Podcasts about modern life

A lot of people feel like they know who they're supposed to be, how they're supposed to show up, and what they're supposed to value, and they assume those things come from themselves instead of external influences. But we all have internalized beliefs and expectations from others, our culture, and the systems we live in. It takes a beat, sometimes a long one, to get clear on who you actually are and what is actually important to you. It requires building the kind of deep self-trust that allows you to act from your values even when the world is suggesting otherwise.And if you carry relational wounds or other interpersonal or socio-cultural burdens, those experiences can slow down or block your capacity to deepen self-trust, trust in others, grow in courage, and fully inhabit your whole story. That is not a character flaw. It is a developmental reality.My guest today models what becomes possible when you stop performing the version of yourself the world approved of and start trusting yourself and leading from that space. She is building a career and a creative practice rooted in self-trust and values alignment, and she is far from done.MILCK, born Connie K. Lim, is a self-proclaimed gentle rebel whose artistry and advocacy is fueled by her music.

MILCK has collaborated with notable artists such as John Legend, Natasha Bedingfield, Phillipa Soo, Ani DiFranco, Aloe Blacc, and LeAnn Rimes, blending soulful melodies with poignant, socially conscious lyrics. Beyond the recording industry, MILCK is expanding her creative reach into musical theater, advocacy, and mentorship; MILCK and artists Sam Chanse, Jess Mcleod, and AG have partnered with La Jolla Playhouse to develop The Family Album, an award-winning seriocomedy musical.

This episode is a fast, funny conversation about the small modern crises our parents never faced. The hosts riff on password dependence, Google Password Manager anxiety, and the terror of updating software while mid-task. They rant about streaming overload, subscription sticker shock, and ad blockers as survival tools. Tech tangents include Bluetooth pairing nightmares, smartwatches that find your phone, and the way GPS has changed driving. Throughout, the tone stays conversational and irreverent, with recurring jokes about remotes, Kroger chaos, and how the Jetsons predictions are now annoyances.

The gang are all back together at last after our various summer hols, and we're happy to welcome the return of Liam after his absence from our last episode. Naturally, our first order of business is to get him all caught up on what he missed during the mid-year check-in, so we begin with a quick-fire chat that takes in Mina the Hollower, El Paso Elsewhere 2, Denshattack!, Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!, The Mermaid Mask, and – not indie, but unignorable given who we're talking about – Resident Evil Veronica. Then it's onto the main topic of this episode and, unbelievably, despite being co-created and co-hosted by a lifelong obsessive Simmer, it's taken Indieventure almost three years to put together an episode dedicated to the life sim genre. However, the early access launch of Paralives a few weeks back has given Rebecca the excuse she's always needed to go off at length about her excruciatingly detailed knowledge of life sims, how they work, how they're made, and how the genre has developed and adapted to the changing gaming landscape over the past quarter-century. Many thanks to Liam, Rachel, and you, our lovely listeners for indulging this semi-interactive TED talk, and be sure to check out the Sims Community interview quoted in this episode! Naturally you can expect some illegal AAA chat here too as it's more or less impossible to discuss Paralives in context without regularly referring back to The Sims franchise as well as InZoi; but don't worry, we also circle back to perennial Indieventure favourite and underappreciated indie life sim Tiny Life while we're at it. There might even be a Stardew Valley cameo in there somewhere, too. And like a cooling dip in the pool during Britain's third consecutive heatwave, we round off with our latest hyperfixations. One of Rachel's favourite manga series – The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All – is getting an anime adaptation early next year soundtracked by Nirvana, so there's plenty to get excited about there already even if we're six months away from seeing the thing itself. Liam has broken a bit of a dry spell in his gaming enthusiasm by getting very, very invested in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. And Rebecca has achieved her pledge to "sit by a pool and do nothing but read a stack of books for two weeks", having read nine novels on her recent break with a reading list comprised of authors Mie Takase, T Kingfisher, KJ Charles, Becky Chambers, Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone, Owen King, and Chuck Tingle.

We dive into the biological and evolutionary roots of male and female sexuality, including why men are naturally silent during sex, how prolactin causes post-ejaculation sleepiness, and why women have greater orgasmic capacity.

She introduces her six-week program, Fully Charged, designed to help men build sexual stamina, emotional depth, and deeper partner connection.What is Primal Sex?

Hello goddesses! Have you ever wondered what high heels have to do with Feng Shui? For me, they both represent confidence, balance, and stepping into your power with intention. As a Grandmaster of Feng Shui, I've spent years studying ancient wisdom, but I've also learned that true wellness evolves with the way we live today. That's why I created Stiletto Heals—to bring timeless Feng Shui principles into modern life in a way that feels beautiful, practical, and empowering. In this episode, we're talking about how your home can become a partner in your wellness journey through simple rituals, intentional spaces, and everyday moments that support your mind, body, and spirit. Because the art of life is Stiletto Heals, and your home should reflect the powerful goddess you are becoming.

What can our evolutionary past teach us about living healthier, more connected lives today? In this episode, Monica sits down with Andie Edwards, creator of the popular Instagram account Ancestral Habits, to explore how hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution continue to shape our bodies, minds, and relationship with the natural world.Together, they discuss evolutionary mismatch, our biological need for nature, the importance of honoring natural rhythms, and what it means to apply ancestral wisdom in a modern world. They also explore the responsibility of communicating science on social media and Andie's perspective on artificial intelligence. It's a fascinating conversation about using our deep history not to return to the past, but to build a healthier, more aligned future.Show NotesAncestral Habits WebsiteAncestral Habits on Instagram Ancestral Habits on Substack Ancestral Habits at Home (PDF)biophilia, nature connection, human evolution, ancestral health, ancestral habits, anthropology, evolutionary mismatch, evolutionary biology, human behavior, natural rhythms, circadian rhythms, modern life, well-being, mental health, physical health, environmental psychology, science communication, social media, artificial intelligence, AI, biology, evolutionary medicine, ecology, resilience, holistic health, outdoor living, health and wellness, connection, sustainabilityBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

My guest is Dandapani. He became an ordained Hindu monk under the guidance of one of Hinduism's foremost spiritual leaders of our time. For 10 years he lived a life of serious personal discipline and training at his guru's cloistered monastery in Hawaii. Here he learned to control his mind. He learned to focus. And he believes this is the key to finding one's purpose. We would probably all agree that it is easier to focus when you live in a monastery in Hawaii. Dandapani readily agrees. Yet he believed the teachings would work in the outside world as well, and now he's proved it. He left the monastery and moved to New York where he started a business, got married, and became a father. Today he is a highly sought-after international speaker and leading expert on leveraging the human mind and the power of focus to create a life of purpose and joy. I just attended an event in LA with 5,000 attendees and spoke onstage along with Dandapani. I inspire myself to see him remaining centered and at peace, even as he endures the busyness of travel, work, and family like the rest of us. He has a book, The Power of Unwavering Focus. One concept from his message has changed my life. That of the mind being a vast space with many different areas and our awareness is a glowing orb of our focus that can only light up one room at a time. I invite you to settle into this discussion.

This week Vance sat down with Monsignor Shamleffer for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, technology, human dignity, and the challenges facing society in an age of rapid change.They reflect on artificial intelligence, the role of work in human flourishing, and why technological progress must remain focused on serving people rather than replacing them. The conversation explores Catholic and Protestant approaches to faith, the importance of symbolism and tradition, the meaning of suffering and the vocation of the priesthood.Along the way, Monsignor Shamleffer shares insights from decades spent in pastoral ministry and what it means to remain grounded in faith while navigating profound cultural and technological shifts.Monsignor John B. Shamleffer is a prominent Roman Catholic priest and canon lawyer in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. He has served as the long-time pastor at Ste. Genevieve du Bois parish in Warson Woods, MO, and previously led St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish in south St. Louishttps://articulate.ventures/lbchttps://www.legacyinterviews.com/#VanceCrowe #Catholicism #ArtificialIntelligence #FaithAndTechnology #PopeLeoXIV

Over the past 10 months, we've explored each of the Yamas and Niyamas: the ten ethical practices that form the foundation of yoga philosophy. In doing so, we discovered that these ancient teachings have as much to say about modern life as they did thousands of years ago.In this episode, we're bringing it all together.Using Deborah Adele's The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice as our guide, we reflect on the wisdom woven through all ten practices and revisit the lessons that challenged, encouraged, and inspired us the most. While each principle offers a unique pathway to greater freedom and peace, the final niyama of surrender might be the most transformative. What does it mean to stop gripping so tightly to outcomes? How do we trust when life doesn't unfold according to our plans? And why is surrender not a sign of weakness, but perhaps the deepest expression of courage and faith?Whether you've followed this entire series or are joining us for the first time, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that the goal isn't perfection. It's awareness. Its presence. And sometimes, it's having the wisdom to loosen our grip and trust the process.Join us as we conclude our journey through the Yamas and Niyamas and explore how surrender may be the practice that changes everything.

Send us Fan MailToday I'm sitting down with Charlie Baldwin — a breathwork and meditation teacher with the Art of Living Foundation, over 1,000 hours of teaching experience, and a real gift for bringing these practices to people who never thought they'd be interested. He's taught in prisons, firehouses, universities, and retreat centers in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and he has a way of making ancient wisdom feel completely relevant to modern life. I really loved this conversation.Charlie's path began with a book his mom left in his dorm room — Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth — and a breathwork retreat he almost didn't go to when he was considering dropping out of college. Within six weeks of beginning a daily practice, everything shifted: more energy, more confidence, and the overwhelming things in life became manageable. Nine years of teaching later, he is one of the most thoughtful and non-dogmatic voices in this space.What we cover:Charlie's personal origin story — how a book his mom left in his dorm room and a retreat he nearly skipped changed the entire direction of his lifeBreathwork in law enforcement — how Charlie and a fellow Art of Living teacher began offering programs to community leaders in North Carolina, how the police chief had a profound experience, and why this demographic has become so receptive to these practices right nowSky Breath Meditation (Sudarshan Kriya) — the rhythmic breathing practice Charlie has taught for nine years, featured in James Nestor's book Breath, and what makes it different from other breathwork approachesTechnology, overstimulation & Vata imbalance — a rich conversation about how the optimization of social media for endless scrolling has created widespread nervous system dysregulation, and why breathwork is one of the most powerful resets available to usApps vs. in-person learning — where technology genuinely helps people enter a practice, and why certain teachings carry an energetic transmission that cannot be fully replicated by an appWhy wellness habits don't stick — the two things Charlie has seen make the biggest difference: community and the willingness to have faith before proof arrivesThe breath-emotion connection — the simple but profound insight that every emotion has a corresponding rhythm of breath, and that this street runs both ways: we can use the breath to shift our emotional state, not just the other way aroundThe straw breath — Charlie leads us through a beautiful, portable breathwork practice specifically designed for anxiety and overwhelm.

How many of us wondered at some point in our lives: "Should I go to law school?" It's a common question as one approaches college graduation. Students find themselves on that "moving walkway" toward the future: it will go forward, but at which stop should they get off? How can they pick a path on purpose—and not due to momentum? Heights upper school teacher Mark Grannis spent decades practicing law, even co-founding his own DC firm. Knowing many lawyers, one-day lawyers, and would-have-been lawyers in every stage of professional development, he noticed some patterns of discernment that genuinely helped people decide whether the law vocation was for them. This spring, he released Should You Go to Law School? Knowing How to Know, a guide that addresses law in particular and professional/vocational discernment in general. Mr. Grannis encourages people considering any career vocation to take stock of their academic and emotional talents, imagining where those can best be applied for the benefit of others.

For many of us, daily life is defined by a near-constant stream of decisions, from what to buy on Amazon to what to watch on Netflix. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider how we came to see endless selection as a fundamental right. The hosts discuss “The Age of Choice,” a book by the historian Sophia Rosenfeld, which traces how our fixation with the freedom to choose has evolved over the centuries. Today, an abundance of choice in one sphere often masks a lack of choice in others—and, with so much focus on individual rather than collective decision-making, the glut of options can contribute to a profound sense of alienation. “When all you do is choose, choose, choose, what you do is end up by yourself,” Cunningham says. “Putting yourself with people seems to be one of the salves.”This episode originally aired on March 13, 2025. Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Could Anyone Keep Track of This Year's Microtrends?” by Danielle Cohen (The Cut)“The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life,” by Sophia Rosenfeld“The Federalist Papers,” by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay“What Does It Take to Quit Shopping?

Overwhelm has become a way of life for many people. Being overwhelmed will put you into a trance. But not the nice, relaxing kind… Instead, the kind that will shift your nervous system into survival mode, reinforcing stress, negativity and limiting beliefs. That's why overwhelm is so dangerous. In this episode of Ted in Your Head, Certified Hypnotherapist Ted Moreno discusses the trance of modern life: overwhelm. Understanding overwhelm may be one of the most important things you can do for your mental and emotional well-being. Do you feel trapped? Exhausted? Unable to move forward? Unclear? Listen to this episode to understand why, and how you can get some clarity.

This episode explores why modern life is quietly making us less social — and why even tiny moments of connection can dramatically improve happiness, relationships, and confidence. AJ and Johnny sit down with University of Chicago professor Nick Epley to unpack the psychology behind loneliness, introversion myths, social anxiety, communication, and why people consistently underestimate how much others want to connect with them. They also discuss how technology trains us to avoid uncertainty, why your voice matters more than text, and how honesty and asking for help actually strengthen relationships instead of weakening them.

Release the Past: Craig Meriwether on Hypnotherapy, Anxiety, the Subconscious Mind, and Taking Back Control | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Craig Meriwether, a clinical hypnotherapist and subconscious transformation specialist, for a grounded conversation about anxiety, old emotional patterns, test stress, and the role the subconscious mind can play in healing and personal change. Craig shares how his own struggles with depression and anxiety eventually led him into hypnotherapy, and he helps clear up some of the biggest misconceptions around the practice. This is not stage-show hypnosis or mind control. It is a conversation about the patterns people carry, the protective habits the mind can create, and what it can look like to begin changing those instructions from the inside out. Stephanie and Craig also talk about the anxiety many people are living with today, from teenagers navigating social media pressure to adults facing tests, interviews, public speaking, fear of flying, self-sabotage, and feelings of low self-worth. This episode is a helpful starting point for anyone curious about hypnotherapy, the subconscious mind, and the possibility of responding to life with more calm, clarity, and control. In This Episode, Discover Craig's personal journey through depression, anxiety, and personal development Why hypnotherapy became part of his own healing process How today's teenagers face a very different anxiety landscape than previous generations Why social media can make it harder for young people to find quiet, privacy, and relief How test anxiety affects students, adults, professionals, and people taking certification exams Why stress and shallow breathing can interfere with clear thinking during a test What hypnotherapy is, and what it is not Why hypnosis is not mind control or brainwashing How everyday moments of zoning out or daydreaming can resemble a hypnotic state The difference between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind How old emotional patterns can become automatic responses Why the subconscious mind may treat old pain as present danger How hypnotherapy can work with feeling states without searching for false or forced memories Why changing subconscious "instructions" can help people respond differently in the present Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Craig Meriwether: Craig Meriwether: https://craigmeriwether.com/ Release the Past: https://releasethepast.com/ Ace Any Test: https://aceanytest.com/ Connect with Conversations with a Chiropractor: Follow Us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@ConversationswithaChiro Follow Dr. Stephanie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wautierwellness Email for show-related inquiries and sponsorships: drstephaniewautier@yahoo.com Want to be a guest on Conversations with a Chiropractor?

In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I explore a different kind of pep talk: one rooted not in false confidence or forcing yourself forward, but in remembering the strength, luck, resilience, and resourcefulness woven into your body through your ancestral line. Every one of us comes from an unbroken line of people who survived. They lived through hunger, illness, war, uncertainty, difficult births, harsh environments, bad odds, and all manner of human complexity. Not perfectly. Not always elegantly. But well enough for life to continue through them, generation after generation. That legacy lives in you. This episode is an invitation to breathe into the strength of your ancestral inheritance without dismissing the real challenges of modern life. Yes, being human is complicated. Yes, our instincts can sometimes pull us toward choices that are not especially kind to future us. And yes, modern life brings its own forms of stress, decision fatigue, disconnection, and overwhelm. But beneath that, there is also something steady: the deep biological and spiritual truth that you come from people who found a way. We'll explore how to connect with that legacy as a source of grounded encouragement, how to give your brain the "essay assignment" of showing you where you have already been resilient and resourceful, and how to let your ancestors stand behind you as allies in moving forward with more steadiness, discernment, and grace.

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!If you've ever picked up on something heavy about a person or situation — a warning, a sense of dread, a warning dream — and wondered if opening up more might bring forward more messages like this, you'll want to tune in.So many people in the early stages of developing their intuitive gifts notice that the heavy stuff seems to come through loudest. Maybe you sense something is off about someone before you can explain why. Maybe you are having cautionary dreams that leave you feeling stressed in the morning. Maybe every time you try to tune in, one of the first things that comes through is a  warning. It doesn't happen to everyone, but for those that it does happen to, it sometimes stops their development in its tracks for fear that it might end up causing more stress.When you understand why it happens ~ you'll feel a lot of relief.  With some tweaking, you aren't destined to be a doom and gloom, fear-based reader or intuitive.  In this episode, Christina deconstructs what's happening in the background and how to see the full spectrum.***2026 in-person Reiki class dates in Sedona are scheduled!

Have you noticed how the more we're connected by the internet and have all these gadgets, the lonelier we get? The things we thought would bring us together are actually making us more isolated than ever. That is the conversation I had with Dr. Laurie Santos. She is a Yale professor, an expert on happiness, and the woman behind Psychology and the Good Life, the most popular class Yale has ever offered. She also hosts her own hit podcast, The Happiness Lab, focused on the science of feeling good.  In this episode, Dr. Laurie breaks down why English-speaking countries are quietly getting unhappier, why manifesting the reward actually makes you less likely to chase it, and why the expert on gratitude herself doesn't love gratitude journaling. She explains the neuroscience of wanting versus liking, why self-care has quietly become self-indulgence, and the mindset shifts that matter more than any routine, supplement, or practice on the internet. She also gets into why doomscrolling is stealing more from you than your time, the two parts of happiness you actually need both of, and the simple habits the research supports when every trendy protocol around you does not. If you have been doing everything you are supposed to do and still feel off, this episode might confirm something you've known about yourself and your happiness for a long time.  What's Discussed: (01:30) How Dr. Laurie ended up at Yale teaching the most popular class in the school's history. (04:15) Why happiness is a skill you practice, not a personality trait you are born with. (07:40) The two kinds of happiness most people confuse and why you need both. (11:05) Why money past a certain number stops making you any happier. (14:30) The science behind why paraplegics and lottery winners end up at the same happiness baseline. (18:20) Why comparison is the single biggest thief of happiness in modern life. (22:10) Why the silver medalist looks more miserable than the bronze medalist. (26:45) Why non-English speakers are happier according to studies. (31:20) The dopamine trap of social media and why you crave what you don't even like. (35:50) Why your phone is the Nutrasweet of real connection. (40:15) Why boredom is the skill modern kids are losing and why it matters. (44:30) The shock study that reveals how uncomfortable we have become with our own thoughts. (49:10) Why the gratitude expert herself doesn't vibe with gratitude journaling. (52:40) Dr. Laurie's alternative to gratitude that actually sticks. (57:05) Why self-compassion beats self-criticism for every single goal you have. (1:01:30) Why self-care is not a bubble bath and what it actually looks like. (1:06:15) The research that shows manifestation is making you less likely to get what you want. (1:10:40) The WOOP framework and why it is the version of manifesting that actually works. (1:15:20) Why work-life balance is the wrong goal and what to aim for instead. (1:19:45) What Dr. Laurie tells her students to do in just ten minutes a day to feel happier.

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancis. Friends, Thomas Moore is back — and I have to tell you, I have been reading his books since I was 14 years old. Literally took them to the pool every summer. They are beat up and sun-faded and I treasure every single one. Thomas has written over 30 books on soul, beauty, and the art of living — and his newest, The Cure at Walden Pond, is a love letter to Henry David Thoreau and what his life at the pond still has to teach us today. This conversation was everything. In This Episode [00:14] Why Thomas fell in love with Thoreau — and how he discovered he wasn't just a naturalist [06:09] How Thoreau felt lost, built a tiny house by the pond, and found his cure [08:26] Julie opens up about her own season of restlessness — achieving everything and still feeling misaligned [10:42] "Every life needs a broad margin around it" — what Thoreau learned from doing nothing in the mornings [13:06] What Thomas's own days look like — a creative household of a writer, a painter, and a musician [17:32] AI, humanity, and what the Native Americans would have done before going to the moon [29:00] Why Thoreau wasn't a minimalist — the real meaning of simplicity as crystallization of the self [36:19] Following the wind: Thomas entering a monastery at 13, leaving at 26, and always staying available for what's next [38:00] Thomas's personal angel experience — a cement truck, a traffic circle, and what he believes saved him [41:04] Why the Irish confuse birds with angels — and the old monastic story that explains it [48:31] "Inorganic and lumpish" — reading Thoreau's words live and what they mean for us today [52:00] Beauty as soul nourishment — and the painter who said "whenever science makes a new invention, I will paint an angel" Connect with Thomas Moore

Modern life keeps telling our brains that everything is urgent, and Dr. Elisha Goldstein says that is exactly why so many of us feel overwhelmed even when nothing is technically wrong. In this deeply helpful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich talks with Dr. Goldstein, psychologist and author of Tiny Shifts, about techno-stress, the overwhelm loop, why our bodies get stuck in urgency, and how small emotional pivots can actually change the way we move through stress, parenting, relationships, and daily life. From taking one breath and lowering your shoulders to asking better questions, naming what you feel, savoring good moments, and getting outside with your kids even when they resist, this conversation is full of simple practices that feel doable in real life.

When Vance Crowe learned he needed half his thyroid removed, it sparked a deep question: what does it mean when your body's clock gets disrupted? In this candid and wide-ranging conversation, Vance brings on geneticist and light researcher Kate Crosby — someone he talks to almost daily — to explore the science behind the body's hidden timekeepers.They dig into how the thyroid regulates hormones and why losing it might put you on "synthetic time," why vitamin D and magnesium are so tightly linked, how intense exercise can unlock forgotten memories, and the surprising ways your ancestral latitude shapes everything from your seasonal diet to your fertility. The conversation takes unexpected turns into sunlight exposure, skin hardening, the Protestant vs. Catholic divide mapped onto geography, and whether modern life has knocked our biological clocks permanently off course.This is the kind of conversation Vance wants his daughters to hear — honest, curious, and willing to follow ideas wherever they lead.Guest: Kate Crosby is a geneticist and researcher specializing in light biology and light recipes for plant growth and human health.Articulate.Ventures/IBCLegacyInterviews.com

Chris Williams is joined by Mackenzie Eddie for a different kind of CW Pod—less sports, more life.

What if your bloodwork say you're “fine”… but your intuition is telling you something is “off”? In this episode, Sarah is joined by licensed clinical scientist and author of Brains Like Ours: A Smart Girls Guide to Mood, Modern Life, and the Science Behind Mental Health Tyla Bee, who is on a mission to help people better understand their labs, their symptoms, and the powerful connection between intuition and data. After experiencing rough mental health symptoms and discovering a critical vitamin deficiency that changed everything, Tyla transformed her personal journey into a framework for helping others take their health into their own hands. In this conversation, Tyla breaks down why standard lab ranges can miss important imbalances, how chronic stress and nervous system overload show up in your bloodwork, and which key markers are often overlooked in conventional care. You'll learn: Why “normal” lab results don't always mean optimal health The key labs most people aren't getting (but should be) How inflammation, hormones, and stress impact your mental health The connection between intuition and biological data Practical ways to advocate for yourself in a broken healthcare system Meet Tyla: Tyla Bee is a licensed Clinical Scientist, Sunnyside Coach, lifetime card-carrying member of the anxiety club, and the author of Brains Like Ours: A Smart Girl's Guide to Mood, Modern Life, and the Science Behind Mental Health (Redwood Publishing, 2026). With years of experience in hospital laboratories and integrative medicine, Tyla bridges the gap between clinical science and holistic wellness, helping women understand the lab data behind their mood, energy, and hormonal health.

Are you unknowingly losing your edge — not in one dramatic moment, but through a thousand small, quiet compromises? In this episode, we diagnose the 10 forces of modern life that pull us toward what we call "the pool of dysfunction" — and, more importantly, we explore the countermeasures to swim against the current. Discover why drift is the true villain in the pursuit of health, happiness, and hearts on fire.From comfort everywhere and infinite digital distraction to food engineered for addiction and the erosion of awareness, we break down exactly where drift shows up and what to do about it. Learn how Thomas Aquinas's four idols and the concept of entropy frame the battle, why anything under zero compounds just as powerfully as anything above it, and how choosing useful discomfort is the first step back toward intention and action.

In her new book Brains Like Ours: A Smart Girls Guide to Mood, Modern Life and the Science Behind Mental Health author Tyla Bee, a clinical lab scientist, helps women (and the men around them!) understand the the tiny things happening in our blood, pee, and spit that contribute to our wellbeing.
