In this Wellness Wednesday conversation, Beth Gustin, Robin Ennis, and Jeff Thompson slow things down to ask a deceptively simple question: what does "I'm fine" really mean? From aging and identity shifts to vision loss, assisted living, and feeling quietly pushed to the sidelines, the group digs into the unspoken grief that can come with life transitions. They talk about how losing roles, routines, and independence can chip away at a person's sense of purpose—and how often those feelings stay hidden behind polite responses. With warmth and honesty, they explore inclusion, belonging, and the deep human need to be seen, heard, and asked for our thoughts. The episode is a gentle call to listen beyond the surface, to make space for real answers, and to reach out—especially to older adults—before stories, wisdom, and connection fade into silence.

In this talk, Sarah Iskander, PharmD, MS, LPC-A, NCC, explores how the power of our thoughts significantly impacts our relationships with our partners. Sarah begins by explaining the cognitive triangle from cognitive behavioral therapy, showing how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, shaping marital interactions.

Sarah discusses the importance of self-soothing during conflict and encourages replacing negative thoughts with balanced ones to nurture empathy and patience. Drawing on Christian teachings, she highlights how choosing gentleness and self-denial, modeled by Christ, can transform marriages despite struggles. Sarah also emphasizes the role of prayer and spiritual growth in guiding thoughts toward love and unity.

In today's episode, I'm excited to introduce you to Tobin Richardson, the founder of a platform called Save the Therapist. When I first learned about what Tobin is building, I knew this was something many of you would want to hear about. Continuing education is a requirement for all of us, but let's be honest. It can be expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes hard to fit into an already full schedule. Tobin saw that problem firsthand and decided to do something about it. He created a platform that offers high-quality, accredited continuing education for therapists that is completely free. In this conversation, Tobin shares his background in counselor education, what led him to start Save the Therapist, and how the platform works. We talk about why the podcast format is such a powerful way to learn, how therapists can earn CE credits without added financial pressure, and why accessibility in education matters now more than ever. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the cost or logistics of earning CE credits, or if you're simply looking for a more practical and user-friendly way to keep learning as a clinician, I think you'll really enjoy this episode.

In this episode of Wellness Wednesday, Beth Gustin, Robin Ennis, and Jeff Thompson reflect on the everyday interactions we share with strangers—Uber and Lyft drivers, bus drivers, and people we meet briefly along our paths. Do we engage, or do we shut the moment down? Do we end the exchange with a firm period, or leave a softer opening? The conversation explores how even short encounters can unexpectedly resonate, sometimes leaving us wishing we had said thank you or expressed gratitude before parting. While we're often taught not to talk to strangers, this episode thoughtfully examines how brief, mindful conversations can create connection, reflection, and meaning—long after the moment has passed.

In our 12-part podcast series, Pursuit: The Founders' Guide to Happiness, Jeffrey Rosen explores the founders' lives with the historians who know them best and filmmaker Ken Burns shares his daily practice of self-reflection. The “pursuit of happiness” is one of the most famous phrases in American history. When America's founders wrote it in the Declaration of Independence, they intended it to mean happiness through lifelong learning and self-improvement. In the last episode of the series, listeners share some big and small changes that they have made. Plus, Jeffrey Rosen, filmmaker Ken Burns, and scholar Robert P. George explore Benjamin Franklin's virtue of silence, which he defines as “speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.” Listen to Pursuit: The Founders' Guide to Happiness on Apple Podcast and Spotify.
