Why does your brain feel like it's working against you when you're depressed? In this episode, licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton answers deep viewer questions to unpack what is actively happening in the body and brain during depressive episodes and periods of suicidal ideation. We challenge the traditional "chemical imbalance" framework to look at the modern science of mental health: how different regions of the brain communicate, why your HPA axis can get stuck in a chronic stress response, and the clinical data pointing to systemic inflammation as a primary driver of depressive symptoms. Plus, Kati breaks down the absolute differences between clinical depression, situational sadness, grief, and passive vs. active suicidal thoughts. What We Cover: The DSM-5 Checklist: The 9 diagnostic criteria for Major Depressive Disorder. The Serotonin Myth: Why modern psychiatric research is moving away from looking at single chemical levels. The Inflammation Connection: Active clinical trials utilizing anti-inflammatory pathways to treat mental health. Your Audio Action Plan: How to implement behavioral activation, circadian light exposure protocols, and cognitive tools to stop internal negative loops.

Light runs one clock in your body. Food runs a completely different set of clocks — in our gut, our liver, our metabolism. And when those two signals misalign, we can negatively influence our health. This episode digs into meal timing through the lens of chrononutrition: the real science behind when we eat, what it does to the gut microbiome, and why a late-night dinner isn't just a calorie decision. Plus: what happens to your gut's rhythm after a disrupted week, and my own decades-long, still-imperfect evolution of meal timing and the pitfalls I mostly can now avoid!   LET'S TALK THE WALK!

The Office of Naval Research is rolling out a new science and technology strategy that focuses the service on meeting its own unique needs, not keeping up with commercial tech companies. Chief of Naval Research Rachel Riley says turning inward can stop the Navy from spending money to duplicate the private sector's efforts. It can also make the service better prepared for long-term upgrades to its highly technical military platforms, like submarines. The office also wants closer ties to industry and troops to get new equipment to the field faster.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an aging body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was ... wrong?Many of us have been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. In her revolutionary new book: Tell Me Where it Hurts: The New Science of Pain and How to HealLeading global pain psychologist, pain scientist, and Assistant Clinical Professor at the UCSF School of Medicine, Dr. Rachel Zoffness is completely upending the myths we've been sold about pain.Through cutting edge neuroscience and the incredible work she's done with her patients, Dr. Zoffness is shedding light on the fact is that chronic pain is treatable. And that the foundation for effective treatment happens when we focus on the whole person--not just a body part.It happens when we begin to reconnect physical and emotional pain,And it happens when we begin to uncover the often under-discussed truth: Pain is constructed by the brain--influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations, and environment. In Rachel's words: Pain is always biopsychosocial.And because of this,We have infinitely more control over pain than we might have ever imagined.This insight, and the pioneering work Dr. Zoffness is doing, Are offering what so many of us need in the face of pain: Greater agency, Hope, Possibility, And perhaps most importantly, A roadmap for healing.For more on Dr. Zoffness, her books, events, resources, and other offerings please visit zoffness.comEnjoying the show?

Hi, this is Bill Young from the Prayer and Lunch Podcast. I hope everyone is doing well. It's Father's Day weekend 2026, and after nearly two years away from podcasting, I felt it was time to share some experiences and reflections that have deeply impacted my faith.Two years ago, I traveled to Sicily and visited Mount Etna, the only active volcano in Europe. While there, I witnessed unusual shapes in the steam rising from the volcano. At first, it appeared like a giant bird with its wings spread open, and later like birds flying upward. That experience stayed with me and eventually led me to read A New Science of Heaven by Robert Temple.Temple's book explores plasma science and the idea that plasma makes up most of the universe. Although the book itself is not religious, it raised spiritual questions for me about heaven, the afterlife, and the nature of reality.What especially caught my attention were the mysterious smoke rings observed at Mount Etna in April 2024. These rings appeared from April 2nd through April 9th — the period from Holy Thursday through Easter Monday. Reports spread worldwide as thousands of rings were seen rising from the volcano.As a Catholic, I reflected on these events spiritually. I began wondering whether these rising rings could symbolize souls ascending from purgatory to heaven. Since volcanoes contain fire, smoke, and heat, the imagery reminded me of the Catholic understanding of purgatory as a temporary place of purification before entering heaven.I understand science may explain these events differently. Some say people naturally see patterns or faces in clouds and light. Even my son suggested that some of the images in my photos may have been reflections from the bus windows. That may be true. Still, I cannot deny what I personally experienced and felt.Over the years, I've also had other moments that strengthened my faith. I attended the canonization Mass of Mother Teresa in Rome and witnessed unusual cloud formations that reminded me of rings and crosses. Later, while serving as a Eucharistic minister, I experienced what felt like a wing brushing across my back — a peaceful moment that reminded me of the presence of the Holy Spirit.These experiences do not scientifically prove anything, and I understand many people may disagree with my interpretations. But for me, they serve as reminders that faith, prayer, and the spiritual world are real.I encourage anyone interested in science and spirituality to explore Temple's book and reflect on the relationship between faith and the universe. Whether you agree or not, asking questions and searching for meaning matters.Thank you to everyone who still listens to the Prayer and Lunch Podcast after all these years. Your support means a great deal to me. God bless you all, and have a wonderful day.

For years, investors focused primarily on returns. Today, the conversation has shifted toward risk, survivability and diversification. In this episode of Wealth Architects, Gaurav Doshi, President and Head of Discretionary Fund Management at 360 ONE, explains how sophisticated investors are building portfolios designed to withstand uncertainty rather than simply maximise returns. The conversation explores: • The biggest changes in investor behaviour since COVID • Why risk management has become central to portfolio construction • The growing importance of global diversification • Active vs passive investing in Indian markets • How AI can enhance, but not replace, human judgment

With input costs remaining high and profit margins under pressure, producers are increasingly looking for ways to improve productivity without simply adding more fertilizer, more irrigation, or more crop inputs. In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, host Chrissy Wozniak sits down with Chad Godsey, Chief Agronomist at Green Evolution Technologies, to discuss how growers are evaluating new technologies, why efficiency has become the new benchmark for success, and how innovations at the soil and root level may help unlock future yield gains.Chad brings a unique perspective to the conversation, combining a PhD in Agronomy and Soil Science with a lifetime of farming experience on his family's multi-generational Colorado farm. He shares how his work as a consultant across more than 100,000 acres has shaped his views on technology adoption and why today's farmers are demanding proven, measurable results before investing in new products.The discussion explores how growers are increasingly conducting their own on-farm trials to validate new technologies and why return on investment has become the deciding factor in purchasing decisions. Chad explains that while farmers have been inundated with new products in recent years, many are now focused on technologies that can consistently improve water-use efficiency and nutrient-use efficiency rather than simply promise yield increases.A major focus of the episode is Green Evolution Technologies' InteliGel hydrogel platform. Chad explains how the technology works by absorbing and storing water and nutrients within the soil profile, making them available to crops during periods of stress. He discusses how the hydrogel can be applied using existing farm equipment, reducing barriers to adoption while fitting into current farming practices.The conversation also dives into field trial results from corn and soybean production systems. Chad shares data from third-party research that demonstrated significant yield improvements and profitability gains, particularly during periods of late-season drought stress. He also discusses the potential for multi-year benefits from a single application, an important factor when evaluating long-term return on investment.Listeners will hear Chad's perspective on the challenges facing ag technology companies, including the common mistake of bringing products to market before they have been fully validated across different environments and management systems. He offers practical advice for growers evaluating new products, emphasizing the importance of establishing clear benchmarks and measuring efficiency improvements over time.Whether you're interested in water management, nutrient efficiency, precision agriculture, or the future of crop production, this episode offers valuable insights into how innovative technologies are helping farmers do more with less while maintaining profitability.Learn more about Green Evolution Technologies and InteliGel by visiting https://greenevolutiontechnologies.com, or send Chad an email with your questions to chad@hydrogel.us.Thank you to Chad Godsey for joining us on North American Ag Spotlight and sharing his expertise on the future of agricultural productivity.Send us Fan MailEcorobotix, together with DFS Finance & AgDirect, is making it easier for growers to access the ARA Ultra High Precision Sprayer.

Pure positive thinking sounds harmless, but what if it's the reason you keep failing on the goals you care about most?I'm Angela Shurina, and I'm unpacking a counterintuitive finding from motivation research: when we only fantasize about future success, our bodies can relax as if the win already happened, which makes needed effort less likely. We dig into Gabrielle Oettingen's work on the science of motivation and the practical technique called mental contrasting. You'll learn how to visualize a goal in a way that actually increases follow-through. This approach applies to weight loss, fitness, career growth, exams, interviews, personal finance, and any long-term goal that demands consistency. I also share stories that make the point real, from learning rollerblading through repeated falls to the “cost of getting lean” and the trade-offs behind visible abs. The big takeaway is simple: match the price with the prize, so setbacks stop feeling like surprises and start feeling like part of the plan.If this helps, subscribe, share it with one person who feels stuck, and leave a rating or review so more people can find the show.Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

“Fulfillment doesn't just magically increase. It increases because we've prioritized it.” — Dr. Kerry Burnight  Key Links  CenterWell Fulfillment Index Report is HERE  Dr. Kerry Burnight's book, JoySpan is HERE   Dr. Kerry Burnight's website is HERE  Info about Dr. Sanjay Shetty, President of CenterWell at Humana is HERE  Overview  What does it really mean to age well?  We talk a lot about blood pressure, cholesterol, bone density, muscle, brain health, and staying independent — and all of that matters. But there's another piece of aging better that we may not be paying enough attention to: fulfillment.  In this episode of Age Better, I'm joined by two terrific guests: Dr. Kerry Burnight, gerontologist and author of JoySpan, and Dr. Sanjay Shetty, President of CenterWell at Humana, the organization behind the new Fulfillment Index.  The report found that only 54% of adults over 62 say they feel fulfilled, which means nearly half do not. And as Dr. Shetty explains, fulfillment is about much more than physical health. It includes purpose, emotional stability, optimism, gratitude, connection, security, feeling valued, and the real-life conditions people are living with every day.  One of the most fascinating findings is that fulfillment can dip in the early retirement years, when people often expect life to feel easier and freer. But retirement is not just a financial transition. It can also be a shift in identity, structure, purpose, and the feeling that we're still needed.  Dr. Burnight brings this back to something deeply practical: fulfillment is not something we simply wait for. Like strength, it requires attention and practice. We talk about self-contentment, purpose with a “lowercase p,” why feeling seen matters so much, and how to move from feeling “meh” to feeling more connected, useful, and alive in your own life.  This conversation is especially important for women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond who may be asking: Who am I now? What do I want this next chapter to look like? And what can I do today to create a life that feels not only longer, but fuller?  In this episode, we talk about:  How fulfillment is different from happiness Why so many people can look “fine” on the outside but feel disconnected inside Why fulfillment may dip around retirement How purpose can be small and still deeply meaningful Why physical strength supports more than just your body How self-contentment helps us age with less regret and more compassion Why feeling seen, heard, appreciated, and valued is essential One simple practice to begin building more fulfillment right away  This episode will help you think differently about what it means to age better — and what you can start doing now to build more purpose, connection, strength, and meaning into the years ahead.  Subscribe to AGE BETTER so you never miss an episode!

In today's episode, Dr. Ruston interviews tech journalist Manoush Zomorodi about her book Body Electric and a movement to normalize periodic movement breaks from screens. Zomorodi talks about research that shows five minutes of gentle movement every 30 minutes can significantly improve glucose, blood pressure, focus, mood, and energy, and explains a large self-reported project with 20,000 participants testing breaks every 30 minutes, hour, or two hours. They discuss why standing desks aren't enough, how movement supports circulation and cognition, practical habit strategies, and parenting approaches to help motivate kids to move, such as framing movement as something kids "get to" do.   Expert: Manoush Zomorodi   Book: Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being, by Manoush Zomorodi   Research References: Breaking Up Prolonged Sitting to Improve Cardiometabolic Risk: Dose-Response Analysis of a Randomized Crossover Trial, Keith Diaz, PhD et al.   Resources: Screenagers Website Bring Screenagers to Your Community   Time Code:  00:00 Show Updates 00:28 Meet Manoush 02:40 Why Screens Exhaust Us 04:13 Five Minute Fix 06:49 Testing Movement Breaks 08:24 Citizen Science Approach 11:56 Lab Results Surprise 15:28 Standing Desk Myth 18:04 Making Breaks Stick 20:46 Listening to Your Body 21:30 Movement Mindset Shift 22:22 Screenagers Films Break 23:13 Parenting Without Shame 24:42 The Pandemic Questionnaire 26:35 Did You Get to Move 27:24 Airport Workouts Legacy 28:08 Tracking Steps Without Pressure 30:21 Be the Weirdo at Work 32:17 Movement Experiments With Kids 33:04 Part Two Tease and Resources 33:50 Where to Find Manoush 34:44 Podcast Wrap and Credits

Dentists have been attempting to treat cracked teeth for decades, with the goal of alleviating patient pain and conserving teeth through restorative treatment. But as Dr. David Alleman, DDS, describes in this episode, “it's a coin toss of success.” Methods such as retention to hold the crack together or bonding over the crack with adhesion are unpredictable. Sometimes the treatment works, and sometimes it doesn't, leaving patients and practitioners frustrated. The solution: treat cracked teeth like engineers have been treating cracks for over a century. The challenge: applying these techniques to a biological environment and accounting for bacteria, dentin hydration and dental adhesives.Dr. David Alleman, DDS, discusses the history and treatment protocols for predictable cracked tooth treatment in this episode of the Six Lessons Approach podcast.Articles referenced in this episode:Brannstrom M.

Jim talks with Peter Wang—chief AI officer, cofounder and CEO of Anaconda, board member of the Center for Humane Technology, and founder of the Austin STEM Center—about Robert Pirsig's metaphysics of quality, how modernity encourages defection, and a secular conception of the sacred. They discuss: Peter's self-description as "the music in a violin that can kind of hear itself" The "Peter Wang-shaped hole in the universe" thought experiment Subject-object Cartesian dualism as a false alienation Minimum viable metaphysics & atheistic agnosticism Religion as an evolutionary emergent coherence mechanism for human collectives Figure and ground as a metaphysical lens—the anonymous soil that allows religion to sprout The Unix fortune "Man was invented by water to carry itself uphill" & Peter's teleology origin story Process metaphysics & presentism—"we're not going anywhere, we're becoming someone" Pirsig's metaphysics of quality & the four strata of static patterns of value The intellectual plane vs. the social plane & Ken Wilber's pre-trans fallacy Defection within collaborative groups as the dynamic all human social systems try to constrain "Death from a Distance"—throwing, beta coalitions & the emergence of a middle class of power Modernity's shrinking locus of care & the collapse of embedded social context The agglomeration of defectors & how fluid capital enables sociopathic hoarding Money-on-money return as today's dominant pruning rule Joint attention as a scarce collective resource & social media's perforation of shared intersubjective infrastructure Human agency & "micro-abdications" as the aggregate source of Moloch / Game A The augmented currency thought experiment—metering human thriving alongside financial returns Broken collective sense-making & the search for dynamic, adaptable values Peter's secular conception of the sacred—the "eternal golden braid of humanity" "Ofness"—holding both distinctness and belonging to the world ... and much more.

Dr. Jay Belsky joins the podcast to explore one of the most important and often misunderstood truths in parenting: the same environment does not affect every child the same way. Drawing from decades of research on nature and nurture, this conversation looks at how biology and experience work together to shape development, and why some kids are more sensitive to their environments while others are more resilient.   Together, we explore:   Why some children are more affected by parenting, stress, and environment than others. The difference between sensitivity and susceptibility, and why it matters for long-term development. What "developmental plasticity" is and how it shapes the way kids respond to their experiences. Why resilience is not always a good thing and sensitivity is not always a problem. How nature and nurture work together to shape each child in unique ways. The one thing within a parent's control that can help protect children from adversity. How to shift from trying to control outcomes to supporting the child you have. The difference between "carpenter" parenting and "gardener" parenting, and why it changes everything. How to set realistic expectations for yourself and your child without lowering the bar.   This conversation offers a powerful reframe for parents who feel confused, overwhelmed, or frustrated when what works for one child doesn't work for another. It is about understanding your child as an individual, letting go of the pressure to get it exactly right, and focusing on what truly supports healthy development over time.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

What happens when a society's pursuit of pure rationality and radical individualism actually threatens to dissolve the trust that holds it together? Notre Dame University's Paul G. Kimball Professor of Arts and Letters, Dr. Vittorio Hösle, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the overlooked genius of Giambattista Vico and the hidden dangers of modern rationalism. Dr. Hösle explores the philosophical foundations of the human sciences through his book Vico's New Science of the Intersubjective World. They examine why projecting modern thought onto ancient history fundamentally distorts our understanding of the past, and how recognizing the cyclical nature of civilizations can warn us against our own potential decay. In this conversation they explore: How Vico established a rigorous "new science" focused on the common nature of nations, effectively laying the groundwork for modern sociology and the human sciences. The profound realization that archaic humans experienced the world through sensual metaphors and mythic wisdom rather than abstract concepts or romantic love. The crucial discovery of the fallacy of anachronism—and why erudite scholars constantly make the mistake of projecting their own modern mindset onto the past. Why pure rationality and universal rational egoism, termed the "barbarism of reflection," can dissolve societal trust and lead to civilizational collapse. The sobering reality that historical progress is not guaranteed, and that the collapse of high civilization remains a persistent threat even today. Vico's method of conceptually understanding archaic societies by comparing epochs, even when directly empathizing with their foreign mindset is impossible. This is a conversation for anyone interested in philosophy, sociology, and history who wants to understand the foundational forces that shape human societies and the historical blind spots of the modern age. Make sure to check out Dr. Hösle's book: Vico's New Science of the Intersubjective World

Many of us have learned to live at odds with our own desires. Some of us follow them wherever they lead. Others try to suppress or manage them. Either way, desire can begin to feel like something we don’t quite trust. In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling sits down with therapist and author Jay Stringer to explore a more honest and hopeful way of understanding desire. Drawing from his book Desire: The Longings Inside Us and the New Science of How We Love, Heal, and Grow, Jay helps us see how even our most confusing or unwanted desires can become pathways toward healing. Together, they discuss: Why desire can feel like a “civil war” within us How our stories shape the desires we carry The role of shame—and the invitation to curiosity How to discern the deeper longing beneath misdirected desire A simple next step toward healing and greater awareness This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt conflicted inside—and wondered if there might be a more grace-filled way forward.

You've likely never heard of US Marine Oliver Sipple, who saved President Gerald Ford from an assassination attempt in 1975. His complicated story is brought to light in "Arlington, or Your Forgotten American Hero," a new play from American Lives Theatre in Indianapolis.

Most credit cards have that little 3- or 4-digit security code you constantly get asked for when shopping online. It can feel like a nuisance—but that tiny number plays a surprisingly important role in reducing fraud in a very simple and effective way. https://www.chase.com/personal/credit-cards/education/basics/why-do-some-sites-not-require-cvv We tend to think of financial advice as timeless: buy a house, invest for the long term, diversify your portfolio, put your money in index funds. But history tells a much messier story. There were periods when stocks performed terribly, when home ownership was a bad investment, and when other “sensible” advice turned out to be disastrously wrong. Joseph Moore, historian, investor, and author of How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't) (https://amzn.to/4uDCdrv), explains how financial “wisdom” changes over time, why so much money advice is shaped by the era we happen to live in, and what history can teach us about building wealth today. We've all heard the warnings about sitting too much and spending too much time staring at screens. But modern life practically demands it. Hours at a desk, then more hours scrolling, streaming, emailing, and checking notifications. The problem is, researchers are beginning to discover that this screen-heavy lifestyle may quietly affect far more than we realize—from energy and sleep to mood, focus, and long-term health. Manoush Zomorodi, award-winning journalist, host of NPR's TED Radio Hour, and author of Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being (https://amzn.to/3PraStx), shares what science is uncovering about the physical and mental toll of modern digital life—and why small, surprisingly simple changes may make a meaningful difference.

I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights How did Charles' initial attempt at a memoir expand to explore the science behind why we drink alcohol? Why did Charles feel it was essential to present alcohol research without oversimplifying? Why does he reject both anti-alcohol evangelism? What can early experiences with alcohol reveal about future risk of developing a problematic relationship with it? How does alcohol act as a social lubricant for some people? What's the connection between human evolution and alcohol as the world's oldest and most widely used drug? What was alcohol's role in early human societies? What distinguishes alcohol dependence from gray area drinking? Which aspects of drinking increase the risk of developing a problematic relationship with alcohol? Why does the brain's reward system prioritize alcohol over other needs? What is the default mode network, and why does alcohol's ability to quiet repetitive negative thinking make it so reinforcing?   About Charles Knowles Charles Knowles is Professor of Surgery at Queen Mary University of London and a colorectal surgeon. He is author of the book "Why We Drink Too Much: The New Science of Alcohol" which was published by Macmillan in the UK, Commonwealth, US and Canada in January 2026. The book entwines his own journey with an understanding of the effects of alcohol in the body and brain, and how this informs rational approaches to stopping or moderating consumption.         To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/389.

Have you ever struggled with a problem—only to have the answer suddenly appear when you stopped trying? It feels almost like magic, but it's actually your brain working in a very specific way when you step back. https://drexel.edu/now/archive/2016/March/Insight_Correctness/ We all want to know what's going to happen next. But life doesn't work that way. In fact, the real challenge may not be uncertainty itself—but our growing discomfort with it. Simone Stolzoff, journalist and author of How to Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty in a World that Demands Answers (https://amzn.to/428rpWb), explains why we crave certainty, why that craving can make life harder, and how learning to tolerate—and even embrace—uncertainty can change the way you experience the world. You've probably heard that your health is shaped by both your genes and your lifestyle. But how much control do you really have? Are some outcomes unavoidable—or can your daily choices actually override genetic risk? Dr. Florence Comite, endocrinologist and expert in longevity and precision medicine, has spent decades studying how to optimize health at the individual level. In our conversation, she explains how genes influence your future, where they don't, and how understanding your personal biology can help you make smarter decisions to improve health and extend lifespan. She is author of Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer (https://amzn.to/3Pir404). In the middle of a tense conversation, it's easy for things to escalate quickly. But there's a simple three-word phrase that can instantly shift the tone—turning conflict into something more productive and less combative.

We talk a lot about what technology is doing to our minds. But what about everything below the neck? This week, Jessi is joined by Manoush Zomorodi, host of NPR's TED Radio Hour and author of Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age, and New Science to Reclaim Your Wellbeing. Unfortunately, a killer workout or a standing desk won't save us from the long-term health consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. But five minutes of gentle movement every half hour could. In fact, Manoush helped run a clinical trial with 23,000 people to prove it. Jessi and Manoush discuss: Why sitting all day drains your energy even when you haven't done anything The Columbia study that got 23,000 people moving, and what it proved Why standing desks aren't actually the fix we thought they were The "garden hose" model of what happens to your arteries when you sit or stand too long How people can restructure their workdays (and their calendars) to make movement stick What "information athletes" can learn from dancers, musicians, and pilots The shift from screen-shaming to something kinder and more practical This one might make you want to stand up and take a lap while listening. That's kind of the point. Follow Manoush Zomorodi and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn.

  Today's guest on the podcast shares how to proactively preserve both one's health span and “beauty span”: the visible vitality, confidence, and connection to self over time. We got into some juicy and controversial topics around aging and the beauty industry, as well sustainability. My guest asserts that aging is not a passive process, it is something we can actively manage. Her mission is to help people understand that beauty, energy, and longevity are interconnected. When you support the body at a cellular and hormonal level, you don't just look better, you function better. Dr. Sofia Din is a board-certified Family Physician with over 25 years of medical experience and advanced training in Geriatrics. She began her career in hospital medicine and long-term care, where she served as a Medical Director, before shifting her focus from disease management to proactive longevity and anti-aging medicine. She is the Medical Director of Juvanni Medical P.C. in Westchester, New York, where she integrates aesthetics, hormonal health, and advanced non-surgical technologies to help patients navigate menopause, andropause, metabolic slowdown, and chronic skin failure. Dr. Din is also the author of Do We Really Need Botox? and the host of the podcast Bathroom Diaries, where she explores the science, psychology, and cultural dimensions of aging, beauty, and self-perception.

Welcome back to the second half of this powerful conversation with Jay Stringer. Building on the foundation of his book, "Desire,"Jay moves us deeper into one of the most provocative ideas of the conversation: Sometimes our desires must disrupt and even destroy something in order to make way for something more true. This isn't destruction for destruction's sake. Iconoclasm is the breaking of false structures, identities, and "provisional selves" that no longer serve us. And as Jay explores, when we don't have wise guides or meaningful rites of passage, that disruption often shows up as self-sabotage—affairs, addictions, burnout, or relational breakdown. But instead of dismissing those moments as failure, Jay invites us to see them as honest signals—clues pointing back to our story, our unmet longings, and the deeper work our soul is trying to initiate. Listen in to a conversation that is rich with story and grounded in research as they also explore: why community is essential for making sense of our desires (and why we can't do this work alone) how to interrogate your desires in a healthy, curious way—not with shame, but with wisdom and how our desires are often shaped by forces we don't even realize, yet can be reshaped over time Desire has the power to both build and break. The question is not whether disruption will come—but whether we'll have the courage, support, and curiosity to let it lead us somewhere good.

What if desire isn't something to suppress or fear, but something to honor and steward? In this two-part conversation, therapist and author Jay Stringer joins Dan Allender and Rachael Clinton Chen to explore that very question through the lens of his new book, "Desire: The Longings Inside Us and the New Science of How We Love, Heal, and Grow." From the very beginning, it was clear this topic couldn't be contained in a single episode. Dan arrived with 16 pages of notes—so settle in for a deep, expansive conversation that unfolds across the next two weeks. In Part 1, Jay traces the long personal and clinical journey behind Desire, opening up a deeper question beneath the surface of struggle and behavior: how do we learn to want well? You'll hear: Why desire often feels like a "civil war" within us How your family of origin can shape what you long for (and what you may have denied) The concept of the "provisional self"—and how it can both help and hinder you Why some of the patterns you want to escape may actually be clues to deeper healing Through personal stories, clinical insight, and thoughtful reflection, this conversation invites you to get curious about your desires—not to judge them, but to understand where they come from and where they're leading you. Be sure to come back next week as Jay re-joins us to explore the disruptive role of desire, the courage it takes to engage it, and how to grow it within the context of community.

It's time to park it! This week we're tackling betrayal trauma (yet again) and we'll be covering the neuroscience, neurobiology, and psychology as well as some tangentially related research on betrayal, betrayal blindness, and the freeze response. I hope you enjoy this week's communal Schauer, it's a long one - you may leave this episode a bit pruney. We have fun here.

I sincerely apologize for getting derailed last week, hopefully this week's episode shows you guys that I am course correcting and making up for the delay. Yes, this caption does seem quite serious but I'm just taking the time to display what this episode is all about. Hopefully you all enjoy the research I've collected because I sure as heck did.  Next week we'll be going into the neuroscience of betrayal blindness as well as the “freeze” response - so be prepared for a very cold Schauer.  -Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/jRMKW Make sure to ‘like' and ‘subscribe' on Youtube, as well as rate me five stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts or any place you get your podcasts.

You don't feel free, not because of your life, but because of the patterns you learned to survive it." What if the reason you don't feel free… has nothing to do with your circumstances? In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson sits down with Nicole LePera to reveal how your inner child is still shaping your sense of safety, control, and freedom. You may be doing everything right… yet still feel tense, on edge, or unable to fully relax. This conversation uncovers why: part of you is still responding to life from the past. Through the lens of the inner child, Nicole explains how patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, and control were learned early on to help you feel safe and how they continue to run your life today. Those patterns once protected you. But they may now be limiting you. If you've ever felt like something inside you won't let you fully feel at ease… or like you keep repeating the same emotional cycles; this episode will help you see it clearly.   Timestamps (00:02:47) – The real issue: why you don't feel free (beyond circumstances) (00:04:12) – How your body learned safety through survival (00:06:05) – Conditioning: how your early environment shaped you (00:08:30) – Living in subtle anxiety (even when life is "fine") (00:10:18) – Why you keep looking outside to feel okay (00:12:41) – Control, hyper-awareness, and nervous system patterns (00:15:06) – The identity you built to survive (00:18:22) – Recognizing patterns vs. thinking your way out (00:22:48) – Awareness as the doorway to real change (00:27:15) – Reconnecting with safety within (closing insight) Questions I Ask What if your lack of freedom has nothing to do with your life? Are you actually safe… or just used to surviving? Why does your body stay on edge even when nothing is wrong? What are you still trying to control just to feel okay? Who would you be if you didn't need life to go a certain way? Are you ready to see the pattern that's been running you? In This Episode, You'll Learn Why nothing in your life will fix how you feel (and never will) The real reason you're still anxious, even when everything is "fine" How your body is addicted to survival mode (and you don't even see it) Why your need for control is actually keeping you stuck The hidden pattern running your life on autopilot What it actually takes to break free (and why most people never do)   Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

In this episode, Michael sits down with licensed therapist, author, and researcher Jay Stringer for a deep and vulnerable conversation exploring the core desires that shape our lives. Together, they unpack themes from Jay Stringer's latest book, Desire: The Longings Inside of Us and the New Science of How We Love, Heal, and Grow.Over the course of their dialogue, Michael and Jay examine the five core desires: wholeness, personal growth, pleasure, intimacy, and meaning. They candidly discuss the traps of mastery and control, the importance of radical self-hospitality, and the crucial role of self-acceptance in loving others well. You will hear stories from Jay's clinical experience, thoughtful reflections on the nature of shame and transformation, and an honest look at how pleasure and intimacy can be both revealing and redemptive.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!
