In this week's Think Thursday, Molly builds on last week's conversation about overwhelm and takes it one level deeper—into uncertainty and the brain's fundamental need for coherence.Many people say, “I'm overwhelmed by everything.” But often, what they're describing isn't simply busyness. It's destabilization. The pace of technological change, the relentless news cycle, economic uncertainty, global conflict, and cultural instability create a steady stream of input that the human brain was not designed to process.Our brains evolved for village-level information flow—not constant global exposure in real time.The Brain as a Prediction MachineModern neuroscience describes the brain as a prediction engine. Researchers such as Karl Friston (predictive processing theory) suggest that the brain's primary job is not just to react to reality, but to anticipate it.Your brain is constantly generating internal forecasts about what is likely to happen next. It builds models of what is safe, familiar, and probable. When those models align with experience, the brain operates efficiently. Monitoring decreases. Stress drops. Calm increases.But when prediction fails—when the future feels unstable or unclear—the brain increases vigilance. Cortisol rises. The amygdala becomes more reactive. Monitoring intensifies.Uncertainty is not just emotionally uncomfortable. It is neurologically expensive.Research comparing predictable and unpredictable stressors shows that unpredictable stress can create stronger physiological responses than predictable stress—even when the predictable stressor is objectively worse. The brain often prefers a known negative outcome to an unknown one because predictability allows preparation, and preparation reduces perceived threat.Coherence vs. AmbiguityResearchers such as Travis Proulx and Steven Heine have explored how disruptions in meaning and narrative coherence increase anxiety and motivate the brain to restore order. Coherence stabilizes the nervous system. Ambiguity destabilizes it.When someone says, “I'm overwhelmed by everything,” that word everything represents a collapse of hierarchy and narrative. The brain cannot model everything at once. It cannot prioritize everything simultaneously. So it defaults to alarm.Language plays a powerful role here. Molly revisits her recent quote:“Every time you replace ‘I'm overwhelmed' with ‘I need to decide what matters most and go slow,' your brain stops firing alarm signals and starts organizing information again.”While this shift does not immediately shut down the amygdala, research on cognitive reappraisal by psychologist James Gross shows that reframing increases prefrontal cortex activity and decreases amygdala activation over time. Changing language changes the predictive model the brain uses.Molly also revisits a core Alcohol Minimalist concept: thoughts are both descriptive and prescriptive. Repeating “I'm overwhelmed” reinforces a future expectation. The brain uses repeated thoughts as data. Language influences prediction.Why This Feels Amplified NowThe modern nervous system is metabolizing more information than at any point in human history. Our brains evolved to monitor a small social circle, not global crises, economic forecasts, political unrest, and technological revolutions delivered instantly.When input exceeds the brain's capacity to construct stable models:Uncertainty risesScanning increasesStress increasesCognitive flexibility decreasesThis is not fragility. It is neurobiology.And it has direct implications for behavior change.The brain invests effort when it believes the future is navigable. When the future feels chaotic, it shifts toward short-term safety behaviors—scrolling, avoidance, comfort-seeking, and returning to familiar habits—not because discipline has disappeared, but because predictability feels safer than uncertainty. Coherence builds confidence. Confidence supports effort. Effort sustains behavior change.When coherence drops, consistency often drops with it.Five Ways to Restore CoherenceWhile you cannot eliminate global uncertainty, you can restore local coherence. The brain does not require certainty everywhere. It requires stability somewhere.Here are five actionable steps:Narrow the time horizon.Focus on today or tomorrow rather than the entire month or year. Short predictive loops are easier for the brain to manage.Identify what is controllable.Research shows perceived control reduces amygdala activation. Even one controllable action restores agency.Establish one predictable ritual.A consistent morning routine, defined work block, or nightly wind-down creates stability the brain can model.Limit interpretive overload.Too many possible explanations increase cognitive load. Choose the most useful interpretation instead of entertaining every hypothetical scenario.Build one daily evidence loop.Follow through on one manageable commitment each day. Predictable behavior strengthens the brain's trust in its own forecasting.Each of these steps restores hierarchy. Each reduces prediction error. Each sends a stabilizing signal to the nervous system.You are telling your brain: “The world may be uncertain, but my behavior has structure.”The Bottom LineYour brain does not require absolute certainty in order to function well. It requires enough pattern to feel oriented. Enough structure to reduce constant monitoring. Enough stability to believe its predictions will not be continuously disrupted.You cannot calm the entire world. But you can restore order in your immediate sphere.When coherence returns, clarity follows. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of Retire With Style, Wade and Alex discuss key retirement tax planning strategies, including Roth conversions, effective marginal tax rates, and the role of income tracking in decision-making. They examine long-term capital gains treatment, IRMAA surcharges, and the structural design of retirement accounts. The conversation also highlights the complexity of the tax code, the value of automated tax-mapping tools, and strategic considerations such as using reverse mortgages to manage tax liabilities. Takeaways Expenses do not equate to tax bills in retirement. Roth conversions can help manage tax implications of RMDs. Medicare IRMA surcharges are not affected by Roth conversions. A 12% EMR target is reasonable for most retirees. Monitoring income is crucial for effective tax planning. Long-term capital gains can be harvested at 0% under certain conditions. Simplifying the tax code could alleviate financial planning complexities. Roth conversions do not have a defined break-even age. Effective marginal rates consider more than just income tax brackets. Qualified Longevity Annuity Contracts can defer RMDs.

Cattitude - Cat podcast about cats as pets on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com)
On this special National Cat Health Month episode of Cattitude, host Michelle Fern does something she doesn't usually do — talk about a product. But this one is worth it. Michelle welcomes Jennifer Cookson, Director of R&D Innovation at PrettyLitter, to discuss an innovative “smart” litter designed to help cat parents monitor their cat's health at home. Cats are famously stoic and often hide signs of illness until it becomes serious. Jennifer explains how PrettyLitter's color-changing crystals respond to shifts in urine pH and the presence of blood, helping pet parents track patterns over time and have more informed conversations with their veterinarians. The episode dives into the science behind amorphous silica (and why it's safe), dust control, multi-cat households, odor performance, and why early detection matters more than many cat parents realize. It's not about replacing your vet — it's about empowering cat parents with better insight and peace of mind. Plus: use promo code PETLIFE for 20% off your first order of PrettyLitter!

//The Wire//2300Z February 12, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: LARGE-SCALE WASTEWATER DISASTER CONTINUES IN MARYLAND. NETANYAHU ARRIVES IN D.C. FOR TALKS. HIGH-PROFILE STABBING REPORTED AT HIGH SCHOOL IN LONDON.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-United Kingdom: Social tensions remain high after another high-profile stabbing was reported at a school in London. One assailant (who has not been named due to his age), conducted a stabbing attack at Kingsbury High School in London on Tuesday. Two students were wounded during the attack, and the assailant was detained at the scene.Analyst Comment: Continuing standard practice regarding incidents like this, very few details have been published; it's surprising that the incident has been acknowledged by authorities at all, so we have to take what we can get. Witnesses to the crime state that the attacker was a former student who entered the school to conduct an attack due to a personal grievance with another student.-HomeFront-Maryland/NOVA: Fallout continues from a local sewage spill that took place in Montgomery County last month, which started as a minor infrastructure problem, but has rapidly become a major environmental disaster as the true scale has become known. On January 19th, one of the pipes that comprise the Potomac Interceptor wastewater system ruptured, causing a major leak. As of this morning, this spill officially became the largest wastewater spill in American history, with an estimated 250 million-1 billion gallons of raw sewage flowing directly into the Potomac River.Analyst Comment: Almost three weeks after the leak began, it is still flowing due to the large-scale nature of how to handle wastewater when a 72 inch pipe is taken offline. Emergency pumps have been functioning since January 24th, and additional pumping stations are being set up to re-reroute waste. However, overflows still occur due to weather events and other factors which mean that the leak is only mostly-contained, and not fully contained. Monitoring for E. Coli continues around the clock, and the levels of bacteria throughout the entire river are a few thousand times the standard levels. Repairs to completely stop the leak are expected to be in place within six weeks.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Also in Washington, yesterday Prime Minister Netanyahu arrived for his seventh State visit of President Trump's term. So far the only thing of note to come from the talks is the potential deployment of a second Carrier Strike Group (CSG) to the Middle East, to support strikes in Iran. The decision on this has not been released to the public yet, but timeline-wise if a second aircraft carrier is assessed to be needed for this campaign, it would take at least a couple of weeks to arrive in theater. Concerning airstrikes, any bombing campaign is unlikely to take place until Netanyahu returns home to coordinate the strikes from their home turf. This evening, the talks with President Trump concluded, and Netanyahu is currently flying back to Israel.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

Medicare Basics • Medicare Part A (hospital insurance): Covers short-term, medically necessary skilled nursing facility (SNF) care if you meet specific requirements. Many people assume Medicare will cover a stay in a SNF indefinitely, but coverage is limited and tied strictly to skilled medical needs. • Medicare does not cover long-term or custodial care. • Maximum 100 days per benefit period: o New benefit period: starts when out of any hospital or SNF for 60 consecutive days & then have a new 3+ days hospital stay (resetting the 100-day SNF allotment and the deductible). • Coinsurance pay: Patient pays increasing coinsurance after day 20. • Understanding rules is key to avoiding unexpected bills: for older adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers What Is Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Care? • Short-term, medically necessary care provided in a licensed facility following a hospital stay. • Offers a higher level of care than custodial nursing homes or assisted living communities. • Care must be provided by, or under supervision of, licensed medical professionals such as registered nurses (RNs) or physical therapists. Common reasons someone might need SNF care include: • Recovery after surgery • Rehabilitation following a stroke or serious illness • Wound care or IV therapy • Physical, occupational, or speech therapy • Monitoring and treatment of complex medical conditions • SNF care is designed to help individuals recover and regain function so they can safely return home or to a lower level of care. Medicare Part A may help pay for SNF on short-term basis if: • Qualifying inpatient hospital stay: Inpatient for at least 3 consecutive days, not counting the day of discharge. Time spent in the hospital under “observation status” does not count toward this requirement. • Admission to the SNF shortly after hospital discharge (usually must begin within 30 days of leaving the hospital). • Medical need for skilled care. The care must be medically necessary and require skilled services, such as daily nursing care or rehabilitation therapy that can only be provided by trained professionals. • Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility. Services Medicare A cover in a SNF (generally) includes: • A semi-private room • Meals • Skilled nursing services • Physical, occupational, and speech therapy • Medical supplies and equipment used during care • Qualifying medications related to the SNF stay • Ambulance transportation to the nearest provider of necessary services if other modes of transportation would pose a health risk Medicare A does Not Cover SNF Care when: • Long-term or custodial care, such as help with bathing, dressing, or eating when no skilled medical care is required • Stays not following a qualifying 3-day inpatient hospital admission • Facilities that are not Medicare-certified • Continued SNF care once no longer needs skilled services Cost of SNF Care Cost Under Medicare: • Medicare-covered SNF care is limited to up to 100 days per benefit period, and costs depend on how long a person stays. • Days 1 to 20: Medicare Part A pays the full approved cost. • Days 21 to 100: Part A covers part of the cost. o Patient pays a coinsurance: $217/day in 2026. • Days 100+: Patient pays all the costs of their SNF care. • Medigap (Medicare Supplement) some plans may cover some or all the daily coinsurance for days 21 to 100. Why Understanding SNF Coverage Matters: • Confusion can lead to financial strain and difficult decisions during an already stressful time. • Many people assume Medicare will cover a stay in a skilled nursing facility indefinitely, when in reality, coverage is limited and tied strictly to skilled medical needs.

A new law that took effect Feb. 1st requires a camera to be in place in special education classrooms in all Louisiana public schools. It expands on an existing law that required cameras in special education classrooms, but only if parents requested them. The new law followed an audit that found most special ed classes did not have cameras installed.Safura Syed, a reporter for Verite News, has been covering this story. She joins us today with more.Louisianans are no strangers to poor air quality, particularly for those who live in the state's industrial corridor. Over the last few years, some residents began taking air quality into their own hands, tracking pollution with commercial air sensors. But now, these grassroots air monitoring efforts are under threat. Illan Ireland is a reporter for the Mississippi Free Press who's been covering this story. He joins us with the details. Since 1981, the Spanish Town Mardi Gras parade has rolled through the streets of Baton Rouge.

Bird Building Collision Monitoring: Migratory Bird Conservation Guest Elaine Carlson, Volunteer, Chicago Bird Collision Monitoring Los Angeles, New York and Chicago are the biggest U.S. cities located along major migratory flyways, and the number of birds that die crashing into high-rise buildings is astonishing. These collisions are caused by the reflective and transparent qualities of glass windows that create optical illusions and extend the perceived landscape. Citizen science volunteers have been collecting data to inspire corrective action and inform city planning policy. There are simple solutions that can drastically reduce the likelihood of bird-window collisions. Elaine Carlson is a long-time Chicago resident, having moved to the Windy City after college to pursue a theater dream. Born and raised in the Appalachian foothills of southwestern Pennsylvania, she developed a strong appreciation for wildlife. This affinity for the natural world, combined with her work in education and her (maybe slightly over-developed) sense of team spirit, made her a perfect fit for a volunteer position with Chicago Bird Collision Monitors. For the past nine years - every spring and fall – she has spent her early morning hours walking the city streets and recovering migratory birds that collide with Chicago's downtown buildings. She has responded to hundreds of hotline calls from concerned citizens: running out of the door, net in hand, to scoop up stunned and injured birds from balconies, parking lots and city streets. Elaine has rescued well over 1,000 injured birds and documented over 1,500 fatalities. And, she has met many wonderful, like-minded people along the way. In this episode Elaine shares data, knowledge, and stories to help more people become informed.

What happens when one of the largest centralized property managers in short-term rentals meets a deeply local, franchise-driven model? In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA's Chief Economist Jamie Lane sits down with Steve Schwab, CEO of Casago, to unpack one of the most consequential industry shifts of the past decade: the Vacasa–Casago merger.Steve shares an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how the integration is unfolding — from transitioning thousands of homes and teammates to rethinking how scale, culture, and accountability actually work in hospitality. The conversation goes beyond headlines to explore why local ownership, empowered teams, and owner-centric decision-making may be the antidote to the operational strain that has challenged large STR operators in recent years.Along the way, Jamie and Steve dive into franchise economics, technology complexity, churn as a health metric, and the often-underestimated skill that separates top-tier operators from the rest. Whether you're an independent host, a growing property manager, or an industry professional watching STR evolve in real time, this episode offers a rare perspective on where the business is headed — and what it takes to build something that lasts.This is one conversation that will change how you think about scale, leadership, and success in short-term rentals — you don't want to miss it.Key Takeaways You Can Apply TodayLocal ownership matters more than ever: Empowered, in-market operators create stronger relationships with homeowners, guests, and communities — and reduce churn.Scale isn't just about size: Breaking operations into locally accountable units can avoid the “dis-economies” that plague centralized models.Technology complexity is the silent killer: From PMS integrations to revenue management and accounting, STR operations are far deeper than they appear — especially in year one.Churn is a health check, not just a metric: Monitoring churn at both the market and portfolio level reveals operational and cultural issues early.The best operators know when to say no: Curating the right inventory, homeowners, and guests is often what separates top-performing property managers from underperformers.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

When is active surveillance the right choice for intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients? In this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Claire de la Calle, Assistant Professor of Urology at the University of Washington, joins Dr. Ruchika Talwar to unpack how active surveillance has evolved beyond low-risk disease and why select Grade Group 2 patients may be appropriate candidates now with thoughtful patient selection. --- SYNPOSIS The conversation explores emerging tools that can refine surveillance decisions, including PSA density, MRI findings, genomic classifiers, and the growing role of AI-assisted pathology. Dr. de la Calle emphasizes the importance of nuanced patient counseling, acknowledging anxiety and long-term risk while reinforcing that time on active surveillance can be a meaningful win when oncologic outcomes remain comparable to upfront treatment. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction02:58 - Current Evidence05:03 - Patient Selection Criteria12:11 - Importance of PSA Density and Monitoring Protocols18:12 - Pathology and Genomic Testing32:18 - Future Directions and Research36:33 - Key Takeaways --- RESOURCES ProtecT Trial: Fifteen-Year Outcomes after Monitoring, Surgery, or Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancerhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2214122 Canary PASS Studyhttps://canarypass.org/ Genomic Classifier Performance in Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer: Results From NRG Oncology/RTOG 0126 Randomized Phase 3 Trialhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37137444
In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the exhausting pattern of constantly scanning for safety—checking for signs of rejection, withdrawal, or disconnection—in our relationships, work, and daily life.I share the story of how I internalized this hypervigilance from a loving but emotionally inconsistent parent, and how it shaped my nervous system and sense of safety. This episode is not about blaming—it's about naming the root and finding the path home.If you've ever found yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop, reading too deeply into someone's silence, or feeling numb when life is actually going well... you're not alone. This is survival mode—and there is another way.You'll hear how I've begun softening this pattern through nervous system work, how it shows up in business and relationships, and what it actually means to stop living from the outside in.This is your reminder: you're not too sensitive or broken. You've adapted.

Preeclampsia is one of those pregnancy conditions that gets mentioned often, explained poorly, and frequently dismissed until it suddenly isn't. In this episode, HeHe sits down with Dr. Dallas Reed to pull back the curtain on what preeclampsia actually is, how it shows up, and what expectant parents deserve to understand long before things feel urgent. Together, they break down the basics in a way that's clear and human, including how common preeclampsia really is, what symptoms to take seriously, and how to make sense of blood pressure readings and pregnancy-related hypertension diagnoses. Dr. Reed explains the differences between severe and non-severe preeclampsia, what monitoring can look like before and after 37 weeks, and why postpartum preeclampsia deserves more attention than it often gets. The conversation also explores prevention and management, including lifestyle considerations, aspirin use, and how care plans may differ depending on risk level, gestational age, and whether someone is being monitored inpatient or outpatient. A major focus of the episode is the future of personalized maternal care, including a deep dive into the Encompass test. This new RNA-based blood test, available between 18 and 22 weeks, helps identify pregnancies at higher risk for preeclampsia and pairs that insight with an evidence-based action plan and virtual support. Dr. Reed shares how this type of testing may change the way providers and families approach monitoring, communication, and early intervention, including potential benefits for out-of-hospital birth settings. This episode is grounded, evidence-based, and empowering, offering expectant parents tools, language, and understanding so they can participate confidently in their care rather than feeling blindsided by it.

Consumer Trust in AI Mental Health Monitoring: The Surveillance Paradox in Behavioral Healthcare Host: Megan Antonelli Guest: Andy Flanagan, CEO, Iris Telehealth Nearly half of Americans would accept 24/7 AI monitoring of their facial expressions, voice patterns, and typing behaviors for early mental health intervention, a striking finding that challenges assumptions about privacy in behavioral healthcare. Join host Megan Antonelli and her guest Andy Flanagan, CEO of Iris Telehealth, who discusses groundbreaking consumer research revealing the complex relationship between AI acceptance and human oversight in mental health care. With 73% demanding humans make final emergency decisions, the data exposes a critical gap between consumer readiness, regulatory frameworks, and provider capabilities. Flanagan explores what this means for healthcare technology investment strategies as behavioral health AI moves from pilot to production.

Welcome to our first monthly Q&A episode of Season 7!In today's episode, we discuss why C-sections are sometimes framed as “prevention,” how fear around tearing, fetal monitoring, or cord concerns impacts clinical decision-making, and why breaking the bag of waters is still routine practice despite clear risks and limited benefit. We explain what delayed cord clamping looks like during a cesarean and why vague language like “misplaced cord insertion” can unknowingly lead to unnecessary intervention. Additionally, we talk about nursing while pregnant, early breastfeeding challenges, frozen breastmilk, feeding to sleep, and other common postpartum concerns. Lastly, Barbara Harper joins us to dispel the fear around water birth by explaining the exact physiology of newborn transition under the water. As always, thanks for calling in with your questions.
