Seeing the world as a solo traveler pushes you to show up in a way only you can, as your most authentic self. And while the experience can be daunting, it welcomes opportunities for self-exploration and discovery. To be pushed out of your comfort zone in a place that’s not your home is a gift filled with moments that are sure to sharpen and evolve your mental health. In new and unfamiliar environments, you’re forced to rely on your instincts, make decisions independently, and answer the question, “What do I want?” The clarity that comes with being alone in the noise of a new city is the kind of clarity that can be hard to find in the busyness of our day-to-day lives. It’s in those quiet moments that can reveal new parts of ourselves. This is the final episode in our series of bonus episodes, presented by our partners at Chase Sapphire Reserve, focusing on travel, mental health, and the power of putting joy at the center of your life. We hope you've enjoyed them.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s transforming how we understand public health education in this country: childhood trauma and its lifelong impact on the brain and body. For decades, adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, like abuse, neglect, or exposure to violence, were often seen as just social or emotional issues. But research has revealed the science of something much deeper: these experiences can rewire a child’s developing stress response system, leading to increased risks of chronic disease, mental health disorders, substance dependence, and even incarceration later in life. Joining us for this conversation is someone who’s pioneered the charge in translating that science into statewide action. As California’s very first Surgeon General, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris helped put childhood trauma at the center of public health policy. She not only trained tens of thousands of providers to screen for ACEs, but pushed for major changes like linking juvenile justice reform to health equity. Dr. Burke Harris She brings a clinician’s insight and an advocate’s persistence to a conversation that challenges us to think bigger about prevention, healing, and what it really means to create environments that build holistically healthy and stable children.

Or smiling through discomfort because it felt safer than speaking your truth? That's not just people-pleasing—it's survival. Psychologist and author Dr. Ingrid Clayton calls it the fawn response: a trauma pattern where your body learns to appease, perform, or caretake as a way to stay safe. It's not a conscious choice—it's conditioning written into the nervous system when speaking up once felt dangerous. In this raw and illuminating conversation, Dr. Clayton joins Dr. G to explore: • What fawning really is — and why it's more than just “being too nice” • The childhood roots of fawning: when kids learn to appease to survive chaos, neglect, or abuse • Why fawning often gets misdiagnosed as codependency, people-pleasing, or “low self-esteem” • The hidden signs: hypervigilance, scanning the room for other people's moods, anxiety you don't even recognize as anxiety • Gaslighting yourself — how trauma survivors often minimize their own experiences with toxic positivity or “it wasn't that bad” narratives • Why setting boundaries can feel life-threatening — and why it must start with building safety inside your own body, not just “trying harder” • The link between fawning and anger: how unexpressed rage gets trapped in the body until you learn to give it voice • How fawning shows up in adulthood: in relationships where one person takes up 80% of the space and you squeeze yourself into the other 20% • Why siblings in the same household adapt differently — one might fight, another flees, another fawns, depending on role, temperament, and family dynamics • The gifts hidden inside fawning: heightened sensitivity, intuition, even artistry and performance — and how to reclaim those without losing yourself Dr. Clayton also shares her personal story: growing up in a chaotic home, becoming a therapist and author, and realizing that even after decades of training, she was still living out this survival response. Her journey shows how awareness, somatic work, and slow, safe practice can turn survival patterns into resilience and presence. If you've ever felt invisible, unheard, or like you're living for everyone but yourself—this episode will help you see that you're not broken. You're adaptive. And you can change.

Group travel can create incredible memories and deeper friendships, but it also exposes relationship dynamics that usually stay hidden. When you're sharing rooms and splitting costs, those little friendship quirks get magnified. The indecisive friend becomes a bigger challenge when deciding dinner plans. Budget conversations can't be avoided anymore. Here's the thing: when done thoughtfully, group travel can actually strengthen your bonds. It requires honest upfront conversations about money, boundaries, and expectations. It helps you recognize not just your travel style, but how you show up as a friend under pressure. Everyone brings their unique role on the trip, and recognizing these patterns transforms group dynamics. It's about creating space for authentic communication and developing skills to navigate challenges together.

20 Ways to Break Free From Trauma: From Brain Hijacking to Post-Traumatic Growth by Philippa Smethurst https://www.amazon.com/Ways-Break-Free-Trauma-Post-traumatic/dp/1805013106 Philippasmethurst.com 'An important and insightful contribution to the mental health literary landscape.' - Alastair Campbell Trauma is a wound - one that we often hide from ourselves and others. Philippa Smethurst - a psychotherapist with decades of experience - has written this compassionate and practical guide to help you to understand, process and move beyond trauma. The book explains twenty common ways that trauma can show itself - from dissociation and anger to brain hijacking and trust issues - but also how you can move on from them. Drawing on the latest brain- and body-based research, this book uses stories, poetry and reflective exercises, to give you the guidance and tools you need.About the author Philippa Smethurst is a psychotherapist specialising in trauma. She has worked in the NHS and as an external supervisor for charities. She has written for many publications, including the BACP journal Therapy Today and The Psychologist, the journal of the British Psychological Society. She trained at the Metanoia Institute, and is an advocate for Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. Her aim is to make psychological information accessible and creative, particularly the more hidden and subtle aspects of trauma. "20 Ways to Break Free from Trauma", which she describes as a Trauma Kit for a general audience, was published by Jessica Kingsley in November 2024. The book has been endorsed by human rights advocate and trauma survivor Sir Terry Waite who has also written the foreword. Philippa has worked in the field of homelessness and has an interest in promoting the ideas on trauma gleaned from her study and long psychotherapy practice for trauma mitigation. She travels widely to talk about her book in webinars and in person at various institutions in UK including Oxford University, Edgehill University, Banbury Therapy Group and St Martin-in-the Fields, London.

Today, in 2025, there are numerous mental health professionals on television and streaming podcasts who talk openly about the state of President Trump's mental health. They don't pull any punches, given the ample evidence from his public appearances and his frequent online diatribes. They say he has a personality disorder, that he's an antisocial malignant narcissist who's in serious cognitive and physical decline. The irony is that, back when I recorded this interview with forensic psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee, she and the other 27 contributors to their 2017 book The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump knew that they would be accused of violating the American Psychiatric Association's "Goldwater Rule." This principle states that psychiatrists are prohibited from offering opinions on the mental state of individuals that they have not personally evaluated. This rule was created after, in 1964, Fact magazine published a survey asking psychiatrist to state whether they thought presidential candidate Barry Goldwater was psychologically fit to be President. The survey's results led to widespread ethical concerns and public outcry, prompting the APA to develop a formal set of ethics rules for its members. However, in her book and in the part of our conversation that was unfortunately edited out, Dr. Lee asserted that if a mental health professional saw someone publicly and repeatedly displaying behavior that gave her or him cause for concern, they have every right to sound the alarm, even ask the authorities to put the person in a 72-hr involuntary hold for evaluation. But Yale Medical School and the courts did not agree with her, and she was shown the door. That was just 3 years ago. And yet, as I stated up front, mental health professionals are publicly calling out Trump's mental health problems and not suffering any consequences. As you listen to Dr. Lee, I think you'll agree that she and the other writers correctly described and predicted the how problematic it would be if Trump were put in power.

The Psychology of Self-Injury: Exploring Self-Harm & Mental Health
Two topics are covered in this episode: (1) how parents with lived experience of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) can navigate conversations with their children about their own scarring and wounds, and (2) how parents (with or without lived experience) can navigate conversations about self-injury with their young adult children when they turn 18. Dr. Whitlock is emerita research faculty at Cornell University, a former Associate Director of the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research, and the founder and director of the Self-Injury & Recovery Resources (SIRR) research program, which serves as one of the best and most comprehensive collations of online resources about self-injury: www.selfinjury.bctr.cornell.edu. It is a go-to resource for parents, therapists, friends, family members, schools, other caring adults, the media, and individuals with lived experience of self-injury.

Dr. Laura welcomes Pamela Buchanan, the Founder of Quantum Sense, to the podcast to discuss the innovation of Soul Health and why it's a missing component in today's workplaces. Pam worked in corporate America, including at Nasdaq, for over forty years before investing over a decade of research into the concepts and framework for Soul Health. Pam defines what the soul is and how nourishing it is connected to workplace environments and individual well-being. A three-step program called Ground, Elevate, Evolve is one of the main focuses of Pam's business, Quantum Sense. Pam asserts that people are not grounded in themselves and don't know themselves at a deep level, a soul level. Part of reaching the soul is rooted in aesthetics - smell, touch, sound - and how these variables affect each individual differently. Pam's research into how the sensory information in our environments calibrates with our nervous systems highlights aspects of neuroaesthetics and sound engineering, showcasing a system rooted in neuroscience more than religion. Pam and Dr. Laura explore the key trio of soul, mind, and body in their conversation and why neglecting the soul contributes to unhealthy workplaces. “You know, it has been more difficult than I thought to get business because I speak directly about the soul, and it's just not a common term that you see in business every day. And that's why I try to say no, it's a part of a person that they bring into work every day. You've tackled the physical; you wouldn't want an unhealthy workplace, so you give them tools to keep their physical presence healthy. Why wouldn't you give them tools to keep their soul presence healthy?” - Pamela BuchananAbout Pamela Buchanan:Pam Buchanan, the founder of Quantum Sense, stands at the intersection of corporate prowess and soulful innovation. With over 40 years of experience in corporate America, including pivotal roles at Nasdaq where she worked closely with tech titans like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, Pam brings extensive experience to the table. Her journey to Quantum Sense began with a profound assertion: that the modern world is missing a focus on a very vital contributor to success, Soul Health. This insight spurred over a decade of research culminating in her innovative concepts and frameworks. Pam's background uniquely positions her to understand the evolving corporate landscape and the benefit of putting an emphasis on a connection to the senses to drive Soul Health and holistic wellbeing at work. Pam has developed programs tailored for companies that are proven to enhance employee well-being, reduce anxiety, and boost creativity, ultimately fostering a more satisfying work-life balance. Covering topics from neuro-aesthetics to sound engineering, Pam explores how these can be used to benefit the soul from the outside in, through the gateway of the senses. As a podcast guest, Pam offers a unique perspective rooted in her corporate experience, deep understanding of Soul Health, and her commitment to ushering in a future where individuals thrive both personally and professionally with Soul Health valued as widely as physical health and mental health.Resources:Website: TheQuantumSense.comLinkedIn: Pam-Buchanan“Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us” by Susan Magsamen and Ivy RossLearn more about Dr. Laura on her website: https://drlaura.liveFor more resources, look into Dr. Laura's organizations: Canada Career CounsellingSynthesis Psychology Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. John Gartner, former Johns Hopkins professor and co-host of the podcast ‘Shrinking Trump,' joins the Beast's Joanna Coles to deliver a chilling diagnosis: Donald Trump is showing signs of dementia layered on top of malignant narcissism. Drawing on decades of clinical expertise, Dr. Gartner explains how Trump's declining language, erratic gait, and disturbing anecdotes point to brain deterioration that makes him not just unpredictable but uniquely dangerous in office. Coles presses him on how Trump's narcissism compares to King Charles' public persona, whether his cabinet and family are retreating from his volatility, and what it means when a leader with nuclear codes also displays symptoms of mini-strokes and confabulation. From Hitler's psychology to Bill Clinton's benign narcissism, this episode explores how power amplifies paranoia, cruelty, and decay—and asks the starkest question of all: as Trump weakens physically and mentally while tightening his grip on authority, how far can Trumpism go before it breaks America?

When it comes to marginalized intersectional identities, Black women and women of color are no stranger. But if we zoom out, what does that experience look like across systems, access, and paychecks? Today we're excited to be joined by economist, advocate, and author Anna Gifty. She’s here to talk about her new book, ‘The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid,’ a powerful, data-driven exploration of the hidden costs of being both a woman and a racial minority in today’s economy.

True Crime Tuesday Presents Crime And Unusual Punishment: The Psychological Realities Of Federal Prison w/Former Psychologist/Author, Paul Smith! Paul Smith was a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud and in his new book, confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. On today's episode, we sit down with Paul and talk to him about the psychological effects of the prison system on the average inmate, whether every inmate is redeemable, and changing over the prison system from a punitive system to a truly reformative one and what model should be used as an example. We also relive Paul's story and recall the pitfalls that led to his downfall... PLUS DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS WITH JESSICA FREEBURG!

This Flashback Friday and 10th episode is from Creating Wealth 410, published last September 8, 2014. Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler is a doctor of psychology with over 45 years of pioneering brain/mind research experience. In addition to teaching mind power methods in universities and corporations, she was invited by former President Jimmy Carter to support his Special Commission on Women in Business, was invited to serve as a Pentagon consultant focused on business communications, and has authored over 30 books and hundreds of articles in both business and individual success categories. Unlike other personal development approaches, her focus is on refining brain/mind power to create more successful action. Instead of presenting strategies that never work in the real-world, you'll get genuine science-based information that can be immediately implemented. Learn more by scrolling down the page to check out Dr. Jill's books, audio books, and other materials. In her books, audio books and programs, Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler provides insights and action plans for every area of your life: from higher states of awareness to personal achievement ... from instant stress management to healthy longevity ... from enhanced mental performance to mind/brain enhancement. Getting more satisfaction in life does not necessarily result from taking the latest personal growth program. True, this set your feet on a more productive path. BUT...true lasting success only happens when you commit to direct your thoughts and actions every day. In other words, your daily mental habits and resulting actions are what help you create the life and business conditions you want. When not writing or teaching, Dr. Jill enjoys artistic pursuits, gardening and being out-of-doors, good conversation, home and garden design, and kayaking and skiing.

This week, we’re discussing a crisis that’s disrupting lives across the country: the escalating wave of deportations tearing families apart and dismantling the fragile sense of safety many immigrants cling to. For this conversation I’m joined by Catherine Labiran, a writer, organizer, and research manager whose work lives at the intersections of immigration justice, Black liberation, and mental health. Catherine has spent her career advocating for Black immigrants whose stories are too often erased from national conversations. During our conversation, Catherine and I discussed the emotional toll of migration, the resilience of African and Caribbean diasporic communities, and explored the ways art, community care, and protecting joy become lifelines in the face of racism and erasure.
