Tariffs promise protection but unleash deeper shocks - reshaping demand, distorting prices, and testing the resilience of an already-strained economic system. Rob Larity and Jacob unpack the widening gap between political narratives and material reality, probing how erratic policy, volatile markets, and institutional guardrails collide. They ask whether the U.S. is entering a new era of economic fragility, what signals truly matter beneath the noise, and how global outliers like Chile reveal the stakes of navigating a fractured, multipolar world.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction (01:46) - Discussion on San Francisco Fed Paper(05:14) - Historical Context of Tariffs(14:11) - Mechanics and Impact of Tariffs(18:26) - Political and Economic Realities(26:22) - Market Reactions and Volatility(30:03) - Election Aftermath and Voter Priorities(30:59) - Moderation and Economic Focus in Politics(31:58) - Scott Bessent and the Trump Administration(36:43) - US Institutions and Economic Policies(40:37) - Chile's Political Landscape and Economic Potential(48:29) - Global Energy Dynamics and Future Outlook(01:01:08) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts--Referenced in the Show:--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Progressive and centrist Democratic candidates had big wins in the 2025 elections. On this week's On the Media, a data scientist fact-checks the claim that Democrats need moderate voters to win. Plus, an Arizona state senator shares how she's reaching her constituents on TikTok and on the ground.[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with G. Elliot Morris, a journalist, statistician, and author of the data-driven news website Strength in Numbers, to hash out what the data says about whether becoming more moderate is really the key to Democratic candidates winning more elections.[20:09] Brooke chats with Matt Bennett, co-founder of Third Way, a center-left think tank, about his view that Zohran Mamdani's win in New York City poses a “serious political problem” for the Democrats.[36:06] Finally, Brooke calls up Analise Ortiz, state senator for Arizona's 24th district, to discuss how TikTok, old-fashioned door-knocking, and making tangible differences in peoples' lives is the way for the Democrats to start winning again. Further reading:Moderation is not a silver bullet, by G.

In dieser Folge des Podcasts „Kopfsalat“ von Freunde fürs Leben e.V. spricht Moderator Sven Haeusler erneut mit der HateAid-Mitgründerin Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, diesmal über die systematischen Hintergründe digitaler Gewalt. Die Medienexpertin erklärt, wie Algorithmen, Desinformation und die Logiken sozialer Plattformen Hass verstärken, warum rechtsextreme Akteure digitale Angriffe strategisch nutzen und wie KI-gestützte Deepfakes unsere Wahrnehmung zusätzlich verunsichern. Digitale Gewalt ist für HateAid kein Zufall, sondern Teil eines ökonomischen und politischen Systems, das von diesen Entwicklungen profitiert. Gleichzeitig macht Anna-Lena von Hodenberg deutlich, warum sie trotz dieser Entwicklungen zuversichtlich bleibt und wie wir digitale Räume besser geschützt gestalten können. Kurzbeschreibung: Die Organisation HateAid unterstützt Betroffene mit Beratung, Beweissicherung und Prozesskostenhilfe und setzt sich dafür ein, dass Plattformen nicht länger Hass und Desinformation verstärken. Anna-Lena von Hodenberg betont, wie wichtig es ist, Vorfälle ernst zu nehmen, nicht allein zu bleiben und illegale Inhalte zu melden. Auch Außenstehende können helfen, indem sie Betroffenen öffentlich den Rücken stärken. Die sechste Staffel wird gefördert durch die Deutsche DepressionsLiga e.V. und die DAK Gesundheit.

Krokodilleder-Taschen, Nerzmäntel, Figuren aus Elfenbein: In den 90ern waren sie Statussymbole – heute sind sie oft Relikte. Was hat sich im Kampf gegen den internationalen Artenhandel verändert? In dieser Folge tauchen wir tief in die Welt des Artenschutzes ein. Zu Gast ist Dr. Stefan Ziegler, Experte für internationalen Artenschutz und Artenhandel beim WWF Deutschland. Gemeinsam entschlüsseln wir das Washingtoner Artenschutzübereinkommen “CITES” – das wichtigste Instrument im Kampf gegen den illegalen Artenhandel. Was genau ist CITES, wie funktioniert es in der Praxis und welche Arten schützt es? Erfahre, wo die Auswirkungen von CITES im Alltag zu spüren, welche Erfolge das Abkommen in 50 Jahren erzielt hat und wo seine Grenzen liegen. Wir beleuchten die Kritik an den CITES-Konferenzen und blicken auf die Zukunft, um die globale Artenkrise wirksam zu bekämpfen. Moderation & Redaktion: Eileen Wegner

Wenn KI-Agenten plötzlich zu Teamkollegen werden In der aktuellen Episode unserer Reihe zur Zusammenarbeit tauchen Didi und Frank in ein Thema ein, das vielen gerade im Alltag begegnet: KI als Teamkollegin. Oder sagen wir besser: als vermeintliche Teamkollegin. Denn genau an diesem Punkt beginnt die Diskussion – und sie wird überraschend persönlich. Frank bringt nicht nur seine Perspektive aus der Kurswechsler-Welt mit, sondern auch seine Rolle bei der HEC, wo künstliche Intelligenz längst ein zentraler Bestandteil strategischer Entscheidungen ist. Aus dieser Doppelperspektive entsteht ein spannender Blick auf Chancen, Irritationen und Risiken, die KI in der Zusammenarbeit mit sich bringt. Zwischen Faszination und Vorsicht: Warum „Vermenschlichung“ zum Problem werden kann Die Episode startet mit einem Erlebnis, das viele kennen: Man spricht mit einer KI – und sie klingt plötzlich erschreckend menschlich. Man bekommt Lob, Zustimmung, ein freundliches „Gute Frage!“ – und ehe man sich's versieht, fühlt es sich fast an wie ein echtes Gegenüber. Warum das verführerisch ist, aber gleichzeitig zur Falle werden kann, diskutieren die beiden ausführlich. Es geht um Vertrauen, Zuschreibungen, Intentionen – und um die großen Unterschiede zwischen menschlicher und künstlicher Intelligenz, die trotz realistischer Stimmen und schlauer Antworten unbedingt bewusst bleiben müssen. Was KI im Team leisten kann – und was unbedingt beim Menschen bleiben muss Natürlich geht es nicht nur um Risiken. Im Gegenteil: Die beiden sprechen darüber, welche Rollen KI-Agenten tatsächlich sinnvoll übernehmen können – von Routinearbeiten über Analyseunterstützung bis hin zu Aufgaben in der Moderation oder Konfliktbearbeitung, die viele zunächst gar nicht auf dem Schirm haben. Gleichzeitig bleibt eines klar: Entscheidungen, Verantwortung und Kontextverständnis liegen weiterhin – und vermutlich auch in Zukunft – beim Menschen. Welche Kompetenzen Teams deshalb brauchen, um KI wirklich gut und verantwortungsvoll einzusetzen, ist ein weiterer zentraler Punkt der Unterhaltung. Neugierig geworden? Dann hör rein – die Episode bietet viele Denkanstöße, praktische Beispiele und eine lebendige Diskussion darüber, wie Zusammenarbeit mit KI heute schon aussehen kann und welche Fragen wir uns besser frühzeitig stellen.

Zweiwöchentlich beleuchten wir aktuell im wepodit Podcast gängige Mythen aus der Podcast-Bubble. In dieser Episode von „Mythos oder Wahrheit“ geht es um folgende Annahme: "Der Host ist eh vom Fach - der braucht keine Vorbereitung". Klingt plausibel, ist aber schwer zu hinterfragen! Andi und Nora sprechen darüber, warum es so wichtig ist, dass ein Moderator durch das Gespräch führt, Inhalte verständlich macht und den roten Faden hält. Nora ist selbst Podcast-Host und plaudert in der Folge aus ihrem Moderations-Nähkästchen. Sie gibt Tipps, was es für einen guten Auftritt vor dem Podcast-Mikrofon braucht und erklärt, warum gute Vorbereitung die halbe Moderation ist.

Diese Woche muss Jakob leider passen, da er auf einer kurzen Woche ist und am Donnerstag schon wieder spielt. Dafür haben wir Kasim Edebali in the House.

Der smarte Gen Z-Gründer Julian Windeck schafft es aus Bamberg in Franken mitten ins Silicon Valley – und gründet im KI-Boom sein Unternehmen Attention Engineering, das sofort ins Rampenlicht tritt und eine Millionenfinanzierung erhält. Im generationsübergreifenden Gespräch mit Internet-Pionier Wolfgang Macht (Gen X) und Kommunikationsexpertin Tina Kulow (ebenfalls Gen X) lassen wir die Dotcom-Blase Revue passieren und blicken gleichzeitig in die Zukunft. Es geht um die ungebrochene Anziehungskraft des Silicon Valley, um die Kunst, ein starkes Netzwerk aufzubauen, und um Investoren, die heute selbst um Gründerinnen und Gründer buhlen. Wie hat sich Unternehmertum seit den 1990ern verändert? Und welche Lehren lassen sich aus der ersten Internetwelle für die aktuelle KI-Revolution ziehen? Wir danken der wunderbaren Tina Kulow für die tolle Moderation und Julian Windeck für die aufregenden Einblicke ins Silicon Valley und seine Gründer-Erfahrungen. Wir wünschen euch viel Vergnügen beim Hören!

So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

David and Jocelyn recently ventured to Dallas, TX for AffiliateCon, an in person gathering of the best of the best in the world of CrossFit. Here we share the best quotes we scribbled in our notebooks and the takeaways still living in our heads, rent free.Forging Elite Fitness is back in the spotlight and we talk about what that means and why it's so important to CrossFitters, especially the OGs that have been at this for a long time. The CrossFit methodology optimizes human physiology. It's so effective that you would have to actively work against it in order to not see any results. Poor attendance, lack of effort, being uncoachable, daily drinking, crappy diet, lack of sleep, and a sedentary life all undermine your progress. These are roadblocks you could easily pull to stop getting in your own way.01:28 Affiliate Con Experience09:08 Challenges and Mental Toughness16:24 Health Crisis and Societal Issues28:04 CrossFit's Core Values and Community29:22 The Effectiveness of CrossFit Methodology36:19 The Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum47:43 Effort and Moderation in Fitness and Life

Donald Trump ist überzeugt: In Nigeria begehen Islamisten einen Völkermord an Christen. Der US-Präsident droht dem bevölkerungsreichsten Land Afrikas mit einer Intervention. Die offiziellen Statistiken zur Christenverfolgung in Nigeria sind genauso gespalten wie das Land.

In this Think Thursday episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly explores how visual triggers—those subtle, often overlooked cues in your environment—powerfully influence your behavior. Whether it's a bottle on the counter, a glowing screen, or a browser tab, your brain is constantly scanning for shortcuts and responding to what it sees.Drawing on neuroscience and habit psychology, Molly explains why visual input is processed faster than any other sense and how it becomes tightly linked with repetitive behaviors. More importantly, she offers practical strategies to reduce unwanted visual cues and introduce new ones that support the behaviors you want to reinforce.This episode is for anyone curious about how to work with their brain—not against it—to build healthier, more intentional habits.What You'll Learn:Why your brain processes visual information in just 13 millisecondsHow visual cues trigger automatic behaviors—even before you're aware of themWhat “cue reactivity” is and how it affects desireHow dopamine gets released in anticipation of a reward, not afterReal-world examples of visual triggers you might not be noticingTwo powerful strategies for managing your visual environment intentionallyHow visual design can help you create new habits with less frictionPractical Strategies from the Episode:Remove Visual Triggers You Don't WantClear counters, put items in drawers, reduce sensory reminders of unwanted habits“Out of sight, out of mind” is more than a phrase—it's a cognitive toolAdd Visual Cues for Behaviors You Want to ReinforcePlace journals, shoes, or water bottles in visible spots tied to your goalsUse sticky notes or phone screensavers with thought prompts or affirmationsReady to Take the Next Step?Explore Molly's Drink Less Success 30-day self-starter program—grounded in neuroscience and designed to help you rewire your habits through simple, daily actions.

Die deutsche Industrie steckt in einer schweren Krise: Seit 2018 gehen kontinuierlich Arbeitsplätze verloren, inzwischen fallen jeden Montag etwa 10.000 Stellen weg. Viele Unternehmen liebäugeln offen mit dem Abschied aus Deutschland. Sie beklagen einen tödlichen Cocktail aus erdrückender Bürokratie, hohen Energie- und Lohnnebenkosten.Lässt sich der Abwärtstrend stoppen? Darüber diskutieren Claudia Kemfert, Sabine Nallinger und Sepp Müller in dieser Live-Ausgabe des "Klima-Labors": Was bringt ein Industriestrompreis? Ist bezahlbarer grüner Wasserstoff realisierbar oder eine Fantasie? Müssen wir der Industrie zuliebe zum russischen Gas zurückkehren? Muss der Staat bei wichtigen Unternehmen einsteigen? Hilft letztlich doch nur der Kahlschlag beim Klimaschutz?Die Gäste:Claudia Kemfert, Professorin für Energiewirtschaft und Energiepolitik an der Leuphana Universität in Lüneburg und Leiterin der Abteilung Energie, Verkehr, Umwelt am DIW.Sabine Nallinger, Vorständin der Stiftung Klimawirtschaft in Berlin.

Episode Summary:In this timely revisited episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly dives deep into the topic of binge drinking—what it is, how it affects your brain, and most importantly, how to avoid it. In the spirit of No Binge November, Molly reflects on the broader implications of binge behavior across all areas of life, not just alcohol. She challenges long-held assumptions, shares science-backed insights, and offers both mindset shifts and practical tools to help you reduce or eliminate binge episodes.Whether you've ever thought, “I'm not a binge drinker,” or you've struggled with black-and-white thinking like, “Once I start, I can't stop,” this episode provides clarity, context, and encouragement to build a more peaceful, mindful relationship with alcohol.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why binge drinking might look different than you thinkThe scientific definition of binge drinking from the NIHHow higher ABV drinks can quietly turn moderate drinking into binge drinkingThe impact of binge drinking on your brain and behaviorMindset patterns that contribute to binge episodesTools and strategies to help you stay mindful and break the cycleKey Takeaways:Binge drinking isn't just about getting sloppy drunk—it can be more subtle, and many daily drinkers may unknowingly meet the criteria.A typical IPA may pack more alcohol than you realize, impacting your overall intake more than expected.Mindset plays a powerful role—believing "I just can't stop" can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.The goal of being an alcohol minimalist inherently means avoiding binge episodes and embracing calm, controlled drinking habits.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this week's episode, Kacy and Tyler talk about staying on tracking during the holidays. 

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves health without weight loss. Research shows that short high-intensity workouts boost cardiovascular health, and reduce body fat HIIT also increased HDL cholesterol levels, lowered blood pressure, and improved peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) in overweight teens Prediabetics also benefit from HIIT. Analysis shows it outperformed continuous aerobic training by improving insulin sensitivity, glucose processing, and creating more energy-producing mitochondria Moderation is key for safety. An expert recommends limiting high-intensity exercise to 75 minutes weekly and strength training to 40 to 60 minutes weekly to avoid diminishing returns and health risks Effective sessions include a three-minute warmup, six minutes of high-intensity cardio, and combining cardio with strength training twice weekly

In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Coach Mary pulls back the curtain on one of the most dangerous lies in diet culture, the idea that you can “moderate” drug foods when you're addicted to them. If you've been telling yourself you can just have a little sugar, a little junk food, or a little processed snack and still stay in control this episode is going to be a reality check.We're talking about the real definition of addiction, why moderation always fails for food addicts, how ultra processed foods hijack the brain, and why abstinence is the proven path to true food freedom. If you've ever wondered why you can't stop once you start, or why one bite leads to a binge, you'll understand the science AND the psychology after this episode.Food addiction is real. Moderation isn't recovery it's relapse disguised as “balance.”If you want real food freedom, you have to get honest about what your brain can and cannot handle.If you're tired of the binge-restrict cycle, and ready for food sobriety that actually lasts this episode is for you.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner's Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideFood Sobriety Mini Course -https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietymcFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4915319108493196/?ref=share_group_linkDo you need private coaching and intensive daily contact with a coach?

Welcome back to a revisited edition of Think Thursday from the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast. These Thursday episodes are all about understanding your brain, challenging outdated thought patterns, and using neuroscience to support real, lasting change in your relationship with alcohol.This week, we're bringing back one of the foundational Think Thursday conversations: The Privilege of Self-Improvement. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or coming back for a refresh, this episode is especially relevant as we approach the end of the year and the start of the holiday season.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why self-improvement isn't a burden, but a privilege uniquely available to humansThe role of your prefrontal cortex in planning, reflection, and long-term behavior changeHow to shift out of the “start over in January” mindset and build momentum nowWhy changing your drinking habits is an act of personal development, not punishmentThe neuroscience behind why your brain can work for you—or against you—and how to make it your allyWhy This Episode Still Matters:Too often, people think change has to wait until a new year, a clean slate, or a big external motivator. But this episode reminds you that the ability to grow, reflect, and choose new actions is one of the most powerful parts of being human. And that process can start today—right where you are.Key Quote:"The very fact that you're capable of imagining a better version of yourself and taking steps to create it is something to celebrate—not dread."Resources:Read the book: Breaking the Bottle Legacy by Molly WattsFree guide: Alcohol Truths — science-based info to guide your choicesLearn about our core programs: Making Peace with Alcohol, Drink-Less Success, and Proof PositiveNew episodes release every Monday and Thursday.

Zohran Mamdani has won the 2025 New York City mayoral race, with a higher turnout of voters than New York has seen in decades. This despite the fact that New York's senators — Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand — did not back Mamdani, and House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries waited until the day before early voting began to endorse the Democratic nominee.Mamdani's divided party support reflects an intensifying argument over whether Democratic candidates must move closer to the political center  - or further away - in order to win. Brooke speaks with Elliott Morris, a journalist, statistician, and author of the data-driven news website Strength in Numbers, about what the numbers say around moderation and why it might not be the silver bullet Democratic strategists seemed to crave.Further reading:Moderation is not a silver bullet, by Elliott MorrisThe Strategist's Fallacy in American politics, by Elliott Morris  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Instead of obsessing over macros or trying to "stay on track," they share how they're prioritizing training, nutrition, mindset, movement, and habits in a way that supports energy, recovery, and actually having fun. They walk through their rough itinerary, what workouts (if any) they'll be doing, how they think about food while traveling, and why they believe the point of fitness is to enhance life, not restrict it. Whether you're heading on vacation soon or just need a mindset shift around travel and health, this one's packed with takeaways you can use.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly explores how your environment—your physical space, routines, and sensory cues—quietly shapes your drinking habits. From the shape of your glass to the spot you sit in at night, environmental triggers can powerfully reinforce auto-pilot behavior.But here's the key: these external cues are not the full story. They don't create your drinking habit—they support it. Real change comes from understanding why you're drinking in the first place and learning to respond to that emotional need in a new way.If you're ready to interrupt automatic drinking patterns and create more space for intention, this episode offers practical experiments and key mindset shifts to help you get started.What You'll Learn:The science behind “cue-induced behavior” and why your brain responds to drinking cues before you even decide to drinkHow physical environments and sensory cues reinforce habit loopsWhy changing your environment won't change your desire—but can support itFive practical, science-based experiments to reduce drinking triggers and increase awarenessHow to use those experiments as a bridge to deeper internal workThe emotional questions to ask when you interrupt a habit loopWhy lasting change requires more than just tactics—it requires managing your thoughtsExperiments to Try This Week:Swap Your Glass – Use a different shape or style to disrupt routineChange Your Location – Don't drink in your usual “drinking spot”Clear Visual Cues – Remove bottles, tools, and reminders from sightSwap the Soundtrack – Introduce new music or lighting to shift moodCreate a Wind-Down Zone – Design a new space for tea, reading, or journaling and anchor it to relaxation instead of alcoholLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor.

This episode features the core team behind Sora, OpenAI's groundbreaking video generation platform that became the #1 app in the App Store. Bill Peebles (research lead), Rohan Sahai (product lead), and Thomas Dimson (engineering/product lead with Instagram background) discuss the unexpected viral success of Sora's launch, the product journey that led to the breakthrough "cameo" feature (putting yourself in AI-generated videos), and their philosophy of building a creator-first social network that prioritizes human creativity over passive consumption. They reveal the technical milestones in video generation, their small team size (under 50 people total at launch), navigation of content moderation challenges, early monetization strategy, and their ambitious vision for video models as world simulators that could eventually contribute to scientific breakthroughs by 2028. The conversation captures both the tactical product decisions and strategic philosophy that made Sora a cultural phenomenon. (0:00) Intro(1:35) Unexpected Success of ChatGPT and Sora(3:55) Sora as an Independent App(5:38) Sora Prototypes and Evolution(8:07) User Creativity and Surprising Use Cases(14:46) Celebrity Engagement and Rights Management(17:58) Competition and Future of AI Video Models(25:42) Empowering Creators(31:21) The Evolution of Image Generation(33:36) How Do Models Need to Improve?(42:10) Monetization of Sora(45:54) Global Reach and Cultural Impact(48:38) Moderation and Safety Challenges(50:09) Integration with Other OpenAI Products(52:07) How do Models Learn Physics?(55:16) Quickfire With your co-hosts:  @jacobeffron  - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health  @patrickachase - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn  @ericabrescia  - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare)  @jordan_segall  - Partner at Redpoint

Your inner critic: that voice in your head that says, “You're not good enough,” or “You'll never stick with this.” We all have one. But what if there was a way to take back your power—starting with something as simple (and science-backed) as giving it a name?In this episode of Think Thursday from the Alcohol Minimalist, Molly dives into the neuroscience and psychology behind naming your inner critic and how this deceptively small move can have a big impact on your identity, your habits, and your peace of mind.In this episode:Why self-critical thoughts become default neural pathwaysWhat psychology research tells us about the “self-critic sequence”How naming your inner critic creates psychological distance and disrupts habit loopsThe brain science behind identity-based changeWhat to do when your critic shows up (including journaling prompts and self-compassion techniques)You'll also hear how Molly uses the phrase “Old Molly” to talk back to her own inner critic—and how this practice can create space for a new self to emerge.This is your brain's inner dialogue—rewired for growth.Resources Mentioned:Work of Dr. Kristin Neff on self-compassionIdentity-based habits from James ClearPsychology research on emotion naming and self-criticismDialogical Self TheoryYour Think Thursday Challenge:Choose a name for your inner criticSpeak to it with awareness and intentionJournal about the shifts you noticeYou're not trying to silence the voice—you're learning how to lead it.

He'll be on next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (in case you were wondering). 4:05pm- While speaking with the press aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump was once again asked about potentially running for a third presidential term in 2028—responding: “If you read [the Constitution], it's pretty clear.

Peters explains what the movie gets wrong. 4:40pm- NBC10 reporter Lauren Mayk confronted Mikie Sherrill over her outlandish claim that Jack Ciattarelli is responsible for the deaths of “tens of thousands of people”—citing his tangential involvement in marketing for pharmaceutical companies.
