I'm going to assume you are aware that we are at a time when, even though we are often in communication with more people than ever, quantity wise, we are statistically connecting with fewer people than ever. The stats on loneliness and isolation are at equal or all time highs. I have been giving focus to how we connect, but a key issue is what we are connecting with. Meaning, what are we sharing with other people? My guest in this episode is Leslie John, the James E. Burke Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. Her award-winning research appears in top academic journals and media including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. She has taken her research direct from her teaching at Harvard and is giving it to us in her new book, REVEALING: The Underrated Power of Oversharing. So right there, oversharing. It's easy to look at social media and feel everyone is literally, oversharing. But set that aside, here we are talking about your personal relationships. In your home, at work, with friends and family. In these instances, Leslie is finding that we are for the most part, undersharing. We aren't being open and honest with people. Authentic is a popular word these days. So of course her call is for us to share more deeply and honestly. Now are we to do this with everyone, everywhere, all the time? Of course not. But where we care and where it counts, I'll ask you, do you want to connect more deeply? Do you want to feel more resonance with people you care about? This is the show.

If you've ever said yes when you meant no, and then spent the rest of the day resenting it, this episode is for you. Host Somya sits down with Glen Alex, LCSW, author and boundaries educator, to unpack why healthy boundaries have nothing to do with being cold or selfish, and everything to do with keeping yourself safe. Glen breaks down the two most common boundary breakers she sees in her practice, oversharing and over-yessing, and walks through the difference between appropriate guilt and the kind that just keeps you stuck. If you're ready to stop apologizing for choosing yourself, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate place to start. About the Guest: Glen Alex is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and author who has spent years studying what it means to live with boundaries that support both connection and self-respect. She is the author of Living in Total Health and Living Boundaries, and offers complimentary consultations through her practice. Key Takeaways: Boundaries aren't walls built to keep people out. They're agreements you make with yourself about what you will and won't carry. Watch for the two most common boundary breakers: oversharing (giving people ammunition before trust is earned) and over-yessing (saying yes when the honest answer is no). Learn to tell appropriate guilt (your conscience flagging a real value you violated) apart from inappropriate guilt (a looping "I should" that has no corrective action attached). Start where the discomfort actually is. If anxiety or burnout is showing up, trace it back to the specific relationship or ask that needs a boundary. Slipping up doesn't mean you failed. The moment you notice, you step back in, no self-punishment required. A boundary only holds if your "why" is strong enough to outlast the pushback from people used to getting their way.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 30, 2026 is: illustrious ih-LUSS-tree-us adjective Illustrious describes a person or deed that is highly admired and respected. // During the ceremony, the illustrious star of stage and screen was presented with a lifetime achievement award. See the entry > Examples: “Two of the most respected professors—an academic power couple—invited me to their home for dinner. I was flattered and excited. When we sat down at the table, my heart sank. The first dish they served was steak tartare. Raw beef, no matter how well seasoned, no matter how swanky the cut, is not my jam. ... And in the home of these illustrious professors, I was ashamed about that. I feared they would consider me unsophisticated for not liking the dish.” — Leslie John, Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing, 2026 Did you know? Today's spotlight is on illustrious, from the Latin adjective illustris, meaning “shining brightly with light.” Illustris itself was probably a back-formation of the Latin verb illustrare, a word with varied meanings, among them “to light up,” “to make clear,” and “to embellish.” (Our word illustrate also comes from illustrare, of course; its original meaning was “to enlighten intellectually, culturally, or spiritually.”) At one time, illustrious could be used synonymously with its immediate Latin forbear to describe things that glow brightly, but that meaning is now considered archaic. The word today is almost exclusively used to describe something—such as a career or achievement—that stands out figuratively, shining brilliantly in the mind's eye.
This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are talking about the complicated art of showing up for the people you love, without completely draining yourself in the process. Jordana opens up about the exhaustion of parenting two babies, and the resentment that can creep in when free time is scarce. Then, an Oversharer wonders how much grace she should continue giving a grieving friend when their friendship has long felt one-sided, prompting a conversation about lowering expectations without necessarily ending a friendship. Next, they weigh in on a six-months-pregnant Betchisist whose husband wants to stay out clubbing solo on their Ibiza babymoon, and whether her anxiety is really about his safety, or what his night out means for their relationship. Dr. Naomi offers an intention for a mom struggling with back-to-school anxiety and explains how learning to trust your kids can help them learn to trust themselves. Finally, the Triggered's: one listener's dad replaces the dog he gave her with the exact same breed, a scenario that feels a little too familiar, while another wonders if her future in-laws are crossing a boundary by vacationing in Hawaii at the same time as her honeymoon.

Ever shared something vulnerable and immediately wished you could take it back? That sinking feeling has a name: the vulnerability hangover. Harvard Business School professor and behavioral scientist Dr. Leslie John joins Danielle to unpack the surprising science of self-disclosure, why we often regret what we don't say more than what we do, and how revealing a little more, at work, in dating, and in friendship, can actually deepen trust, strengthen relationships, and change the way we connect. In this episode Dr. John shares: Why we regret what we hide more than what we reveal The science behind trust and human connection How to know if you're oversharing—or simply being honest Why vulnerability feels so uncomfortable The psychology of revealing secrets How social media has changed the way we share our lives The difference between authentic vulnerability and performative sharing Why revealing a little more can improve your relationships The "Goldilocks Principle" of self-disclosure How to have difficult conversations without saying too much What to share on first dates (and what to save for later) How vulnerability can make you a better leader at work Why you should only list a few personality traits on your dating profile. Why reciprocity is the key to building deeper friendships Practical advice for overcoming the fear of opening up How to tell if someone is revealing to connect, or revealing to perform. Why relationships should be built "like a fire," slowly, one reveal at a time. The biggest first-date red flag: skipping straight to trauma dumping.

What if better relationships aren't about finding the right person—but becoming better at being in one? Relationship expert and author Dr. Elena joins Kelly Siegel on Harder Than Life for an honest conversation about love, communication, emotional availability, boundaries, healing, and what it takes to build a healthy relationship. Dr. Elena explains why couples often get stuck trying to solve problems when their partner simply wants to feel heard, how unresolved childhood experiences can trigger reactions in adult relationships, and why bringing old emotional baggage into a new relationship can recreate the same patterns all over again. Kelly and Dr. Elena also explore masculine and feminine energy, the importance of healthy boundaries, how successful people can struggle to turn off “CEO mode” at home, chemistry versus compatibility, modern dating, and why love is ultimately a decision—not simply a feeling. If you're struggling with relationship communication, repeating unhealthy dating patterns, trying to heal from past relationships, or looking for a deeper understanding of what makes love last, this episode offers practical perspectives you can take into your own relationships.

¿Por qué nos cuesta construir relaciones profundas si compartimos más que nunca en redes sociales? En este episodio de Más Cabrona que Bonita, Ana Victoria García reflexiona sobre la desaparición de la intimidad psicológica , el crecimiento del oversharing y la manera en la que la exposición constante está transformando nuestras relaciones personales, profesionales y digitales.

Escucha el episodio completo y descubre por qué crear espacios donde alguien pueda quedarse también puede ser una de las decisiones más estratégicas para tu negocio.
Everyone says “heal,” but nobody explains how to do it safely
What if authenticity isn't a personality trait—but a sign of nervous system capacity? Many people believe they struggle to be themselves because they lack confidence, boundaries, or self-awareness. But after trauma, authenticity can feel physiologically dangerous. When the nervous system has learned that honesty risks rejection, conflict, or abandonment, masking, performing, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and emotional editing become intelligent survival strategies. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof explore why authenticity is one of the clearest markers of post-traumatic growth. They unpack the neuroscience behind masking, the relationship between performance and attachment, why "little lies" often emerge from protection rather than manipulation, and how increasing nervous system capacity allows authentic self-expression without collapse or self-abandonment. The conversation also explores how psychedelic experiences often create temporary feelings of authenticity and forgiveness—but why those insights only become lasting change through preparation, regulation, and integration. Jennifer also shares a deeply personal reflection on self-forgiveness, relational repair, and how nervous system regulation creates the capacity to tell the truth, remain connected, and experience genuine freedom. In This Episode, We Discuss Why authenticity is a marker of nervous system health—not personality. How complex trauma teaches the body that honesty can threaten attachment. The neuroscience behind masking, performance, and emotional editing. Why perfectionism is a survival strategy rather than a character trait. The relationship between authenticity and post-traumatic growth. How chronic self-suppression increases allostatic load and nervous system stress. Why "little lies" often function as protective nervous system adaptations. The difference between visibility and authentic expression. Oversharing versus authentic vulnerability. How nervous system capacity changes relationships. Why psychedelic insight alone does not create lasting transformation. The role of preparation and integration after psychedelic experiences. Self-forgiveness as a nervous system practice rather than a mindset. Why shame blocks neuroplasticity and learning. Attunement, emotional processing, and authentic change. Forgiveness without bypassing accountability. Breaking intergenerational trauma patterns through regulation and capacity building.

What is trauma dumping, the toxic equivalent of oversharing? It's common for good friends to tell each other about pretty much everything going on in their lives. Within healthy friendships, it's a way of bonding and supporting one another, especially when one of the friends is struggling. But sometimes this goes drastically overboard, and someone shares something really personal and traumatic without prior warning or getting permission. That kind of unsolicited oversharing has been labelled trauma dumping. Bear in mind trauma dumping is not a clinical term. It caught on online, after a woman, apparently a therapist, posted a video on Tiktok deriding one of her patients. She used the caption “When a client wants to trauma dump first session”. Wait a minute, aren't therapists supposed to be there to listen to your problems? What are the negative consequences of trauma dumping? What's the best way to deal with trauma dumping?

In this episode, we chat about Julie's casual confession to being a proud, private "Petty Betty" (and why that's different from oversharing online), the real reasons people post the messy stuff: comfort, clout, or community, sometimes all three at once, and a Brazilian wax story that made someone's teenagers beg her to stop. We also get into the mother-in-law-ripping, motherhood-is-brutal corners of the internet, the fine line between describing your life and creating it, and the hard stuff nobody shows up for.

DEATS with Deanna: Discussions around Food & Entrepreneurship
Building a strong personal brand does not come from sharing more credentials, creating more content, or following another formula. Often, the most powerful way to stand out online is by learning how to tell the stories that reveal who you are, what you believe, and why your work matters. In this episode, Deanna sits down with Elizabeth Brett, a former NBC reporter turned storytelling coach, to discuss how health professionals and women business owners can use storytelling to build authority, deepen connection, and create content that feels more human in an AI-driven world. Elizabeth shares how to identify your North Star story, how to know what is safe and aligned to share, and why micro-stories may be more powerful than the traditional origin story. Tune in to hear: Why storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to build authority online How health professionals can identify the story that anchors their offer How to know whether you are sharing vulnerably or oversharing The importance of using your own internal compass when deciding what parts of your story to share Why your story should connect to the transformation your offer creates How to navigate stories that involve family members or other people Why many business owners are not telling enough stories or taking enough creative risks The difference between proving your authority and showing your authority through lived experience How to start seeing everyday moments as content and storytelling opportunities How to use AI as a tool to uncover stories without losing your authentic voice Why the traditional long-form origin story is becoming less effective The power of micro-stories and small human moments in building trust How dietitians and health professionals can talk about weight loss, confidence, or personal struggles with integrity How to strip away who you think you need to be and show up with more presence How to build a brand that feels honest, human, and deeply connected to the people you want to serve Connect with Elizabeth: Website: https://www.elizabethsbrett.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethsbrett Learn more about Story Alchemy and Elizabeth's storytelling resources: https://www.elizabethsbrett.com Connect with Deanna: Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program?

We're diving headfirst into two weird news stories this week that prove the universe has a comedy writer, and that writer has been drinking Bot Booze again.First up, a man claiming to have the world's smallest penis launches a fundraiser for micropenis enlargement surgery, turning a very personal medical issue into a very public internet saga. Is it body positivity? Oversharing? A GoFundMe with a magnifying glass? Yes.Then we ride into the eerie woods of Mount Shasta, where horseback riders followed an “apocalyptic” soundtrack and discovered hidden solar-powered speakers blasting white noise, mantras, and possible mountain-mystic elevator music. Was it a spiritual project? A Lemurian conference call? Bigfoot's ambient playlist? The truth is somewhere between “deeply weird” and “please stop putting Bluetooth speakers in the forest.”Small claims, big sounds, strange mountains, stranger fundraisers, and enough bizarre energy to make your search history file for unemployment. Welcome back to Blurry Hysteria, where the weird news is real, the explanations are optional, and the Bluetooth demons have excellent battery life.Links & Resources

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary Lipovetsky sits down with Alison Cheperdak, etiquette expert, author, former lawyer, news anchor, White House staffer, founder of Elevate Etiquette, and Creator Method member, to unpack why modern etiquette is becoming one of the most important skills for creators and personal brands. Alison explains how creators may be quietly losing trust, opportunities, brand deals, and long-term credibility through small communication mistakes, from rude DMs and poor follow-ups to oversharing online and confusing “authenticity” with bad manners. She also breaks down why etiquette is making a comeback in 2026, how to show up more professionally online and offline, and why soft skills can be the difference between having an audience and building a real community. This conversation is a practical guide for creators who want to build a personal brand that lasts, communicate with more confidence, and become someone brands, audiences, and business partners genuinely trust.

Leslie John (Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing) is a behavioral scientist, Harvard Business School professor, and expert on privacy, self-disclosure, and decision-making. Leslie joins Armchair Expert to discuss growing up in Waterloo, Canada, training professionally in ballet as a child, and how her family's irrational penny-pinching sparked her fascination with human behavior. Leslie and Dax talk about why people are more open to revealing their dark secrets on a sketchy-looking website over a more official looking one, how one mortifying overshare helped her find lifelong mentors, and what parasocial relationships reveal about modern intimacy. Leslie explains why secrets take up cognitive space, how vulnerability creates trust through social risk, and why we may be better off sharing a little more than we think we should.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode of Tangent Station, hosts Kev and Whiz Bang Willis delve into the unconventional oversharing of Brian Johnson, a biohacker who publicly shares the intimate scientific analysis of his girlfriend's microbiome. The hosts engage in a lively back-and-forth, switching between various tangents from creative song references to humorous misunderstandings. They humorously critique Johnson's approach to romance, turning what could be private moments into public scientific reports. This lighthearted yet thought-provoking discussion also raises questions about how people share personal information online and the intersection between love and science.
This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi unpack why it can feel more upsetting when someone quietly backs out of a commitment than when they simply say no. A listener writes in after a friend offers to dog-sit, only to seemingly retract the offer without actually owning the change of heart. The hosts discuss the difference between setting boundaries and avoiding discomfort, why indirect communication can feel so invalidating, and how a little honesty can go a long way in preserving trust. Plus, they share advice for navigating disappointment when expectations don't match reality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
When a survivor speaks up, the world too often demands a 'perfect victim' before it offers belief, a painful reality that leaves many wondering if their truth will ever be enough. In this episode with Deborah Tuerkheimer, author of Credible: Why We Doubt Accusers and Protect Abusers, we hear about the “credibility complex,” including credibility discount and credibility inflation, rape myths, the “perfect victim” and “monster abuser” archetypes, and how victim-blaming and disbelief are reinforced by culture and legal rules. You'll also learn about underreporting, the “second assault,” trauma-informed investigation, expert testimony on trauma dynamics, and how loved ones can respond supportively when someone discloses abuse. Listen in to understand why credibility judgments are patterned and how believing, validating, and offering help can change what happens next. Listen and Learn: The credibility complex and how social power dynamics cause the credibility of marginalized individuals to be discounted while powerful individuals receive an inflated boostWhy society perpetuates rape myths and victim-blaming How the "perfect victim" myth is weaponized against survivors in the legal system How institutional disbelief and victim-blaming are systemic realities baked into the penal codeWhy cultural tropes and a deep-seated "care gap" cause society to minimize astronomical statistics, overstate the prevalence of false reports, and prioritize the futures of perpetrators over the lives of victims How the cultural myth of the "monster abuser" prevents fair credibility judgments by creating a false archetype of a deviant stranger How the justice system creates an institutional imbalance by weaponizing an accuser's personal history while shielding a perpetrator's past behavior How physical attractiveness acts as a "Goldilocks" trap for victims' credibilityWhy true progress relies on upending a systemic culture of impunity rather than relying solely on institutional training Resources: Credible: Why We Doubt Accusers and Protect Abusers https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780063002760Deborah's Website: https://www.deborahtuerkheimer.comAbout Deborah TuerkheimerDeborah Tuerkheimer is a professor at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law.

Have you ever felt like losing one person would destroy your entire life… even while the relationship itself was destroying you?In this episode of The BPD Bunch, Xannie, Carys, André, Mo, and Justin talk openly about the intense, chaotic, and often painful relationship patterns that can happen with Borderline Personality Disorder. From abandonment panic and toxic relationship cycles to oversharing, emotional testing, and confusing drama for intimacy, the cast explores what closeness looked like when their BPD symptoms were at their worst.This season, we're discussing BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD). Under the AMPD, difficulties with intimacy are considered part of impairments in interpersonal functioning, alongside empathy. To meet criteria for BPD in this model, a person must have difficulties in at least two areas of personality functioning: identity, self direction, empathy, or intimacy, along with four or more pathological personality traits, which we'll be discussing in more detail later this season.In this episode:* BPD and intimacy* Fear of abandonment* Toxic relationship dynamics* Push-pull relationships* Emotional dependency* Oversharing and testing people* BPD and friendships* Relationship obsession* Emotional reactivity in relationshipsIf you've ever confused emotional chaos with love, stayed in relationships that were hurting you, or felt terrified of someone pulling away, this episode is for you.In the first two episodes of the season, Dr. Carla Sharp, Dr. Frank Yeomans, and Dr. Alex Stein explain what the AMPD is, how it changes from the current categorical model, and how the BPD diagnosis is changing.

Name Your Distraction: "Troubleshooting" and the Neutral Labeling Practice In this episode, Juan asks everyone to identify the word they use for how they distract themselves and suggests choosing a neutral term without shame or pride. He describes his own pattern as "troubleshooting," citing examples like repeatedly adjusting camera setup, tinkering with Apple Music sync issues, and getting sidetracked during Zoom calls, even when he intended to record podcasts. He contrasts this with "triage," focusing on the most pressing priority, and consider whether his behavior reflects "tanking" (sacrificing short-term goals) or "trepidation" (nervous avoidance). Juan notes oversharing in medical appointments as another way distractions can derail the main objective. The core call to action is to name and observe one's distraction habit—neutrally—so it can be noticed and let go in the moment. 00:00 Name Your Distraction 00:55 Troubleshooting as Avoidance 01:39 Triage and Oversharing 02:30 Tanking or Trepidation 03:38 Why Troubleshooting Feels Fun 04:27 Neutral Labeling Practice 05:21 Values Versus Planning 06:48 Call to Action Wrap Up

They discuss the wastefulness of celebrity fashion culture and LA's impossible trends. Things get real discussing family dynamics, aging parents, and DJ's revelation that he's "no longer afraid of dying." They reflect on unexpected podcast growth including listeners in Mexico and urge everyone to engage on social media. Packed with passionate commentary on Hollywood Boulevard's decline, corporate takeover of LA, vacant storefronts, and why LA needs NYC-style rent control.

One of our favorite series is back. You sent us your wildest, messiest, most "wait… am I the problem here?" relationship stories. And we have opinions. We're talking about a wife who's been sharing intimate details about her husband with her entire family for years (but only good things, so it's fine… right?). A partner who was a little too honest about his wife's body (brutal). Neighbors banging on the ceiling mid-sex. And a whole lot more. Some of these had us genuinely torn. Others? Not so much.
What if oversharing isn't the real problem — and the quieter habit of holding back is what's keeping us, and our kids, from the connection we're looking for? Dr. Aliza Pressman sits down with Harvard Business School behavioral scientist and author Professor Leslie John to challenge one of the most widespread assumptions in modern parenting and culture: that the path to healthy relationships is learning to say less. It isn't. And understanding why could change how you show up with your partner, your colleagues, and your children. Professor John unpacks the surprising science behind self-disclosure, from the hidden cost of "TLI" (too little information) to how emotional literacy quietly shapes a child's ability to make friends, trust adults, and thrive, and why learning to reveal — adaptively, not recklessly — is one of the most important skills we can grow in our kids. What you'll learn: Why adaptive revealing is a teachable skill The parenting move that quietly teaches kids their feelings are something to hide, and what to do instead Why genuine curiosity, not performance, is the secret to helping your child make and keep friends Great Wolf Lodge: Bring your pack together at a Lodge near you.

Savannah is back with her dad, Todd Chrisley, for part two, and this time nothing is off limits. No politics, just real conversations that somehow swing from wild internet headlines to what actually matters in life.They dive into the culture we're living in right now, what we normalize, what we consume, and why it feels like the line between private and public keeps disappearing. From dating apps and “situationships” to social media oversharing, Todd doesn't hold back on what he thinks has gone sideways and Savannah isn't afraid to push back.But underneath the humor and chaos, this episode gets honest. Todd opens up about how his perspective on success, money, and happiness has completely shifted, what 28 months away from family taught him, and why peace matters more than anything you can buy. The conversation turns deeply personal as they talk about relationships, healing, and the kind of life you actually want to build before bringing someone else into it.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting our show!- Brooklyn Bedding: Go to https://www.brooklynbedding.com and use promo code UNLOCKED at checkout to get 30% OFF sitewide!- GoodGirlRX: Visit https://www.goodgirlrx.com and use code UNLOCKED15 to get 15% OFF at checkout!LET'S BE SOCIAL:Follow Savannah Chrisley:Insta: (https://www.instagram.com/SavannahChrisley)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@SavannahChrisley)X: (https://www.x.com/_itssavannah_)Follow Todd Chrisley:Insta: (https://www.instagram.com/toddchrisley)Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/toddchrisley)Follow The Unlocked Podcast:Insta: (https://www.instagram.com/UnlockedWithSavannah)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@UnlockedWithSav)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Most of us think oversharing is the problem. It's not. New research from Harvard reveals that the bigger threat to your relationships, your health, and your sense of belonging may be all the things you're choosing not to say.How many times today did something cross your mind that you chose to keep to yourself, a feeling you swallowed, a compliment you almost gave, a truth you pulled away from? That habit of holding back is doing far more damage than you realize, to your closest relationships, your wellbeing, and even your body.Leslie John is the James E. Burke Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, whose award-winning research on self-disclosure has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. In her new book, Revealing, she makes a compelling, science-backed case that most of us are dramatically undersharing, and it's costing us the very connection, trust, and intimacy we crave.In this conversation, you'll discover...A simple daily audit that reveals how much you're silently holding back, and why becoming aware of it alone can transform your closest relationshipsThe surprising research behind why revealing uncomfortable truths makes people trust and respect you more than staying silentA critical distinction between two types of openness that determines whether sharing at work builds your influence or puts you at riskOne easy, low-risk form of sharing that almost always deepens connection and takes just a few secondsWhy feeling confident that you truly "know" your partner might be the very thing keeping you from real intimacyIf you've been sensing a quiet distance in your relationships, or wondering why your closest bonds don't feel as deep as you'd like, this conversation will reshape how you think about everything you've been holding back.

How you think about getting older might be more powerful than you realize. Scientists have uncovered an unexpected connection between people's beliefs about aging and what happens to them as the years go by. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12150226/ We're often warned not to reveal too much about ourselves. Oversharing can make people uncomfortable, right? Maybe. But Harvard Business School professor Leslie John argues the bigger problem may actually be the opposite — sharing too little. In her book Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing (https://amzn.to/3ME0EVt), she explains how thoughtfully sharing personal thoughts, experiences, and vulnerabilities can strengthen relationships, build trust, and even improve professional success. Humans have a strange relationship with technology. Some innovations instantly become essential while others quietly disappear. New technology can spark excitement, fear, resistance, and creativity all at once. Vanessa Chang, Director of Programs at Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology and author of The Body Digital: A Brief History of Humans and Machines from Cuckoo Clocks to ChatGPT (https://amzn.to/4cqHjBE), explores how people historically absorb new technologies — and how those tools reshape the way we interact with each other and the world. When you buy new clothes, it feels natural to wear them right away. After all, they're brand new. But “new” doesn't necessarily mean clean. In fact, clothing can go through quite a journey before it reaches your closet — one that may make you think twice before wearing it straight off the rack. https://www.southernliving.com/should-you-wash-new-clothes-before-wearing-11885557 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Don't keep settling for clothes that don't last!

Jared is joined by Dr. Naomi Bernstein of the Oversharing podcast to unpack dating after divorce, performance anxiety, and whether taking intimacy slow signals emotional baggage. They break down an email from a 34-year-old woman dating a gentle, recently divorced man who says something “deeper than biology” is blocking intimacy. Then they debate if a flight attendant was right to tell a 30-year-old guy he's “too nice for casual dating.” Plus: performance anxiety, people pleasers, alpha vs beta energy, and why sexual chemistry doesn't always match long-term potential. Jared and Dr. Naomi get deep and at one point, when Jared asks Dr. Naomi to give him real advice about his own dating life! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

But playing it safe costs trust, influence, stronger negotiations, and deeper relationships because the line between “too much” and meaningful connection is further out than we think.
