The Caleb Flynn murder trial has produced evidence, testimony, and more than 107,000 text messages. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski not to relitigate the evidence but to read the psychology — a three-part interview that traces the arc from church volunteer to murder defendant through the relationship that allegedly drove it.Part one starts where the relationship started: CLC church in Miami County, Ohio. Flynn was 36, married, embedded in worship leadership. Botner was 21 and interning. Scott maps the power imbalance — the age gap, the spiritual “halo effect,” the “roommate” narrative — and explains why each detail is a clinical finding, not just a biographical footnote. The AI-generated love songs and matching Harry Potter tattoos that sound absurd in a courtroom are the gestures Scott calls most significant.Part two follows the eighteen-month holding pattern. Flynn wanted his wife, his children, his church reputation, and his mistress — simultaneously and permanently. Botner set a January deadline for him to leave Ashley. He ignored it. She left. On Valentine's Day, he returned. Scott explains the intermittent reinforcement and the sunk-cost fallacy that kept Botner locked in despite receiving nothing she'd been promised.Part three confronts the 107,000 texts and their escalation. Botner testified under oath that she texted “I want to kill her” about Ashley. The public debate over her complicity has split hard. Scott reads both sides, then turns the lens: if Flynn had chosen to stay with Ashley, how safe was the woman carrying all of his darkest admissions? Scott says the danger ran in both directions — and identifies when this stopped being a relationship and became something lethal.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One hundred and seven thousand text messages. An escalation from marriage complaints to “I want her dead.” A mistress who testified she texted “I want to kill her” about her boyfriend's wife. And a question the public can't stop arguing about. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to answer it — and to ask one the complicity debate has missed.Scott traces the normalization that turned the text thread between Caleb Flynn and Alleigha Botner into a space where discussing Ashley Flynn's death felt ordinary. The pattern is specific: each message escalated only slightly past the previous one. Over eighteen months and 107,000 exchanges, the cumulative shift was enormous. From inside the conversation, it was invisible. Scott explains how repeated exposure desensitizes both participants until language that would've been unthinkable in month one feels like nothing in month fifteen.The complicity question lands next. Botner says she was pushing for divorce, not death. Flynn's alleged actions suggest he heard something different. Scott reads both psychologies: Botner's escalating frustration with a man who wouldn't leave, and Flynn's specific profile — a man for whom divorce threatened his public image more than murder threatened his conscience. When those two met, Scott says the outcome became a function of Flynn's priorities, not Botner's words.Then the turn. If Flynn had changed his mind and recommitted to Ashley, where did that leave Botner? She carried eighteen months of texts documenting his most dangerous thoughts. She was the only person alive who knew what he'd written. Scott explains why the person holding the secrets is in a specific kind of danger — and why this affair had passed the point where safety existed for either woman in Flynn's life.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One hundred and seven thousand texts. That's the volume of communication between Caleb Flynn and Alleigha Botner over eighteen months — and somewhere inside that thread, wishing Ashley Flynn dead became routine. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to trace how that happened, what Botner's role actually was, and the part of this case most people aren't examining.Scott starts with the normalization. An escalation that dramatic doesn't happen in one jump. It happens in thousands of small ones. Each text pushes the boundary slightly past where it was, and because the shift is gradual, neither person inside the conversation registers the distance they've traveled. Scott explains the clinical process — how repeated exposure to language desensitizes both the person saying it and the person hearing it, until “I want her dead” carries the emotional weight of a complaint about traffic.Botner testified she texted “I want to kill her” about Ashley. She said she didn't mean it. The public is debating whether she was complicit in murder or simply venting about a situation she wanted resolved through divorce. Scott gives that question a clinical frame. She says the distinction depends on whose psychology you're reading — and that Flynn's specific profile, where his public image mattered more than any person in his life, made murder the option that preserved what he valued most.Then Scott turns the lens. If Flynn had decided to stay with Ashley, how safe was the woman carrying eighteen months of texts that documented his most dangerous thoughts? Botner was the one person who could destroy him. Scott explains why the person with the secrets is always in a specific kind of jeopardy — and why this affair had crossed a threshold where both women were at risk.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She was 21. He was 36 and married with children. They met at a church where he volunteered on the worship team and she was an intern. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to explain why every one of those details matters — and why they mattered before Caleb Flynn ever sent a text message about his wife.Scott starts with the age gap. At 21, Alleigha Botner's brain was still developing the capacity to evaluate risk and read long-term consequences. Flynn was a decade and a half ahead of her with a marriage, children, and a reputation he'd built at CLC church in Miami County, Ohio. Scott says that differential alone creates a power gap most people outside clinical practice don't fully appreciate.The church multiplied it. Scott explains how spiritual authority creates what clinicians call a “halo effect” — a shortcut where a man's connection to worship becomes a proxy for trustworthiness. Red flags don't land as warnings. They land as signs of a deep bond. When Flynn told Botner his wife was “just a roommate,” that narrative hit a 21-year-old in a church environment differently than it would've anywhere else. Scott says it activated a fixing instinct — the pull to rescue instead of run.Flynn gave Botner AI-generated love songs. They got matching hidden Harry Potter tattoos. Scott says those gestures aren't just immature or theatrical — they're the construction materials for a fantasy world where two people live inside a shared secret. The secrecy the affair demanded finished the job. Botner couldn't turn to the friends or family who would've seen through it. A psychotherapist can see the design. Scott explains why Botner couldn't.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Family conflict doesn't stay at the kitchen table. It follows you into the boardroom, the paddock and every important decision the business needs to make.A farming family may look productive from the outside while resentment, avoidance or unresolved tension quietly slows decisions and limits what the business could become. The cost is not always a failed deal or a lost property. Often, it is years of lost momentum that never appears on the balance sheet.In Episode 135 of the AgriCoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, Ben speaks with family business psychotherapist Tom Skotidas, director of everpath, about the patterns that develop when family relationships, business expectations and ownership become intertwined.Tom explains why people cannot simply compartmentalise problems at home and perform differently at work. The same patterns—anger, withdrawal, people-pleasing, overworking or avoiding difficult conversations—inevitably appear in business decisions, leadership and family business succession.But what happens when only one or two family members believe there is a problem? Can anything genuinely change if Dad, Mum or another key person refuses to take part?Tom offers a perspective that challenges the tendency to identify one person as “the problem.” Every family member plays some part in the pattern, even through silence or withdrawal. That also means one person changing how they respond can begin shifting the wider family system.Ben and Tom also discuss why anger is often covering something deeper, how unresolved family patterns affect business performance, and when a trusted adviser or succession facilitator may be enough—and when a family may need more specialised help.If your family keeps returning to the same arguments, avoiding the same subjects or struggling to separate family history from business decisions, this conversation may help you see what is really happening beneath the surface.About: Tom Skotidas is a family business psychotherapist and the director of everpath. Working with individuals, key pairs, and groups, Tom helps business families resolve entrenched conflict patterns, repair relationships, and thrive as a system. He is also the author of the newsletter Family Business Therapy. If this podcast has ever added value to your farming business, we'd love for you to leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.https://pod.link/1598835360-----------------------Ben Law is a coach to some of Australia's most successful farming families.

Two cases. Three conversations.Prosecutors in the Caleb Flynn murder trial say the former worship pastor sent more than 100,000 messages to his mistress, some allegedly describing plans to kill his wife Ashley. At the same time, they say, he was texting Ashley love messages. His defense attorney conceded the affair and told the jury: being a terrible husband doesn't make you a murderer.Bryan Kohberger confessed to the Idaho student murders, was sentenced to four life terms, and is now claiming from prison that the confession was coerced. His family released a statement to ABC News backing his bid for a new trial.Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine both cases through a clinical lens. What goes through the mind of a mistress who reads those messages and stays? What does the pastoral persona tell a therapist about the ego underneath? And is the Kohberger family acting out of genuine denial, or is Bryan running a manipulation campaign from his cell?Flynn has pleaded not guilty.

We're joined by two researchers, Dr Nicola Spurling and Professor Cristina Archetti, for a conversation that goes right to the heart of why the Full Stop exists. Nicola is a sociologist at Lancaster University who's turned her attention to childlessness. Cristina is a professor, psychotherapist, and the author of two books on involuntary childlessness, including her brand-new release, The Trauma of Infertility. Together they talk about what it really means to bring your story into your research, why childlessness isn't a single moment but a process that runs through an entire life Meet Our Guests Nicola Spurling Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Lancaster University "In my current work I explore how, over the past fifteen years, childless people have increasingly used autobiography and storytelling to share experiences, develop knowledge and make sense of childless lives collectively. I'm interested in what happens when social researchers take that knowledge seriously — not simply as material for research about childlessness, but as something that can raise new questions and reshape what researchers think it is important to study."

Caleb Flynn sang on American Idol, led worship for over a decade, ran his wife's family business, and presented the picture of a devoted husband and father. Prosecutors in Miami County, Ohio, allege the man behind that image shot his wife Ashley in the head while she slept. They say he staged it as a burglary while maintaining an affair with more than 100,000 messages to his mistress.His defense attorney told the jury that Caleb Flynn is a terrible husband who said terrible things to keep a girlfriend happy, but that doesn't make him a killer.Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine the ego behind the altar. True crime is full of charismatic spiritual leaders who commit violence under the cover of community trust. Scott breaks down what the pulpit gives a person with a certain kind of ego, how a church environment creates loyal cover, and what happens when a narcissist's congregation becomes his courtroom audience.Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger confessed to the murders of four University of Idaho students in July 2025 as part of a deal to avoid the death penalty. He was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences. One year later, he filed a handwritten petition claiming the confession was coerced and that he is actually innocent.Now his family is publicly backing him. In a statement to ABC News, the Kohbergers said their support comes from their need to see "the complete and unvarnished truth." They want a proper trial. The Goncalves family responded by calling Kohberger "a mosquito you just can't seem to swat."Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine the psychology of a family choosing the public spotlight after everything they've already endured.

Former American Idol contestant and worship pastor Caleb Flynn allegedly sent more than 100,000 messages to his mistress in the year before his wife Ashley was found shot to death inside their Tipp City, Ohio, home.

Prosecutors allege Caleb Flynn sent more than 100,000 messages to his mistress in the year before his wife Ashley was found shot to death in their Tipp City, Ohio, home. Among those messages: texts where Flynn allegedly described trying to figure out how to kill Ashley without going to jail. At the same time, prosecutors say, he was sending Ashley warm, loving messages.Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine what happens in the mind of a woman who receives messages like that from a married lover.

Every Sunday, Caleb Flynn stood in front of a congregation and led worship. He appeared on American Idol and talked about how much he loved his wife. He worked at Ashley's family company. The community saw exactly the man he wanted them to see.Now prosecutors in Miami County, Ohio, allege that same man was sending his mistress texts about killing Ashley without going to jail, and ultimately shot her in the head while she slept. His defense attorney conceded the affair and told the jury: being a terrible husband doesn't make you a murderer.Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine the fierce loyalty congregations develop toward charismatic leaders and how it blinds them.

Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder in the Idaho student killings and is serving four consecutive life sentences. A year after his plea, he filed a handwritten petition claiming he was pressured into a false confession by his own attorneys.His family just made a public move. In a statement to ABC News, the Kohbergers say they fully support his bid to withdraw the guilty plea. They want the case resolved through "a proper trial."Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine the timing and the psychology. Why go public now, when silence is safer? Is this genuine denial from parents who cannot reconcile their son with a quadruple murderer, or is Bryan manipulating the people who saved his life from the death penalty into serving his next campaign? And does that unwavering family support embolden a convicted killer's belief that he was wronged?The first evidentiary hearing on Kohberger's petition is scheduled for June 2027.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger's family has entered the fight. In a statement exclusive to ABC News, the Kohbergers declared their full support for Bryan's bid to withdraw his guilty plea in the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. They said they want "the complete and unvarnished truth" told through a proper trial.Kohberger himself claimed in his petition that his former attorneys coerced him into confessing falsely. He's written that his parents and sisters were present for many of the discussions with his legal team before the plea. In his affidavit, he points to his family's involvement as proof that the pressure was real.Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine whether a highly narcissistic offender can orchestrate his own family as a PR operation from a prison cell. Is the family's statement genuine grief and denial, or calculated messaging? And what does Bryan Kohberger's psychology look like when the people who saved his life from the death penalty now publicly validate his claim that he never did it?A hearing on Kohberger's petition is set for June 2027.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

BONUS: Real-Time Research for Change Leaders Using AI AI is changing how Scrum Masters, Agile coaches, and change leaders make sense of organizations. In this BONUS episode, Ari-Pekka Skarp shares how he uses AI as a research assistant, a workspace partner, and a way to bring qualitative research into day-to-day change leadership. From Curiosity to Research Assistant "It felt like having a research assistant."   Ari-Pekka's first serious AI use did not start in his full-time change leadership role. It started with side projects, research, psychotherapy-related work, and watching his son build websites with Lovable. That curiosity became practical when Ari-Pekka began using AI to support his PhD research. Instead of spending a full day scanning articles, he could find relevant sources, generate useful summaries, and decide where to go deeper in about half an hour. The key was not that AI replaced his judgment. Because he already knew the research area, he could evaluate the quality of what the AI returned and use it as a complement to his own expertise. AI Expands the Research Surface "With the help of AI, I could actually make a little more of these sidetracks."   One of the biggest changes Ari-Pekka noticed was that AI made side paths cheaper to explore. In research and change work, we often ignore interesting but uncertain threads because time and attention are limited. AI gave him a way to examine adjacent ideas without losing the main direction. At the same time, he points out a real risk: AI can guide us toward something too quickly. Sometimes a slower, more intuitive decision is more aligned with the deeper research goal. For Scrum Masters and coaches, that is an important distinction: AI can widen the field of inquiry, but it should not quietly take over the choice of where to look next. Workspaces for Change Leadership "I can create this kind of bird's eye perspective of the organization or the given project quite quickly."   Ari-Pekka describes a major shift when he started using Visual Studio Code and AI agents as a workspace for knowledge work, not only for software. In his workspaces, he organizes goals, themes, source material, Jira data, Confluence material, meeting notes, and other organizational signals so that AI can help him analyze and visualize the big picture. This gives him a practical way to represent relationships, dependencies, open threads, and organizational responses to interventions. For change leaders, the point is not the tool itself. The deeper idea is to structure the work so AI can help process the data while the human still owns the interpretation. Bringing Qualitative Research Into Daily Change Work "I try to form a hypothesis of what I find from the data, and then I see whether those hypotheses are correct or not."   Ari-Pekka uses his qualitative research background to teach AI how to process organizational data in a consistent way. He is not just asking for a summary. He is thinking like a researcher: what is the question, what data is available, what method should be used, and what output format will make interpretation possible? Vasco connects this to the work Scrum Masters already do: hypothesis thinking, looking for evidence beyond our own biases, and using data to test what is really happening in the system. AI makes it possible to bring those research habits into day-to-day work, instead of reserving them for long academic projects. PDCA With Larger and Messier Data Sets "Now we can just use far more extensive data sets from many different sources and integrate it with the help of AI."   Ari-Pekka links AI-supported change work to PDCA: plan, do, check, act. The cycle is familiar, but the available data has changed. Teams and organizations now generate large amounts of textual, conversational, and workflow data across tools like Jira, Teams, Slack, and Confluence. AI can help integrate those sources, but Ari-Pekka warns that organizations are missing an understanding of research methodology. When the same AI tool can produce different answers from the same data, small changes in the research question, method, and prompt matter. Scrum Masters do not need to become full-time researchers, but they do need enough discipline to ask better questions and separate method from interpretation. A Small Experiment: Analyze Power Relations in Meeting Transcripts "With the help of AI, anybody can have a little bit of this kind of experiment in real time."   For a practical experiment, Ari-Pekka suggests starting with meeting transcripts, with explicit consent from the people involved. A Scrum Master or Agile coach can ask AI to perform a power-relation or discourse analysis of the conversation and look for patterns in who speaks, who defines the agenda, which ideas are ignored, and how decisions emerge. Organizational psychologists and researchers have studied these dynamics for years, but the work has traditionally been slow and specialized. AI makes it possible to try a lightweight version of that analysis quickly, then use the results as a prompt for reflection, not as a final judgment. About Ari-Pekka Skarp Ari-Pekka is not only a very experience Agile Coach, but he's also a Psychotherapist, and Organizational Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with organizations. As an author of several books on topics such as Complexity, the mind, and Mindfulness, Ari-Pekka blends deep psychological insight with practical expertise to help leaders and teams navigate the evolving landscape of work.   You can link with Ari-Pekka Skarp on LinkedIn.

This week on the podcast, I'm joined by psychotherapist Triaha MacHale to talk about neurodiversity in women. We chat about why so many women are only discovering they're neurodivergent in adulthood, why it has historically been missed or misunderstood, and some of the signs that might be more than simply being busy, stressed or overwhelmed. We also talk about masking — what it is, what it can look like in everyday life, and how women can become so used to masking that they don't even realise they're doing it.

Most people wait for the right moment, the right feeling, the right amount of information before they change. But my guest today says it all starts when you confront the seven uncomfortable truths that are holding you back. My guest is Kier Gaines, a licensed professional counselor who reaches more than 40 million people on social media every month. His new book is It All Starts When You Do. Some of the things we discuss are: Why waiting for the right moment costs you the life you want The difference between accountability and self-blame Why self-awareness alone almost never leads to change (and what actually does) The seven uncomfortable truths and why the first step isn't fixing them, it's getting curious about them Why affirmations can make you feel worse Why overwhelm is often a failure of systems, not a failure of your capabilities The five stages of behavioral change and why knowing which one you're in changes what you should actually do next Why "I only date healed people" misses how humans actually work Why distress tolerance might be the single most important skill for growing mentally stronger The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for starting when you're not ready Related Episodes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠86 — The 6 Stages of Change: How to Transform Your Life ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠332 — Should You Sit With Your Feelings or Change How You Feel?

Hi everyone and welcome back to Everymum the podcast, I'm Aisling Keenan. My guest this week is Bronagh Starrs. Bronagh is a psychotherapist, expert in contemporary adolescent mental health. She's also an author and she has spent decades working with young people and their families. Her new book, I Can't Go In, is about something that an increasing number of parents are finding themselves dealing with: school anxiety, and what happens when a child becomes so anxious that they simply cannot get through the school gates. So I wanted to talk to Bronagh about what school anxiety actually looks like, how you can tell the difference between a child who doesn't want to go to school and a child who genuinely can't face it, and why some of the things we instinctively do as parents: reassuring them, encouraging them, bargaining with them or putting pressure on them, which don't necessarily help. We talked about what parents should do when the school run becomes a daily battle, the role schools can play, why some children are particularly vulnerable to school anxiety, and whether things like neurodiversity and parenting styles can play a part. And, importantly, we talked about what schools can do to help. Because understanding that your child is anxious is one thing, knowing how to help them through it is another. This is my conversation with Bronagh Starrs – enjoy and I'll be back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if part of the drive that built your company began as a childhood defense mechanism?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Dr. Gillian O'Shea Brown, a psychotherapist, complex trauma specialist, and NYU adjunct faculty member whose second book, Psyche's Awakening, comes out in September. Founders started finding her without her ever setting out to work with them, and she explains what she has noticed in that rare window into a guarded mind: that success often functions as a thermostat for psychological safety, and that the goalpost tends to keep moving even after the exit.They explore whether healing your wounds costs you the edge that got you here, what a gut feeling actually is and how Gillian connects intuition with nervous-system regulation, and why some companies rely more on process and less on intuition as they scale. Gillian also walks through how she helps people find the patterns underneath their behavior, using questions Marc and Ben put to her about their own lives.If you're a founder wondering what's underneath your drive, an operator trying to build somewhere that feels psychologically safe, or anyone curious how childhood patterns show up at work, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

The thing you once wanted became the thing you have to do — and the moment it did, it stopped being fun.Psychotherapist and Jungian analyst Gary Trosclair calls this the Should Effect: the quiet process by which genuine desire hardens into rigid obligation. You start with a choice, and end up with a commandment — enforced by an internal "hit man" of humorless self-discipline that was supposed to help you, but now runs your life.Drawing on three decades of practice, this episode explores how driven, perfectionistic people lose the very thing that motivated them:

Glenn Hutchinson, a psychotherapist who developed the personality science behind the assessments used by Match.com, explores one of the most misunderstood aspects of infidelity: why people sometimes violate their own values without fully understanding how they arrived there. The conversation begins with a broader look at human behavior. Glenn explains that much of what drives our decisions happens outside conscious awareness. Using the familiar experience of driving on "autopilot," he argues that our unconscious mind is constantly shaping our judgments, emotions, and interactions long before we recognize it. As he puts it, "subjective experience is very deceiving," and "our behavior is more complicated. It comes from a deeper place than we realize." A central theme is how people interpret situations through mental categories rather than objective reality. Someone may believe they are "just being friendly" instead of crossing emotional boundaries, or see an affair as "a unique situation" rather than recognizing it for what it is. Glenn explains that these unconscious mental frameworks can influence behavior in powerful ways, even for people who genuinely see themselves as honest and faithful. The discussion also challenges the tendency to blame oneself after betrayal. Glenn explains that there is "no evidence" that a partner's infidelity means the betrayed person was lacking. He discusses several research-backed risk factors, including growing up aware of parental infidelity, having many sexual partners before marriage, and an anxious attachment style, while emphasizing that these are risk factors—not predictions—and that greater self-awareness and healthy boundaries matter far more. The conversation concludes with practical guidance for both preventing and recovering from infidelity. Glenn argues that no one is completely immune to temptation, making honest communication and emotional openness essential in long-term relationships. For those healing after betrayal, he advises avoiding rash decisions, finding a trusted person to talk to, and recognizing that recovery takes time. As he says, "The first thing you got to do is become aware of it." Lasting change begins by recognizing the unconscious assumptions that shape behavior and gradually aligning actions with personal values.

What actually makes therapy work?Writer and therapist Daniel Duane joins Meredith to discuss his recent New York Times opinion piece, “Therapy Needs to Get Help,” which questions the ever-expanding world of therapeutic modalities, acronyms, and certifications—and asks what decades of research can tell us about what really helps people change.They explore predictive processing, the importance of trust and the therapist-client relationship, how early experiences shape our expectations of the world, and the surprising overlap between psychotherapy, nervous system science, and mindbody approaches to healing.Ultimately, the conversation returns to what Dan calls “the beautiful fundamentals” of therapy—and a bigger question: How do human beings actually change?Check out Dan's workTherapy Needs to Get HelpYosemite Falls (preorder)Caught Inside

When you're hungry, you know you're more interested in food. But hunger also changes the way you think—and the effects can spill over into decisions that have nothing to do with eating. Researchers have discovered some surprising consequences of making important choices on an empty stomach. https://www.dundee.ac.uk/press-release/dont-make-major-decisions-empty-stomach-research-suggests Finding cheap airfare has become almost a game. People swear by booking on Tuesdays, searching in incognito mode, or buying tickets at a certain time of day. But how much of that actually works? The truth is that airline pricing is driven by a surprisingly complex system—and once you understand what really causes fares to rise and fall, you can dramatically improve your odds of paying less. Here with an insider's look at how airfare pricing really works is Scott Keyes, founder of Going.com (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights), which tracks airfare deals for more than two million travelers worldwide. Listening to this conversation will save you money. People say they're "burned out" all the time. But are they really? According to the official definition, true burnout is far less common than most people think. In fact, many people who believe they're burned out are actually dealing with something very different—and treating the wrong problem only makes things worse. Psychotherapist and mental strength expert Amy Morin explains how to tell the difference, what burnout really looks like, and the practical steps that can help you regain your energy. Amy hosts the award-winning Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin podcast (https://amymorinlcsw.com/podcasts/), her TEDx Talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFbv757kup4) has been viewed more than 25 million times, and she is author of The Mental Strength Playbook.

But here's the interesting part: it's often not the wait itself that frustrates us. What really gets under our skin is something else entirely. Once you understand why waiting feels so unpleasant, you'll discover a few surprisingly simple ways to make almost any wait seem much shorter and more tolerable. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/dec/15/i-waited-45-minutes-to-buy-a-single-croissant-in-fitzroy-why-do-humans-queue PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS AIR DOCTOR: Head to https://AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code SYSK to get $250 off select AirDoctor air purifiers, including the 3500, 4000, and 5500 models.

If you've ever wondered how a family goes from talking every week to not talking at all, this conversation is for you. Matthias Barker and I unpack why estrangement rarely happens because of one big moment—it usually comes after years of small moments that were never addressed. We talk about what parents often miss, what adult children wish their parents understood, and why the fastest way to push someone further away is to defend your intentions instead of trying to understand their experience.
