    This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia. Listener discretion advised. This might be one of the most powerful conversations I've ever had on How To Fail. I don't say that lightly - I've had some amazing guests - but there's something about how Jennette puts the female experience into words that I find truly electrifying. Raised Mormon in Orange County, Jennette was just six when her mother decided she would become an actor. What followed was a difficult, abusive childhood, which she chronicled with unflinching honesty in her 2022 memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died - a book that spent more than 90 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Her new novel, Half His Age, follows 17-year-old Waldo as she embarks on an affair with her 40-year-old creative writing teacher. It's a startling, powerful story about discomfort, agency and self-determination and it became a Sunday Times Number One bestseller in its first week! In this episode, we talk about her upbringing, her experience of disordered eating, the writing process and the grounding partner she's been with for nine years (who I was lucky enough to meet). Plus: setting boundaries, finding your voice, rage, recovery and autonomy. Recorded in our London studio. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 03:27 Speaking Up and Setting Boundaries 04:15 Reception of 'Half His Age' 07:22 Exploring Mormonism and Guilt 14:36 Failures and Creative Process 30:09 Calorie Restriction Lessons from My Mother 30:58 First Encounter with Anorexia 32:45 The Turning Point: Mother's Death and Recovery 32:58 Struggles with Bulimia 35:41 Therapy and the Road to Recovery 36:47 Understanding the Value of Eating Disorders 38:59 Healing Through Relationships 42:58 Finding My Voice and Inner Peace

    What if the problem isn't motivation… but misunderstanding? In this episode, we dive deep into executive functioning and the powerful role of "why" in understanding ADHD and neurodivergent children and teens. Joining me is Dani Donovan — ADHD advocate, comic artist, and author of The Anti-Planner — for an honest and validating conversation about procrastination, overwhelm, shame, and the myth of laziness. If you've ever thought: "Why won't they just do it?" "They know what to do — so why aren't they doing it?" "Am I doing something wrong as a parent?" "Why does trying harder not work?" This episode is for you. We explore: Why executive functioning struggles are not laziness The critical difference between knowing and doing Why shame never improves behavior How misunderstanding leads to blame The emotional experience of ADHD Why "trying harder" is not a strategy How asking "why?" changes everything Practical ways to shift from frustration to curiosity Why understanding must come before intervention For parents, this conversation offers relief and clarity. For therapists and clinicians, it reinforces the importance of neurodiversity-affirming, emotionally attuned support that reduces shame and builds capacity. When we understand the why behind executive functioning challenges, we stop seeing a "problem child" — and start seeing a nervous system that needs support. Because if they could, they would.

    Stop the struggle with difficult dementia behaviors by uncovering the "hidden history" your loved one can no longer express. In this breakthrough episode, we reveal why "random" symptoms like wandering, repetitive questions, and agitation are often deeply rooted in a person's personal history. Whether it's a past career as an architect or a childhood role as the eldest sibling, these memories don't disappear—they manifest as behaviors. We provide actionable caregiving strategies to help you move from frustration to empathy by "detecting" the life stories behind the diagnosis. If you are facing caregiver burnout or feeling like you've tried everything to manage dementia symptoms, this personal history approach offers a transformative shift in perspective. Learn how to validate their reality, reduce triggers, and even heal old family wounds during this difficult journey. Understanding their unique personal history is the ultimate key to personalized, compassionate care. ⏳ Episode Timestamps (SEO-Linked) 21:10 – Final Strategy: What to write down now in case you get dementia later. 00:00 – Why your loved one's personal history is the "missing key" to care. 01:45 – Meet Tammy Anastasia: Navigating the shift from wellness to dementia care. 03:12 – The Architect Story: Why staring at a wall isn't a random symptom. 05:30 – Routine & Resistance: Why dementia patients fight changes in their day. 07:45 – [AD BREAK] Practical tools for caregivers. 08:15 – Unfiltered Emotions: How childhood trauma resurfaces in dementia. 11:20 – The "Best Friend" Shift: Handling the pain when they forget you're their child. 14:40 – Validation vs. Redirection: The common mistake that fuels agitation. 17:05 – Healing the Caregiver: Using this journey to resolve your own past history.

    Are calm, cooperative kids just born that way?Recently, there's been growing conversation around Japanese parenting - how children there seem more respectful, more self-disciplined, and more socially aware.But is it cultural magic?Or is it development?In this episode of Talking Toddlers, we walk through seven parenting principles often associated with Japanese culture - and translate them through the lens of brain development, attachment research, language growth, and nervous system regulation.You'll learn:• Why attachment must come before independence • Why modeling works better than lecturing for toddlers • How belonging inside the family builds cooperation • Why daily responsibilities wire competence (and language!) • How natural consequences teach cause and effect • Why steady boundaries reduce power struggles • And how emotional regulation becomes internalized over timeThis isn't about copying another culture.It's about understanding the developmental sequence that builds self-discipline.Security → Modeling → Belonging → Responsibility → Cause & Effect → Steady Boundaries → Internal RegulationThat's not a list.That's how the toddler brain grows.If you've ever wondered: “Why isn't my toddler listening?” “Am I too strict… or too gentle?” “Where do I even start?”This episode will help you step back and see the bigger picture.Because toddlers don't need more strategies.They need more regulated adults.--------------------------If you'd like support identifying where your family is in this sequence, I invite you to schedule a Discovery Call. We'll look at what's already working - and what small, intentional shifts could make the biggest difference right now.

    Alex Murdaugh's fight for a new trial just reached South Carolina's highest court—and the justices came with hard questions.On February 11, 2026, the South Carolina Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Murdaugh's appeal of his double-murder conviction. The hearing split into two phases: first, the alleged jury tampering by former Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill; second, whether the trial itself was fair given the evidence admitted against him.Chief Justice John Kittredge set the tone early, calling Hill a "rogue clerk" and pressing prosecutor Creighton Waters on the scope of financial crimes evidence. "The granular detail and the expansiveness of which everything under the sun was allowed is arguably problematic," Kittredge said. Justice George James questioned the "logical connection" between Murdaugh's financial crimes and the murders of Maggie and Paul.Waters attempted to frame Murdaugh's financial desperation as the boiling point—at one point invoking the movie "Fargo" to illustrate his argument. Justice John Few wasn't having it: "I haven't seen 'Fargo'—get to the point."Defense attorneys Harpootlian, Griffin, and Barber argued that Hill's comments to jurors—including "watch his body language" and warnings not to be "fooled"—constituted jury tampering that denied Murdaugh a fair trial. They also challenged cell phone evidence, a blue raincoat with gunshot residue, and the overwhelming emphasis on financial crimes as prejudicial.The state maintained the conviction was based on "overwhelming evidence" and that Hill's remarks were "fleeting" and "largely neutral." But the justices pushed back repeatedly.No decision was issued from the bench. The court will deliberate privately with no deadline for a ruling. This episode covers the full hearing—what was argued, how the justices reacted, and what comes next.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    In this episode of the Translating ADHD podcast, Asher and Dusty discuss the concept of a "season of struggle," especially as it relates to living with ADHD during difficult times. They highlight how external factors — such as cold, dark months, global stressors, and personal health challenges — can compound the usual difficulties faced by people with ADHD. Both hosts share personal experiences about recognizing lowered capacity, managing expectations, and the importance of being kind and gentle with oneself when productivity dips. They emphasize that sometimes the goal shifts from forward progress to simply managing daily life and preserving mental health. The conversation also explores practical strategies for navigating these tough seasons, such as focusing on small wins, adjusting commitments, and using tools like running to-do lists that capture accomplishments rather than just tasks yet to be done. They reflect on the mental shift needed to trust one's future self to handle tasks later and to avoid harsh self-judgment in moments of executive dysfunction. Overall, the episode provides compassionate guidance for anyone with ADHD facing periods of burnout, encouraging listeners to balance logistics with mindset shifts to maintain resilience.

    Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the historical processes of anti-colonial struggle in the 20th century and how they illuminate the geopolitical crises of 2026.We examine the "imperial boomerang"—how the techniques of colonial violence return to the metropole—and the shift from the age of imperial civil war (1914-1945) to the age of imperial decline. Nick discusses the recent, shocking speech by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Munich Security Conference, where he urged European leaders to reclaim their "civilizational confidence" and reject the "global welfare state."From the Indian National Army to the Viet Minh, we look at how national liberation movements shattered the old empires. Nick argues that the current attempts by the US to reassert hegemony through force—in Venezuela and Nigeria—are doomed to fail against a Global South that has fundamentally changed. Is the West trying to fight 19th-century colonial wars in a 21st-century world?Key Topics:The Munich Speech: Marco Rubio's call for a return to "civilizational" power.National Liberation: How India and Vietnam broke the British and French empires.The American Empire: From the "Pax Americana" to the transactional gangster state.The Global South: Why the new non-aligned world will not submit to neocolonialism.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

    Are you struggling with fear of failure in sports, performance anxiety, or playing scared in competition? Many athletes believe they lack confidence, but the real problem is often fear of mistakes, fear of embarrassment, and fear of letting others down. When fear controls your game, confidence cannot show up — no matter how skilled you are.In this episode, mental performance coach Eli Straw explains why working through fear is more important than building confidence. Confidence is trust in your ability, but if fear of failure is present, athletes hesitate, second-guess, and underperform — especially under pressure.This episode is for athletes who:• Perform well in practice but struggle in games• Feel confident in training but tight or hesitant in competition• Deal with performance anxiety or fear of mistakes• Struggle with confidence, pressure, or overthinking• Feel like they are holding themselves backWhat You'll Learn• Why fear of failure in sports blocks confidence and causes timid play• The connection between performance anxiety and playing scared• Why confidence alone does not prevent choking under pressure• How fear leads to hesitation, overthinking, and underperforming in games• A simple 3-step mental training process to reduce fear and play freely• How to trust your skills and compete with confidence under pressureEli shares real examples from a professional basketball player and a Division 1 baseball player who overcame fear of mistakes, competitive anxiety, and self-doubt to perform freely and aggressively in competition.The Key Mental Game Truth: Confidence does not eliminate fear. Fear must be addressed first.When athletes reduce fear of failure, their natural confidence, trust, and ability begin to show — allowing them to stop playing scared and start competing freely.Work With Eli StrawEli Straw is a mental performance coach who helps athletes overcome fear of failure, performance anxiety, negative self-talk, and confidence struggles through a structured mental training system.

    At the end of January, Trump's Justice Department released what it said was the last tranche of the Epstein files: millions of pages of emails and texts, F.B.I. documents and court records. Much was redacted and millions more pages have been withheld. There is a lot we want to know that remains unclear.But what has come into clear view is the role Epstein played as a broker of information, connections, wealth and women and girls for a slice of the global elite. This was the infrastructure of Epstein's power — and it reveals much about the infrastructure of elite networks more generally.Anand Giridharadas is something of a sociologist of American elites. He's the author of, among other books, “Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World” and the forthcoming “Man in the Mirror: Hope, Struggle and Belonging in an American City.” He also publishes the great newsletter The.Ink.Back in November, after the release of an earlier batch of Epstein files, Giridharadas wrote a great Times Opinion guest essay, taking a sociologist's lens to the messages Epstein exchanged with his elite friends. So after the government released this latest, enormous tranche of materials, I wanted to talk to Giridharadas to help make sense of it. What do they reveal — about how Epstein operated in the world, the vulnerabilities he exploited and what that says about how power works in America today?Note: This conversation was recorded on Tuesday, Feb. 10. On Thursday, Feb. 12, Kathryn Ruemmler announced she would be resigning from her role as chief legal officer and general counsel at Goldman Sachs.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“How the Elite Behave When No One Is Watching: Inside the Epstein Emails” by Anand Giridharadas“How JPMorgan Enabled the Crimes of Jeffrey Epstein” by David Enrich, Matthew Goldstein and Jessica Silver-Greenberg“Scams, Schemes, Ruthless Cons: The Untold Story of How Jeffrey Epstein Got Rich” by David Enrich, Steve Eder, Jessica Silver-Greenberg and Matthew GoldsteinBook Recommendations:Random Family by Adrian Nicole LeBlancBehind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine BooUnpublished Work by Conchita SarnoffThoughts?
