This episode coincides with the release of the Canadian HIV Stigma Index Country Report, a major national, community-based research study shaped by the voices of more than 1,400 people living with HIV. The Index documents how stigma continues to affect people's lives in healthcare, relationships, work, and everyday interactions, and where meaningful change is still needed. Host James Watson and his guests reflect on what the Stigma Index has taught us, the impact of the report and what needs to change to reduce HIV stigma in Canada.

Having healthy relationships has many positive effects on various aspects of life, including mental and physical health, personal growth, and happiness. These relationships are associated with emotional support, enhanced self-esteem, reduced stress, and increased longevity. In contrast, unhealthy relationships can lead to health problems and discomfort. Healthy relationships create a sense of security and peace, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase self-confidence. In a healthy relationship, people support each other in achieving personal goals, which leads to personal growth and development. These relationships help people develop their communication skills and communicate more effectively with others.

In this episode of Doing Well, we explore the research behind video games and their relationship with digital social connectedness. While video games are often portrayed negatively in traditional media from claims of promoting violence to enabling harmful online interactions — this conversation focuses on their positive impact. Our guest, Hannah Gunderman, Ph.D., sheds light on how gaming can foster connection, creativity, and wellbeing in meaningful ways. Hannah Gunderman, Ph.D. is a researcher and educator specializing in video games and wellbeing, popular culture, and cultural geography. After spending most of their career in academia, they shifted to applied work in gaming, including serving as a Wellbeing Researcher at Lumi Interactive and now working in video game market research. Outside of work, Hannah Gunderman, Ph.D. enjoys hiking, spending time with pets, and playing classics like Skyrim and Oblivion. Throughout the episode, Hannah Gunderman, Ph.D. and host Sarah discuss how gaming can build social confidence, provide a sense of belonging, and even replicate “third spaces”, those comforting in-between places like cafés or libraries that offer community beyond home and work. They touch on the balance between enjoyment and overindulgence, noting that journaling can help players stay mindful of their emotions before, during, and after gaming. Together, they remind us that video games, when used intentionally, can be powerful tools for connection and joy.

We often hear about the negative effects of social media, but our next story looks its transformative impact for kaupapa Maori. Its power in connecting with Maori communities was highlighted in the recent Tamaki Makaurau by-election. Te Pati Maori which resoundingly won the seat, ran its campaign almost entirely online. However Labour relied on traditional methods like door-knocking and mainstream media. Auckland University Masters graduate Mia-Mae Taitimu-Stevens has examined this issue.

(The Center Square) – Cities that host the NFL Draft have seen small increases in hotel revenue in recent years but those gains are far smaller than what is claimed by teams, the National Football League and the marketing and tourism departments in local government have claimed. The first three cities to host the draft after it left New York saw insignificant changes in hotel stays during the event while host cities since 2019 have seen between $4 million and $6 million in hotel revenue increases due to the event, according to a new paper provided to The Center Square from economist E. Frank Stephenson from Georgia's Berry College.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Full story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/wisconsin/article_4bf85da5-df7a-4699-9805-eaeef0737f72.html

Mental illness (including struggles that don't meet a specific diagnosis) is a serious public health burden that affects a large proportion of people. This is true within EA as well as in the general population. In EA, as in any community, it's important for us to try to support those who are struggling. We sometimes see the theory that EA causes unusually bad mental health, but the evidence lightly points toward EA being good or neutral for the wellbeing of most people who engage with it. Most respondents say EA is neutral or good for their mental health There have been surveys done specifically about mental health and EA (2019, 2021, 2023), but these didn't aim to be representative of the EA population. The largest and most representative source is the EA Survey 2022, where most respondents indicated neutral or positive effects of their EA involvement on their [...] ---Outline:(00:41) Most respondents say EA is neutral or good for their mental health(02:51) Why might EA be good for wellbeing?(04:40) Why might it be bad?(05:25) Correlation and causation(05:59) Other fields also affect wellbeing(06:45) EA isnt one-size-fits-all(07:47) Resources--- First published: May 29th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/mfQoEaHeJzdH5u8Nc/positive-effects-of-ea-on-mental-health --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  This week, I talk about what happens when I actually let myself feel the tough emotions instead of shutting them down - a pattern that's shaped my life and my struggles with hoarding, self-harm, and eating disorders. After a thought-provoking conversation with Anna Sale on Death, Sex & Money last year, I started questioning whether avoiding feelings has helped or hurt me in the long run and have been trying to process that ever since! I share what it's like to sit with big emotions, experiment with messy ways to cope, and why feeling the feelings might just be a way forward. Avoiding Feelings Realisation that I tend to do anything rather than feel difficult emotions. Recent personal reflection and processing feelings over the past few months. Impact of mental health and a PTSD flare-up on my ability to manage feelings. Connecting Coping Mechanisms to Avoidance Experience with PTSD, self-harm, anorexia, and bulimia as different forms of not feeling or avoiding emotions. Insights from an interview with Anna Sale on Death, Sex & Money that linked these coping together as forms of avoidance. Acknowledgment that these strategies were more than just avoidance - also punitive, protective, and multifaceted. The Cost and Pattern of Emotional Avoidance Compartmentalising as a lifelong coping skill and its negative long-term consequences. Difficulty breaking the habit of not feeling and the impact on my sense of identity. Recognition that suppressing feelings can be as damaging as (or more damaging than) the feelings themselves. Actively Facing and Processing Feelings Engaging in therapy, journaling (both resentful and creative/collage style), and reading poetry to access emotions. Talking more openly with friends as a supportive measure. Forcing myself to do enjoyable activities (like getting outside), which helps counteract avoidance. Community, Connection, and Support Impact of Trauma and Suppression on Daily Life How PTSD and unprocessed sadness began affecting sleep, revealing that suppressing feelings is no longer effective. Discusses the challenge of letting oneself feel emotions, both by choice and when overcome involuntarily. The risks of being overwhelmed and the delicate balance between feeling and avoidance. Learning and Conversations About Emotional Acceptance Revisiting lessons from previous podcast guests about the counterproductivity of suppressing or over-intellectualising feelings. The concept that suppressed emotions may “come out sideways” through other behaviours, like self-harm or hoarding. Nuanced view of coping mechanisms - not labeling them as purely negative since they served protective purposes. Vulnerability, Shame, and Deepening Relationships Gradual willingness to share deeper, more distressing moments with friends. Examining the reasons behind the instinct to hide intense distress. How vulnerability leads to stronger, more meaningful connections. Positive Effects of Feeling the Hard Stuff Discovering that feeling hard emotions increases the capacity to feel positive emotions more deeply. Finding deeper love, joy, and beauty in everyday experiences. Recognising the importance of support systems when exploring difficult emotions. Reflection and Encouragement for Listeners Encourages listeners to be curious about their own patterns of avoidance and coping. Cautions that intentionally feeling emotions is difficult and requires support. The hopeful observation that allowing feelings can be cathartic, gratifying, and healing—even if it's uncomfortable.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are delving into the intriguing realms of daydreaming and visualization. Have you ever been caught staring off into space, only to snap back to reality and wonder where your mind wandered? Or perhaps you've been told to “visualize success” but aren't quite sure how that's different from a midday reverie. You're not alone! Daydreaming and visualization may seem like mental opposites—one feels like a carefree drift down a lazy river, while the other is more like a focused GPS for your goals. But what if I told you they both have a place in your life? In this episode, we're unpacking these two mental superpowers, exploring their differences, and discovering how to balance the benefits of dreaming big and thinking strategically. Let's turn those cloud-watching moments into life-launching plans. So, grab a comfy seat, let your thoughts meander (but not too far), and let's embark on this mental adventure together! To set the stage, let's clarify what we mean by daydreaming and visualization. Daydreaming is a spontaneous and unstructured flow of thoughts that can transport you away from the present moment. It's often a way to escape boredom or entertain oneself, allowing the mind to wander freely. On the other hand, visualization is a deliberate and structured mental process where you create vivid images or scenarios in your mind to achieve a specific goal or outcome. It's commonly used in practices like sports psychology and personal development to enhance performance and manifest desired results.  Mark Morgan goes a little deeper on the definition, Visualization is Like Daydreaming on Purpose found at Neuro Tracker Barbara Field  shares 5 Positive Effects of Daydreaming found at Very Well Mind On Dr. Tracey Marks' YouTube channel, she explains Maladaptive Daydreaming vs Mind wandering – How To Tell the Difference Activity: A Two-Part Mental Experiment Let's try an exercise to really understand the difference between these two mental activities. Grab a notebook or open a notes app, and let's go: Daydreaming Phase Set a timer for five minutes. Let your mind wander freely—no rules, no restrictions. Write down any thoughts, scenarios, or ideas that pop into your head. It doesn't have to make sense or have a purpose; just let your imagination flow. Maybe you're a world-famous chef, or you're living on a tropical island with a pet monkey. Go wild! Visualization Phase Now, reset your timer for another five minutes, but this time, focus on something you want to achieve. Picture it in as much detail as possible. What does success look like? How do you feel? What steps are you taking to make it happen? Write down the specifics of this visualization. Reflection: After the exercise, take a look at your notes. Your daydreams might feel playful, random, or even a little absurd, while your visualization notes should feel structured and goal-oriented. Notice how both have value—one sparks creativity and freedom, and the other drives focus and motivation. Bonus Insight: If you find yourself daydreaming too much when you're trying to visualize, that's okay! Your mind just needs a little training. Try grounding techniques like deep breathing or focusing on a specific object to bring yourself back to the present and regain control. This simple experiment helps you tune into how your mind works and gives you a clear sense of when to let it wander and when to focus it with purpose. It's not about choosing one over the other—it's about learning to use both effectively, like switching gears in a car. Sometimes, you need to cruise; other times, you've got to put the pedal to the metal! CHALLENGE: Harness the power of your mind by distinguishing between when to let it wander and when to focus it with intent. Embrace both daydreaming and visualization as tools to enrich your life and propel you toward your goals.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

One of the trends in the world of marketing is people try to create a place where everything's available. That's the idea of the modern mall, the idea behind 7-11, they try to figure out exactly what people need and then they put it all in one place. So, Kṛṣṇa has done that for us. Everything that's necessary or consumable anywhere within the three worlds is available in one place—that's through Japa. But you don't have to drive there and get it; actually, you don't have to go far—you just have to sit down anywhere and you can get it. So, it's one thing to keep in mind because the mind gets restless, thinking that it wants something else and it's available somewhere else. But if we become acquainted with actual clear philosophy that everything's available in one place, at the root, at the center cause, then we can reassure our minds that you don't have to go anywhere else because you're not going to, you're just going to lose your place in line—just stay here. And the other concept I'll talk about in a minute, but we can remember that everything's available. As Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura says, there's nothing else to be had in the fourteen worlds except the holy name. So keep that in mind if your mind wants to go shopping elsewhere—we already have the one-stop shopping The shastras, and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu emphasized so strongly how everything's included in the holy name. So that it's one time when we're chanting—it's not the one time—but we can give ourselves full permission while we're chanting to not think about going somewhere else. This is one of the ways to have successful japa: is to not divert the mind and go anywhere else. And if we're convinced that the holy name is all-inclusive—that everything I'm looking for is available in The Holy Name, it's cintāmaṇi—if I just stay in touch with the holy name, then I'll be transformed in a way that will be favorable. It's what everyone's looking for.

Questions about whether apologetics has had a positive effect on people and our culture, whether the longtime privatization of our Christian faith has led to churches becoming apathetic to the culture, and C.S. Lewis and Francis Schaeffer book recommendations. Do you believe apologetics has had a positive effect on people and our culture? Has the longtime privatization of our Christian faith led to local churches becoming apathetic to the surrounding culture, and if so, what is the solution? What top two books by C.S. Lewis and Francis Schaeffer would you recommend for getting started with each one?

In this episode 1 of a 6-part special series on sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience and psychology and founder of the Center for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of the book “Why We Sleep” discusses the essential role that sleep plays in our health. We cover how sleep affects our hormones, immune system, learning and memory, mood, appetite, and weight regulation. We also discuss what causes the urge to sleep, how sleep is structured throughout the night, and the biology of the different phases of sleep. We also teach you how to determine your individualized sleep needs, including your chronotype (best waking and to-bed time), tips for combat snoring and insomnia, and your QQRT (Quality, Quantity, Regularity, and Timing)—a key framework for optimizing your sleep and therefore daytime energy and focus, and overall health. The next episode in this special series explores how to improve one's sleep. For show notes, including referenced articles and additional resources, please visit hubermanlab.com.

We all know what it's like to be the provider, but how does it feel to be the patient? Have you ever stepped out of your PA-C labcoat and into the gown of being a patient, instead? What if I told you that I did this recently and, after having urgent/emergent surgery, I was blessed with a shiny new perspective. What if, in fact, the key to taking better care of our patients comes from being able to take a walk in their socks? Today I'm going to share my fresh perspective gained from being the one on the OR table instead of the surgery physician assistant performing the procedure. And I'm going to share with you what I learned as a part of this experience. Are you ready to challenge the notion that you know what it feels like to be the patient? If you are, then let's dive into this eye-opening exploration of gaining a new perspective, even if I came by it the hard way.  BURNOUT RISK ASSESSMENT tracybingaman.com/burnout-quiz 5 MISTAKES GUIDE https://www.tracybingaman.com/mistakes  COACHING 1-ON-1 NEGOTIATION CONSULT https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/negotiate  FREE 30-MINUTE COACHING CONSULT https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/gen-call   LINKS EPISODE BLOG POST https://www.tracybingaman.com/blog TRACY ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/mrstracybingaman/ON LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracybingaman/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepaisin/support

In this episode, my special guest Dr. Ryan Morrison and I talk about the game-changing impact of cloud-based systems in dentistry. With a whopping 12,000 patients over 22 years, keeping track of everything using traditional server setups is no easy feat.
