In this week's episode, both of our storytellers are pushed out of their comfort zones—and challenged to see the world through someone else's eyes.Part 1: As someone who always likes to play it safe, psychologist Kenneth Carter sets out to understand what makes thrill-seekers tick. Part 2: Philosophy professor Rob Reich is frustrated that so many new Stanford students are headed straight into computer science. Dr. Kenneth Carter is the Charles Howard Candler Professor of Psychology at Oxford College of Emory University and the founding director of the Emory University Center for Public Scholarship and Engagement. He served as the interim dean of Oxford College from 2022-2023. A graduate of Oxford College and Emory University, Carter received an MA and PhD in psychology from the University of Michigan. He is the author of several textbooks including Psychopathology: Understanding Psychological Disorders (Cambridge University Press) and the forthcoming Living Psychology (SAGE Publications). He has published in both academic and lay publications, translating psychology research into engaging everyday language. His articles have been published in magazines such as Psychology Today and Women's Health, and he has appeared on news programs such as CNN Tonight, NPR's: ShortWave, All Things Considered, and NBC's Today show. The psychology of thrill-seeking is the current focus of Dr. Carter's research. He has delivered TEDx talk on thrill-seekers and is the host of Mind of a Motorhead an NBC Sports web series that examines the personalities of motorsport athletes. His most recent book is Buzz!: Inside the Minds of Thrill-Seekers, Daredevils, and Adrenaline Junkies (Cambridge University Press). When not teaching, speaking, or writing, Dr. Carter prefers reading and relaxing on the beach rather than wingsuit flying or BASE jumping. Rob Reich, is the McGregor-Girand Professor of Social Ethics of Science and Technology, Associate Director of Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), Co-Director of the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society (PACS), and the former Director of Stanford's Center for Ethics in Society. His scholarship in political theory engages with the work of social scientists and engineers. His current work is on ethics, policy, and technology. As a 2024-25 Scholar in Service, he will serve as Senior Advisor to the U.S. AI Safety Institute (AISI).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls. 5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. 6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother. 7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains a brief discussion of suicide. Listener discretion is advised. In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, host Hemma Lomax is joined by Lynette Buebird—trainer at Mind, the UK's leading mental health charity, and a certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor with Mental Health First Aid England. Tune in to hear an insightful discussion about building cultures where the mind can thrive. Lynette's career path is guided by a deep curiosity about how people think, learn, and thrive. She studied both law and psychology, taught law, moved into school-age education, expanded her impact in higher education, and now focuses on training organisations in mental health awareness and neurodiversity-inclusive compliance. Through Mind, she equips organisations to go beyond “tick-box” compliance—blending legal knowledge, psychological insight, and educational skill to create workplaces that are both compliant and compassionate. As a Mental Health First Aid Instructor, Lynette also trains individuals to act as “first responders” for mental health—helping them spot early signs of distress, intervene appropriately, and connect people to the right support.  In this conversation, Lynette and Hemma explore: How Mind equips organisations to prioritise wellness while meeting their legal obligations. What it's like to be a mental health “first responder” in corporate and community settings. What a neurodiversity-first compliance approach looks like in practice. Common mistakes organisations make when addressing workplace mental health—and how to avoid them. How compliance teams, HR, and leaders can work together to create inclusive, stigma-free environments. Practical, high-impact steps any organisation can take today to support neurodiverse and mentally diverse employees better. Biography Lynette Buebird is a trainer at Mind, specialising in workplace mental health awareness and neurodiversity inclusion. She holds degrees in law and psychology, has taught law, and worked in both school-age and higher education. She is also a Mental Health First Aid Instructor with Mental Health First Aid England, training individuals to recognise, respond to, and support mental health needs in corporate and community settings. Lynette combines her legal expertise, psychological insight, and educational experience to help organisations move beyond minimum legal requirements toward cultures where all employees can thrive. For her, compliance leadership means empowering people and institutions to make inclusion a lived, everyday practice.

When I woke up today… I quickly noticed…“It's waaay worse than I thought…” (And that's actually good news…)You've probably noticed…If you let it, the vine will grow wild…Neville was right…We've gotta prune it…Or it will choke your dreams to death...So we prune the vine…Morning, noon, and night… What you might not have noticed is…If you prune like most people try to…Pruning the mind becomes a full time job… And it can become hard work….And that's exhausting…It takes away from your day…It actually ends up distancing you from your dreams… Now… What most never find out is… Your “mind” and your IMAGINATION are two very different things…. READ THAT AGAIN! One is great at math…It memorizes all kinds of things… And it's really digs the step by step what to do and how to do things… And it loves saying NO…. That's your mind… Your mind is HOW you go shopping, pay a bill, turn on your phone, and talk yourself out of the fun times… Your mind is how most people let their dreams die… A tiny peek into my childhood…. They said, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste…” (That was a commercial from the 80s in the old country)Encouraging us kids to go to college… And it might be true…A mind is a terrible thing to waste.. But I also notice…My mind, can be a terrible thing…If I let it be in charge…. It goes nuts trying to figure out what it can't possibly need to know… And it tries to say NO to pretty much everything that it hasn't done before… The mind…It's a great servant…It's a shit master… And that's why for most…Things get worse, and sometimes they never get better… Because almost nobody notices…Because they've never been told… Imagination and Mind are two totally separate things… This is sooo cool… AWAKENED IMAGINATION That's where we find the playground of possibilities…That's where we give life to magic and miracles… Here's the quote that Victoria and I adore…. “The sixth disciple is called Bartholomew. This quality is the imaginative faculty, which quality of the mind when once awake, distinguishes one from the masses."  Awakened Imagination - isn't good at math. (It doesn't care about math.) Awakened Imagination is great at Miracles. Awakened Imagination doesn't try to figure out the “step by steps” needed to make it happen… And it doesn't say NO to the power of NOW… Because Awakened Imagination - sees beyond appearances…Awakened Imagination creates kingdoms. Since most people don't know - there's a HUGE DIFFERENCE - a world of difference - between Imagination (Miracles) and Mind (Math). They live their lives - like math class. “Thinking about it.”“Thing things through…”“Thinking everything - every single dream - to death." Meanwhile… Imagination - is what you truly are…Neville says, “YOU are a life-giving spirit…  We truly are Awakened Imagination…We have a totally different way of life…And we remember… Your IMAGINATION - your MIRACLE maker - is head and shoulders above all that… Your Awakened Imagination sees from sunshine - warms the world with miracles… It wants to say, “more please” to everything you've always wanted… If this is making sense to you…I invite you to join us on USA Sunday afternoon….But only if joining us is a HELL YEAH! CLICK HERE TO SAVE YOUR SEAT! We're doing a way cool live call…It's all about you having a “HELL YEAH!” way of life….Magical moments and endless miracles…. Becuase when you trade your MAGIC for math…Because it's the “math maybes” that steal your dreams…. Think about it…But not for too long…. Because doing math - kills your miracles…Time and time again…It did yesterday, it might tomorrow…. On the other hand…Spreading your wings…Lifts you higher and higher… Above the clouds of the mind…Revealing the sunshine you truly are… You've got two possible futures right now…Math or Miracles…

I welcome back renowned persuasion expert and bestselling author Jay Heinrichs. Jay, widely celebrated for his book “Thank You for Arguing,” returns to share insights from his latest book: “Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion: How Ancient Rhetoric, Taylor Swift, and Your Own Soul Can Help You Change Your Life.” Jay dives into the personal journey that inspired the book—a year-long experiment where he applied the classical tools of rhetoric not just to business or negotiation, but to overcoming his own struggles with motivation, self-doubt, and a significant physical setback. Using a daunting mountain-running challenge as the backdrop, Jay explores how reframing your internal dialogue and negotiating with your mind and body can lead to surprising breakthroughs, both professionally and personally. Outline of This Episode [03:41] How Jay improved his negotiation skills through personal adversity. [07:04] An overview of mastering negotiation skills overview. [10:22] Honing negotiation skills while coping with chronic pain and limited mobility. [15:37] Evaluate desires vs. needs, question materialism, and align actions with one's true self for self-worth and persuasion. [19:04] Ancient Greeks explored self-dialogue, changing negative self-talk, and reframing thoughts can improve one's mindset. [23:32] Mind training is the practice of convincing your body to go beyond its perceived limits. The Art of Persuading Yourself After years spent teaching organizations how to persuade, he was challenged to turn those tools inward during a period marked by low motivation, self-pity, and a debilitating physical ailment. Jay explains how much harder it is to separate yourself as a negotiator and client when you are both the persuader and the persuaded. Inspired by Aristotle's teachings and his desire for change, Jay embarked on an experiment: Could the classical tools of rhetoric, updated for the modern age, help him overcome deep-seated doubts and achieve what seemed impossible? The Self-Persuasion Experiment The crux of Jay's journey was a literal mountain—Mount Moosilauke in New Hampshire, an Olympic training ground with a 3.7-mile run and a 2,800-foot elevation gain. At nearly 58 years old, told by doctors he might never walk again, Jay set a goal to become the first person over 50 to “run his age” up the mountain, climbing it in fewer minutes than his age in years. The process was nothing short of transformational. It demanded significant lifestyle changes: losing an eighth of his body weight, training for hours each day, giving up alcohol, and enduring a groundbreaking (and painful) medical procedure. As he struggled to reach his goal, Jay leaned on rhetorical strategies—not just to stay motivated, but to redefine his relationship with challenge, pain, and self-doubt. Reframing Reality Through Rhetoric One of the episode's standout lessons is the power of “reframing”—a quintessential rhetorical move. Jay describes how hyperbole, often dismissed as mere exaggeration, can become a tool for motivation: “What if you can believe in throwing something beyond yourself and then chase after it like a dog after a ball?” In this way, ambitious (even seemingly impossible) goals can become motivational hyperboles, stretching our perceived limits and moving us beyond inertia. He also draws from Aristotle's lesser-known work, On the Soul. Here, the concept of the “ideal self” or “soul” becomes the internal audience you must convince. The three classical elements of ethos—craft, caring, and cause—become the benchmarks of persuasion, not just with others, but with that idealized version of yourself. Negotiation as a Daily Practice Whether you're persuading a client, navigating a difficult deal, or pushing your limits in training, the process is the same: a series of negotiations with your goals, excuses, fears, and aspirations. Jay's year of self-persuasion wasn't about achieving physical greatness; it was about discovering happiness and gratitude, negotiating, ultimately, for a better relationship with oneself. Watts highlights the universal nature of this lesson, referencing cinematic moments of grit and perseverance, and reminds us that the real challenge is not just winning the deal, but winning yourself over, again and again.

Send us a textAlright friends, this one's a juicy flex of an episode. If you've ever thought about strength training as just “working out,” you're gonna leave this convo seeing your muscles as the badass miracle tissue they actually are. My guest today is journalist and author Bonnie Tsui, who wrote a brilliant book all about muscle. Like, the science and the soul of it.We dig into why women have historically been sidelined when it comes to muscle building and how we're finally flipping that script. Like, did you know women used to avoid swim team because they didn't want their shoulders to look “too big”? (Insert a big ol' eye roll here.) And Bonnie's not just talking aesthetics. She's going deep on muscle as essential to longevity, confidence, emotional resilience, and yeah, even your identity.This episode is for anyone who's ever stepped into a gym and felt like they didn't belong or who's just curious about why grip strength is suddenly a thing your doctor actually cares about.Plus, we get into puberty, menopause, and the myths of the Marvel six-pack. Hint: Your glutes are more than just a good angle on Instagram. They might actually be the reason humans evolved the way we did. Mind. Blown.I left this convo totally rethinking how I teach strength to my clients, and I guarantee it'll change how you move through the world (maybe literally). So grab your kettlebells or your coffee, and let's get into it.What's Inside:Why muscle isn't just for meatheads and why we all need to give it more creditThe real story behind women ditching sports during puberty (and why we've got to change that)How strength training intersects with politics, beauty ideals and powerWhy a visible six-pack doesn't mean what you think it does and why grip strength might actually be your new favorite metricQuick gut check…Are you still thinking muscle is just about how you look in a tank top? Have you been seeing strength as a chore instead of a gift? Let's flip that. This episode might just be the nudge you need to start lifting heavy and owning your power. I want to know what strength feels like to you these days.

In this episode, we reflect on the Beginner's Mind retreat, exploring the courage it takes to meet each moment without clinging to certainty. Through a Rilke poem, a timeless Zen story, and the shared experiences of retreat participants, we discover the power of “not knowing” as a doorway to intimacy with life. The talk invites us to let go of our assumptions, soften our habits of mind, and return to the freshness of direct experience. Coming home, we find, is not a destination but the living presence of this moment.This talk was given on July 13th 2025 during the GVZM Sunday Program. ★ Support this podcast ★

Many people all over the world don't like karma, Buddhists included. It's seen in a really cliched, hippy kind of way. So serious people don't like to talk about it. But actually, if we look at the big picture of Buddha's view of the universe, it's a coherent world view actually. The thing is, if the law of karma were not relevant to Buddhism, if it were not something valid, the whole of Buddhism would collapse into a heap of complete absurdity.  The whole of Buddhism is rooted in the view of karma, so it's crucial to understand. Because it's so fundamentally different from the philosophical materialist view, which of course is the view that prevails in our culture, and the one we think is serious, then we feel sometimes embarrassed to talk about it.  But let's look at it. The Buddha's view is fundamentally different from other religious traditions. But often when we hear about karma it sounds exactly the same. Don't do this and don't do that, and if you do do this something bad will happen. We don't ever think about the good things. We hear it as a system of punishment and reward. If we want to understand Buddhism we need to know these differences and understand them properly, so we can start to apply them in our lives. To make these differences really clear, we need to know what the mind is. This is the starting point for the Buddha, and this is the central point, all the way to Buddhahood, all the way to enlightenment. To understand the mind is absolutely vital. The mind is what ‘creates' karma.  The Buddha's view is super clear, all the evidence is there, all the literature is there, all the findings of all the great yogis are there - that consciousness or mind (these words are used synonymously) is not physical, not the brain, nor is it even a function of the brain. It doesn't mean the brain doesn't play a role, it's very evident. The brain is a physical indicator of what is going on in the mind, in the consciousness. Mind has got far subtler levels of cognition, this is something absolutely fundamentally necessary to understand if you want to understand Buddhism, Buddhist psychology, Buddhist philosophy, and the view of karma. The potential of mind, there's nothing equivalent in modern psychology. It sounds like science fiction to neuroscientists and psychologists, the level to which we can develop our mind. So you could say that one of the key jobs of being Buddhist is to remove from the mind - all ego, fears, neuroses, delusion, attachment, jealousy, anger, low self esteem, depression. But not only can we do that, we can develop to perfection all the other parts of our mind - love, wisdom, compassion, generosity - all the virtues. Buddha has found these are at the core of our being. These are who we actually are in our being.  Mind and consciousness refer to your thoughts, intellect, feelings, subconscious, unconscious, instinct, intuition, this entire spectrum of our inner being, this is our mind. It's a much more subjective use of the word, and it's super personal. Mind does not come from anyone else, nobody gives you a mind. We don't need creating, we do fine creating ourselves, and this is where the law of karma comes in. So then what is it that determines the person I am? The Buddha is like a doctor, this is a really powerful point about karma, the Buddha says it's a natural law that nobody wants to be harmed. This is fundamental, no-one makes it that way. A negative action is one that harms another. It's a natural law, like gravity, that every millisecond of what any sentient being thinks, does, or says - is a natural process of programming your mind, or as they say in the texts - of sowing seeds in your mind. Seeds by definition will naturally ripen, and in this case, as our own future experiences. His Holiness the Dalai Lama calls karma ‘self creation'. Mahamudra Centre for Universal Unity, New Zealand, 12th April 2021.

Dara Ladjevardian, founder and CEO of Delphi, is creating digital minds that allow people to scale their thoughts and availability without replacing human connection. Inspired by Ray Kurzweil's theory of mind as a hierarchy of pattern recognizers, Dara built an adaptive temporal knowledge graph that captures how people think and reason. From helping CEOs train new hires to enabling coaches to monetize their expertise 24/7, Delphi represents a new form of conversational media. Dara explains why authentic human representation matters, how digital minds actually increase desire for real human connection, and why he believes 2026 will be the tipping point for adoption for digital minds. Hosted by Sonya Huang and Jess Lee, Sequoia Capital Mentioned in this episode: How to Create a Mind: 2012 book by Ray Kurzweil that inspired Dara The Memoirs of Akbar Ladjevardian: 2008 book about Dara's grandfather, an Iranian industrialist, that led him to create his first “digital mind” Build: 2022 book by Tony Fadell that refers to itself as “a mentor in a box”; another inspiration for Dara The 2 Sigma Problem: 1984 paper by Benjamin Bloom about how students that receive one-on-one tutoring perform two standard deviations better than students educated in a classroom environment

Some travel isn't back and forth in TIME, but rather sort of horizontal...   original text:   PLACEBO By DAVID MASON Each 1955 was worse than the last! [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Infinity Science Fiction, November 1955. Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.] The object appeared in the middle of Main Way, about fifty feet from the statue of Vachel Lindsay, and at least a hundred from anything else. It was much too big and complicated to have been hidden anywhere, and it hadn't any wheels, tracks, wings, or other visible means of movement. Corrigan, looking the object over, decided that it could not have come from any logical place in the world. Not being prejudiced, he then thought a little about the illogical places, and the places that weren't in the world. Corrigan decided that it must be another attempt at time travel, and he clucked his tongue sympathetically. Well, someone had to break the news. Corrigan arose from the grass and walked toward the object. There was a young man sitting in the object, on a sort of high saddle. He looked a little wild-eyed, and he seemed to be talking to himself, as he pulled and twisted at the rows of controls in front of him. Corrigan, looking up at him, decided that he couldn't be very healthy, and that the stiff gray garments he wore must be extremely uncomfortable. "Greetings, traveler," Corrigan called. "You're speaking Anglish!" the young man exclaimed. "Good! Maybe I can get some help here. What year is this?" "1955, by most systems." The young man turned a little paler. "I've just left 1955," he said unhappily. "Four times, in fact. Four different 1955's. And each one's a bit worse. Now the machine won't work." "Your theory's wrong," Corrigan said calmly. "Hasn't it occurred to you yet that time travel might be impossible?" The young man made a choked sound. He began to climb down from his perch, keeping his eyes fixed suspiciously on Corrigan as he did so. He saw Corrigan as a small brown man, dressed in loose blue trousers, barefooted, and with a puff of white hair that seemed never to have been properly cut. The lawns and grassy roads, the bright and impermanent-looking buildings, and Corrigan himself, all added up to one thing in the young man's mind. "You're wrong," Corrigan said. "I'm not a lunatic, and this isn't an asylum. We don't have them." The young man, on the ground now, stared at Corrigan in evident horror. "Mind reading?" "More or less," Corrigan said. "It saves time. For instance, you're Darwin Lenner, and you'd like very much to get back to wherever you started from. In fact, you have to, or something unpleasant might happen to you, by your standards." "I'd be absent without permission," Lenner admitted. "I ... I wish you wouldn't do that." "Only when absolutely necessary," Corrigan smiled. "I'm a philosopher by trade, myself, not a mind reader. My name's Philip Corrigan, and I'd be very glad to help you on your way ... but I think it might be a little difficult. We aren't really a very mechanically-minded people here." Lenner ran his hands through his hair. "I've got to get back. Isn't there anybody who knows something about time machines?" Corrigan had been thinking swiftly. He had also been carrying on a conversation which Lenner could not possibly hear, with a man who was several miles away. "Burwell, he wants to go home." "Fine. He ought to. Why doesn't he?" "He lost his confidence. He thinks his machine's broken down." "That kind, eh? I suppose the thing never really did work very well." "Most of them don't. They go traveling around hit-or-miss through probability under the operator's own mental steam—but this fellow probably comes from a world where an idea like that's illegal." "Sounds like it. Corrigan, take him on a guided tour or something, and keep him busy. I'll be over as soon as I can. I'm going to do something for his self-confidence. Here's the story to give him...." Corrigan had always enjoyed conducting guided tours, and he was enjoying this one especially well. He had a slightly wicked taste for complicated teasing, and Lenner was a perfect object. He had evidently come from one of the more unpleasant probabilities, a world full of complex rules and harshly restrictive; everything that he saw bothered him. The handsome girls, wearing unstrategically placed flowers and very little else; the flocks of children, as plentiful as pigeons and apparently as free of supervision; the almost total absence of anybody actually performing useful work ... all of it contributed to Lenner's increasing nervousness. The guided tour went in a wide circle, and Lenner and Corrigan wound up sitting in a tavern facing on Main Way. Lenner ignored the green drink before him and peered unhappily out the big window toward his machine. "Where is that friend of yours?" he asked, for the fifth time. "He'll be here," Corrigan assured him. "Why hurry? Don't you like it here?" Lenner's mouth hardened. He looked around him, and shook his head. "No." He spoke almost apologetically, "I'm sorry ... well, look, old fellow, no hard feelings, I hope. But this world of yours is primitive. Degenerate, I'd say." "Primitive?" "No laws—not even morals! Those girls ... and of course, you don't have any civilized advantages. Not even ground transportation. That man you spoke of has to walk here. And that's something else I don't understand. You say he's another time traveler...." "Probability traveler, actually," Corrigan corrected. "All right, probability. Why does he stay here? Why would a really intelligent man give up civilization?" "Well, you know how it is. He's gone native, you might say. Life among the lotus eaters, and all that. Might happen to anybody, even yourself." Lenner shuddered. "It's all right, though." Corrigan continued. "He'll be here any minute, and I'm sure he'll be able to help. Knows all there is to know about these machines. In fact, here he comes now." Burwell entered, and Corrigan could hardly suppress a small chuckle. Burwell had picked up Lenner's ideas about what a man of intelligence and authority ought to look like, and had gone to some trouble to look the part. He was wearing a uniform of some sort, spectacles, and an expression of extreme wisdom. "I'm sure I can repair what's wrong," Burwell told Lenner. "Let's go and look at your machine." Arriving, Burwell climbed over the mechanism with an air of bored ability, occasionally thumping at something, adjusting something else, or hitting a part with a tool until it rang. He muttered to himself as he worked, allowing the sound of his musings to drift in Lenner's direction. "Umm ... badly twisted impeller ... the varish is more or less waffled ... let's see if ... ah, there we are." He climbed down and solemnly shook hands with Lenner. "Fine machine you've got there, my boy. It'll take you back to your own place quite easily now. There wasn't a thing wrong except the drift crotch. However, I wouldn't use it again if I were you. There's no real control on these things. A man could end up anywhere. And of course, you'd never find your way back here, without control." "Well, thanks..." Lenner said doubtfully. He glanced around. "It's a shame there's no way we could regularly communicate between our worlds. There's a lot we could do for this one." "I'm sure of that," Burwell said, hastily looking away. "But it isn't worth the danger and difficulty of reaching us. For myself, it doesn't matter any more." He assumed a nobly tragic expression. "But you are young; you've got your life ahead of you; your State and your society need you. I'm glad to help you on your way." Lenner mounted the machine, and Burwell beamed a thought at Corrigan. "I've convinced him that the thing works, and that it would not be easy to come back. Actually, that machine of his is a real work of art. It doesn't do a damn thing. This boy comes from a place where they have to have a mechanical crutch for everything. His gadgets are pink pill stuff ... something to convince him he can do things he could do anyway. All we have to do now is give him a small mental shove to help him along, and he'll be home in no time. All right, now—SHOVE!" Corrigan and Burwell shoved. Lenner and his machine faded and were gone, leaving only a flattened place on the grass. "Brrr," Burwell said. "Am I glad that worked! If he'd stayed another week or so we would have had our first lunatic of the century." "Or worse," Corrigan said, stirring the grass with his toes. "Did you get what he was thinking about when he talked about his world and ours getting into touch, and civilizing us?" "I got it, all right." Burwell said. "The fellow's mind was a swamp. A real primitive. And just like any other primitive, all he needed was a placebo from a witch doctor. Me, in my savage regalia. Just let me get this thing with the glass in it off my nose, and these button things opened up a bit, and we can get on with that chess game. I hope the next traveler picks somewhere else to land, though—I've never felt so silly in my life!"

What does it feel like when your mind gets stuck on a loop, telling you again and again that you're a bad person? That's the reality of Pure OCD. In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, Kristina Orlova sits down with Sah D'Simone, spiritual teacher, humanitarian, and creator of the Somatic Activated Healing method, for an open and heartfelt conversation.   Sah shares his journey with intrusive thoughts that made him question his worth, how growing up in a Buddhist culture shaped his experience, and how the loss of his mother made everything even more intense. Instead of letting OCD take over, he's leaned into Buddhist wisdom, somatic healing, and service to others as powerful ways to heal.   Together, Kristina and Sah unpack how OCD fuels cycles of self-obsession and why real healing often begins with learning to slow down, relax, and be present. They talk about the role of evidence-based treatments like ERP and ACT, while also highlighting holistic practices that calm the nervous system and nurture recovery.   If you've ever felt trapped by your own thoughts, this conversation offers hope, practical tools, and a fresh perspective on what healing can truly look like.   The 3 things you'll learn in  today's episode: Why relaxation and not constant productivity is crucial for calming an OCD brain. How Pure OCD manifests and why labels can be both freeing and limiting. Practical ways to balance evidence-based OCD treatments with Buddhist-inspired mindfulness and self-compassion.

With 100+ employees and multiple Las Vegas locations, Josh has built beloved food & coffee brands from scratch while also mentoring students and supporting community nonprofits. Lessons & Practical Advice for Aspiring Café Owners: Be endlessly curious. Call the planning, building, and fire departments before you sign anything — learn the build‑out hurdles and code requirements. Mind the capital needs. A proper commercial kitchen hood and grease trap can run $80–100K alone. Save aggressively and protect your credit so you can bring capital to the table. Right‑size your space. Start smaller than you think; lower costs and keep it feeling full. Start small & build presence. Consider a coffee cart/truck or popup to prove your concept and audience before a full‑scale lease. Adapt to your market. Each neighborhood has distinct customer behavior — don't assume what works in one location will in another. Top 3 Takeaways: Niche + Experience = Differentiation: Pairing underrepresented cuisine with a service model Vegas didn't have created a clear market position. Location choice is strategy, not luck: Cheap rent in an up‑and‑coming area gave room to survive the early years and grow with the neighborhood. Systems before scaling: You can add locations faster than you can add process — but you'll regret it if you do. Connect with Josh Molina: Makers & Finders: makerslv.com

Aug. 11 (12:30 AM PDT) at 4º14' Leo. Mercury began its retrograde period on July 17, 2025, at 15°34' Leo. While communication and travel may start to smooth out now, it's probably a good idea not to let your guard completely down just yet. Mercury also rules merchants and trade, so this can be a day when something shifts in your business or financial matters. Mercury turns direct on the Sabian symbol 5 Leo, Rock formations at the edge of a precipice. [3:51] Saturn sextiles Uranus on Mon. Aug. 11 (8:33 PM PDT) at 1º12' Aries-Gemini. This is the second of three sextiles that Saturn will make to Uranus. The first was back on April 4, 2025, and the final one in the series comes on Jan. 19, 2026. Saturn is a rule maker, Uranus a rule breaker. Uranus presents an opportunity for liberation. [5:52] Venus conjuncts Jupiter on Mon. Aug. 11 (10:30 PM PDT) at 14º03' Cancer. Jupiter is exalted (especially strong) in Cancer, and the Sabian symbol for this degree couldn't be more perfect: 15 Cancer, A group of people who have over eaten and enjoyed it. [7:55] This week, Mercury will make two separate sextile aspects to Mars. The first is on Thu. Aug. 14 (7:05 PM PDT) at 5º05' Leo-Libra. Energetic Mars has your mind working overtime. Watch out for arguments. [10:53] The second Mercury-Mars sextile Mars is on Sunday, Aug. 17 (10:33 PM PDT) at 7º04' Leo-Libra. Mind your words, channel any anger or frustration constructively. These Mercury-Mars sextiles bring sharp, energized, focused communication. [11:58] Moon Report! The Taurus Last Quarter Moon is on Fri. Aug. 15 (10:12 PM PDT) at 23º36' Taurus-Leo. It's the last action point following the Leo New Moon on July 24, 2025. This is a terrific Last Quarter Moon to take concrete steps toward your goals. Take stock, focus on what matters, and use this time to bring something meaningful into reality. [14:10] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC).

[16:22] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. The first VOC Moon period began last week on Sun. Aug. 10 (11:55 PM PDT), when the Moon made a trine to Jupiter and was VOC for 1 day, 3 hours and 38 minutes. It enters Aries this week on Tue. Aug. 12 (3:33 AM PDT). This is an emotionally healing time. Initiate a habit of expressing kindness and nourishment to all, and that includes yourself. [17:33] On Wed. Aug. 13 (3:54 PM PDT), the Moon in Aries trines the Sun. It's VOC for 14 hours, 28 minutes, and enters Taurus on Aug. 14 (6:22 AM PDT). Initiate a habit of practicing gratitude just for being alive on the planet. [18:37] On Fri. Aug. 15 (10:12 PM PDT), the Moon in Taurus squares the Sun. It's VOC for 10 hours and 49 minutes, then enters Gemini on Aug. 16 (9:01 AM PDT). The Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Leo share an appreciation for the finer things in life, but not everyone has millions of dollars to spend on fancy trinkets. Embrace the concept of “quiet luxury”, meaningful but inexpensive indulgences. [20:40] Listener Catherine asks about the Midheaven in the Whole Sign House system.

If you are an overthinker who often feels anxious and stuck, this episode is for you! You will be encouraged to unlearn the idea that anxiety should be avoided. Instead, you'll be motivated to approach these feelings with curiosity for more ease. To lead this conversation, Kelly is joined by fellow Canadian minimalist, spoken word artist, musician, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher, the incredibly insightful, Humble the Poet, to share insights from his latest book, Unanxious: 50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and More Calm. Humble has been featured in the New York Times, Buzzfeed, Vogue, Rolling Stone, and HuffPost, and his book has earned high praise, including from his friend and leading podcaster Jay Shetty, who writes, “Three pages in, you'll feel 1,000 lbs lighter.” In Unanxious, Humble shares how he once numbed his anxiety, and how getting curious about his triggers helped him let go of unhelpful coping patterns, embrace discomfort, and experience more peace. In this first part of Kelly and Humble's two-part discussion, Humble talks about the 90-day dopamine fast he undertook to reset his nervous system, the benefits of feeling emotions even when they're uncomfortable, and how minimalism can reveal (rather than erase) anxious thoughts, creating space for deeper self-awareness and reduced anxiety. Be inspired to stop avoiding and start embracing discomfort to ease anxiety and live more in alignment with your true self.
