In this episode of Think Thursday, Molly explores the powerful difference between joy and pleasure, and why understanding this distinction matters for anyone pursuing lasting behavior change — including changing your relationship with alcohol.We often use “joy” and “pleasure” interchangeably, but from a neuroscience lens, they activate different brain pathways and lead to profoundly different emotional outcomes. Pleasure is short-lived, dopamine-driven, and external. Joy, on the other hand, is sustainable, meaning-based, and internally constructed.Molly breaks down the brain science behind each, explaining:Why our reward system is wired for instant gratificationHow dopamine can lead to tolerance (and increased consumption)Why joy isn't just felt — it's built and interpreted by the brain's meaning-making systemShe offers five brain-friendly strategies to create more joy in your life — and how these tools can directly support your alcohol minimalist journey.What You'll LearnThe key neurochemical differences between pleasure and joyWhy pleasure tends to fade quickly (and leave you wanting more)The role of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins in how we feelWhy joy can be cultivated, even in challenging momentsPractical, science-backed ways to bring more joy into your daily lifeJoy-Building Practices:Savoring – Pause and stretch out positive experiencesGratitude – Practice genuine (not performative) thankfulnessConnection – Strengthen relational bonds in simple waysAligned Action – Do one small thing that reflects your valuesNovelty – Try something new to spark curiosity and attentionMentioned in the Episode:The SPARK acronym from Monday's main episodeInsights from the book Aesthetics of Joy by Ingrid Fetell LeeWhy This MattersWhen you're changing your drinking habits, it's not about removing pleasure — it's about building something more lasting and meaningful. Understanding how to create joy gives you a powerful tool to replace the quick fix of alcohol with something far more fulfilling.Ready to practice joy on purpose?

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Gil Blander sits down with Florence Comite, MD, physician-scientist and founder of the Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity. They explore why a one-size-fits-all approach to longevity falls short and how personalized data, from biomarkers to genetics, can spot early signs of disease before symptoms appear.Florence explains her “Nof1” method, which uses deep testing, wearables, and personal history to craft precise health plans. She highlights how sleep, more than exercise or diet, shapes long-term health but remains hard for most people to optimize. Using real-world examples, Florence shows why tracking markers like insulin and hormones matter, and why most people need support to turn health knowledge into action.The conversation covers the limits of standard medical care, the value of knowing your family history, and how even the best routines must adapt over time. Florence urges listeners to get curious about their own data and take steps—however small—toward better health.Guest-at-a-Glance 

Episode Summary:In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores a powerful and often overlooked question: Can you truly celebrate without alcohol? As we wrap up More Sober October and gear up for No Binge November, Molly dives into the neuroscience behind celebration and what it means to detach joy from a drink.Drawing on personal insight and scientific research, she challenges the deeply ingrained belief that alcohol is necessary for joy, milestones, or connection. This episode is a reminder that true celebration comes from meaning—not from what's in your glass.What You'll Learn:Why our culture ties alcohol so tightly to celebrationHow to redefine what celebration really meansThe neuroscience of joy and how your brain creates itPractical strategies for celebrating without relying on alcoholThe importance of identity in alcohol change workSpecial Announcement:Molly introduces her limited-time course Just One More?

We’re celebrating something special on today, Amber’s one-year alcohol-free anniversary!

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores why sometimes not knowing can actually make you calmer, more focused, and more creative. Continuing the theme of counterintuitive brain science, she builds on previous Think Thursday episodes like The Paradox of Freedom, Novelty for Habit Change, and last week's Defensive Pessimism to show how Selective Ignorance helps protect the brain's limited capacity for attention, energy, and emotion.What You'll LearnWhy so many principles of neuroscience and psychology feel counterintuitive at firstHow your brain filters 11 million bits of information every second through the reticular activating systemWhy constant news, emails, and notifications drain your mental energyHow dopamine drives curiosity and why too much novelty burns it outWhat studies show about the benefits of “information fasting” and reduced mental inputPractical ways to practice Selective Ignorance to improve focus and reduce stressKey Quotes“The people who make meaningful change aren't the ones who know the most—they're the ones who filter the best.” — James Clear, Atomic Habits“Sometimes not knowing helps you know yourself better.” — Molly WattsPractical TakeawaysCurate your inputs. Follow fewer, higher-quality sources.Schedule mental quiet. Set “ignorance hours” for digital silence.Replace input with reflection. Journal, walk, or sit in quiet thought.Remember the enough threshold. Progress comes from applying what you already know, not learning more.Studies and Sources MentionedClear, J. (2018).

Aus Burschenschaften dringt wenig nach außen. Sie sind verschworene Männerbünde, die großen Wert auf Diskretion legen. Doch ausgerechnet die Burschenschaft, bei der Walter Rosenkranz Mitglied ist, gewährt uns Einblicke in diese Welt. Und lässt uns sogar dorthin vor, wo blutige Mensuren gefochten werden. Wir treffen den Vorsitzenden der deutschnationalen, schlagenden Verbindung – und erfahren, dass er einst mit Walter Rosenkranz studiert und gefochten hat.

In this episode, Aurelian Craiutu, professor of political science at Indiana University, explores the role of moderation in contemporary politics. His research focuses on French political and social thought and comparative political theory, and he has written and edited more than a dozen books. His work has appeared in leading academic journals including American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, and Political Theory. The conversation centers on his 2023 book Why Not Moderation?: Letters to Young Radicals, which makes the case that moderation is not a passive stance but a powerful and, at times, radical force in turbulent political moments.

This week on Think Thursday, we're exploring an idea that turns conventional wisdom on its head: defensive pessimism. While it may sound like a negative mindset, it's actually a powerful, evidence-based cognitive strategy that helps anxious or overthinking brains perform better, reduce stress, and follow through on goals more effectively.Defensive pessimism isn't about catastrophizing or giving up. It's about anticipating obstacles and using those thoughts to prepare instead of panic. In this episode, you'll learn how this approach taps into the brain's natural tendency to predict outcomes, and how making one critical shift — understanding the difference between prediction and probability — can dramatically improve your results.We'll talk about:What defensive pessimism is and why it worksThe neuroscience of prediction and how it affects your behaviorWhy your brain's “what ifs” might be trying to help youA simple three-step process to start using this strategy todayWhether you're trying to build a new habit, overcome self-doubt, or just want to feel more in control of your daily life, this mindset can help you stop overthinking and start planning with confidence.Want more support?

The Year of the Lager has been predicted for decades, and it is finally coming true. And the timing couldn't be better. Drinking habits continue to shift and younger audiences are increasingly embracing moderation or even alcohol abstinence. The craft beer industry finds itself at a crossroads. After decades of solid and sometimes explosive growth, craft beer faces both a challenge and an opportunity. Lager, with its approachable strength and depth of flavor, is uniquely positioned to thrive in this environment. And while craft lager comprises a small fraction of the beer market, it has never been more popular or relevant. Today we're going to explore how to reframe and sell lager for audiences who value balance, flavor, and authenticity, in a moment when many aren't reaching for a pint.For more Drink Beer, Think Beer check out All About Beer.SponsorsDogfish Head Craft BreweryCalling all hop heads!

In this collaboration episode of Poducer with NSW, we sit down with Detroit-based producer DÊTRE (pronounced “Detra”) an artist whose path runs from guitars and rap vocals to intricate bass design, blending grit, groove, and raw self-expression. He grows weed by day (as an irrigation manager) to building bass-heavy tracks rooted in emotion and precision, DÊTRE opens up about his creative evolution, mental health, and the balance between passion and stability. We explore the meaning behind his name, how Vital and additive distortion shaped his sound, and why he sometimes records his own vocal hooks instead of relying on samples. We dive into Detroit's warehouse scene, Movement Festival, and the “homie fest” culture that keeps underground music alive. Along the way, DÊTRE shares unfiltered thoughts on panic attacks, moderation, and staying grounded while navigating the modern music industry from corporate festivals to small, community-built events.

The ALL ME® Podcast Understanding the Complex Causes of Eating Disorders – Dr. Jason Nagata In this episode of the ALL ME Podcast, host Don Hooton speaks with Dr. Jason Nagata, a leading expert on eating disorders. They discuss the history and evolution of eating disorders, the various types including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder, and the growing concern of muscle dysmorphia among young men. Dr. Nagata emphasizes the complex causes of eating disorders, including genetic, societal, and peer influences, and highlights the significant role social media plays in shaping body image perceptions among adolescents. The conversation aims to raise awareness about the often-overlooked issue of eating disorders in boys and men, and the importance of addressing these challenges in today's society. In this conversation, Don Hooton and Dr. Jason Nagata discuss the complexities of eating disorders, including how to recognize warning signs, the importance of support and resources for parents, and the differences in how eating disorders manifest in different genders. They also debunk common myths, explore treatment options, and address societal pressures that contribute to these issues. The conversation emphasizes the need for compassion, understanding, and moderation in discussions about body image and health. If you or someone you know would like to get help with an eating disorder please contact the National Eating Disorders Association. Takeaways Eating disorders have been described for hundreds of years. Cultural context and societal pressures have changed over time. Anorexia nervosa is the most well-known eating disorder. Binge eating disorder is actually the most common eating disorder. Muscle dysmorphia is a growing concern among young men. Genetics, societal influences, and peer pressure contribute to eating disorders. Social media creates pressure to produce idealized body images. Misinformation about body image and health is rampant on social media. Parents' comments about weight can influence children's body image. Adolescents are at the highest risk for developing eating disorders. There is a spectrum of body dissatisfaction leading to eating disorders. Warning signs include obsession with food, weight, and exercise. Eating disorders can affect individuals of all genders and backgrounds. Binge eating disorder is the most common eating disorder. Moderation in eating and exercise is crucial for health. Parents should model healthy behaviors for their children. Open communication is key to addressing body image issues. Social media amplifies body image pressures globally. Professional help is essential for treating eating disorders. Caution is needed in discussing appearance to avoid triggering issues.   Chapters 00:00  Introduction to Eating Disorders and Their Impact 08:26  Understanding the History and Types of Eating Disorders 14:26  Causes and Influences of Eating Disorders 17:06  The Role of Social Media in Body Image and Eating Disorders 23:54  Recognizing Warning Signs of Eating Disorders 28:13  Navigating Support and Resources for Parents 30:26  Gender Differences in Eating Disorders 32:29  Debunking Myths Surrounding Eating Disorders 34:34  Understanding Treatment and Support Systems 37:57  Societal Pressures and Their Impact on Eating Disorders 40:40  Global Perspectives on Eating Disorders 42:53  Advice for Parents and Caregivers   Follow Us: Twitter: @theTHF Instagram: @theTHF Facebook: Taylor Hooton Foundation #ALLMEPEDFREE Contact Us:  Twitter: @theTHF Instagram: @theTHF Facebook: Taylor Hooton Foundation #ALLMEPEDFREE Email:  Phone: 214-449-1990 ALL ME Assembly Programs:

Is moderation your strategy—or your excuse?In this episode of Vedge Your Best, Michele unpacks the sneaky ways “moderation” shows up in our lives—not as a well-thought-out plan, but as a default response when we don't want to commit.You'll learn:Why moderation isn't a value—it's a strategy.How default moderation leads to decision fatigue and moral licensing.The difference between spontaneous flexibility and intentional, values-based boundaries.Tools to design your own moderation rules (including the “More or Less” framework).How to apply behavioral science and coaching tools from Dan Ariely and Britt Frank to your plant-based goals (or any life goal).This episode is especially for anyone who describes themselves as “mostly vegan,” “trying to eat better,” or “aiming for balance”—but suspects that their version of moderation might be keeping them stuck.Vedge Your Best Challenge: Pick one area where you've been practicing vague, rearview-mirror moderation—and make a real decision. Define it. Write it down. Set a review date. That's it.Because you don't have to be perfect to be powerful.Subscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

In this week's episode, Molly dives deeper into the More Sober October theme: Who are you without the drink? If you've ever felt like you're at war with yourself when it comes to drinking decisions, you're not imagining it. Molly unpacks the neuroscience behind this inner conflict and introduces listeners to the concept of our two selves—the automatic self and the intentional self.Referencing Daniel Kahneman's book Thinking, Fast and Slow, Molly breaks down how System 1 (your fast, emotional, habitual brain) and System 2 (your slow, rational, goal-focused brain) influence your drinking choices. This science-backed framework explains why your default drinking habits feel so hard to break and why it's absolutely possible to rewire your brain to make intentional, value-aligned decisions.Whether you're navigating more alcohol-free days this October or simply trying to understand why it's so hard to say no sometimes, this episode offers practical insight and compassionate encouragement.Key Topics CoveredWhy identity and habit formation go hand-in-hand with your drinking storyThe difference between your default (automatic) self and your intentional selfHow Kahneman's System 1 and System 2 thinking applies to alcohol habitsWhy the brain resists effortful thinking and defaults to the familiarHow to start training your intentional self to become your new defaultResources MentionedBook: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel KahnemanJoin More Sober October with Molly: More Sober October InfoLow 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.

In this episode, Brooke Barbier, a public historian with a PhD from Boston College, shares her expertise on Boston's political and social life during the Revolutionary period. She is the founder of Ye Olde Tavern Tours, which offers tours of Boston's historic sites and taverns. The conversation focuses on her 2024 book King Hancock: The Radical Influence of a Moderate Founding Father and how political moderation played a key role in the American Revolution. Recorded the morning after the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the discussion explores how moderation in the past can help us better understand politics today.

Ein Burschenschafter besetzt das zweithöchste Staatsamt in Österreich: Walter Rosenkranz. Wie der politische Aufstieg des FPÖ-Politikers begann – Folge eins unseres Podcasts über die rechten Männerbünde. Deutschnationale Männerbünde, deren Mitglieder Fechtkämpfe austragen: Burschenschaften wirken aus der Zeit gefallen. In Österreich allerdings sind Verbindungsmänner tief in die Politik vorgedrungen. Dutzende Mitglieder schlagender Studentenverbindungen sitzen für die rechtsradikale FPÖ im Parlament. Und seit 2024 ist mit Walter Rosenkranz ein rechter Burschenschafter österreichischer Nationalratspräsident – das zweithöchste Staatsamt. Übernehmen rechte Verbindungsmänner die Macht in Österreich? Wie gefährlich ist ihr Einfluss auf die Politik? »Inside Austria« durchleuchtet in dieser Serie die Netzwerke der Burschenschaften: Ein Team von SPIEGEL und STANDARD zeichnet nach, wie Walter Rosenkranz vom »Fuchs« in einer Burschenschaft zum Nationalratspräsidenten aufstieg. Ein ehemaliger FPÖ-Politiker berichtet über seine Zeit in einer schlagenden Verbindung. Und eine umstrittene Burschenschaft gibt einen Einblick in ihr Verbindungshaus mitten in Wien. Zu Wort kommen außerdem Expertinnen und Autoren, die seit Jahren zum Verbindungsmilieu recherchieren. In Folge eins erzählen wir, wie Walter Rosenkranz als junger Student zur umstrittenen Burschenschaft Libertas kommt. Und wir treffen einen Aussteiger aus einer schlagenden Verbindung.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores why the brain doesn't experience minutes the way the clock does. Our perception of time is not fixed—it stretches and compresses depending on novelty, memory, attention, and emotion. That's why childhood summers feel endless while adulthood years can seem to vanish.Molly unpacks the psychology and neuroscience of time perception, including how prospective and retrospective time work, why novelty sharpens attention and stretches moments, and how emotions like fear, boredom, and joy distort our sense of time. She also shares fascinating phenomena like the “stopped clock illusion” and highlights how mindfulness can expand our sense of presence and create richer memories, making life feel fuller and more meaningful.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The difference between prospective time and retrospective timeWhy childhood feels longer than adulthoodHow novelty, memory, and dopamine influence time perceptionHow emotions like stress, boredom, and joy distort our experience of timeWhy mindfulness slows down prospective time and lengthens retrospective memorySimple practices to stretch brain time and savor everyday momentsKey Quote:“Clock time is rigid—sixty minutes is always sixty minutes. But brain time is elastic.

  We've all heard it: “If you're drinking five nights a week, cut back to three.” It sounds like a reasonable step, but here's the truth—your brain doesn't heal from “just less.” In fact, even small amounts of alcohol keep your reward circuitry, stress hormones, and sleep disrupted. In this episode, I dive into:  How alcohol hijacks dopamine and why cutting back doesn't restore balance The pain-pleasure seesaw (Dr. Anna Lembke's research) and why even one drink tips it  Why your stress, sleep, and mental clarity don't truly improve until abstinence  The powerful stats that prove there's no safe level of drinking A reframe: how choosing alcohol-free is not deprivation but the gateway to freedom I also talk about the word abstinence—why it can feel heavy, clinical, or judgment-laden, and how we might meet it with curiosity instead of resistance.  Whether you're exploring your own alcohol-free path or supporting others, this episode gives you the science and the inspiration to see why “just one less” keeps us stuck.

What's the Real Cost of That Evening Glass of Wine? A Sobriety Journey with Kate VitelaKate Vitela, a registered nurse, shares her powerful journey from physical alcohol dependence to over seven years of sobriety. Her story isn't defined by a dramatic rock-bottom moment but by a gradual awakening to how daily drinking eroded her sleep, career, and relationships. Now, Kate offers a hopeful perspective on recovery through neuroplasticity—the brain's incredible ability to rewire itself and form new neural pathways. “Our brains can reorganize,” she says. “We can completely transform as human beings.” This challenges the outdated notion that addiction is a lifelong disease requiring constant management.In this candid conversation, we dive into what that evening glass of wine means for midlife women. For many, it's more than a drink—it's a rebellious act of self-care, a boundary between meeting others' needs and claiming a moment for themselves. But Kate reveals the hidden costs: even one drink disrupts REM sleep, circadian rhythm, and hormones, far beyond just calories. Host, Michele Folan, shares a personal experiment, contrasting a sleep score of 62 after bourbon with 91-94 on alcohol-free nights.Kate doesn't judge moderation but offers a bold reframe: “Alcohol is ethanol—a poison. Moderation is just microdosing poison.” She argues that midlife is the perfect time to rethink your relationship with alcohol. With greater motivation and a clearer sense of what doesn't work, midlife women are uniquely positioned to embrace change.Whether you're sober-curious, exploring moderation, or questioning alcohol's role in your life, this episode invites you to uncover what drinking is truly costing you—and what freedom could look like. Through her work with women, Kate shows that true empowerment comes from self-care practices that nourish without requiring recovery.Listen now to discover how to reclaim your power, improve your sleep, and embrace a life free from alcohol's grip.You can find Kate Vitela at https://www.instagram.com/rewiredsober/Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rewired-sober/id1781739552 or wherever you listen_________________________________________

Christian Sievers kennt ihr aus dem „heute journal“. Zunächst studierte er Jura und ging anschließend mit einem Stipendium für ein Jahr in die USA, um dort das Fernsehgeschäft kennenzulernen. Danach wurde er Moderator und Redakteur beim ZDF, zuerst für das Morgenmagazin. Anschließend leitete er mehrere Jahre das Auslandsstudio in Tel Aviv. Später präsentierte er die heute-Sendung und ist inzwischen als Hauptmoderator im „heute journal“ tätig. Als Reporter berichtete er aus Israel, dem Kosovo, Bosnien sowie über die Terroranschläge vom 11. September und die Tsunami-Katastrophe 2006 in Südostasien. Gerade bei der Moderation des Journals pflegt er einen möglichst lockeren Ton – und ist deshalb sehr beliebt. Wir sprechen über einige der dramatischen Momente, die Christian vor Ort miterlebt hat. Es versteht sich also von selbst: Dieses Gespräch wird sowohl amüsant als auch berührend. Ihr werdet nach diesem Gespräch einen kleinen, aber sehr guten Eindruck davon haben, was es bedeutet, als Reporter an vorderster Front in Krisengebieten zu berichten – welche Schwierigkeiten es gibt, wie gefährlich es ist und wie vor Ort gearbeitet wird. Und was wird eigentlich besprochen, wenn die Mikrofone am Ende des „heute journal“s schon ausgeschaltet sind und die beiden Moderatoren und Moderatorinnen direkt anfangen, miteinander zu plaudern?

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores how deeply alcohol can become tied to our identity. Phrases like “wine mom,” “party girl,” or “craft beer enthusiast” may sound harmless, but they often reinforce the idea that drinking is part of who we are rather than something we do. Molly explains how self-schemas shape our beliefs, why identity disruption can feel unsettling when you change your drinking, and how to navigate the friction that comes with rewriting your personal story.You will learn about the psychology behind identity labels, the concept of status quo bias, and four evidence-based tools to help you separate fact from story, soothe the discomfort of change, and begin building a future identity that reflects your values.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why cultural labels around drinking can feel like part of your personalityHow self-schemas and alcohol expectancies reinforce drinking habitsWhy change can feel like loss and how to view it as growthThe role of status quo bias in resisting identity changeFour practical strategies to shift your identity and reclaim who you are without alcoholResources Mentioned:Studies on alcohol-related self-concept in Addictive Behaviors and the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs2015 article on identity disruption in the Journal of Substance Use and MisuseSunnyside app (recommended tool for tracking and building new drinking habits)Want to sign up for More Sober October?  Click here.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 Think Thursday episode, Molly explores ADHD through the lens of the brain's energy economy. Drawing from personal experience and neuroscience, she explains why ADHD brains spend fuel differently than neurotypical brains, why tasks can feel either draining or energizing, and how understanding this difference can replace frustration with compassion.Listeners will learn how differences in dopamine and norepinephrine signaling impact executive function and reward systems, why ADHD increases vulnerability to addiction, and which practical strategies can help conserve and redirect energy for greater clarity and peace.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The difference between neurotypical and neurodivergent brainsWhy the brain is such an energy hog, and how ADHD changes the budgetHow dopamine and norepinephrine signaling affect motivation and regulation in ADHDWhy people with ADHD are more vulnerable to alcohol addictionSix practical strategies for conserving and redirecting ADHD brain energyKey Quote“ADHD isn't laziness or lack of willpower.

On a special edition of the Haaretz Podcast – as Israel faces the Jewish High Holidays mired in war and political division, host Allison Kaplan Sommer speaks to Prof. Adam Ferziger about soul-searching and atonement with a focus on the Orthodox Jewish community in Israel and the Diaspora. Ferziger, who is also an ordained rabbi, believes the process of observing Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur “is all about humility.” “Rosh Hashanah comes before Yom Kippur, because in order to be able to go before God and do some sort of atonement, I have to first acknowledge my place in the world,” he said. Following October 7 and over the past two years of war, “so many of the players involved, unfortunately, feel that they know all the right answers, and there is a real lack of humility on many sides.” Faith and belief in God, he said, should not “be a cause for saying ‘I am more powerful and better, and I know the truth more than you do.’” In his new book, "Agents of Change: American Jews and the Transformation of Israeli Judaism," the Bar-Ilan University professor chronicles the rise of what he calls “moderate Orthodox Judaism” in Israel, the pioneering immigrant Diaspora Jews behind a more liberal and tolerant religious outlook – even as, politically, their presence in Israel strengthened the right and the settler movement. “Many are right-wing by most standards when it comes to politics, but that does not necessarily go along with their attitude towards Jews who differ from them, or on sexual identity, or the role of women in leadership – and many other subjects.” While it can be “very hard to pull those things apart,” Ferziger sees this dichotomy as an opportunity for “conversation between people in Israel who are moderate in a lot of areas and the broader community in America,” even when there are deep political disagreements.

Can herbs really make you healthy? My answer is yes… and no.In this video, I explore why herbs alone are not enough to create true health and why I believe our herbal community needs a stronger emphasis on exercise, exertion, and physical discipline. I say this not with judgment or anger, but out of deep concern for how we as herbalists model wellness.Together, we'll look at the role of herbs like adaptogens, nervines, and anti-inflammatories, and how they support the body — but also why herbs can't replace movement, moderation, and nutrition. Historically, health care always included exercise and bodily care as foundational practices, and I believe we need to bring that wisdom forward.

Once upon a time, there were autistic, ADHD, and anxious students who wanted a reputation for being smart, but weren't sure how to get it. Some students said and did things that they thought made them seem smart, but really made them seem annoying. Other students were too anxious to say or do much of anything, so it was difficult for them to have a reputation for being anything other than shy. And then there were students who didn't really think about their reputation at all, but were unintentionally sabotaging it anyways. I created this lesson for all of these students. In this lesson, students learn how to identify the things that actually cause people to create a reputation for being smart, and how we can do them in moderation. And we practice self-awareness by discussing where we feel like we fall on the Reputation in Moderation scale.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores one of neuroscience's greatest mysteries: consciousness. At the center of this discussion is the thalamus, a small walnut-sized structure in the brain that scientists now believe plays a vital role in generating conscious experience.Long considered just a relay station for sensory signals, new research highlighted in an August 29, 2025 Popular Mechanics article suggests the thalamus acts as the brain's “switchboard,” determining which sensory information reaches awareness and which fades into the background. Molly explains how silence, rest, and focused attention support this system, and why the thalamus may be a key to understanding what it means to be aware.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the thalamus is more than a relay—it may be the brain's switchboard for consciousnessHow the thalamocortical loop coordinates awarenessWhat happens to consciousness when thalamic activity is disrupted (anesthesia, coma, psychedelics)How silence and rest reduce the thalamus's workload and improve clarity and presenceFour practical ways to support the networks that depend on the thalamusKey Quote“When you pause, when you rest, when you seek silence, you are not just taking a break.

I'd been a daily drinker for over a decade when somehow, I found the motivation to stay sober for an entire weekend. It was actually easy and felt so good that I took the whole next week off. And I remember feeling giddy, like, OMG, It's over. Apparently, I don't have to worry about that anymore! Sadly, habits don't just disappear overnight. I was soon back to drinking every day, wondering why I couldn't just snap my fingers and go back to being that version of myself who wasn't obsessed with alcohol. What happened to the willpower I had found that week and why couldn't I get it back? In today's episode, we're going to talk about the hidden habit that keeps you stuck in a cycle of overdrinking. I'll explain what actually causes alcohol use disorder—and why staying sober doesn't fix it. This isn't about willpower, or how much or how often you drink. It's how you respond to yourself when you make a mistake. Inside this episode, you'll learn: Why beating yourself up after a “bad night” locks the pattern in deeper How to retrain your brain to treat your hangovers with compassion instead of shame And what happens when you set realistic expectations and learn how to fail forward. This episode will give you a foundational perspective shift so you can finally make sense of why trying to rely on willpower doesn't work—and what actually does.   Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober.

Today we have Ty. She is 76 years old, lives in Bozeman, MT and she took her last drink on March 8th, 2008.   This episode brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Café RE – THE social app for sober people.   [04:21] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul tells us that every time he goes into a retreat or event with RE, he asks the universe to send us a (safe) wildlife encounter. This past retreat in Bozeman was no different.  This time, it showed up in the form of a bald eagle while we were spending time at the lake pavilion. After it flew in, it perched on a lone pine tree branch about 50 yards away from us where we admired it's beauty and Ty, an avid birder, shared some facts about the bald eagle with the group.     Paul shared that while editing the interview he did with Ty, he noticed some background noise. Normally, he does his best to avoid this, but this time he welcomed it. You will hear in the background the sound of birds. He says it was if the universe sent the birds to support Ty.   [08:45] Paul introduces Ty:   Ty lives in Bozeman, MT with her husband Dan. She likes to hike (gently), watch birds and enjoys reading. She is technically retired but has been editing the RE podcast since episode 25.   Ty grew up with an alcoholic father in Fort Worth, TX. Her mother did not allow alcohol in the house, so her father was gone a lot. Ty didn't drink much during high school due to the fear of her mother detecting it on her.   After she graduated, Ty got married to her boyfriend. That marriage didn't last long because her husband was an alcoholic and became abusive. They divorced when she was 21. During that time Ty would go out with friends she worked with where they would drink together. She says her rebellion against her father came out in that time – it was the early 70's filled with drugs and rock and roll.   Ty said she spiraled shortly after her dad died and went through a dark time. She sought help from the county health board and after they placed her on mood stabilizers, she started drinking less.   At age 26, Ty went to university where she chose doing well in school over drinking and partying. A month after graduating college, Ty had a baby. Her daughter had a lot of health and developmental issues, so she became a full-time caregiver for her throughout her 30s.   In her 40s, Ty met her current husband Dan, who does not drink. They moved to Bar Harbor, where Ty worked in the restaurant industry. This exposed her to fine wine, which she would enjoy at home after work, while her husband was sleeping. Ty says red flags began to show when she switched to vodka because it has less calories. She began to hide her bottles and drink in secret.   Moderation for Ty was when she would quit drinking for Lent. One year she found that she wasn't able to which got her thinking more about her drinking. She was attending Al-Anon meetings but was interested in the literature for AA. After taking some quizzes to determine if she was an alcoholic, she started to believe she might be.   The next morning while in church, Ty says she prayed: “I can't do this will you help me”. That evening she went to her first AA meeting where she introduced herself as an alcoholic. It was the first time she had said it to herself or anyone else.   Ty says she burned the ships early on. Honesty and openness became very important to her. She knew she had to do the work and became comfortable asking her husband for support in various ways. AA has been a big part of Ty's recovery story since the beginning. She has witnessed a lot of growth and change in the recovery world since quitting. Joining RE opened up so much for her and she says her toolbox expanded in terms of resources and learning different things.   Ty's parting piece of guidance: it's harder to get sober than it is to stay sober.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores the growing field of environmental neuroscience and what new research is uncovering about microplastics and brain health. Microplastics are everywhere—from oceans and soil to food and even the air we breathe. While they have long been recognized as an environmental issue, scientists are now finding evidence that they may also influence how the brain functions and ages.Molly explains how microplastics can interact with the brain through inflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted signaling. She shares a striking new study linking microplastic exposure in genetically vulnerable mice to Alzheimer's-like changes, and she unpacks what this might mean for humans. Alongside the science, Molly offers practical strategies to reduce exposure and emphasizes that protecting your brain is about progress, not perfection.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat microplastics are and how they enter our bodiesWhy researchers are concerned about their effects on the brainThe role of neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted signaling in everyday symptoms like brain fog and mood changesHow environmental exposures may interact with genetic risk factors for dementiaSeven practical steps you can take to reduce microplastic exposure in daily lifeKey Quote“Protecting your brain is never about one big thing. It is about many small things working together. Alcohol, sleep, stress, nutrition, and yes, even the environment, are all parts of the same ecosystem.”Resources and ReferencesWashington Post (Sept 2025): Study links microplastics to Alzheimer's-like symptoms in miceWorld Health Organization reports on microplastic exposureResearch on APOE4 and microplastic interactions in mouse modelsPrevious Think Thursday episodes: World Brain Day—5 Habits to Keep Your Brain SHARP, Chronic Stress and Your Memory ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly explores two common behaviors that often fly under the radar but can quietly reinforce problematic patterns with alcohol: drinking alone and drinking secrecy.These habits are not diagnoses of alcohol use disorder, but research shows they are correlated with higher risk, especially when alcohol becomes the go-to coping strategy for stress, boredom, or loneliness. Molly explains what these patterns can look like, what the science actually says, and how to notice if they are showing up in your own life.You will learn:Why drinking alone is not automatically a problem, but can become risky when it is habitual or emotionally drivenHow drinking secrecy shows up, from subtle minimizing to not being truthful with yourself about how much you are drinkingWhat studies tell us about the link between these behaviors and alcohol use disorderWhy living alone creates unique challenges when it comes to alcohol habitsSix practical, science-based strategies for disrupting automatic patterns and building awarenessA free self-check tool from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) that can help you reflect honestly on your drinkingIf you have ever wondered whether drinking alone or minimizing your drinking is impacting your relationship with alcohol, this episode offers clarity and compassion along with practical steps you can take right away.Resources mentioned in this episode:NIAAA Self-Assessment Tool: Rethinking DrinkingThe PB and J strategy The Alcohol Minimalist Facebook GroupLow 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 ★
