nagano, Japan, and his work is unmistakably, irreducibly human. His drawings are populated by bespectacled bird-like figures — part alter ego, part philosophical sparring partner — rendered with the kind of warmth and specificity that no prompt can summon. There's a hand behind every line, and you feel it. That's not an accident. It's a philosophy. Because as we talk about in the show, as non-human intelligence becomes cheaper, the human touch, and real, earned, interpersonal trust will become the rarest currency (to paraphrase Anu Atluru's quote). Luis' path is anything but direct. After two decades as a successful art director and editorial designer in Amsterdam — building magazines, running teams, living inside meetings and inboxes — he took a sabbatical in Tokyo and never really came back. Not because the work dried up, but because he found something better: a life built around drawing, shaped by Japanese craftsmanship culture, and grounded in the shokunin ethic that says if you're going to do a thing, you do it properly, all the way, no shortcuts. Today Luis publishes his work through a membership site he built himself, on his own terms, on a platform he controls. He's obsessed with making things worth keeping — including a beautifully crafted physical book he sweated every detail of, right down to standing at the press to get the colors right. In a moment when so many of us are asking what creativity even means when machines can approximate it on demand, Luis has an answer: make things that carry your presence. Make things that could only come from you. You can explore his work and join his community at mundomendo.com. Also, Luis has a special offer for Design Better listeners: get 20% off a membership to his site by visiting the link dbtr.co/mundomendo. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better.

In this week's bonus episode of The Spark, we get to know Aporva Baxi a little better. From photographing shadows and beams of light to whispering ideas into his phone in the supermarket, Aporva shares the small habits that shape his creative life. We chat about music that fuels his thinking (hello Aphex Twin), the films that have stayed with him (Kubrick, of course), and why noticing the everyday might be the most important creative skill of all. There's also talk of creative heroes, strange rituals, and the kind of dinner party that would properly stretch your mind. Yes, it's a lighter, more personal conversation. But as always, there's plenty in there to take away.

Have you ever been told your pelvic floor is weak, so you start doing kegels… but things actually feel worse? Maybe you feel tight, tense, or guarded, yet you're still experiencing symptoms like leaking, pelvic pressure, pain, or instability. You're not crazy — and your body isn't broken. One of the most common patterns pelvic floor physical therapists see is tight AND weak muscles at the same time. When muscles are constantly gripping or guarding, they often become fatigued, poorly coordinated, and unable to generate true strength. In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down why tightness and weakness often coexist and walks you through the step-by-step rehab process for restoring pelvic floor and core function safely. If you've ever wondered whether you should stretch more, strengthen more, or rest, this episode will help you understand what your body actually needs. In This Episode You'll Learn ✔ Why pelvic floor muscles can be tight and weak at the same time ✔ The biggest mistake women make when trying to strengthen their core ✔ Why doing more kegels isn't always the answer ✔ The step-by-step rehab progression pelvic floor PTs use ✔ How to move from pain and tension → strength and confidence The Pelvic Floor RESTORE Rehab Roadmap Healing the pelvic floor isn't about jumping straight into strengthening. True recovery follows a sequence: Release → Restore → Rebuild → Reload 1️⃣ Release Reduce tension and guarding through breathwork, mobility, and nervous system regulation. 2️⃣ Restore Rebuild coordination between the diaphragm, pelvic floor, and core through 360 breathing and gentle activation. 3️⃣ Rebuild Strength Progress into functional strength exercises that integrate the whole body. 4️⃣ Reload Return to higher-impact activities like running, jumping, lifting, and sports safely. Skipping these steps is one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck in cycles of pain, leaking, or pelvic pressure. Signs Your Body Is Moving In The Right Direction As your system heals you may notice: Less pelvic heaviness or pressure • Improved bladder control • Easier breathing during exercise • Better coordination and stability • Reduced pain and tension Remember: coordination comes before strength.

When I met Emily Boksenbaum at our Maker's Day 2025 conference in Chicago, I knew I had to get her on the Shoecast.Emily's always made stuff. First it was art growing up, which led to a focus on fiber material studies in art school. Next came leather tooling, prop-making and other “creative odd jobs,” before going into corporate footwear design. That didn't quite hit for her, which meant it was finally time to figure out how to make some cowboy boots. After training under some of the great makers and teachers in the space, she moved to Boulder, Colorado to open a custom boot shop dubbed Underhill Leather out of her garage, which she shares with one of our favorite former Shoecast guests, fellow cowboy bootmaker Holly Henry.This one goes ALL sorts of places, as Emily gets deep into navigating different materials, machinery, and mindsets; the emotional and dare we say metaphysical layers of creation; that time she woke up to flood of DMs from eager customers thanks to a bass guitarist who loved her boots; and what it means to be a maker in a world that's forgotten how to make things.Oh and Zagnuts!

After betrayal, many couples do everything right. They read the books. They go to therapy. They have the hard conversations. They show up every day. And still, they are exhausted. In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody challenge one of the most protected beliefs in recovery: that more effort equals more healing. Sometimes, the very effort meant to fix things is quietly making them worse. __________________________________ Download the Free Video Resource: Rekindle Romance After Betrayal https://www.geoffsteurer.com/romance-after-betrayal ______________________________ Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After Betrayal When betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Creativity is not just for artists or makers, so how can we build creativity and move from having an idea to doing something with it? Joining Jill for this conversation is Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, a senior research scientist and the author of The Creativity Choice. Zorana discusses her journey into the world of creativity, the broader definition of creative acts beyond the arts, and how our emotions play a crucial role in creative processes. She emphasizes embracing discomfort, finding inspiration in frustration, and the necessity for community and collaboration in creative endeavors. This episode is a must-listen if you're curious to explore your own creative potential and bust the myth that creativity is just for the naturally gifted artists.Listen and Learn:How a formative childhood experience with art and creative differences sparked Zorana's lifelong passion for studying creativityHow creativity isn't limited to the arts; it can appear in everyday life, work, and problem-solving, showing that everyone has the potential to be creativeOvercoming fear, uncertainty, and the ‘gap trap' by embracing discomfort, practicing creative self-efficacyWhy creativity is less about sudden inspiration and more about exploring problems deeply, asking questions, experimenting, and allowing solutions to emergeHow both positive and negative emotions serve as valuable information that can inspire creativityWhy creative blocks are a normal part of the process, and why approaching them with self-compassion can help overcome them and restore creative flowHow creativity and community intersect, and how collaboration or social connections can support the creative processResources:Zorana's Website: https://www.zorana-ivcevic-pringle.com/The Creativity Choice: The Science of Making Decisions to Turn Ideas Into Action: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781541704329 Zorana's Substack Newsletter: https://creativitydecision.substack.com/ Connect with Zorana on Social MediaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zorana-ivcevic-pringle/ BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/z-i-pringle.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/ZoranaPsych Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZoranaIvcevicPringle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.z.i.pringle/About Zorana Ivcevic PringleZorana Ivcevic Pringle, Ph.D., is a Senior Research Scientist at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.

Here is the GoFundMe link for Pearl that I mention in this episode: https://gofund.me/2aa4d537e Most people don't get enough sleep — and even a small deficit can take a big toll. Just 15 extra minutes a night can boost your health, focus, and mood more than you'd expect. This episode begins with a surprising look at how too little sleep quietly undermines your life — and how a little more can make all the difference. https://www.sleep.com/sleep-health/15-minutes-extra-sleep Simple beats complicated — in business, communication, and life. Yet most of us instinctively make things harder than they need to be. Marketing entrepreneur and educator Ben Guttmann, who's helped clients from the NFL to Nobel Laureates, reveals why simplicity is the ultimate superpower and how to harness it in your ideas, writing, and daily decisions. He's the author of Simply Put: Why Clear Messages Win—and How to Design Them (https://amzn.to/3udtVwz). You probably have pockets in nearly everything you wear — and yet, they're only about 500 years old. Where did they come from? Why are women's pockets so small? And what do they say about how people have lived through history? Hannah Carlson, a historian of clothing and author of POCKETS: An Intimate History of How We Keep Things Close (https://amzn.to/3SUzmef), reveals the surprisingly political, personal, and practical story of the humble pocket. Finally, anger isn't always destructive — used wisely, it can be one of your greatest motivators. Research shows that channeling anger toward a meaningful goal can actually help you focus and achieve more. I'll explain how to tap into the power of anger — without letting it take over. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/feeling-angry-may-help-people-achieve-goals-study-finds-rcna123611 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
