Zell - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=81804225]: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Let's start 2025 off right with an episode about frogs! Thanks to Alexis and Eilee for their suggestions. Let's start with Eilee's suggestion, the paradoxical frog. The paradoxical frog is a type of tree frog that lives in South America. Like other frogs, it likes ponds and shallow lakes. Some individuals are green and some are brown, and a frog may have darker stripes or splotches, or might just be plain. The tadpoles eat algae and other tiny food, while the adults eat insects. As with most frogs, the paradoxical frog hatches into a larval stage called a tadpole or pollywog, which is fully aquatic. It later metamorphoses into its adult form as a frog. Most tadpoles start out very small and grow larger, then metamorphose into a juvenile frog which then grows to fully adult size. But while the paradoxical frog's tadpole starts out small, it can grow to as much as 11 inches long, or 28 centimeters! It's the largest tadpole in the world as far as we know. So how big is the adult frog if the tadpole is so enormous? About 3 inches long, or 7.5 cm, from snout to vent. That's why it's called the paradoxical frog, because a paradox is something that seems contradictory to expectations. Instead of the ordinary way of things, where a small tadpole grows into a bigger frog, in this case a big tadpole grows into a smaller frog. It's sometimes called the shrinking frog. One interesting detail is that not all of the tadpoles are that big. If a female lays her eggs in a small body of water that's likely to dry up, or that doesn't have a lot of food available, or if there are a lot of predators in the water, the tadpole metamorphoses quickly and doesn't grow very big. But if the tadpole is in a better location it matures much more slowly, which allows it to reach much larger size before metamorphosing. I should also mention that the 11-inch-long tadpole that is the largest ever measured was actually raised in captivity. In the wild, the largest paradoxical frog tadpole ever measured was 6 ½ inches long, or almost 17 cm. That's still really big, but not that ridiculously big. But the confusing thing is that the tadpole is big and bulky, up to four times the size of the adult frog. Where does all that mass go after it transforms? Early scientists who learned about the paradoxical frog wondered the same thing. They were so confused that they suggested that the frog actually came first and later metamorphosed into the tadpole, which then metamorphosed into a fish. But the main reason the tadpole is so long is its tail. When it metamorphoses into a frog, it absorbs the tail and therefore appears to shrink. The bulkiness of the tadpole's body matches the bulkiness of the frog's body. And unlike most frogs, which metamorphose into juvenile frogs that still have some growing to do, the paradoxical frog metamorphoses into a completely adult frog. It's as big as it will ever get and fully mature, ready to mate and lay eggs. Next, Alexis wanted to learn about the Vietnamese mossy frog. It lives in parts of Vietnam, Laos, and other nearby areas. It prefers mountainous rainforests and the female often chooses to lay her eggs in a tree hollow or even a rock cavity where water has collected. Instead of laying her eggs in the actual water, though, she lays them on rocks or branches above the water.

Sermon: Nic MerchantTheme Music: "Make My Day"   

Hey everyone, Sheevaun Moran here driving for Your Success. And I watch people, uh, I was speaking at something recently and I watch people have these conversations of how I am going to, but why I can't. And the paradox of that energy is so conflicting for your mind, your body, your organs. That paradox is kind of saying, okay, well, you know, you're gonna push ahead, but you're gonna stay behind. And really what that does to your energetic system, and it gets you in anxiety, it gets your head to ache, it gets your consciousness to shut down, it gets you ungrounded and keeps you further away from the thing that you want to achieve. So you have the how I can and why I can't paradox. And that paradox is kind of like a, a collecting, uh, energy of mind, body, and spirit. So your soul will say one thing, your brain will say something completely different. Your brain will totally, totally take you out of the soul conversation. 'cause the brain says, but I only see so much in my bank account. I only see problems ahead because I've seen problems before. So I'm gonna see the same problems ahead. But your soul is saying, I got you. This is what you're here for. You are here to deliver something amazing, something magical, and go ahead and develop and evolve and get what we're here to get and bring to the world. 'cause get is, you're gonna have to get some things in order to bring some things to the world. And you're gonna have to bring some things before you go and get things from the world. So the paradox of how I can't is such a problem. And I want you to consider about where you are doing this. Usually you're on a conversation and your soul is saying, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yum, yum. That's the right thing. That's the right thing. And then the money comes in and your mind is saying, oh, I can't, there's no way I have to think about it. I have to figure it out. I have to have to have to. And the truth of the matter is you've already figured out. You just are not willing to step through that paradox and that stepping through that paradoxes is going to get you the thing on the other side, the thing of health, the thing Of freedom, the thing of joy, the thing of abundance, the thing of fulfillment.

Paradoxical as it may seem, this is the thesis of Tryggvi Thorgeirsson and his team at Sidekick Health. As a medical doctor trained in Iceland in the 2000s, Tryggvi experienced rural medicine firsthand and what working as a general practitioner in a remote setting means. And he quickly found himself confronted with the limitations posed by the healthcare system at the time: Prescribing medications at the expense of other therapies where patients are guided toward healthier behaviors. The silos and impossibility of establishing a care plan that simultaneously takes into account multiple conditions. A purely reactive approach based on a brick-and-mortar model running out of steam. The emergence of smartphones and their potential as health companions became obvious to him. Based on this intuition, he co-founded Sidekick Health alongside his fellow physician and colleague Saemundur Oddsson. The company is now one of the leaders in digital therapeutics, offering a vast portfolio of therapies accessible from each patient's pocket, prescribed by thousands of doctors in Europe and the US. We talk with Tryggvi about the principles behind how these digital therapies work, how attention levers can be used to support long-term behavior change, and the growing impact these solutions have on individuals and healthcare systems. In the era of social media and the mental plague they represent, this episode brings a refreshing perspective on how dopamine can be used to put the health of individuals back in their own hands. Timeline: 02:35 - Tryggvi's background as a medical doctor and electrical engineer 04:05 - What felt missing in Tryggvi's rural medical practice 07:14 - Seeing early the potential of smartphones for healthcare 11:08 - Tryggvi's definition of digital therapeutics 13:44 - The impact of digital therapeutics on clinical outcomes and cost of care 16:44 - Driving behavioral change and medical education through timely bite-sized pieces and gamification 18:40 - Sidekick Health's approach to designing tailored and impactful digital health programs across multiple conditions 27:46 - Putting AI at the center of digital health programs and their usage 30:13 - Tryggvi's vision for the future of healthcare What we also talked about with Tryggvi: PINK! Prof. Pia Wülfing Pear Therapeutics Daniel Kahneman Harvard T.H.

In today's episode, Gina responds to a listener question about anxiety that seems to be brought about by feelings of comfort, relaxation and happiness. This is a common occurrence for people who struggle with anxiety and have been on the recovery path for some time. It really can be confusing and seem to not make any sense at all.

Dyer Chapters 0:23 Understanding Happiness and Anxiety 12:42 Anticipatory Anxiety and Its Impact 18:23 Strategies for Managing Anxiety Summary In this episode, I delve into the perplexing phenomenon of happiness triggering anxiety. Drawing from the experiences of listeners, I explore how it is not uncommon for individuals to experience panic or anxiety in moments that should be joyful, like vacations or celebrations. A poignant question from a listener highlights this issue, where she describes feeling anxious during a birthday dinner at Disney World despite the happiness surrounding her. This sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the underlying mechanisms at play in these paradoxical situations. When distress arises as one begins to relax or feel joy, it may seem counterintuitive, but I explain how our nervous system becomes accustomed to a persistent state of anxiety. For individuals who have experienced prolonged stress, the familiar state of elevated alertness becomes a comfortable baseline, a misguided notion of safety. As relaxation sets in, it can feel alien and even threatening, triggering a protective response. This leads to spikes in anxiety that may leave individuals questioning their progress in managing their emotional well-being. Throughout the discussion, I outline various factors contributing to this phenomenon. Many people who have relied on anxiety as a defense mechanism can feel vulnerable when expressing joy and relaxation, leading to an instinctive retreat into anxiety as a self-protective measure. Additionally, the fear that positive experiences will invariably be followed by negative outcomes can create a mental loop where one sabotages their own happiness in anticipation of disappointment. This anticipatory anxiety often manifests as an internal conflict between the desire to celebrate and the fear of potential anxiety spikes. Learn more about your ad choices.

From personal identity to the limitations of societal norms, we peel back layers of conditioning to reveal a more fluid, adaptable way of living. Learn how psychedelics and introspection can help dissolve barriers, offering clarity in moments of doubt. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking freedom not through control, but by recognizing its absence.

No one likes experiencing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, like anxiety. However, the more we fight our internal experience, the more likely it is to fight back. Rather than resisting the internal experience we don't want to feel, by urning towards them and even welcoming them - it can have a powerful positive effect, as Dr. guy explains.

Clausewitz wrote that there are three forces at work when a nation goes to war: “unbridled passion,” reason, and the play of chance and probability. Things only work well when each of these is held in equilibrium by the other two. The people, the government, and the military represent these forces and the government should, in theory, maintain that equilibrium. In practice, this never happens. Instead, the interplay among these is random and seemingly chaotic. Each aspect of the nation and the force it represents, must deal with friction within their group and friction from and within the other groups. The pendulum that swings among these power centers is also influenced by external forces including, but certainly not limited to, the enemy. This, with the friction described in the previous episode, adds to the apparent irrationality of war and generates diversions along the path to peace.   Reference: Clausewitz, C.

Gospel Reading: Matthew 4:18-23 At that time, as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left their boat and their father, and followed him. And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

Learn how to make big leaps forward using unconventional strategies like paradoxical moves and the minimum effective dose, and find out why hard work and talent alone might not be enough. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Success isn't just about hard work and talent; it can also be achieved through paradoxical moves and quantum leaps. Paradoxical moves involve taking unexpected actions that defy traditional thinking to solve problems in innovative ways. Embodying a future version of yourself that has already achieved your desired outcome can facilitate making a quantum leap. The minimum effective dose involves reaching goals and achieving success with the least amount of effort in the most efficient way possible.

"The continent's most violent country" is a phrase used in BBC News this week. In this episode, my guest scholar, Dr. Carmen Martinez Novo, takes us through the history of Ecuador's indigenous peoples and their struggles for equal rights and environmental rights, including an almost three-decade lawsuit against Chevron (initially Texaco). Of course, in this conversation, Dr. Martinez Novo will peel the history behind Ecuador's current state of violence - unprecedented for once a peaceful country. Dr. Martinez Novo is the author of Undoing Multiculturalism: Resource Extraction and Indigenous Rights in Ecuador (2021), which we discuss in this episode. And here is my conversation with Dr. Claudio Fuentes about Chile's modern history: https://bit.ly/HbN-S2E38s You can also watch our podcasts:

She touches on the paradoxical cycle of men pursuing women out of their league, bringing the women down to their league, then repeating the cycle with the next woman. The discussion emphasizes the importance of not allowing toxic relationships to derail personal goals, ambitions, and mental health. The podcast also addresses societal expectations of women, the idea of dating 'out of your league', and the concept of being 'selfish' as a woman. Elle explains that when she started putting herself first, her relationships, career, and personal life improved significantly. The podcast concludes with a strong message for women to not compromise their education, goals, or personal development for a relationship.
