Relearning basic movements like rolling, crawling, and squatting restores smoother coordination and reduces the fear-driven stiffness that worsens chronic low back pain A 12-week movement retraining program improved balance, daily function, and confidence by teaching participants how to move without triggering pain A structured walking routine nearly doubled the time people stayed pain-free after a flare, giving them longer stretches of normal movement and fewer recurrences Breaking up long sitting periods by even 40 minutes a day kept pain from worsening, showing that small increases in daily movement meaningfully change back pain trajectories Combining movement retraining, steady walking, less sitting, and mindful daily habits offers a practical, accessible strategy for easing chronic low back pain and preventing flare-ups
What if the hardest part of healing isn't pain — but joy? John Kim talks with Dr. MC McDonald about grief, intimacy, self-trust, and the quiet ways we hide when connection feels unsafe.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Yadi, an anthropologist and fellow Puerto Rican living in Australia, to talk about what it really means to live far from your motherland and still keep your culture alive. There are less than 1% Latinos in Australia. There are even fewer Puerto Ricans. No restaurants. No food. No community hubs. No shared language in the streets. And yet… here we are. This conversation was inspired by Bad Bunny bringing his global tour to Australia, selling out two massive shows, and reminding us how deeply culture lives in the body, especially when you're far from home. We talk about diaspora, displacement, identity, grief for the motherland, and the responsibility of keeping culture alive for our children when it's not reinforced by the environment around us. This episode is for anyone who has ever: • Left their home country • Missed their people, food, music, or language • Felt invisible in a dominant culture • Had to become the culture carrier • Built family and community from scratch ✨ IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: • What it's like being Puerto Rican in a country that doesn't know Puerto Rico • The grief and beauty of living in diaspora • Relearning what our grandmothers knew instinctively • Raising children with cultural pride far away from home • Why music, food, and language matter more than we think • Finding each other when “your people” barely exist • Celebrating Puerto Rican identity in a non-latin country
As we have stepped into 2026, many of us are exhausted—not just mentally, but physically—from a world that rewards stillness and productivity over health. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Sana sits down with Pedro Wunderlich, founder of Wakeout, to challenge everything we've been taught about exercise. This conversation reframes movement as a natural, human need rather than a punishing task or moral test. Pedro shares how modern infrastructure, corporate culture, and the fitness industry have normalized sitting, discomfort, and disconnection from the body. From questioning ergonomic chairs to calling out hustle culture, this episode explores how small, intuitive movements throughout the day can restore not just physical health, but emotional clarity, connection, and joy. This is a powerful reminder that movement doesn't need to hurt to heal—and that your body isn't broken, it's just been ignored. About the Guest: Pedro Wunderlich is the founder of Wakeout, an award-winning movement app named Apple's App of the Year. Based in Guatemala, Pedro has designed nearly 3,000 natural movements to help people break free from sedentary lifestyles and reconnect with their bodies in gentle, human ways. Key Takeaways: Movement is not performance or punishment—it's communication Sitting less matters more than exercising harder Modern life is designed against our bodies, not for them Small movements throughout the day can transform mental health Your body, mind, and emotions are one integrated system Connect with the guest: https://wakeout.app/ LinkedIn Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life ?

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with renowned philosopher and author Thomas Attig to tackle one of life’s most difficult and avoided subjects: death and grieving. Moving beyond the common "five stages" model, Thomas shares his unique existential approach to loss. He explains that grieving isn't just a reaction that washes over us—it is an active response where we must reconstruct our daily lives and redirect our personal histories. Dr. Pinkston and Thomas explore the concept of "dancing with the mysteries," encouraging listeners to embrace their fragile humanity—including vulnerability and impermanence—rather than fighting against it. Key topics discussed include: Why contemporary medicine often fails to address the deep emotional work of grieving. The difference between Everyday Problems (managed by the ego) and Mysteries (responded to by the soul). How to find "wise people" in your own life who can listen without judgment. Practical insights from Thomas's books, Seeking Wisdom in Death’s Shadow and Catching Your Breath in Grief. Understanding the Active Process of Grief Thomas Attig emphasizes that grieving is a dual experience involving both passive suffering and active engagement. FeatureGrief as Reaction (Passive)Grief as Response (Active)ExperienceFeelings of sadness and distress "washing over" you.Re-learning how to live in a world that has changed.ActionCrying, screaming, or waiting for time to heal the wound.Reshaping daily routines and finding new meaning.FocusThe emotional "hit" of the loss.The intentional effort to put a life back together.Export to SheetsThe Four Constants of Fragile Humanity Dr. Pinkston and Thomas discuss four essential truths that humans often try to deny, which can lead to chronic unhappiness. To live with integrity, we must accept that we are: Small and Insignificant in the grand scale of the universe. Susceptible to Suffering and physical pain. Living in Uncertainty without all the answers. Impermanent and susceptible to dying. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With streams of notifications and reels tugging at our attention, how can we re-learn the habit of turning pages, rather than scrolling? Ellen O'Dwyer looks at a club taking up slow reading, and speaks to some experts about how to get back into books.
Too Much Plastic, Too Little (Actual) RecyclingHow often do you buy an item from the store that's packaged in a plastic container or wrapped in plastic? Daily decisions like these add up and are feeding into the global plastic crisis. Scientists estimate that there's anywhere between 9 to 16 million tons of plastic on the sea floor, polluting the environment, harming species and releasing harmful microplastics into every corner of the planet and into our bodies. Two experts on plastic join us this week to shed some light on the problem and how we can each make a difference by changing our consumption habits and demanding improved policies that crack down on single-use plastics.Relearning How To Be Friends As An AdultMaking friends as an adult is harder than it looks, with so many of us trying to juggle busy, demanding schedules, living in new places and dealing with a culture that discourages vulnerability. We unpack why so many people feel disconnected and how you can put yourself out there and foster new and genuine friendships.Viewpoints Explained: The Dessert Trend That Refuses To FadeOnce a sweet treat mainly found at grocery stores, this dessert has quietly moved into the mainstream, showing as stand-alone chains across the country. We look at why it's stuck around longer than past food fads.Culture Crash: Why We Can't Let Go Of The '90SA look at why the 1990s still loom so large in our collective memory and what our fixation on that decade reveals about the draw of nostalgia.

Can joy be anything but denial in a rage-filled public life? Michael Wear joins Mark Labberton to reframe politics through the kingdom logic of hope, agency, and practices of silence and solitude. As 2025 closes amid political discord, we might all ask whether joy can be real in public life—without denial, escapism, or contempt. "… Joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing." In this conversation, Michael Wear and Mark Labberton reflect on joy, hope, responsibility, and agency amid a reaction-driven politics. Together they discuss the realism of Advent; the limits of our control; how kingdom imagination reframes anger; hope beyond outcomes, dignity under threat, and practices (including silence and solitude) that restore clarity. Episode Highlights "Joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing. … Joy is not a technique to then get people to do what you want them to do." "God's Kingdom is the range of his effective will." " Someone whose hope is rightly placed sees that a dignity denying culture does not have the final say." "Our will is effective and those things in which our will is not effective." "The pattern of domination and violence is an old one." About Michael Wear Michael Wear is the Founder, President, and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, a nonpartisan nonprofit that contends for the credibility of Christian resources in public life, for the public good. He has served for more than a decade as a trusted advisor to civic and religious leaders on faith and public life, including as a presidential campaign and White House staffer. He is the author of The Spirit of Our Politics: Spiritual Formation and the Renovation of Public Life and Reclaiming Hope: Lessons Learned in the Obama White House About the Future of Faith in America.

"Willard would say joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing." " It is very difficult to have joy if you are taking responsibility for things that are not your responsibility." Public life as joyless space; lacking imagination for joy amid provocation, antagonism, and constant political showmanship "If there are places in our life where we can't conceive of joy, it's a problem with our view of God." Misplaced responsibility, misplaced hope; joy collapses when taking on burdens that aren't ours and treating agency as ultimate "God's kingdom is the range of his effective will." "We each have our own little kingdoms … where what we say to be done is done." Politics reveals limits; a clarity about what we can do, what we can't do, and what we must import into the rest of life "Our will is effective, and there are things in which our will is not effective." "Faithfulness is not the ability to determine a righteous outcome … to everything in which our lives touch." False responsibility, obscured agency Are we taking charge of what isn't ours while ignoring the real choices we do have? "That's a recipe for joylessness." Poked and prodded by provocations; entertainment, antagonisms, and helplessness normalize reaction and justify complicity Anger as political fuel Many assume that raising your voice is the only faithful posture inside the public arena. "I've had people respond to me: 'How am I going to get anything done in politics without anger?'" "Political imagination has been taken over by a political logic as opposed to a kingdom logic." Relearning responsibility and agency; hope not grounded in our effectiveness, but in what God is doing beyond our reach. "Ultimate hope lies outside of the range of our effective will." "It is in that realm in which we are perfectly safe." Hope is for a life that pervades all things. "So when your hope is in the right place, you can hope for a whole range of things." " Someone whose hope is rightly placed sees that a dignity denying culture does not have the final say." Hope and joy "when your back is against the wall" Allen Temple Baptist Church: Joy at the margins of culture Fannie Lou Hamer Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited First Presbyterian Church in Evanston, IL Michael Wear, The Spirit of Our Politics Psalm 23 as distress-psalm: Enemies are still present, yet God leads beside still waters and cares most in greatest distress. "Take off the old self with its practices and put on the new self." "Put on Christ now in a way that will affect everything around us." Herod: The paranoid leader Advent into Christmastide—what it means to dwelling in Emmanuel "This is why the incarnation is such an extraordinarily important cornerstone: It's that God enters in through Jesus into our world, in a world in which, yes, there may be great praises in heaven and on earth from those who understand something at least of who he is and what he's there to do. But it also lands him in a world of immediate physical and familial vulnerability of political and social, if not military, violence." Are we protected from vulnerability, or living in precarity? The pattern of domination and violence Refusing forgetfulness as 2026 approaches with fresh pressures and fresh calling. National call to silence and solitude; disinvesting from reactionary instincts to engage the world with renewed vision and clarity. silenceandsolitude.org "Silence and solitude… can infuse your public activity with right vision and right clarity." #MichaelWear #MarkLabberton #ChristianPublicLife #ChristianPolitics #SpiritualFormation #Joy #Advent #SilenceAndSolitude #Hope #PublicWitness Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Kyley and Eva explore the real roots of burnout, the difference between desire and proving, and why so many people feel torn between achievement and inner alignment. They unwind the cultural belief that you must choose between being connected to your soul and creating a successful life, and offer a grounded alternative: ambition becomes nourishing when it's linked to desire instead of fear.A listener asks: Hello Universe. I'm feeling overwhelmed by hustle culture and the constant push to achieve more. I'm ambitious and I want a life that feels successful, but I also feel like I'm burning out. Can ambition and spirituality actually coexist, or am I trying to merge two things that don't fit? How do I find balance when one part of me wants to go big and another part just wants to breathe? Signed Ambitious, but Spiritual.What we cover in this episode:✨ Why burnout is a signal, not a personal failure
Pick Up the Phone: Relearning Connection at Work (and Beyond) This one's for anyone tired of being left on read—in the group chat, in the meeting, or in real life. In Episode 5, Verta and Naa explore how “not my problem” energy became the norm and what it's costing us. From unread emails to sitting next to someone who won't name the issue they have with you, they unpack how burnout, fear, and digital convenience have quietly made us worse teammates—and sometimes worse humans. They also ask: What would it look like to bring care back to work, not as a performance, but as a practice? Their answer lives in third spaces, intergenerational grace, and the ten seconds of courage it takes to simply check in. Because liberation isn't about doing everything alone. It's about building systems that remind us we never had to. Learn more about Naa & Verta here: Email: thatpart@45Lemons.com Website: www.45lemons.com/thatpart Instagram: @fortyfivelemons
The way you breathe directly determines how efficiently your body stabilizes your core, aligns your spine, and generates strength during movement Coordinating your breath with each lift or motion activates deep core muscles, improving posture, balance, and injury prevention while keeping your nervous system calm and focused Faulty breathing habits such as chest breathing or breath-holding restrict oxygen flow, tighten neck and back muscles, and reduce your power output and endurance Breathing too deeply or too often disrupts the natural balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2), narrowing blood vessels and lowering brain oxygen levels — the opposite of what most people intend when they "breathe deeply" Relearning to breathe lightly, rhythmically, and through your nose retrains your diaphragm, balances your CO2 levels, and builds both physical strength and mental stability for lasting energy and control
Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode, Matt uses The Matrix—especially the line “there is no spoon”—as a metaphor for the invisible cages we build in our own minds. He connects the film to social constructs, substance use disorder, self-limiting beliefs, and the hard, messy reality of change.Matt unpacks what it really means to “take the red pill”: leaving the comfort of your personal matrix, enduring an initial season of discomfort or even suffering, and slowly rebuilding your ability to cope, grow, and demand better—from yourself, your relationships, and your career.Key Topics Covered“There is no spoon” and social constructsThe Matrix as a metaphor for our personal belief systems, not just a sci-fi simulation.How ideas like “I can't,” “they won't let me,” and “this is just how it is” form our own private matrix.Money as a clear example of a social construct: it only works because we all agree it has value.Substance use disorder & the red/blue pill choiceReframing the Matrix pods and simulation as a stand-in for addiction and coping mechanisms.Drugs (or other coping tools) as a “cure” that works incredibly well… until the bill comes due.The “red pill” as the decision to leave a destructive coping mechanism and face reality.Why life often gets worse at first when someone chooses recovery—gray, flat, painful—before it gets better.Atrophy, discomfort, and rebuilding capacityNeo's physical atrophy as a metaphor for emotional and coping atrophy after long-term use.Many people aren't using to “get high” anymore—they're using just to feel normal.Relearning how to feel feelings at full intensity without a chemical buffer.Self-imposed limits and hidden capacityThe Matrix training scenes: bending the rules as a metaphor for challenging self-imposed limits.The “70% wall” idea from Navy SEAL training—quitting when there's still gas left in the tank.How often we defeat ourselves before we even truly try.The Kung Fu (David Carradine) lessonFlashback scene with the “acid pool” that turns out to be water.Believing in the danger so completely that you fail before you start.How often we do the same thing with exams, careers, and life decisions.Technicians, tests, and career ceilings“I'll never pass A6” / “I'll never get that cert” as a self-fulfilling prophecy.Questioning whether your limits are real, or chosen.Practical self-inquiry: What can I do to change this belief? What actions can I take?Relationships, work, and what we tolerateStaying in unhealthy relationships (romantic, friends, employers, clients) because “this is the best I can do.”Starting with your own role: being a better spouse, friend, or employee and expecting better treatment in return.The trap where employers say, “If they acted like good employees, I'd treat them well,” and employees say, “If they treated me well, I'd act like a good employee”—and nothing changes.Dutch Silverstein's perspectiveIt's important to treat people the way you want to be treated.But for sure: never treat someone the way you don't want to be treated.Taking the red pill in real lifeThe “red pill” as a choice, not a daily supplement.Expecting the initial result of that choice to feel worse before it feels...

This message by Pastor Lonnie highlights the struggles of the Pilgrims and Abraham Lincoln's honesty to demonstrate how gratitude has always helped people endure hardship and find unity. It challenges us to shift our focus from what we lack to what we have, to recognize God's work in our limitations and mistakes, and to give generously from the heart. The message encourages us to practice daily, rooted gratitude that strengthens our faith, blesses our community, and reshapes our perspective on life.
Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today's guest, John Golden, is a walking miracle—and a man who's defied odds most of us can't even imagine. After coding on an ER table from a full arterial blockage known as a “widowmaker,” John was revived and left with a second chance at life. We talk about the raw emotion of facing death, how gratitude becomes your default operating system afterward, and why community, family, and reflection matter more than anything else.John shares his journey from college football linebacker to multiple knee surgeries, a human bone transplant, and ultimately, summiting Mount Everest. Through that journey, he learned how the body compensates, adapts, and rebuilds—and how the same principles apply to the brain. Now as CEO of Vital Neuro, he's leading a new era in personalized neurofeedback—where real-time EEG and neuro-responsive music help calm the nervous system, restore focus, and reduce overwhelm.Together, we unpack the neuroscience of balance, the volume of modern life, and the small daily practices that bring peace and performance back online.

“You do you, and do it the best way you can." In this episode, Nick speaks with Renee Zukin about her journey, the role of technology in creativity, and the challenges of adult friendships. They discuss the importance of embracing vulnerability, the tools for self-mastery, and the significance of celebrating small wins as well as finding small ways to be brave every day. What to listen for: Embracing vulnerability is essential for personal growth. Writing is a powerful tool for processing thoughts and emotions. Self-compassion is crucial in the journey of self-mastery. Celebrating small wins can motivate further progress. Bravery exists on a spectrum; every small step counts. Inner work is necessary for creating positive change in the world. “How can I show up for myself, my people in the microcosm of my world so that it becomes reflected and ripples out into the macrocosm?” Real change starts small. The way you show up in your daily life creates a wider impact. Self-awareness and intentional action create ripple effects far beyond what we can see. Community begins with how we treat ourselves and those closest to us. Global transformation often starts with personal alignment and integrity. “One of the reasons why life can be so hard is because we're so trained to ignore our innate signals.” We've learned to override our instincts and emotions to “fit in.” Ignoring your intuition leads to burnout, confusion, and disconnection. Our bodies and emotions often know the truth before our minds do. Relearning how to listen to yourself can make life flow more easily. Healing begins when you trust your inner signals instead of silencing them. About Renee Zukin Renee is an author, educator, coach, and mental health advocate doing the inner work to see outer change. She has more than 20 years of experience in education, writing, and entrepreneurship, and has studied multiple psychological and healing modalities that have sustained her and helped support her students and clients alike. She is passionate about cultivating a safe space for others to use the written word and organizational structures as tools for self-transformation and empowerment. Renee is also the author of the new book, Every Day, I'm Brave: Cultivating Resilience to Gain Freedom from Fear (Wonderwell Press, 2025). https://www.reneezukin.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rzukin/ https://www.instagram.com/reneezukin/ https://www.amazon.com/Every-Day-Brave-Cultivating-Resilience/dp/1963827252 Resources: Interested in starting your own podcast or need help with one you already have? https://themindsetandselfmasteryshow.com/podcasting-services/ Thank you for listening!

I'm your host Nick McGowan. Today on the show we have Renee Zukin. Renee, how you doing today? Renee Zukin (00:11.06)I'm doing fantastic, Nick, so excited to be here. Nick McGowan (00:14.188)Yeah, I'm excited too. I think it's going to be great. Why don't you get us started. Tell us what you do for a living and what's one thing most people don't know about you that's maybe a little odd or bizarre. Renee Zukin (00:22.478)Love this question. Well, I'm a writer. I'm an educator. Currently, I coach entrepreneurs in digital online marketing, which is a lot of fun. And one thing that most people don't know about me, I actually recorded an album back in 2011. Yes, yes. It was my first foray into songwriting and the band I had curated was called Collectible Boys. it started out as a poetry and essay writing project and it turned into an album. So, you you never know where the spirit's going to take you. Nick McGowan (01:08.408)Nice. Nick McGowan (01:15.02)Yeah, literally. that's cool. mean, as a musician, I've already told you, now I have loads of questions about what kind of music, where did you record, and how did you find the studio musicians, and what did you play, and what did you not play, and what is it all about, you know? So feel free to share any of that if you'd like. Renee Zukin (01:21.518)Mm-hmm. Renee Zukin (01:25.518)Yeah, yeah, it was a lot of fun. started out just really wanting to play music and I did need to get musicians to actually help me curate the music underneath because for me, I was writing lyrics and I had melodies and you know, I only have a few years of piano lessons as a kid under my belt. So I knew I needed the the heavy hitters to come in and help create it underneath. And I did, I collected some amazing local musicians who've played in multiple bands and knew what they were doing. And we played out for a couple of years and I was like, we need to record this. And we did it in one weekend. So it was definitely a whirlwind and a lot of fun. Nick McGowan (02:12.584)Thanks Nick McGowan (02:19.576)And I love that sort of stuff. And especially like people listen to albums or they'll listen to a new song that comes out. You might think like, this is great. And these people just keep putting these things out like any bands that put out new albums. It's like, but we have no idea the amount of time and effort and energy that every single one of them put into figuring out what do we do? How do we do it? And I think oftentimes people forget about the sometimes the fifth or sixth member of the band. producer and the one who's actually recording everything. And I said this to you before we started even recording this, that sometimes the answers that will come out of that initial question will kind of alter the way that the conversations go. And I think this may be one of those situations. Like as a musician, I've been having conversations with people recently that have been using AI and Renee Zukin (02:49.646)Right? Yeah. Renee Zukin (03:03.516)Yeah. Renee Zukin (03:11.266)Mmm. Nick McGowan (03:13.309)if you, somebody who has a few years of piano lessons from X amount of years ago, and you have ideas and some melodies and you go, well, I want the drums to sound like, whatever, like you just make noises. Like you can't really do that. guess, well, Timbaland made a whole career out of making noises and putting in the records, but that's one person. Renee Zukin (03:26.168)Right. Renee Zukin (03:30.478)Yeah Nick McGowan (03:36.329)I think it's interesting how there's technology that helps us with things but can also really hinder us. I have a good friend of mine who writes music constantly, plays acoustic, sings, and he can mess around on some other instruments, but his main thing is like first second position of acoustic, singer-songwriter type stuff, and using AI at times to help with a backing band. Like I can understand going that direction because the resource is there, but I Renee Zukin (03:41.784)Mm-hmm. Renee Zukin (04:05.666)Mm-hmm. Nick McGowan (04:06.184)I that also can hurt us from being creative and stretching those muscles and being more brave in the confusing things. Like you sit down on the piano and go, I'm fucking fine, middle C, K, triad, you know, like instead of going, well, here, this is the thing I want. And as somebody who, like you didn't have AI in 2011. Renee Zukin (04:11.317)and Renee Zukin (04:17.704)Yeah. Renee Zukin (04:29.55)No I didn't. Nick McGowan (04:31.424)you had to find people to actually be musicians with you, work through that stuff, what are your thoughts, what are your feelings with that sort of stuff? Renee Zukin (04:35.458)Mm-hmm. This is great. I because I think it's similar to also to writing in general. Obviously we can use. Yeah. And I think what you're speaking to is this opportunity for our own creativity to allow us to learn and grow like when we get stuck. Okay. So I, you know, my skills and here I want to play around, but also the Nick McGowan (04:45.94)Yeah, big time. Renee Zukin (05:05.996)opportunity to connect with other people who do have those skills and have the conversations and get to really play and modify and modulate music and the piece in different ways. And I think actually you could even say this with all kinds of art. Like I am not like, I'm a firm believer that AI and its ability to help us create can save us a lot of time, save us a lot of energy. There's ways in which it's a great tool to have and there's ways in which we can teach it how to be a better AI partner. So I'm definitely all in and playing the game and I think that we also have to balance that out with our own boredom, our own limits. our ability to get creative, to connect with other people and have a, you know, more of a co-creation. So I'm definitely not an either or, but I certainly lean towards, you know, the authentic human experience can create something that a machine cannot. Nick McGowan (06:23.318)Sure. Well, so I think most of the people listening to this podcast are probably around our age. Like, I'm gonna say, looking specifically at the demographic numbers that I have, it's about 25 to 55, but it's heavier in the 35 to 45 range. I have conversations with people I haven't said to you. I like, I've got four or five friends at this point. That's about true that like I consistently have a relationship with and I work on those outside of my partner and you know, things like that. as we get older and that friend that I was talking to, he's like, well,
In this episode, Sarah sits down with Dr. Ashley Hudson—therapist, speaker, educator, and founder of Pearl in Process—for a deeply compassionate conversation about faith, fertility, intimacy, mental health, and healing. Ashley is known for bringing warmth, humor, and authenticity to discussions most people struggle to have, making this an essential listen for anyone navigating infertility, loss, or relationship challenges.Ashley begins by sharing how she entered the world of perinatal mental health and how her faith-based values integrate beautifully with her work as a sexologist. She explains why talking about sex, intimacy, and emotional connection often feels overwhelming or shame-filled, and how cultural messages, fear, and past experiences contribute to silence around these topics. This episode is particularly rich for listeners who need faith and intimacy conversations that feel grounded, gentle, and inclusive.Together, Sarah and Ashley explore how to communicate intimacy needs more openly, how to reconnect with your partner, and how acts of closeness outside the bedroom can be just as meaningful. Ashley also provides crucial insight for couples going through IVF, fertility treatment, and timed intercourse, describing how sexual connection often shifts into something goal-oriented, stressful, and emotionally heavy. This episode supports those needing IVF support, intimacy after loss, and guidance for navigating scheduled sex during treatment.Ashley speaks powerfully about intimacy after loss, sharing how grief, trauma, and fear can rewire the brain, making sex feel unsafe or painful. She explains the bristle effect, the way the body becomes tied to memories of loss, and the therapeutic work needed to reclaim the body as a place where love, safety, and connection can live again. This is especially meaningful for those walking through pregnancy after loss, fertility struggles, and the lifelong impact of grief and loss.The conversation also touches on differences in how men and women discuss intimacy, why partners often react differently, and how to support one another through emotional shutdowns or fear responses. Ashley offers gentle, practical tips for couples trying to reconnect after infertility, postpartum depression, or pregnancy loss.If you're seeking fertility podcast content that holds space for both faith and emotional honesty—or if you need encouragement in the areas of intimacy, IVF, pregnancy after loss, or healing after miscarriage—this episode offers hope, understanding, and actionable tools. It is full of wisdom for anyone coping with infertility, rebuilding connection, or searching for healing in their journey through loss.
In this third and final episode, we're diving deep into how emerging insights about the microbiome are shaping the way clinicians counsel families and care for pediatric patients. Dr. Shoch and Dr. Castelo-Soccio share how understanding the microbiome has changed their clinical practice, from their approach to bathing routines and yeast overgrowth to dietary counseling and the cautious use of probiotics and bleach baths. Together, they explore what we know and what we don't, and where the future of microbiome research in pediatric dermatology might be headed.
In this second episode, we discuss how infant microbiomes develop and what factors shape them, and how early life disruptions may increase the risk of disease. The conversation also touches on the hygiene and biodiversity hypothesis, the role of dysbiosis in conditions like atopic dermatitis, and the ongoing challenge of teasing apart whether microbiome shifts are causes or markers of disease.Special thanks to Incyte for supporting this independent medical education program.

Exam season is here — and with it, a tidal wave of pressure, late nights, and panic. But what if we’ve got it all wrong? In this short, punchy episode, Justin and Kylie Coulson share six powerful reminders to help your teen (and you!) survive exam stress with perspective, calm, and even joy. From why your ATAR doesn’t define your worth to why sleep, exercise, and connection matter more than cramming — this is the reality check every parent needs right now. KEY POINTS: You are not your ATAR: Exams don’t measure intelligence, potential, or worth. Brains need breaks: Good sleep, nutrition, and exercise fuel real learning. Remembering requires forgetting: Relearning builds stronger memory. Connection over cramming: Fun, laughter, and time with loved ones reduce anxiety. Take a gap year: Exploration and “range” lead to deeper purpose and long-term success. Perspective is everything: In two years, none of this will matter as much as it feels now. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:“You are not your ATAR. In two years, no one’s going to care — and you’ll be just fine.” — Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Range by David Epstein Join the waitlist to hear all the news on Justin's new book "Boys" The Art of Manliness A HF conversation with Amy Dyer on gap years & the real path to success after school ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Keep routines steady — protect your teen’s sleep, meals, and downtime. Encourage short study bursts, spaced repetition, and daily movement. Talk about why effort matters more than marks. Model calm and perspective — your energy sets the tone. Start conversations about gap years, growth, and finding direction beyond exams. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
