What if the biggest obstacle holding you back isn't your past but your mindset? Psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman, PhD, challenges everything you think you know about trauma, resilience, and personal growth. In this episode, you'll discover why labeling every setback as “trauma” can keep you stuck, how social media turns psychology terms into empty buzzwords, and why blaming the world won't set you free. Host Gabe Howard dives deep into the difference between being a victim and living with a victim mindset — and why refusing to let go of a painful past can quietly sabotage your future. Learn about post-traumatic growth, the empowering idea that you can transform adversity into strength. Explore how to replace learned helplessness with learned hopefulness, and why embracing an empowerment mindset might be the key to unlocking your full potential. Key takeaways: how to recognize a victim mindset — and break free from it why trauma doesn't have to define you the difference between acknowledging pain and living in it practical ways to build resilience and reclaim your life If you're ready to stop waiting for someone else to fix your life, this conversation will show you how to rise above and live your best life. Cold Open Transcript: “I'm not a fan of blanket labeling things as a disorder or an illness, which are actually just extreme versions of personality traits. You can be a victim to your past. You can be a victim to your emotions. You can be a victim to your self-esteem. You could be a victim to your need to please. I am trying to help and empower people, wherever they've come from, to consider their hope for the future and consider what they still have left within themselves what resources they have left and what strengths they can draw on. I It's a choice. It's a choice. It's not always the obviously easiest route. It's not always the path of least resistance, but it's one that's ultimately more satisfying and meaningful.” ~Scott Barry Kaufman, PhD Our guest, Scott Barry Kaufman, PhD, is a cognitive psychologist who is among the top 1% most cited scientists in the world for his groundbreaking research on intelligence, creativity, and human potential.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we unlock the secrets of the Moon's far side, explore the Sun's helicity barrier, and discuss the European Space Agency's advancements in orbital launch vehicles.Extended Volcanism on the Moon's Far SideRecent findings reveal that the Moon's far side has experienced extended volcanism for at least 1.4 billion years, with two significant volcanic phases occurring around 4.2 and 2.8 billion years ago. This research, stemming from samples collected by China's Chang' E6 mission, provides insights into the Moon's geological history and the asymmetry between its near and far sides. The study highlights the role of colossal impacts in shaping the Moon's interior and suggests uneven distribution of volatile elements.Discovery of the Sun's Helicity BarrierA groundbreaking study has identified a region of the Sun known as the helicity barrier, which plays a crucial role in heating and accelerating the solar wind. Observations from NASA's Parker Solar Probe have confirmed the existence of this barrier, providing insights into the mechanisms of turbulent dissipation and coronal heating. This discovery helps explain temperature anomalies in the solar atmosphere and enhances our understanding of space weather events that impact Earth.European Space Agency's Launch Vehicle DevelopmentsThe European Space Agency has narrowed its list of potential candidates for future orbital launch vehicles. The selected companies will receive funding to develop their systems, aiming to increase competition and choice in European launch services. This initiative mirrors efforts by NASA in the U.S. to foster a diverse range of commercial launch providers, enhancing capabilities for future space missions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/naturePhysical Reviewhttps://journals.aps.org/pr/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

What if giving birth left you with nightmares, hypervigilance, and a constant sense of dread — and no one believed you? Worse, what if you didn't think it mattered because, after all, the baby is healthy? In this eye-opening episode, host Gabe Howard talks with ADAA member expert Dr. Lauren Sippel about a condition many have never heard of: postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Dr. Sippel explains what postpartum PTSD really looks like, why it's often misdiagnosed, and how to tell the difference between typical new parent stress and clinical trauma. Often overshadowed by postpartum depression and dismissed by loved ones and providers, postpartum PTSD is a silent struggle affecting far more people than we realize. If you or someone you love has felt lost or dismissed after childbirth, this conversation could be life-changing.

I've heard about the peaceful ones. I personally had two unmedicated ones that were not intentionally unmedicated. There was a lot of screaming. And my babies were healthy. And some things went as smoothly as expected and some things did not go as planned. And one of them was pretty scary. And thankfully I did not experience PTSD symptoms from that. Could I tell you why, Gabe? Absolutely not. And if I did, I probably couldn't tell you that either.” ~Lauren M.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore some of the most exciting recent discoveries in astronomy, including the largest Oort Cloud comet ever observed and remarkable achievements from NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover.Comet C/2014 UN271 Bernardinelli-Bernstein: A Giant from the Oort CloudAstronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting molecular activity in Comet C/2014 UN271 Bernardinelli-Bernstein, the largest and most distant active comet ever observed. Originating from the Oort Cloud, this colossal comet measures nearly 140 km across, revealing complex jets of carbon monoxide gas and providing insight into its behavior far from the Sun. Observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile have confirmed its status as the largest known Oort Cloud comet, offering a rare glimpse into the chemistry and dynamics of these distant celestial objects.Nasa's Perseverance Rover Sets New Distance RecordNASA's Mars Perseverance Rover has achieved a new milestone, traveling 411 meters in a single autonomous drive while exploring the Jezero Crater. This episode highlights the rover's innovative AUTONAV self-driving system and its 30th Abrasion Study of a Martian rock named Kenmore. The findings reveal significant mineral compositions, including clay minerals, iron, and magnesium, enhancing our understanding of Mars' geological history and potential past habitability.Exoplanets Triggering Stellar FlaresAstronomers have discovered that certain exoplanets in close orbits around their host stars can trigger powerful stellar flares, leading to atmospheric erosion over time. This groundbreaking finding, reported in the journal Nature, demonstrates the interaction between planets and their stars in a way never before observed. The study, conducted using the European Space Agency's CHEOPS spacecraft, reveals that these energetic flares can significantly impact the evolution of the orbiting planets, providing new insights into the dynamics of stellar systems.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357NASA Perseverance Roverhttps://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/Nature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/natureBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

In this episode of Salute The Songbird, Maggie welcomes singer, songwriter, producer, and activist Joy Oladokun for a wide-ranging conversation about the intersections of creativity, identity, and survival. The two longtime friends delve into Joy's genre-blurring artistry, her self-produced album Observations from a Crowded Room, and the deep introspection that fuels her music. Joy opens up about growing up in a Nigerian-American household in Arizona, discovering Tracy Chapman, and why she left church spaces to build her own spiritual path. She shares how a moose sighting while on mushrooms nearly stopped her from quitting music, how collaboration starts with real friendship, and why she intentionally created an album without filtering her experience through others. This is an intimate, funny, and profoundly moving episode about creative boundaries, emotional honesty, and what it means to be a queer Black artist in Nashville—and in the world.

We all know about physical fitness, but what if we treated mental fitness with the same urgency and structure? In this episode, psychiatrist and author Dr. Drew Ramsey joins Gabe Howard to reveal how everyday choices like eating more vegetables or going on a daily walk can profoundly reshape our brains and protect our mental health. No fancy meds or complicated therapy — just smart, doable actions that turn your mind into a powerhouse. Discover why mental fitness is the missing piece in our mental health crisis and how stacking simple changes can protect your brain for life. Listen in and learn: simple tenets of mental fitness that anyone can start today how your diet and daily routines shape your brain health why connection and engagement are brain superfoods how to unburden trauma and build purpose for lasting strength If you're looking for real, science-backed ways to feel better and stay better — without gimmicks — this episode will change how you think about your mental health forever.  Cold Open Transcript: Gabe Howard: People psych themselves out and say, oh, well, I put butter on my broccoli. I've ruined it. Everybody seems to think that if they're not a raw vegan, then there's no point in eating healthy. And I think that's a mistake. Drew Ramsey, MD: That's a huge mistake. It's also not what the data says, if you look at research. What I've tried to bring to the mental health world is the notion that we need to think about food when we're thinking about things like depression, anxiety, bipolar illness, trauma recovery, substance use disorders, psychotic disorders, all of these have big nutritional implications. Our guest, Drew Ramsey, MD, is a board certified psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author. ​His work focuses on evidence-based integrative psychiatry, Nutritional Psychiatry and male mental health. He founded the Brain Food Clinic, a digital mental health practice, and Spruce Mental Health in Jackson, Wyoming. Using the latest research along with decades of clinical experience, he hopes to help people improve their mental health and build resilient mental fitness. He and his team have created three e-courses: Healing the Modern Brain, Eat To Beat Depression, and Nutritional Psychiatry for Clinicians; along with free downloads, the free nutritional psychiatry cooking class the Mental Fitness Kitchen, a weekly mental health update newsletter Friday Feels, and a mental health and mental fitness focused podcast. ​His latest book, “Healing the Modern Brain: Nine Tenets To Build Mental Fitness and Revitalize Your Mind,” will be published by Harper Collins in March 2025. His previous books helped establish Nutritional Psychiatry and explore the connection between food and mental health: the international best-seller “Eat To Beat Depression and Anxiety” (HarperWave 2021) now translated into 9 languages; the award-winning cookbook “Eat Complete: The 21 Nutrients that Fuel Brain Power, Boost Weight Loss and Transform Your Health” (HarperWave 2016); the bestseller “50 Shades of Kale” (HarperWave 2013) and “The Happiness Diet: A Nutritional Prescription for a Sharp Brain, Balanced Mood and Lean, Energized Body” (Rodale 2011).  ​Learn more at DrewRamseyMD.com. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio.

For better visual experience, we recommend check out our ad on Youtube: https://go.aazarshad.com/dumb-ads In this episode, we discussed dumb ads that really worked for us. Especially when we didn't think they'd win. Guess what? We might have thought they were dumb, but they worked. The pattern? These ads weren't actually dumb. They were: • Memorable • Authentic • Simple • Emotionally resonant Takeaway: Sometimes the ads that seem ridiculous in the boardroom are exactly what will cut through the noise. The best marketing doesn't always look like marketing. What matters isn't how clever your ad seems internally. What matters is whether it stops the scroll, creates an emotion, and drives action Timestamps: 00:01:21 – First ad example: “Living with low T is tough” – why this simple, ‘dumb' ad keeps working and insights from its success. 00:02:37 – Discussion on why the ad works: simplicity, imagery, and relatable headline. 00:03:36 – Iterations and headline successes from the ad. 00:04:14 – Second ad example: cartoon-style ad for kids' emotional regulation—format, copywriting, and why clients don't like but audiences do. 00:06:01 – Third ad example in the same theme: “Say goodbye to boring summer” and the effectiveness of cartoon hands. 00:08:02 – Next ad analysis: “golden milk with spice”—lack of benefits in the copy and how it still lands with the right audience. 00:09:26 – Another example: Betacamp ad about building a business in summer; hands holding signs as a recurring theme. 00:10:46 – Observations about the “sign” creative theme in successful ads. 00:11:42 – Branded SaaS ad example that unexpectedly outperforms others due to clear value proposition and branding. 00:12:22 – Story about Fermat and how a landing page graphic became a winning ad. 00:14:08 – More surprising ad success stories: poorly designed or ‘mistake' ads that excel in performance. 00:16:41 – Listening to an Ozprint ad: humor, Aussie culture, entertaining elements. 00:18:02 – Why humor and cultural cues help the Ozprint ad work so well. 00:19:50 – Another Ozprint ad: breakdown of elements, storytelling, and video structure. 00:21:25 – Discussion on editing, relatability, and final thoughts on ad creativity. 00:21:57 – Wrap-up and key takeaways: try sign ads, make mistakes, and embrace funky concepts.

Michael's background and transition to AI @ 13:38 Michael reveals his unexpected background in the arts and theatre, and how he later transitioned into finance before becoming interested in the implications of AI. He shares insights about the resistance to change and adoption of new technologies within the finance industry. Observations on AI adoption and impact @ 30:22 Michael shares two key observations about the adoption of AI: 1) Finance professionals initially dismissed the potential of machine learning, but then quickly embraced it for commercial reasons rather than scientific merit. 2) Highly experienced and successful finance professionals were often the most resistant to acknowledging the disruptive impact of AI on their industry. Episode Highlights: AI will be the next cautionary tale about companies and individuals who ignore new technology, rather than embrace it. (Think Kodak & Blockbuster.) Don't think of AI as exclusively a technology tool, think of it as a writing and development tool. Humans drive AI by desire, the "I want to..." AI doesn't create or change because it desires to do so. Quotes: "It's not 'how is AI going to change my industry', it's 'how am I going to use AI to change my industry?" On the difference between an AI and human approach: “It's not so much a skills question, it's a will or a desire question, that I want to do something is not within AI's remit..." Meet Michael Kollo: Michael Kollo is a finance professional turned AI strategist with a PhD in Finance from the London School of Economics. With over 15 years of experience at the intersection of quantitative finance and technology, he has held roles at BlackRock, Fidelity, AXA, and HESTA. AI represents the most significant shift in financial services since the rise of algorithmic trading. However, the real challenge lies in deploying AI to create tangible value. Through Evolved AI, Michael works directly with financial firms to ensure AI adoption is practical, secure, and aligned with industry needs. Whether through executive training or micro-automations, he focuses on bridging the gap between AI capability and financial business objectives. Committed to making AI an augmentative tool rather than a black box, he helps firms navigate this transformation with clarity, strategy, and execution.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

Imagine hearing, “You have bipolar disorder,” and feeling the ground drop out from under you. That moment of shock and confusion is the very reason we made this episode. Join Gabe Howard (lived experience) and Dr. Nicole Washington (board certified psychiatrist) as they transform that initial overwhelm into a powerful first step. In this episode, you'll discover the essential truths no one tells you when you get a new diagnosis: why bipolar is a lifelong journey (yes, it's more like diabetes than a short-term infection), how to sort gold standard science from Reddit rumors, and why medications — while not magic — can be game‑changers when wielded wisely. Whether you're fresh off your diagnosis or need a foundational refresher, press play and arm yourself with the knowledge, skills, and community wisdom that can turn this new chapter into your strongest one yet.  “When it comes to bipolar disorder, I caution you against answer shopping. It only hurts you when you believe incorrect information.” ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into fascinating connections between Earth's atmospheric conditions and its magnetic field, alongside intriguing insights into Mercury and the mysteries of the Sun's corona.Link Between Earth's Oxygen and Magnetic FieldA groundbreaking study published in Science Advances reveals a correlation between the fluctuations of Earth's magnetic field and atmospheric oxygen levels over the last 540 million years. Researchers suggest that processes within the Earth might influence habitability on the surface, highlighting the magnetic field's role in protecting our atmosphere from cosmic rays and solar wind. This correlation raises questions about the underlying processes linking these two critical elements for life on Earth.Unraveling Mercury's SecretsNew findings indicate that Mercury's crust and internal structure are unlike any other planet in our solar system. Laboratory simulations are aiding the European-Japanese BepiColombo mission, set to orbit Mercury in November 2026. Researchers are investigating why Mercury's core constitutes 60% of its volume, exploring theories about its metal-rich composition and volcanic history. The study emphasizes the need for more data to understand Mercury's unique characteristics and geological processes.The Ongoing Mystery of the Sun's CoronaDespite advancements in solar research, the heating of the Sun's corona remains a significant puzzle. Observations from NASA's IRIS mission and other spacecraft are shedding light on potential mechanisms, including magnetic reconnection and plasma waves. These studies are revealing the complexity of the solar atmosphere and could help scientists understand how energy is transferred from the Sun's surface to its outer layers.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesScience Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvNASA IRIS Missionhttps://iris.lmsal.com/European Space Agencyhttps://www.esa.int/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 77 for broadcast on 27 June 202501:00 Link between Earth's oxygen and magnetic field12:15 Unraveling Mercury's secrets22:30 The ongoing mystery of the Sun's corona30:00 Science report: Changing seasonal rhythms and their impact on ecosystems

Is your child a picky eater, or is it something more serious — and how can you tell? Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) goes far beyond food preferences. It's driven by deep-seated fears of choking, vomiting, or other anxieties that can lead to dangerous nutritional deficiencies. In this episode, Gabe Howard sits down with ADAA member expert Dr. Jacqueline Sperling, a clinical psychologist and Harvard Medical School professor, to break down the signs of ARFID, outline how it differs from typical picky eating, and mention when parents should seek professional help. Learn how to spot the red flags, understand the role of anxiety in food avoidance, and discover ways to support kids managing this lesser known eating disorder. If mealtimes are a battle in your home, this episode is a must-listen! Special thanks to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America for sponsoring this episode.  “They could have different obsessions of what might happen should they eat any of those foods. Some could have a fear that there's contamination. Some can have a fear that it's cooked all the way. Some can have a concern that something separate from the food, but a negative consequence may happen if they eat those foods. It can also happen that someone is worried about having IBS symptoms in public, so they don't want to eat certain foods. And so they limit the foods that they eat, or even when they're at home because they're worried about when they go out in public afterward.” ~Jacqueline Sperling, PhD Our guest, Jacqueline Sperling, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, assistant professor in psychology at Harvard Medical School, and the co-founder and co-program director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital. She is the author of the young adult nonfiction book “Find Your Fierce: How to Put Social Anxiety in Its Place” and a contributor for Harvard Health Publishing. Dr. Sperling specializes in implementing cognitive behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention and working with youth with anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She also focuses on caregiver guidance, such as by using behavioral parent training, to help families address children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors. In addition, Dr. Sperling is passionate about disseminating evidence-based information to the community, and she frequently speaks about the impact of social media use on mental health. Moreover, Dr. Sperling is committed to increasing access to care and participates in advocacy at state and federal government levels.
