Voting has begun in the opening phase of Myanmar's heavily restricted general election, the first since the military seized power nearly five years ago in a coup, an act that sparked civil war. The first round of voting takes place in around a quarter of the country; two more rounds are due to take place next month. Also: we look at how deportation fears in the US are driving money transfers to Honduras. A Siberian tiger gives birth to a record five cubs, it's China's first documented case of a tiger having quintuplets in the wild. Research suggests that a mysterious force called Dark Energy - which drives the expansion of the Universe - might be changing, in a way that challenges our current understanding of time and space. And Aryna Sabalenka takes on Nick Kyrgios in what's been dubbed the 'Battle of the Sexes' tennis match.

While our team is out on winter break, please enjoy this episode of Research Saturday. This week, we are joined by ⁠Tom Hegel⁠, Principal Threat Researcher from ⁠SentinelLabs⁠ research team, to discuss their work on "Ghostwriter | New Campaign Targets Ukrainian Government and Belarusian Opposition." The latest Ghostwriter campaign, linked to Belarusian government espionage, is actively targeting Ukrainian military and government entities as well as Belarusian opposition activists using weaponized Excel documents. SentinelLabs identified new malware variants and tactics, including obfuscated VBA macros that deploy malware via DLL files, with payload delivery seemingly controlled based on a target's location and system profile. The campaign, which began preparation in mid-2024 and became active by late 2024, appears to be an evolution of previous Ghostwriter operations, combining disinformation with cyberattacks to further political and military objectives.

We close out the year on SmarterMarkets™ with Part One of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review.   2025 has been a big year full of big months here at Abaxx and at SmarterMarkets™, and we're closing out 2025 by revisiting the conversations with our guests that helped us understand and articulate the themes that would come to define the year.    2025 was the year in which we discovered that this was not the energy transition that we were expecting; and the year in which a new geopolitical reality emerged and old geopolitical concerns resurfaced. It was the year featuring a tale of two carbon markets and the need for new weather markets to manage the risks posed by reliance on renewable power. And 2025 was the year in which there was both a new gold rush and a rush into tokenization.   We hope you'll sit back, relax, and enjoy Part One of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review.   Our guests in order of appearance:   Andy Home – Senior Metals Columnist, Thomson Reuters SM213 – 1.18.2025 – The State of Play in Battery Metals   Andrea Hotter – Special Correspondent, Fastmarkets SM214 – 1.25.2025 – The State of Play in Battery Metals   Peter Zaman – Partner, HFW Singapore SM218 – 2.22.2025 – Carbon Frontiers 2025   Nobuo Tanaka – Executive Director Emeritus, International Energy Agency (IEA) SM246 – 8.30.2025 – Summer Playlist 2025   Helima Croft – Managing Director & Global Head of Commodity Strategy, RBC Capital Markets SM245 – 8.23.2025 – Summer Playlist 2025   Dave Ernsberger & Mark Eramo – Co-Presidents, S&P Global Commodity Insights SM251 – 10.4.2025 – Catching Up On Climate   Rene Velasquez – Managing Partner, Valitera SM219 – 3.1.2025 – Carbon Frontiers 2025   Mark Lewis – Partner & Managing Director, Climate Finance Partners LLC and Former Head of Research, Andurand Capital SM216 – 2.8.2025 – Carbon Frontiers 2025   Hannah Hauman – Global Head of Carbon Trading, Trafigura SM250 – 9.27.2025 – Catching Up On Climate   Theresa Kammel & Pierre Buisson – Originator & Senior Structurer, Weather & Agro Zurich, Munich Re SM241 – 7.26.2025 – Summer Playlist 2025

December 27, 2025: (Repeat) The Long Game: Investing, Mortgages, and Year-End Money MovesWhile we're out of the studio this week, we've collected a selection of great discussions from the past few months. For young men, knowing every player stat is easier than understanding investing—but it doesn't have to be that way. We respond to a listener's question about the rise of sports betting and show how the same competitive spirit can be redirected toward “betting” on the markets—tracking long-term wins, company performance, and financial growth.After the break, we dive into a headline-grabbing idea: 50-year mortgages. The Federal Housing Finance Agency is floating the concept, but would stretching a home loan over five decades make homebuying more accessible—or simply saddle borrowers with far more interest over time? We lay out the potential benefits, the pitfalls, and what this could mean for future homeowners.We walk through the essentials of year-end IRA planning—from maximizing contributions to handling required minimum distributions and reviewing beneficiaries. We highlight key deadlines, common pitfalls to avoid, and tactics that can help strengthen your long-term savings.We'll also answer a listener question about donor-advised funds—a charitable giving tool that lets you give now, decide later, and save on taxes today.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J.

Chris Carter is a researcher and author who approaches the Near-Death Experience (NDE) through a rigorous scientific and philosophical lens. Rather than dismissing NDEs as hallucinations or brain anomalies, Chris examines peer-reviewed studies, verified clinical cases, and cross-cultural accounts to explore what these experiences may reveal about consciousness, the mind-brain relationship, and the possibility that awareness can exist independent of the physical body. His work challenges strict materialist assumptions and invites thoughtful discussion on survival of consciousness, empirical evidence, and the limits of conventional science when confronting extraordinary human experiences.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Now on Spotify Video! After decades leading AI research at NASA, Google, and Stanford, Peter Norvig has watched artificial intelligence advance at an incredible pace, often without enough consideration for the people it's meant to serve. While the systems grew better at optimizing algorithms, far less focus was placed on fairness, human agency, and real-world impact. That realization led Peter to champion a more human-centered approach to AI. In this final episode of the AI Vault series, Peter breaks down how to design and use AI in ways that elevate human abilities, support better decision-making, and promote fairness across business, education, and leadership. In this episode, Hala and Peter will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:28) His Transition From Academia to Corporate (06:05) The Evolution of Google Search Technology (12:59) How Artificial Intelligence Has Changed Over Time (17:53) Human Intelligence vs. AI Capabilities (23:38) What Is Human-Centered AI?

How Do Top Performers Stay Motivated When Sales Gets Hard? You know the feeling when you close a big deal. The rush. The quiet satisfaction of updating your pipeline. Maybe a quick high-five with your manager. And then, almost immediately, it fades. You're back to cold calls that go unanswered, emails that disappear into inboxes, and prospects who promised they were interested suddenly going silent. In sales, rejection isn't a side effect of the job. It is the job. That reality is exactly why most people don't last in sales. And it's why the people who do last tend to get paid very well. Over the past quarter, we talked with some of the most consistent sales leaders in the business. Here are four moments from the Sales Gravy Podcast that reveal how top performers stay motivated and close more deals, even when the work feels heavy. Find Your Carrot and Make It Specific Will Frattini, VP of Sales at ZoomInfo, keeps a small Christmas ornament on his desk. His daughter gave it to him when she was five. That ornament is his carrot. During a recent podcast conversation, Will explained that when sales gets hard, that ornament reminds him exactly why he keeps pushing. Not in an abstract or inspirational-poster way, but in a deeply personal one. It represents his family, his responsibility, and the future he's building for them. That distinction matters. Many salespeople say they're motivated by family, freedom, or financial security. Those values are real, but on their own, they're often too broad to sustain sales motivation during a brutal stretch of rejection. When you're fifty dials deep with no connects and another demo just canceled, vague motivation doesn't hold up. Will doesn't just think “my family.” He sees a moment, a memory, and a tangible reminder of what's at stake. That specificity gives his motivation weight. Top performers anchor their sales motivation to something concrete and emotionally charged. A down payment they want to make by a certain date. A trip they want to take without checking their bank account. A milestone that matters beyond quota. The more specific the carrot, the more powerful it becomes when sales gets hard. How to define yours: Write down one specific outcome you want to achieve in the next six months. Not “hit quota,” but the real-world result that quota enables. A number. A purchase. An experience. Put it somewhere you'll see it every day. Work With Customers Who Actually Value You One of the fastest ways to drain sales motivation is closing deals with customers who make you miserable. On an episode of Ask Jeb, Jeb broke down how companies grow faster by focusing on the right customers, not just more customers. When you're behind on quota late in the year, it's tempting to take anything that looks like revenue. Any company that shows interest. Any prospect willing to meet. You convince yourself that a deal is a deal. Then January arrives. That customer floods your team with support tickets, questions every invoice, demands exceptions, and slowly erodes the satisfaction of the win you celebrated just weeks earlier. Consistent performers learn to protect their energy. They get ruthless about fit. Not just company size or industry, but values. They ask questions like, “What do you value most in a partner?” and they listen carefully to the answer. Some buyers want constant responsiveness. Others value expert perspective and challenge. Some want efficiency and minimal interaction. None of those preferences are wrong. But only one aligns with how you actually sell. When sales gets hard, motivation comes easier when you're pursuing customers who respect your approach instead of fighting it. How to clarify your ideal customer: Look at your three favorite customers. The ones your entire team enjoys working with. What do they share beyond surface-level traits? How did they behave during the buying process? Those patterns matter more than any firmographic filter. Slow Down Before You Create Your Own Problems When pressure builds, speed starts to feel productive. You rush contracts. You promise timelines without checking internally. You say yes to custom requirements because slowing down feels risky. On an episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount, Jr. shared one of the most painful stories we heard this year. A $1.4 million deal with a pediatrics practice unraveled after someone rushed the process and placed the client into an early adopter program without a test environment. The result was catastrophic. The client's live system crashed, HIPAA was violated, and the company lost not only the deal but $600,000 in annual recurring revenue. Top performers understand something most reps learn the hard way: smooth is fast. They build guardrails around high-risk moments. Before sending a contract, they align internally. Before committing to timelines, they check with the people who actually do the work. Slowing down at the right moments builds trust. It prevents chaos. And it preserves sales motivation by keeping you from spending the next quarter cleaning up mistakes made under pressure. How to build a slowdown system: Identify the three points in your sales process where you tend to rush. Proposals, negotiations, technical commitments. Create a short checklist for each and make it mandatory. Use AI to Think Faster, Not to Stop Thinking Sales demands constant context switching. Pipeline reviews. Prospect research. Discovery prep. Follow-up. Objection handling. The mental load adds up quickly. Victor Antonio recently shared an example of a window company using vision AI to diagnose broken window seals from photos. Instead of sending a technician, customers submit an image. The system verifies the issue, checks inventory, confirms warranty status, and schedules service automatically. AI hasn't changed what strong salespeople do. It's changed how quickly they get to the work that actually matters. Top performers use AI to handle tasks that drain energy but don't require judgment. Research summaries. Organizing notes. Drafting frameworks. That speed preserves mental bandwidth for conversations, strategy, and relationship building. Used correctly, AI supports sales motivation by reducing friction, not replacing effort. How to use AI without dulling your edge: List the tasks you repeat weekly that consume time but not insight. Let AI handle those. Keep anything involving trust, nuance, or decision-making firmly in your hands. Why This Matters for Sales Motivation Sales has always been hard. Cold calling was hard decades ago, and it's still hard today. You still have to find people, start conversations, build trust, and ask for commitments. What separates average reps from consistent performers isn't resilience alone. It's structure. Top performers know exactly what they're chasing and why it matters. They protect themselves from bad-fit customers. They slow down when it counts. And they use tools strategically to preserve energy for selling. They still get rejected. They still lose deals. They still have months where nothing goes right. But they don't drift. They don't panic. And they don't quit when the work gets uncomfortable. That discipline is what sustains sales motivation long after the initial excitement wears off. If you want a clearer target to aim at when sales gets hard, download the FREE Sales Gravy Goal Guide. It will help you define the goals that actually keep you focused, disciplined, and motivated—especially when rejection starts piling up.

Worried that years of disordered eating have permanently damaged your metabolism? You're not alone. In this Coaching Over Coffee episode, Lindsey addresses one of the most common fears in eating disorder recovery: "Is my metabolism broken?" The truth might surprise you—and it's actually incredibly hopeful. What You'll Learn in This Episode The truth about metabolism: What it actually is and how it works in your body Can you break your metabolism? Spoiler alert: No, but you can slow it down (and speed it back up!) The myth of "calories in vs. calories out" and why this oversimplified formula doesn't tell the whole story What happens to your body during restriction: How your metabolism, digestion, heart rate, and body temperature all slow down to conserve energy Hypermetabolism in recovery: Why your body goes into "high gear" during the restoration process Science-backed hope: Research showing metabolic changes are fully reversible How to boost your metabolism: Practical steps to work WITH your body instead of against it Set point weight explained: Understanding when your body reaches its optimal performance state Key Takeaways Your metabolism isn't broken—it's adaptive. When you restrict food intake over months or years, your body learns to conserve energy by slowing down non-essential functions. Think of it like turning off lights in the house to save power. Research proves recovery is possible. A University of North Carolina study found zero metabolic differences between women who never had eating disorders and those fully recovered from anorexia and bulimia. All metabolic changes are fully reversible. 50-80% of your energy goes to resting functions. Your body needs fuel for basic organ function, tissue repair, fighting infections, physical activity, and digesting food—all before you even get out of bed. The opposite of the disorder is the path to healing. Stop restricting. Start fueling. Embrace food variety. Let go of rigid routines. Prioritize hydration, quality sleep, and self-care. Your body knows better than you think. At set point weight, your metabolism normalizes and your body operates at peak performance—not where society says you should be, but where your body thrives. Quotes from This Episode "You can slow down your metabolism and you can speed up your metabolism, but you can't break your metabolism. It's not ruined, it's not wrecked." "Your body doesn't care how you think it should look, or what society says is the best or the trendiest. Your body cares about its optimal function." "The lie that your eating disorder mind is telling you—that your metabolism is ruined—is just to keep you stuck, to make you believe there's nothing you can do to fix this." "Your body will heal itself, but you must learn to trust and to honor it. It's a two-way street." Resources Mentioned Harvard Medical School research on metabolism variability University of North Carolina and Chapel Hill study on metabolic recovery What's Next? If you're tired of missing the magic in your life because you're trapped in those eating disorder thoughts that are eating away at your mind—I want you to take a stand.

The holidays bring families together—but they also create a rare opportunity to talk about something that truly matters: legacy. Richard Rosso & Sarah Buenger explore how thoughtful, well-framed conversations about money, wishes, and values can become one of the greatest gifts you give your family. Research shows that nearly 70% of parents have never discussed inheritance with their children, often leaving confusion, conflict, or unresolved questions behind. Questions lead to stories. Stories lead to understanding. And understanding builds a legacy that lasts beyond the holidays. 0:00 - INTRO 0:20 Santa's Elves & Christmas Ornaments 2:15 - parents who don't tell children about their inheritance. 3:21 - Holiday Legacy Guide 5:41 -Thoughtful conversations: Talking about Money is the greatest gift 9:33 - Conversation starters are tough - use an independent third party to help (friends, clergy, financial advisors, etc.) 12:52 - Care in framing the questions - no dead-end questions 14:46 - Long-lost money 17:34 - Ask about the pets - who gets it? 19:35 - Ask about he "final arrangements:" What do you want? - do it for the ones you love 24:19 - What would you do if you had a month to live? 26:51 - The strategy for learning what your family wants 29:59 - The Christmas Ornament 33:17 - The Tool: www.agingwithdignity.org - Five wishes Questions lead to stories, stories lead to conversations Hosted by RIA Advisors Director of Financial Planning, Richard Rosso, CFP, w Senior Financial Advisor, Sara Buenger, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/8_W5XkBMmF4?feature=share ------- REGISTER for our 2026 Economic Summit, "The Future of Digital Assets, Artificial Intelligence, and Investing:" https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2026-ria-economic-summit-tickets-1765951641899?aff=oddtdtcreator ------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestm entadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #LegacyPlanning #FamilyFinance #EstatePlanning #HolidayConversations #FinancialWellbeing

Most health insurance is designed to treat disease after it shows up, not to keep you truly healthy or extend your life. In this video, we explain how longevity medicine and preventive screening can help reduce your risk of heart attacks, cancer, dementia, and other predictable causes of death. We walk through a practical “pyramid” of health: starting with foundations like exercise, VO₂ max, strength, sleep, stress management, and nutrition. From there, we move into regenerative medicine tools such as hormone replacement therapy, testosterone support for men, joint and arthritis treatment, metabolic weight-loss programs, venous circulation care, and sleep apnea treatment. Then we explore advanced preventive screening that goes beyond basic labs, coronary calcium scores, CIMT, full-body MRI, and neuro-quantitative brain scans that can reveal problems years before symptoms appear. Our goal with longevity medicine and preventive screening is not just to add years to your life, but to add quality to those years. We want you to understand your real risks early and know what options exist before a major event occurs.Timestamps:00:00 — Why Health Insurance Doesn't Create Longevity02:10 — Phase 1: Fitness, VO₂ Max & Lifestyle Foundations03:35 — Why Being Fit Makes You Harder to Kill04:15 — Phase 2: Regenerative Medicine & Hormone Therapy06:30 — Weight Loss, Metabolic Health & Lifespan07:30 — Sleep Apnea and 3x Higher Mortality Risk08:15 — Phase 3: Preventing Predictable Causes of Death08:40 — Advanced Heart Screening Beyond Standard Labs09:40 — Full-Body MRI, Cancer Screening & Early Detection10:20 — Brain Imaging and Early Dementia Risk11:55 — Biological Age vs Chronological Age12:30 — Reversing Heart Disease Risk with Data13:10 — Why Knowing Your Risk Early Changes EverythingLearn More: https://www.alluremedical.com/Books & Research: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/Follow Dr. Charles Mok & Allure Medical: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-mok-4a0432114/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alluremedicals/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AllureMedical TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alluremedicalAmazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Charles-Mok/author/B0791M9FZQInner Circle Membership: https://www.alluremedical.com/inner-circle-membership/Subscribe to the show & leave a 5-star review!#insidethecure

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!We've all read the real estate headlines, both positive and otherwise. So, what's really next in retail real estate? There's nowhere left to expand: Occupancy in quality centers is running 96 to 97 percent in desirable locations. It's a landlord's market with store openings continuing to outpace closures by roughly 2:1. And capital is still flowing into retail real estate and property tech despite negative headlines. Join Shelley with real estate experts Stephanie Cegielski, Vice President, Research and Public Relations of ICSC and Steve Morris, Founder of ASG as they reveal how retail real estate is operating from a position of strength driven by limited supply, disciplined development, and sustained demand for high-quality space. They discuss how retailers are competing aggressively for high-quality space, consolidating footprints, leveraging data-driven site selection, and designing stores to support omnichannel convenience rather than pure browsing. While landlords currently hold leverage, lease structures are becoming more flexible and collaborative. Mixed-use, wellness, value retail, and data-enabled decision-making are defining the next phase of physical retail growth. Listen and learn what to expect in real estate as developers up their game in delivering the services and experiences customers want.Special Guests: Stephanie Cegielski, Vice President, Research and Public Relations of ICSC and Steve Morris, Founder of ASGFor more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

In this episode, we delve into the latest advancements in UAP research and explore a groundbreaking discovery that suggests our universe might not be as symmetrical as once thought. We begin with the ongoing investigation into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), where experts emphasize the need for rigorous scientific study and funding to uncover the truth behind these mysterious sightings. As momentum builds, institutions like the University of Wurtzburg and the Galileo Project are stepping up to collect high-quality data on UAPs, with potential national security implications highlighted by former Navy pilot Ryan Graves.Next, we shift our focus to a fascinating cosmological anomaly that challenges the long-held cosmological principle of isotropy. A new study reveals that the cosmic microwave background exhibits temperature variations that suggest our galaxy is moving through space in a preferred direction, raising questions about dark energy and the Big Bang itself.On Mars, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has identified the largest fresh impact crater ever confirmed, providing valuable insights into the planet's active geological processes. This remarkable discovery showcases the ongoing dynamism of our solar system.We then explore a rare cosmic phenomenon involving a triple system of galaxies, each hosting supermassive black holes that are actively feeding. This unprecedented finding enhances our understanding of galaxy evolution and the interactions that drive black hole growth.Finally, we discuss innovative strategies to protect future astronauts from the dangers of cosmic rays during long-duration missions. With insights drawn from biology and the study of resilient organisms, researchers are uncovering potential methods to safeguard human health in the harsh environment of space.Join us as we unpack these captivating stories and more on this episode of Astronomy Daily!00:00 – **Astronomy Daily brings you the latest news from across the cosmos00:37 – **Unidentified anomalous phenomena are still being reported in America's skies02:51 – **New study suggests the universe may not be as symmetrical as we've always thought04:40 – **NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has discovered the largest fresh impact crater06:04 – **Astronomers have confirmed first known triple system where all three black holes feed07:40 – **One of the single biggest obstacles for future long duration space missions is cosmic rays09:42 – **This week's Astronomy Daily features a number of interesting topics### Sources & Further Reading1. NASA2. Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies3. HuffPost on UAPs4. Space.com### Follow & ContactX/Twitter: @AstroDailyPodInstagram: @astrodailypodEmail: hello@astronomydaily.ioWebsite: astronomydaily.ioClear skies and see you next time!

Why do we say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Christmas? The phrase has a surprisingly rich past, shaped by culture, language, and holiday tradition. This episode begins with where “merry” came from and why it stuck. https://time.com/6240140/why-we-say-merry-christmas-traditions/ Being alone isn't the same as being lonely. In fact, choosing solitude can offer profound psychological and emotional benefits. Robert J. Coplan joins me to explain why. He has spent more than three decades studying the upside of time alone. Robert is a psychologist, researcher, teacher, and author of The Joy of Solitude: How to Reconnect with Yourself in an Overconnected World. (https://amzn.to/3KX25NE) Christmas traditions evolve far more than we realize — from how we celebrate to who we imagine Santa to be. The Santa Claus of today looks very different from his earlier counterparts, and the holiday itself has gone through dramatic shifts over time. Joe Biel, founder and CEO of Microcosm Publishing and author of A People's Guide to Santa Claus: The Secret History of Christmas, from Saint Nick to Krampus and Yule (https://amzn.to/48MTN2J) joins me to explore these surprising transformations. Owning a pet can actually make you more attractive — and not just because pets are cute.

If you've been hearing more about psychedelic therapy and wondering whether it's a genuine breakthrough for healing—or just the latest mental health trend—you're not alone. Many people feel curious, hopeful, and skeptical all at once. This conversation is meant to help you slow down, understand what the research actually shows, and think clearly about whether this path is right for you. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, I'm joined by psychiatrist and MDMA-assisted psychotherapist Dr. Scott Shannon, founder of Wholeness Center, the largest integrative mental health center in the U.S. Together, we talk about how psychedelic therapy works differently from conventional psychiatric treatment, why it can help disrupt rigid trauma patterns in the brain, and what researchers are learning about long-term healing—not just short-term symptom relief. We also spend time on the parts of this conversation that matter just as much: the risks, the ethical boundaries, and the importance of preparation, professional support, and integration. Psychedelic therapy isn't appropriate for everyone, and it isn't something to pursue casually or without careful guidance. This episode offers a grounded, responsible look at how people can think critically about safety, readiness, and what to look for in a qualified provider. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on a few questions: What kind of healing are you actually looking for? What does feeling “better” really mean to you? And how do you decide which growth paths deserve your trust, time, and care? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Psychedelic therapy explained: promise, research, and real risks 02:31 Why psychedelic therapy differs from traditional psychiatric medication 04:55 Trauma, brain patterns, and how psychedelic therapy disrupts stuck loops 07:00 MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD and why healing can continue long after treatment 12:21 A paradigm shift in mental health: supporting the brain's capacity to heal 19:30 What MDMA actually does in therapy: safety, self-compassion, and trauma processing 25:47 Mystical experience, meaning, and the spiritual dimension of psychedelic therapy 30:09 Ethical concerns, safety risks, and how to evaluate psychedelic therapy providers 38:00 Preparation and integration: why psychedelic therapy is more than the experience itself If this conversation leaves you thinking about your own healing or growth, I want to be clear that Growing Self does not offer psychedelic therapy. What we do offer is thoughtful, evidence-based therapy and coaching for people who want to grow with intention and care. If you'd like, I'd love to help you think through what kind of support would actually be most helpful for you. I've created a simple, private way to do that. By answering just a few quick questions, we can help match you with the right therapist or coach for a complimentary consultation—someone who understands what you're navigating and where you'd like to go next. Schedule a free consultation today. Consider it a small gift from me, and a gentle next step if you're ready for one. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

December is a traditional time for feasts, family, and giving, but the financial and time burdens of the holiday-heavy month, combined with the change of seasons and other factors, also make it a time ripe for breaks in a person's mental health.

Send us a textTransitioning from fellowship to your first attending job? You're probably not prepared for the business side of medicine—and that's exactly the problem Dr. Tung Giep addresses in this episode. Dr. Giep, a neonatologist with over 30 years of experience, shares hard-earned lessons from building and selling a private practice in Houston, navigating toxic work environments, and eventually finding his place in telemedicine. His new book, The Business of Medicine: The Definitive Guide to Help New Physicians Start Their Career on the Right Path and Avoid Costly Mistakes, tackles what medical training ignores: contract negotiation, non-competes, choosing the right CPA and attorney, and understanding your self-worth.Ben and Dr. Giep discuss why new physicians get blindsided by job offers, how to vet a practice properly, and the reality of community neonatology versus academic medicine. They also explore the growing role of AI in healthcare and what it means for the next generation of physicians. Whether you're finishing fellowship or reconsidering your current position, this conversation offers practical guidance on taking control of your career—and avoiding costly mistakes along the way.

In this episode, Dr. Christian Schmahl from Heidelberg University and Mannheim, Germany, answers a listener's question and talks about his experimental research assessing how seeing blood affects heart rate and arousal among both those who engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and those who don't. He also shares insights into the role of self and blood in ritual and nonritual self-injury, including examples from different cultures about how they may interpret blood differently in the context of self-harm and even trance-like states.To learn more about Dr. Schmahl and his work, visit here.

He examines the ancient name Pantera, which appears in early texts and has been linked to both the family of Joseph and a specific Roman soldier stationed in Germany. By analyzing a nineteenth-century archaeological discovery of a tombstone belonging to a soldier from the Sidon region, Tabor investigates whether this individual could be the man mentioned in ancient traditions. While traditional scholarship identifies Josephas the father, Tabor uses archaeological evidence and linguistic clues to consider alternative possibilities. His work seeks to reconstruct the life of Mary by synthesizing fragmentary historical records and physical artifacts. This investigation highlights the complexities of tracing ancestral lineages through the intersection of biblical tradition and Roman military history. MORE TOMORROW, CHRISTMAS DAY. 1687

This episode was originally recorded in July 2025, and updated in December 2025. Happy Holidays from the Zero team. When exactly China’s emissions peak will make a big difference to the fate of the planet. That moment has come, according to Lauri Myllyvirta, co-founder of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. A combination of factors – including a huge deployment of renewables and electrification of transport – has put China’s emissions into a structural decline. This week on Zero, Akshat Rathi asks Myllyvirta how confident he is that this really is a peak? What’s behind the decline in emissions? And how will the trade war with the US affect China’s climate and energy policies in the years to come? Explore further: Lauri's latest analysis for Carbon Brief. Global Carbon Budget analysis.

If you have ADHD and sleep feels like a constant struggle, you're not imagining it—and you're definitely not alone. Research shows that 70–80% of adults with ADHD have chronic sleep problems, most commonly falling asleep too late and being unable to shift earlier, no matter how hard they try. For many of us, this pattern starts in childhood and is deeply tied to our biology.In this solo episode, I explain why ADHD brains are wired for later sleep, how “social jetlag” (early school and work schedules) creates ongoing sleep debt, and why so many ADHD adults are surviving on 5–6 hours of sleep when our brains actually need more. The tricky part? The symptoms of sleep deprivation—poor focus, low motivation, memory issues, irritability, and emotional dysregulation—look almost identical to ADHD itself.We dive into chronotherapy, a science-based approach that works with your circadian rhythm instead of fighting it. I break down how light exposure, strategic timing, and gentle sleep-wake adjustments can help regulate your internal clock without perfectionism or rigid routines.And yes—we talk about sunlight. Morning light is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for ADHD regulation. I share how light therapy glasses, sun lamps, melatonin, and intentional light exposure can support better sleep, better focus, and a calmer nervous system overall.If you've been blaming yourself for sleep issues your brain never signed up for, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a much more realistic path forward.Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

Flavanols are plant compounds in cocoa, berries, and tea with low bioavailability, meaning only a small portion enters the bloodstream A new animal study found that oral flavanol doses of 25 to 50 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) activated the subjects' brains within minutes Flavanols are a type of flavonoid within the polyphenol family. This hierarchy clarifies their differences and explains why foods have unique combinations that offer specific health benefits If you choose cocoa flavanol supplements, don't fall for flashy marketing; whenever possible, stick to a nutritious food-first approach Along with consuming flavanol-rich foods, pairing them with regular physical activity and a nutrient-dense, plant-focused diet helps support long-term brain health and cardiovascular resilience
