We are at a unique point in history where there is finally an alternative to human coding. If AI can write the code effectively, what is left for the software engineer?In this episode, Joris Conijn (AWS CTO at Xebia) argues that the era of "just coding" is over. We discuss why senior developers are safe (for now), why juniors are at risk of never learning the fundamentals, and how "Shadow AI" is forcing companies to change their security strategies.Most importantly, we break down the difference between a "Programmer" and a "Software Engineer" with the introduction of agentic tools. If you want to future-proof your career and move from writing lines of code to designing systems, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we cover:Why banning AI at work actually increases your security riskHow to use AI to automate the boring parts of the SDLC (requirements & user stories)The critical difference between "Coding" and "System Architecture"Why you should check your AI Agents into your Git repositoryThe 20-year problem: what happens when engineers never learn the fundamentals?Connect with Joris Conijn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorisconijnTIMESTAMPS00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:11 - What Keeps a CTO Excited About Tech? 00:02:58 - Stop Being the "Department of No" in Security 00:05:28 - The Real Risk of Banning AI at Work 00:06:32 - When Developers Hold the Organization Hostage 00:08:14 - The Hidden Dangers of Instant AI Code Fixes 00:09:50 - Will Future Devs Understand Object Oriented Programming? 00:11:36 - Using AI to Accelerate Learning vs Copy-Pasting 00:13:17 - Why Testing Matters More When AI Writes Code 00:16:42 - Automating the Boring Parts of the SDLC 00:19:06 - How to Turn Meeting Transcripts into User Stories 00:21:36 - The Critical Skill of Making Implicit Knowledge Explicit 00:23:10 - Why You Should Stop Obsessing Over Story Points 00:27:46 - The "A-Team" Approach to High-Trust Development 00:29:54 - Running Parallel Workflows with AI Agents 00:33:34 - Pro Tip: Check Your AI Agents into Git 00:35:52 - Balancing Autonomy and Governance in Large Teams 00:39:19 - There Is Finally an Alternative to Human Coders 00:41:07 - Programmer vs Software Engineer: What is the Difference? 00:44:45 - How to Teach Software Engineering in the AI Era#SoftwareEngineering #SystemDesign #AIAgents

In this episode of the B2B Marketing Excellence & AI Podcast, Donna Peterson discusses a growing leadership issue inside companies using AI.Many teams are increasing speed. Fewer are defining direction.AI accelerates output, but without documented guardrails, it can quietly amplify misalignment across departments. When messaging, tone, and strategy drift, trust weakens, especially in long sales cycle B2B environments.Using a practical analogy from Olympic Super-G skiing, Donna explains why leaders must define the boundaries that keep teams aligned and moving efficiently toward the same goal.In This Episode:Why AI increases both speed and riskHow unclear direction creates internal driftThe leadership cost of repeating yourselfWhat true AI guardrails includeWhy monthly AI alignment meetings are essentialThe risk of layering new tools without structureHow shared templates improve consistencyThe connection between alignment and trustKey Leadership Insight:If you are repeating tone, mission, or positioning guidance across departments, it may not be a personnel issue. It may be a documentation issue.AI amplifies whatever structure exists.Without guardrails, inconsistency scales faster.With guardrails, trust compounds.Practical Action Steps. After listening, consider:Writing your company's WHY in one clear paragraph.Defining your tone in five specific words.Reviewing whether current AI outputs reflect that tone.Evaluating whether your team is aligned around shared templates.Scheduling a monthly AI alignment discussion if one does not exist.If this conversation resonates, the full episode provides detailed examples and implementation guidance you can apply immediately. Listen to the complete episode to understand how to build AI guardrails that protect your mission and strengthen long-term growth.If your organization is ready to bring structure and clarity to your AI implementation, we would welcome the opportunity to work with your leadership team. *** Reach out to dpeterson@worldinnovators.comif you'd like help building a marketing strategy that builds relationships and/or AI training for individuals or full teams.*** Visit www.worldinnovators.comfor more resources on building stronger marketing and leadership strategies.*** Subscribe to the B2B Marketing Excellence & AI Podcast for weekly insights into marketing, leadership, and the future of AI.

On this Monday education session of Wealth Coffee Chats, we tackle one of the biggest fears in property investing: “What if I lose my home?”For many homeowners, the idea of using equity to invest feels risky. More debt. More interest. Longer loan terms. Rising rates. It can feel like you're moving backwards instead of building wealth.But what if the issue isn't using equity — it's how you structure it?In this episode, we break down:Why fear stops people from accessing their home equityThe common mistakes that make investing feel unsafeWhat cross-collateralisation is — and why it can put your home at riskHow the “all-monies clause” can limit your flexibilityWhy using one bank for everything isn't always the safest optionHow to structure loans across separate lenders to protect your assetsHow equity is calculated (80% LVR explained simply)A real-world scenario showing how growth can help recycle equityHow to create flexibility and control while protecting your homeWe walk through a practical example of releasing equity correctly, building a “brick wall” between properties, and setting up a structure that allows growth to eventually pay down non-deductible debt.The key takeaway?It's not about taking on reckless risk. It's about structuring smartly, protecting your home, and creating flexibility for the future.If you've ever worried that using equity means gambling your family home, this episode will help demystify the strategy and show you how it can be done safely and effectively.As always, if you'd like to explore how this applies to your own situation, reach out to the advisory team for a personalised discussion.Have a great week ahead!

In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we examine economies of scale, why growth strengthens some businesses while destroying value for others, and how cost structure ultimately determines whether scale becomes an advantage or a liability.Economies of scale are often treated as a vague benefit of getting bigger, but this episode breaks the concept down to its financial mechanics. We focus on fixed cost leverage, variable cost intensity, and operational leverage to explain why companies like Walmart, Amazon, and Costco become more efficient as they grow, while others struggle despite rapid revenue expansion.Using real-world examples, we show how scale changes unit economics, pricing power, margin resilience, and capital allocation decisions. We also explore the limits of scale and why growth alone does not guarantee profitability when variable costs dominate the business model.In this episode, we cover:What economies of scale actually mean in financial termsHow fixed costs and variable costs shape margin expansionWhy fixed cost leverage lowers unit costs as volume increasesHow purchasing power and logistics scale reinforce competitive advantageWhy Amazon accepted years of losses to build scale-driven efficiencyHow Costco uses scale to support a membership-based profit modelWhy Blue Apron's cost structure prevented profitable scalingThe role of operational leverage in amplifying upside and downside riskHow finance teams evaluate breakeven volumes and capacity utilizationWhy scale must reduce costs faster than complexity increases themThis episode also explains how finance leaders use these concepts in practice. Decisions around investing ahead of demand, expanding capacity, pricing aggressively, or slowing growth all depend on whether scale is improving unit economics or simply increasing exposure.This episode is designed for:Corporate finance professionalsFP&A and strategic finance teamsInvestors and analysts evaluating business modelsLeaders making capital allocation and growth decisions

Alcohol & Cancer: Understanding the Risk

The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast

Last week marked World Cancer Day, and in this episode, Molly revisits an important—and often misunderstood—topic: the relationship between alcohol and cancer.This is not a new conversation, and it's not a reaction to headlines. Instead, it's part of an ongoing commitment to helping you understand the science well enough to make informed, intentional choices about alcohol—without fear, shame, or all-or-nothing thinking.One reason this topic continues to matter is a striking gap in awareness: while nearly 90% of adults recognize smoking as a cancer risk, fewer than half realize that alcohol is also classified as a carcinogen Project 1 (50). That lack of awareness makes informed choice difficult—and that's what this episode aims to address.In this episode, you'll learn:Why alcohol is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, and what that designation actually meansThe seven types of cancer that are clearly linked to alcohol use, including breast cancerHow alcohol increases cancer risk at a biological level (acetaldehyde, inflammation, hormones, and nutrient disruption)Why alcohol research in humans is mostly observational, and what that means for how we interpret the dataThe critical difference between relative risk and absolute risk—and why this distinction mattersWhat experts mean when they say there is “no safe level” of alcohol for cancer riskHow to think about cancer risk through an Alcohol Minimalist, harm-reduction lensKey takeaways:Alcohol does increase cancer risk, but risk is dose-dependent and cumulative, not absolute or immediateRelative risk headlines often sound scarier than the actual, absolute numbersYou do not need perfection—or abstinence—to meaningfully reduce riskReducing frequency, quantity, and duration of drinking patterns mattersAlcohol Minimalism is about reducing unnecessary exposure, not eliminating all riskThis episode is about clarity, not commands. Science isn't here to scare you—it's here to inform you.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by alcohol and health messaging, this episode offers a calmer, more grounded way to understand the risks and decide what feels right for you.As always, choose peace.Resources mentioned:TIME Magazine article on alcohol and cancer riskCDC information on alcohol-related cancersAlcohol Minimalist framework for informed, harm-reduction decision makingIf this episode was helpful, consider sharing it with someone who would appreciate a thoughtful, non-alarmist conversation about alcohol and health.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this end-of-year predictions episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security Founder & CEO Joseph M. Saunders and CTO Shane Fry to discuss what will define ICS and critical infrastructure security in 2026. The episode explores a bold prediction: We will see a major ICS breach originating from a web application vulnerability running directly on an embedded control device. As full Linux operating systems, Node.js apps, and web servers increasingly appear inside OT equipment, long-standing IT vulnerabilities are colliding with systems that are difficult—or impossible—to patch. Joe and Shane dig into why detection-only strategies fall short in constrained, long-lived devices, and why secure by design engineering, memory safety, and runtime protections are becoming essential. They also discuss the importance of accurate, build-time Software Bills of Materials, especially as regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act push manufacturers toward transparency, accountability, and provable supply-chain visibility. Together, they cover: Why ICS exploitation is shifting from theoretical to operationalHow web app and RCE vulnerabilities are creeping into OT devicesThe limits of detection-only security strategiesWhy memory safety and runtime protections reduce exploitable riskHow build-time SBOMs improve vulnerability tracking and trustThe podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from RunSafe Security, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

In this solo episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons delivers a clear, evidence-based breakdown of modern breast cancer screening and prevention. She explains why so many women are confused about breast health and how outdated screening practices, lack of informed consent, and drive fear rather than clarity.Dr. Jenn distinguishes between screening and diagnostic imaging, emphasizing that screening for healthy, asymptomatic women should be safe. She introduces innovative, non-radiation screening tools including the Auria Tears Test, which identifies inflammatory precursors to breast cancer, and the QT Scan, a pain-free, radiation-free 3D imaging technology.The episode addresses common concerns around mammograms, biopsies, dense breasts, estrogen, and hormone replacement therapy.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The difference between screening and diagnostic breast imagingWhat mammograms do - and don't - actually tell youHow inflammation shows up before breast cancer developsHow the  Auria Tears Test identifies early inflammatory riskHow the QT scan can be used for screeningWhether biopsies can cause cancer to spreadHow estrogen and hormone replacement fit into breast healthEpisode Timeline Highlights:00:00 Introduction to Breast Health Awareness01:57 Understanding Mammograms: Screening vs. Diagnostic09:11 Innovative Screening Methods: QT and  Auria Test16:20 The Importance of Breast Cancer Awareness17:55 The Future of Breast Cancer Screening23:07 Biopsy Safety and Dense Breasts28:13 Debunking Myths: Estrogen and Breast Cancer32:01 Hormone Replacement Therapy: A Health Plan PerspectiveTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with RHMD, visit:https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/discovery-callTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.realhealthmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmonsTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with RHMD, visit: https://jennsimmons.simplero.com/page/377266?kuid=327aca17-5135-44cf-9210-c0b77a56e26d&kref=vOKy0sAiorrKTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.realhealthmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

In this Deep Dive episode of The Trip Lab, we unpack hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) beyond the oversimplified “LDL bad, HDL good” narrative. We also take a clear-eyed look at the most common concerns people have about statins, what the evidence actually shows, and where these medications fit—and don't fit—within a thoughtful, individualized approach to cardiovascular risk.From there, we explore integrative strategies for managing elevated cholesterol and why, for many patients, lifestyle, metabolic health, and inflammation-targeted interventions may be more effective than medications alone.In this episode, we discuss:Why cholesterol is biologically essential and not inherently pathologicalThe limitations of relying on LDL alone to assess cardiovascular riskHow inflammation, insulin resistance, genetics, hormones, and lifestyle influence lipid metabolismWhen elevated cholesterol truly signals disease—and when it may reflect a compensatory or adaptive responseThe role of advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP and CAC scoresWhy risk stratification—not fear-based medicine—should guide clinical decision-makingWhat statins can (and cannot do) and we break down the concerns people have with themWhy integrative approaches (nutrition, exercise, herbal options and mind-body medicine) truly treat the root cause of diseaseThis episode is for clinicians, patients, and anyone looking to move beyond simplistic cholesterol narratives toward a more nuanced, evidence-based understanding of cardiovascular health.

Why Stronger Isn't Always Better: Rethinking Performance Training for Young Athletes with Matthew McKayIn youth sports, performance training often prioritizes strength, dominance, and early specialization — but at what cost?In Part 1 of this two-part series, Matthew McKay returns to the FAKTR Podcast to challenge some of the most common assumptions in youth performance training. This conversation reframes what “success” actually looks like for developing athletes and why chasing strength numbers too early can quietly undermine long-term health, consistency, and performance.Rather than focusing on short-term dominance, this episode explores how movement quality, training age, and foundational strength skills play a far more critical role in helping young athletes stay healthy and competitive over time.This episode is essential listening for healthcare providers, strength coaches, athletic trainers, and anyone working with middle school and high school athletes.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why strength should be treated as a skill before it's treated as a metricHow early performance gains can mask poor movement quality and compensationThe risks of prioritizing dominance over durability in young athletesWhy many youth training programs unintentionally increase injury riskHow movement patterns reveal readiness, limitations, and future risk long before pain appears

In this episode, Nathan Fabian, Chief Sustainable Systems Officer at the PRI, examines rising economic inequality and why it poses a material, systemic risk for long-term investors. He is joined by Delaney Greig (Director of Investor Stewardship, University Pension Plan Ontario), Emma Douglas (Sustainable Investment & Stewardship Lead, Brightwell; BT Pension Scheme), and David Wood (Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School).Together, they explore how inequality affects economic stability, corporate performance, long-horizon portfolio returns, and what asset owners can do to respond.OverviewTen years after the adoption of the SDGs, inequality is increasing across major economies. The top 1% now holds over 40% of global wealth, and widening gaps in income, labour rights and access to opportunity are shaping economic and political outcomes.The guests discuss:Why inequality is a non-diversifiable, systemic riskHow it undermines growth, resilience and productivityThe implications for diversified investorsThe interplay between inequality, climate, nature and social outcomesHow asset owners can use stewardship, integration and policy engagement to address key driversDetailed Coverage1. Why inequality matters for investorsDelaney and Emma outline why rising inequality threatens long-term returns: weakening demand, increasing volatility, reducing workforce resilience, and fuelling political instability. Both highlight evidence linking excessive pay gaps and poor labour practices to weaker corporate performance.2. What the research showsDavid summarises major findings from the IMF, OECD and others showing that inequality constrains growth rather than accelerates it. He notes that investors have clearer data and frameworks today than ever before, and that social issues have become central to responsible investment.3. Making inequality actionableEmma discusses a new analysis tool developed with Cambri to map social risks across sectors, revealing under-examined areas such as technology, media and natural-resource-intensive industries.Delaney explains UPP's “top-and-bottom guardrails” approach, engaging on excessive executive pay at the top and fundamental labour rights at the bottom.4. Stewardship, integration and policyThe panel discusses:Embedding social risks into investment processesSector-level prioritisationCollective action on labour rightsThe emerging TISFD standardHow investors should (and should not) engage in political debates around taxation, labour markets and redistribution5.

and Anna get very practical about how to actually talk to people who are running these archetypes, including when you are the one in the villain seat.They move from real stories about teeth, genetics, and breast health into concrete language, strategies, and “do not do this” warnings for each villain.This is the “how to handle them in real life” episode.In this episodeKristina and Anna explore:How the Vengeful Martyr shows up in health, caregiving, and self neglectWhy dental and breast health can become a mirror for martyrdomThe role of Divisive Immortal catastrophizing in medical decisions and safetyHow to make choices that are logical, not fear based, even around cancer riskHow to actually talk to:Evasive ExpertDivisive ImmortalHungry ShapeshifterRighteous BullyThe Nothing / Invisible DestroyerThey also name the difference between doing “self work” on your villain and learning to stay in relationship with someone else's.The Vengeful Martyr: health, teeth, and breast tissueAnna shares:How her “Vengeful Martyr era” lined up with sleep deprivation, breastfeeding, and her first major dental issuesThe realization that she invests in visible hygiene and beauty, while neglecting things no one sees, like gums, pap smears, and internal healthA concrete shift: flossing, water picking, changing dentists, and choosing a provider who does not shame herA genetic test that revealed increased risk for breast cancer and skin cancer, and her decision to act now rather than “martyr” herself by ignoring itWhy she is seriously considering prophylactic bilateral mastectomies as an act of self nourishment, not fearKristina reflects on:The symbolism of breasts as sources of nourishment and pleasure, and what it means to “retire” the functional side of them in order to care for the selfHow the Nourisher legend of the Vengeful Martyr is “drink while you pour,” and how that plays out in real bodies and real choicesThe overlap between Vengeful Martyr and Divisive Immortal when it comes to health, anxiety, and medical systemsDivisive Immortal: fear, loyalty, and catastropheThey unpack:How the Divisive Immortal can show up as catastrophizing doctors, shaming providers, and rigid ideas about safetyThe Enneagram 6 “loyal skeptic” flavor, and how loyalty plus fear becomes rigidityThe difference between making a logical preventive decision and making a fear based decisionHow two people can face the same medical risk but be activated in different villains, one in Vengeful Martyr, one in Divisive ImmortalCommunication tips for Divisive Immortal:Avoid “us versus them” language and triangulationEmphasize “you and me versus the problem”Reassure safety and solidaritySay things like:“I feel the fear you are feeling, and I understand it”“I am not your enemy, we are on the same team”“Our relationship is bigger than this argument”Evasive Expert: logic, avoidance, and emotional shutdownFor the Evasive Expert, Kristina and Anna cover:How they over rely on logic and under express emotion, or explode when emotion finally leaks outClassic tells: “I do not know how I feel,” or answering questions with cerebral analysisWhy approaching them with pure emotion makes them disappearCommunication tips for Evasive Expert:Lead with logic, not dramaPresent the impact as a logical chain: “A and B happened, which led to C and D, can you see why I might be upset”Use “logic puzzles” to pierce the emotional shellIn full blow up mode, give them time to process, then return with calm, structured reasoningHungry Shapeshifter: attention, performance, and multiplicityFor the Hungry Shapeshifter, they discuss:The need for attention, lightness, and performanceHow calling out their shifting identities can feel humiliating, not helpfulWhy dramatic outbursts are often releases, not always indicators of deep relational ruptureCommunication tips for Hungry Shapeshifter:Let them perform, be the audience rather than the critic in the momentNotice patterns over time, not just one dramatic sceneWhen they are calm and grounded, take them more seriously than in full performance modeInvite coherence by asking, “Which part of you feels most true right now”Righteous Bully: conviction, protection, and curiosityFor the Righteous Bully, Anna shares how working this arc has changed what even triggers her, and why things that used to set her off no longer land.They cover:The intensity and danger of the Righteous Bully when they have reached their limitHow they will burn things down to protect what they love or believe inThe shift from externalized bullying to internalized self criticismCommunication tips for Righteous Bully:Be deeply curious, not defensiveReflect their point of view back accurately so they feel heardUse permissive language:“Would you be open to hearing my perspective”“My love for you is bigger than this disagreement”Do not try to tell them they are wrong in the heat of the moment, it only adds fuelLater, you decide whether you want a Righteous Bully in your life, even a more integrated oneThe Nothing / Invisible Destroyer: avoidance, presence, and tiny actionsFor The Nothing, they highlight:Question deflection, disappearing into thought, and vanishing from shared spacesDeep sensitivity to rejection and criticismDifficulty taking action, even when they intellectually understand the issueCommunication tips for The Nothing:Name and value their presence: “It means so much just having you in the room with me”Invite tiny actions, “Can we take one small step toward this together”Use humor and embodiment practices to bring them

Illuminate Podcast: Shining Light on the Darkness of Pornography

We often hear minimizing phrases like “It only happened once” or “Why make such a big deal out of it?” The intention may be to calm fears or move forward quickly—but instead, it often creates more confusion, pressure, and disconnection.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why “just once” almost never feels small to either partner, and why minimizing actually blocks healing instead of speeding it up.Why “just once” lands as dismissal for the betrayed partner and activates the body's threat responseHow minimizing traps the recovering partner in shame and prevents genuine repairThe hidden pressure this phrase puts on the betrayed partner to get over it quickly and silence their own instinctsThe truth behind one-time breaches: even a single betrayal communicates capability, vulnerability, and riskHow couples get stuck in collusion, both wanting to move on but feeling unsafe or unheardWhat healthy repair looks like instead: honest conversation, space to ask questions, and freedom to explore impactEven if a behavior happened only once, its meaning is never small. One act communicates capacity, shifts safety, and opens the door to doubt. Real healing starts when both partners face the truth openly—not when they minimize it.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Clinicians will often hear their clients express deeply felt needs, only to admit they've never shared them with their partner—usually due to fear of vulnerability or a defensive, adversarial dynamic that makes intimacy feel unsafe.  In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. James Cordova—Professor of Psychology at Clark University and creator of The Relationship Checkup—to discuss his new book, The Mindful Path to Intimacy. Dr. Cordova's book offers a powerful framework for understanding and transforming these relational patterns through the lens of mindfulness, compassion, and shared vulnerability.In our conversation, we explore:Why intimacy is often more terrifying than people expect—and why it's worth the riskHow mindfulness can serve as both a spiritual and relational practiceThe idea that attention is the most basic form of loveWhy many couples shift from infatuation to frustration, and what can be done about itHow interpersonal neurobiology helps us understand the push-pull of closeness and withdrawalWays to navigate shame, trauma histories, and fear of being fully seen in loveWhat distinguishes couples who flourish from those who simply coexist. Dr. James Cordova is a Professor of Psychology at Clark University and the creator of The Relationship Checkup, a pioneering, preventative intervention designed to assess and strengthen couples' relationships before problems escalate.
