There's a new wellness trend focused on an obscure capillary system that moves fluid around the body. Things like lymphatic walking, vibration plates, and compression boots have been touted as ways to stimulate the lymphatic system to combat bloating, flush away toxins, and generally promote health. So what is the lymphatic system, and what does it do? And is there anything to these claims? Flora gets some answers with the help of two experts: Timothy Padera, a researcher who has dedicated his career to better understanding how the lymphatic system works; and physical therapist Marc Miller, who treats cancer patients with manual lymphatic drainage. Guests:Dr. Timothy Padera is an investigator at Mass General Research Institute and a professor of radiation oncology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Marc Miller is a certified lymphedema specialist and senior physical therapist at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Send us Fan MailBen and Eli dig into a Journal of Perinatology study that asks a deceptively simple question: can we trust birth certificate data to tell us how many babies actually need NICU care? The answer, it turns out, is no. Nearly 40% of NICU admissions are missing from birth certificates, with the biggest gaps among full-term and late-preterm infants, and troubling racial disparities in which admissions get missed. Ben and Eli unpack what this means for how states and hospitals allocate resources, why underreporting could be quietly starving NICUs of funding and attention, and why pairing solid epidemiologic data with individual bedside stories may be the most effective way to make the case for better-resourced newborn care.----Birth certificate data substantially misrepresent actual NICU admissions, including among most vulnerable.

Sherry Turkle is one of the most influential voices in the study of how humans relate to technology, and this conversation with her covers new ground on that subject. Turkle is the Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT, founding director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, and a licensed clinical psychologist. For nearly five decades, beginning with the earliest days of personal computing, she has studied the psychological and social consequences of the machines people build and the relationships people form with them. Her earlier books, including The Second Self, Alone Together, and Reclaiming Conversation, have shaped how a generation of researchers, technologists, and leaders think about digital life — and Alone Together, published over fifteen years ago, anticipated with striking accuracy a future in which people would come to see robots and machines as companions worthy of real emotional investment. That future has arrived. Turkle’s newest book, Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines, examines what happens when AI chatbots move beyond productivity tools and begin positioning themselves as friends, romantic partners, and therapists — always available, endlessly patient, and asking nothing in return. Her concern is not that these systems are unconvincing, but that they are convincing enough: that people are beginning to accept the performance of empathy as a substitute for empathy itself, with consequences for solitude, intimacy, and the capacity for genuine human connection. The conversation traces Turkle’s intellectual journey from her early predictions to the present moment, explores what is fundamentally different about AI compared to the technologies she has studied before, and presses into the distinction between authentic care and its convincing imitation. It moves into the workplace, examining what happens to human agency, purpose, and mastery when AI absorbs more of the thinking and communicating people once did themselves — and what is at stake when the relationship between a manager and the people who report to them, long understood as one of the most powerful drivers of well-being, becomes a task AI is asked to perform rather than a bond a human being chooses to show up for. The discussion also turns a critical eye toward the technology industry itself, questioning predictions from prominent tech leaders about AI companionship and probing the well-documented pattern of executives who limit their own children’s exposure to the very technologies they build. It closes with a forward-looking question: what must be protected, deliberately and urgently, to ensure AI serves humanity rather than the reverse. The post Sherry Turkle: What AI Can’t Give Us at Work appeared first on Mark C. Crowley.

Own or be owned. That's Codie Sanchez's ultimatum for anyone serious about their financial future. The founder of Contrarian Thinking and author of the new book Own or Be Owned returns to Rapid Response to make her most impassioned case yet for why buying a small business is the most reliable path to wealth that most people are too scared to take. She breaks down what "cowboying" your business is costing you, and why AI isn't a shortcut for everyone, but instead an accelerator for what's already inside you. Plus, the industries she'd invest in right now, and why most small business owners are solving the wrong problems.

For over a decade we have mispronounced a certain publisher's name (duh!) but it's never too late to learn… The Swedish election results are more or less in, and hopefully it's a sign of reason that the party spreading the most disinformation lost almost 15% of their seats in parliament.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showHere is the question I get asked about EPM four times a week: does he need another round?And here is the question almost nobody asks: what is actually limiting this horse right now, and which part of his recovery has never been addressed?Those two questions send you down two completely different years. One is a loop. The other is a plan.In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, Functional Equine Nutritionist, takes apart the assumptions that keep horses stuck in the medication cycle after EPM, and lays out what an organized recovery actually looks like on top of appropriate veterinary treatment.In this episode:Why a positive blood test means exposure, not active disease, and the three legs an EPM diagnosis actually stands onWhat to ask your vet for, and why writing down the neurologic grade today pays off two years from nowImprovement versus complete recovery, and what the ten to twenty percent relapse figure really tells you in both directionsThe difference between a horse who declined and a horse who never fully came back, and why they need opposite responsesWhat is usually left after treatment: residual deficit, lost conditioning, compensatory patterns, nutritional gaps, and proprioceptive confidenceThe honest vitamin E conversation. Test it, do not guess it, and why it is correcting a nutritional status rather than treating the diseaseThe six step recovery order of operations applied to a neurologic horse, with minerals doing the work of nerve conduction and muscle contractionWhat the Minerals and Metals Mane Test can and cannot tell you about an EPM horseWhy you do not rebuild a neurologic horse out of a bucketThis episode picks up after veterinary diagnosis and treatment. Nothing here is an argument against treating EPM. It is what belongs on top of that treatment.Mentioned: The EPM Class Minerals and Metals Mane Test: https://equine-energy-medicine.myshopify.com/products/minerals-and-metals-mane-test?variant=66748496150832Find all the resources listed here: linktr.ee/equineenergymedAudrey is not an MD or DVM and has never implied or claimed to be either.

"MK Confidential" follows the case to trial. In her opening statement, prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick doesn't start with chloroform or duct tape. She begins with the story of a little girl, walking the jury through every day of Caylee's short life before landing on the thirty-one days no one reported her missing. Defense attorney Jose Baez fires back with a name the prosecution never said out loud: Roy Kronk, the meter reader who found Caylee's skull.Megyn sifts through the physical evidence piece by piece. A trunk that smelled like nothing to Casey's boyfriend— but smells like “death” to a tow-yard owner three weeks later, a hair traced back to someone from Caylee's maternal line inside that trunk, and an online search about how to make chloroform. Meanwhile, three medical examiners looking at the same skull, are unable to agree on whether that tape held Caylee's jaw in place or was never holding anything at all.By the time the state rests, it has built a case on a mother's lies stacked one on top of another — leaving the defense one afternoon to explain them away.

What if science is finally catching up to the supernatural?In part 2 of our episode with Dr. Helané Wahbeh (Director of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and author of The Science of Channeling) she takes us inside the cutting edge of consciousness research, revealing what science is uncovering about channeling, psychic abilities, energy healing, telepathy, and the non-material aspects of reality.As one of the world's leading researchers studying psi phenomena, Dr. Wahbeh explores where the evidence stands, why mainstream science is beginning to take these topics more seriously, and what it could mean for our understanding of consciousness itself.Dr. Wahbeh breaks down:- How scientists actually study channeling and just how common channeling really is- Why respected scientific institutions are now researching channeling, telepathy, psychic phenomena, and consciousness, and what this says about the shift beyond a purely materialist worldview- Can channeling be used to contact extraterrestrials? What evidence would actually be required to prove it scientifically- Fascinating common themes reported by people who claim to channel extraterrestrial intelligences- Groundbreaking telepathy research showing surprising results between emotionally bonded pairs, and what it may reveal about nonlocal consciousness- Why our current definition of scientific proof may be too narrow when investigating paranormal and supernatural experiences- Latest research into energy medicine and Reiki, including studies suggesting measurable physical changes that may help explain how energetic healing works- Do spirit guides play a role in energy healing?- What's really happening during exorcisms, spirit attachments, and the clearing of negative entities?- Can energy work help heal or even reverse intergenerational trauma?- How Dr. Wahbeh's own openness to psi phenomena has transformed her daily life, worldview, and even the way she parents- Could the world's religions eventually expand to include scientifically studied psychic and extrasensory abilities?- What a future science of consciousness might look like, and whether we're moving toward a comprehensive explanation of the non-material worldThis conversation explores one of the biggest questions humanity has ever asked: Can science investigate experiences once dismissed as supernatural?Whether you're fascinated by channeling, telepathy, consciousness research, psychic phenomena, extraterrestrials, energy healing, spirituality, or the future of science itself, this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown offers a rare look at where rigorous research and extraordinary human experience intersect.If you've ever wondered whether consciousness extends beyond the brain, or whether science is on the verge of redefining reality, you won't want to miss this conversation!Go to https://alyahealth.com/ and use code BREAKER for 20% off your first order.Go to https://helixsleep.com/breakdown to receive up to 30% off your Helix mattress.Visit https://drinkag1.com/BREAKDOWN and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order.Learn more about IONS: https://noetic.org/breakdown/IONS free live webinars: https://noetic.org/experience/connections-live/IONS peer-reviewed papers: https://noetic.org/science/publications/Participate in IONS research: https://noetic.org/science/participate-research/IONS Research Prize on UAPs: https://noetic.org/prize/Dr. Helané Wahbeh's book, The Science of Channeling: https://noetic.org/explore/science-of-channeling/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Perimenopause affects more than 4 billion people, but has historically been neglected by medicine. It's the time before menopause when hormones start fluctuating wildly, leaving women with brain fog, hot flashes, dropping bone density, and mood changes. Thanks in part to social media, it's more prominent in public discourse than it used to be.But it's not just awareness that's blown up: It's also the promise that you don't have to suffer like those before you, thanks to hormone therapy. After decades of controversy over prescribing estradiol and progesterone due to concerns of increased breast cancer and heart disease risk, new research has many providers reconsidering their approach.Joining Flora to sort out the science are reproductive endocrinologists Nanette Santoro and Genevieve Neal-Perry, who are both running some of the biggest long-term studies on perimenopause and the effects of hormone therapy. Guests:Dr. Nanette Santoro is a reproductive endocrinologist at the University of Colorado Anschutz and is the president of the Endocrine Society.Dr. Genevieve Neal-Perry is a reproductive endocrinologist and the OB-GYN department chair at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Why do some healthy habits become part of your life while others disappear after a few days or weeks? Dr. Gemma Newman joins Chuck Carroll to explore the psychology behind lasting lifestyle change — and why willpower alone may not be enough. They discuss research suggesting that sustainable change is often connected to identity, purpose, personal values, and finding a deeper "why." Dr. Newman also shares her BLEND IT framework for helping patients, friends, and family make healthier choices without lecturing, judging, or telling them what to do. Plus, discover how whole-food plant-based diets may support weight management without constant calorie counting, why high-fiber lower-calorie-density foods can help with hunger, the role of volume eating, and how healthy eating can become something you genuinely enjoy. You'll also hear a deeply personal discussion about compassion, self-worth, motivation, and why major life transitions can sometimes become powerful opportunities for change. Dr. Newman is also the author of Get Well, Stay Well. Make a gift to support The Exam Room Podcast and the life-changing work of the Physicians Committee.

What if one of the biggest questions of perimenopause isn't simply “How do I feel better right now?” but “Who do I want to be 20, 30, or 40 years from now?” In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with women's health expert Dr. Stephanie Estima to talk about the side of midlife that rarely makes it into conversations about hormones. They explore what happens when the high-functioning woman who has always been able to handle everything begins to notice that her capacity has changed. Stephanie shares how she can no longer work the same 10- or 12-hour days she once could, why movement has become essential for her mental clarity, and how perimenopause has made her more discerning about where she puts her energy. But this conversation goes much deeper than symptoms. From female friendship and motherhood to living according to your values, Stephanie and Mariza ask what it actually means to build a life and body capable of carrying you through the second half of your life.

Monthly Sponsors:North Dakota TourismWeatherbyHunters have observed and debated changes in duck migration and winter distributions for as long as both have existed. Now, new research helps answer some of the biggest questions. In this special collaboration between the Ducks Unlimited Podcast and the North American Waterfowler Podcast, DU's Senior Waterfowl Scientist, Dr. Mike Brasher, joins Elliott Snider; Dr. Lisa Webb, Supervisor, USGS Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Program; and Dr. Heath Hagy, Project Leader, USFWS Habitat and Population Evaluation Team, to break down the findings of two recent studies that shed light on this captivating and hotly contested topic. The studies and conversation explore more than 60 years of waterfowl band recovery, harvest survey, and distribution data to examine whether ducks are wintering farther north than they once did. The group discusses what the studies found, where migration patterns appear to be changing, where they're not, and why answering these questions is far more complicated than many people realize. Topics CoveredAre ducks wintering farther north?What 60 years of band recovery data revealsDifferences between mallards, pintails, and blue-winged tealWhy migration changes vary by species and monthThe role of weather, habitat, and agricultureWhat hunters see versus what large-scale datasets showHow migration science is studied and evaluatedWhat questions still remain unansweredHow none of this would be possible without huntersListen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS:Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you're winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.

Sea level rise. It's a phrase everyone's supposed to be afraid of, and almost nobody can picture. A couple of millimeters a year sounds too small to matter, until you find out coastal wetlands have an exact, measured speed limit for how fast they can keep up, and the ocean is closing in on it. Marshes and mangroves have kept pace with a rising sea for thousands of years by building their own soil upward, layer by layer, as plants grow, die, and get buried in place. That strategy has a hard limit. Peer-reviewed research puts it at roughly 6.1 millimeters of sea level rise a year, the point past which soil simply can't build fast enough. NASA's own sea level data shows the global rate has already gone from about 2 millimeters a year in the early 1990s to roughly 4.5 millimeters a year today, nearly doubling in three decades and closing that gap fast. There's a second strategy, and it's already working in real places. When a marsh can't out-build the tide, it can move inland instead, if there's room. Maryland's Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge has lost more than 5,000 acres of marsh, nearly half its historic wetland, and faces up to three feet of sea level rise in the Chesapeake by 2100. Its 2013 Blackwater 2100 strategy uses conservation easements to pay landowners to keep migration corridors open, and it's already protected more than 3,000 acres along the Nanticoke River and Coursey Creek. This episode connects back to Monday's interview with Dr. Adam Langley and lands on what coastal communities can actually do about it. Takeaways: Marshes and mangroves survive sea level rise by building soil upward, but that strategy has a hard limit: peer-reviewed research (Saintilan et al., 2020, Science) puts it at roughly 6.1 millimeters of sea level rise a year. NASA's sea level data shows the global rate has already climbed from roughly 2 millimeters a year in the early 1990s to about 4.5 millimeters a year today, nearly doubling in three decades. When building up stops working, marshes and mangroves have a second option: shifting inland, provided there's open land behind them to move into. Maryland's Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge has already lost more than 5,000 acres of marsh, nearly half its historic wetland, and its 2013 "Blackwater 2100" strategy uses conservation easements to keep migration corridors open along the Nanticoke River and Coursey Creek. The plan is working but unfinished: roughly 812 acres are protected along Coursey Creek and 2,300 along the Nanticoke, with about 5,000 acres still unprotected.

We all know we're supposed to eat healthy — but what exactly does that mean? On this episode, what's on your plate, why it matters, and how to make sense of conflicting nutrition advice. We talk with paleoanthropologist Daniel Lieberman about what human evolution can teach us about how we should eat, look at a typical teen's sugar intake, and explore barriers to serving healthy and fresh school lunches. We all know we're supposed to limit our sugar intake — but tracking how much we're actually eating can be hard, especially given how many products, ranging from pasta sauce to salad dressing, contain added sugars. We talk with recent high school grads Joe Faranda and Jay Lopez about what they discovered after tracking their sugar intake for a week. It's a question we ask ourselves every day, multiple times a day: What should I eat? The answer has gotten increasingly complicated over the years, as our food options have ballooned, and dietary advice shifts. We talk with evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman about why humans are poorly adapted to decide what to eat, how our diets — and the way we think about them — have changed, and why nutrition labels don't give the full story. Lieberman's new book is “Fed Up: What Evolution Reveals About Food, Diet, Health and Eating Well.” Growing research on the negative health effects of ultra-processed foods has led to a call for healthier school lunches — but what does that really mean, and what would it require? Reporter Megan Myscofski visits a California school district that provides nutritious, locally sourced meals that are mostly made from scratch  — and finds out why similar efforts are out of reach for many districts.

Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson also field listener questions on orbital mechanics, neutrinos, alien communication, and time dilation.The discussion is broad, but the main thread is clear: how real-world physics shapes everything from Venus's history to the future of spaceflight and even the look of space-age uniforms.Key topicsVenus is Earth-like in size, mass, and gravity, but unlike Earth it has no moon, and the episode explores whether it may once have had one.Fred explains a modeling study led by Stephen Kane suggesting a Venus moon could have spiraled inward, crossed the Roche limit, and been torn apart by tidal forces.The team discusses what evidence might remain if Venus once consumed a moon, including possible chemical fingerprints in the atmosphere or surface.Satellite pollution is examined through the lens of reentering spacecraft, especially the growing number of Starlink reentries and their impact on the upper atmosphere.The European Space Agency's jet-based chase of two reentering Cluster spacecraft, Tango and Samba, is described as an effort to measure reentry byproducts directly.The conversation raises concerns about aluminium oxides, atmospheric chemistry, and whether repeated reentries could have broader consequences such as ozone depletion.The final main story looks at proposed United States Space Force uniforms and why the design drew immediate comparisons to World War II-era fascist aesthetics and Starship Troopers.Andrew and Fred note how uniform design can shape perception, and why the new concept feels divisive rather than inspiring.Timestamps00:00 - Intro and setup for the episode00:41 - Venus, satellite pollution, and Space Force uniforms preview04:40 - Venus as Earth's twin and why it has no moon08:21 - Modeling a missing Venusian moon09:20 - Gravitational tug-of-war and moon migration toward Venus11:44 - Conditions for a moon to survive around Venus12:43 - Possible traces of an ancient moon impact16:06 - Satellite pollution from reentering spacecraft17:16 - Starlink reentries and atmospheric contamination18:14 - ESA's jet chase of reentering Cluster spacecraft20:06 - Observing Tango and Samba during controlled reentry21:45 - Why the atmospheric consequences could become controversial23:12 - Wood as a potentially more benign spacecraft material24:16 - Space Force uniforms and the first visual reaction25:34 - Starship Troopers and deliberate fascist design cues27:29 - Why the proposed uniforms feel unsettlingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support.

In early September, OpenAI announced it had solved a major mathematics problem that has stumped humans for nearly a century. The news left mathematicians reeling, and many expressed concern over what will be left for humans as AI becomes ever more adept at unravelling complex problems. Now 25 recipients of the Fields medal – often called the Nobel prize for maths – have signed an open letter expressing their fears of a ‘severe misalignment' between AI companies and their field. To find out how AI is likely to upend maths – and how mathematicians might respond – Ian Sample speaks to Colva Roney-Dougal, professor of pure mathematics at the University of St Andrews.

Send us Fan MailBen and Daphna  dig into a large, population-based study linking IVF conception to VACTERL association, a rare but serious pattern of congenital anomalies spanning the vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophageal, renal, and limb systems. Drawing on over 1.5 million births across four US states and linked SART registry data, the study finds IVF-conceived infants face significantly higher odds of VACTERL and related multiple anomaly syndromes compared to naturally conceived infants. Daphna and Ben unpack what this means for clinical suspicion at the bedside, why some VACTERL phenotypes may be easy to miss, and how better tracking of conception history through delivery could change how NICU teams approach anomaly workups in IVF-conceived infants.----In Vitro Fertilization and VACTERL Birth Defects.

What Is Consciousness? Near-Death Experiences, Neuroscience, Frequency & Exploring What Lies Beyond the Brain | MasatiWhat exactly is consciousness, and is it something that exists beyond the physical brain?In this episode of Psynautical, I sit down with Masati for a fascinating conversation exploring consciousness, near-death experiences, neuroscience, frequency, Xponential Intelligence, and our understanding of reality.Masati has experienced multiple near-death experiences that he says profoundly changed his understanding of consciousness, human potential, time, space, and the nature of reality. His experiences eventually led him to develop what he calls Xponential Intelligence (XI), a framework centered around consciousness, frequencies, and human transformation.We dive into what happened during his near-death experiences and how those experiences influenced the way he sees consciousness. We also explore the relationship between science and spirituality, including where concepts such as neuroscience, quantum physics, frequency, and what Masati describes as our personal “blueprint” intersect.But rather than simply accepting extraordinary claims at face value, we also discuss the importance of questioning, skepticism, and trying to understand these experiences through different perspectives.In this conversation, we explore:• What consciousness actually is and whether it is limited to the brain• Masati's multiple near-death experiences and how they changed his perspective• What he experienced during those encounters with death• The relationship between near-death experiences and expanded consciousness• How neuroscience may help us understand consciousness and subjective experience• Xponential Intelligence and the ideas behind it• Frequency, energy, and Masati's concept of our personal blueprint• The relationship between consciousness, time, and space• Science, spirituality, and where the two may intersect• How to remain curious and open-minded while still asking difficult questions• Whether extraordinary experiences can teach us something about human potential• Practical ways we can become more conscious and aware in our everyday livesWhether you're interested in near-death experiences, consciousness, neuroscience, spirituality, or simply the deeper questions surrounding what it means to be human, this conversation offers plenty to think about.Connect with Masati and learn more about his work:

America captured a German U-boat during World War II, saved it while it was sinking, discovered an Enigma machine and secret documents aboard, kept the entire operation hidden from Germany... and eventually put the submarine in Chicago.In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we react to The Fat Electrician's incredible telling of the capture of U-505. What began as a dangerous hunt for a German submarine became one of the most fascinating naval operations of World War II.From American sailors boarding a damaged submarine packed with scuttling charges, to the desperate effort to keep it afloat, the intelligence discovered aboard, and the remarkable journey that eventually brought U-505 to Chicago, this story gets crazier the deeper it goes.Original video from The Fat Electrician:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s-ZY0lnGeIHave you ever seen U-505 at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry? And if you know the connection, if any, between the real U-505 story and the movie U-571, tell us in the comments!

Description:Dr. Marisa G. Franco is back — and this time, she's turning the lens inward. Marisa is the New York Times bestselling author of Platonic and a psychologist at the University of Maryland, and her brand new book, Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment, might just be the most important thing she's ever written. It is tender, personal, and research-backed in equal measure — and friend, it will find you.In this conversation, Marisa and Jen dig into the central argument of the book: that trying to become a "secure" person — calm, confident, regulated, healed — is one of the most efficient ways to stay stuck. The goal, Marisa says, is not security. It's being secure-ish. That means making room for the anxious parts and the avoidant parts, the shame and the neediness and the grief, and offering those parts the care they never got instead of running from them one more time.In this discussion, you'll also hear:Why the goal was never to be fully "secure" — and what it means to be secure-ish insteadWhy your insecurities are messengers, not enemies — and how to stop whack-a-moleing them into silenceThe memories that are keeping you stuck — and the science that proves you can actually change how they live in youThe messages installed in us by the wider world — faith, bodies, marriage, worth — and what it looks like to do this work when those messages came from somewhere we once considered holyAnd Marisa shares her own story, the one that cracked her open: a hike, a relationship unraveling, and the moment she finally stopped performing calm long enough to say the true thing out loud.This is a conversation for anyone who has been trying to be better than they are instead of being who they are. Which is to say — it's for all of us.Thought-provoking Quotes:“The struggle of not feeling worthy is that you're stuck in the same sense of reality. You're trapped and you don't know how to get out. People are loving you but you don't feel loved. The beauties of life slide off of you. I just want people to get free of that.” - Dr. Marisa G. Franco“We have to start with allowing what is, with the truth. So many of us don't think we can because we have to be something different than we are. But being where you are, that's where the healing happens.” - Dr. Marisa G. Franco“I'm still learning for my first reaction to no longer be, what am I allowed to feel according to other people? What am I allowed to look like according to other people? And for my first question to be what expresses who I am and how I actually feel, even if that violates all of the rules as to how I should feel or how I should present myself? That's where I need to begin, in the truth.” - Dr. Marisa G.

Dr. Sasha Hamdani is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in ADHD, rejection sensitivity and emotional regulation, and the author of the new book Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply. She also happens to have ADHD herself, giving her the perspective of both doctor and patient. In this episode, Sasha and I get into a question that feels impossible to avoid right now: does everyone have ADHD—or have we just gotten better at recognizing it? We talk about what ADHD actually looks like beyond the stereotypes, why women are so often diagnosed later in life, and how to tell the difference between normal distraction, stress and anxiety versus something clinical. We also get into hormones and ADHD, why symptoms can change throughout a woman's life, non-stimulant medication options, and the lifestyle changes that can actually help with focus and energy.Then we get into the part of this conversation I found especially fascinating: rejection sensitivity and feeling everything so intensely. Sasha explains why a text, a change in someone's tone or perceived criticism can send some of us into a complete spiral—and how to stop burning so much energy on fear, anxiety and perceived rejection. Plus, we talk about her new book Too Sensitive and the tools she uses to regulate emotions without trying to become a person who simply feels less.You can find Sasha at @thepsychdoctormd on InstagramThanks to my sponsors:Go to boncharge.com and use coupon code BLONDE to save 15%.Head to hungryroot.com/blonde and use code blonde to get 40% off your first box and a free item of your choice for life.Visit Prolon.Life.com/BLONDE to claim your 15% discount and your bonus gift.

It's Witness Wednesday at Georgia Tech! Todd talks with students about faith and politics, whether science could eventually disprove Christianity, and why an emotional response to the gospel isn't necessarily conversion. Segment 1 • Should your faith shape your politics, or should the two stay separate? • What does your everyday life reveal about what you actually believe? • Being sorry for your sin isn't the same as being saved. So what is? Segment 2 • If science explained what ancient religions attributed to gods, could Christianity be next? • How would you answer someone who asks, “Why is your religion right and everyone else's wrong?” • What makes Christianity radically different from every works-based religion? Segment 3 • Can you actually prove to someone that God exists? • Your conscience tells you something about yourself you may not want to admit. • If everyone deserves judgment, how can God forgive anyone and still be just? Segment 4 • Wearing a cross doesn't mean you understand what happened on it. • Think you're good enough for heaven? Here's the problem with that. • Why Todd won't lead someone in a sinner's prayer, even when they appear ready to respond.

Saving money matters, but at some point, keeping too much cash in the bank can work against your financial goals. In this episode of The Table, Anthony O'Neal breaks down how much you really need in emergency savings, why inflation quietly eats away at idle cash, and what to do with the money you have above that number. He explains his three-tier emergency fund strategy, the difference between saving and building wealth, and why fear can sometimes disguise itself as financial wisdom. Anthony also opens up about his own experience hoarding cash instead of investing and why building wealth today is ultimately about creating freedom, security and a stronger legacy for your family.
