Sending FBI Director Kash Patel to Moscow right before the Midterms is like sending a coked-up frat boy into a whorehouse in hell, and the FSB will eat him alive. As Trump pushes the SAVE Act to disenfranchise millions, is he calling in Russian reinforcements to steal Congress?  Can we overcome a gutted Voting Rights Act, MAGA poll taxes, and Russian cyber warfare and disinformation brainrotting? Yes. By treating our vote as sacred and doing the unglamorous, powerful grassroots work that wins elections–and ensured Zohran Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo not once, but twice. We deserve nice things–but we must work for them. That's how progress gets made. Our heroes who came before us felt demoralized and tired, too. Andrea's new book, A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women: 20 Steps to Find Your Purpose and Power in a World on Fire, shares some of their stories and insights. We can put an end to Trump and Putin's dreams of turning America into a Russian-style oligarchy by remembering our power.  On this week's show, we're joined by comedian and activist Pete Dominick of the Stand Up with Pete Dominick podcast. We break down the Epstein files, media intimidation, and the growing resistance to authoritarianism. In our bonus show, available exclusively for our Patreon and Substack supporters, we name names of who in the media enabled Trump's rise, and Pete shares what it was like trolling Trump to his face on The Apprentice.  We refuse to let them steal our future and our children's futures. Come discuss this and more at the Gaslit Nation Salon this Monday at 4pm ET. We could not produce this independent journalism or build this resilience community without you.

Miquita Oliver is a podcaster, TV presenter and all-round brilliant woman. She was just 16 when she burst onto our screens co-hosting Channel 4's cult music show Popworld alongside Simon Amstell. Twenty-five years later, she's still one of Britain's most distinctive broadcasters and interviewers. She co-created Miss Me?, with Lily Allen, and now co-hosts it with musician Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks. You may also know Miquita from the acclaimed BBC series The Caribbean with Andi and Miquita, in which she and her mother, Andi Oliver, travelled to Antigua to reconnect with their family, heritage and identity. We talk about Miquita surviving the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, the shame she associates with going bankrupt, her struggle with alcoholism in her thirties, love, family, and why she still can't quite conquer her driving theory test. She even opens up about her hopes and fears around motherhood. This is an essential conversation for any one who survived the noughties diet culture or who has grappled with financial hardship. Frank, funny and unexpectedly moving: just like Miquita herself.

In this episode, I'm sharing the hard questions I've been wrestling with lately: Am I becoming too comfortable? Am I falling behind professionally? Am I hiding? After a deeply nourishing summer with my family, I realized that while life feels more peaceful than it has in years, an old voice still whispers that I should be doing more, earning more, and proving more. Today, I'm unpacking where those thoughts really come from and why I'm learning not to believe them. In this episode, I explore: The voice of hustle culture that still lingers long after you've left it behind How to separate old fears from present truth What it looks like to rebuild a life without rushing the process The difference between living intentionally and playing small If you've been rebuilding after a major life transition, questioning your career, or wondering whether you're "doing enough," I hope this conversation reminds you that your pace doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Mentioned in this episode: ✨ Life Unlooped — my 45-day experience designed to help you become less captivated by your phone and more engaged in your own life.

In October 1961, 19-year-old Betty Gail Brown — a promising sophomore at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky — was found brutally murdered in her car on campus. Strangled to death with her own brassiere, her killer has never been brought to justice. This remains one of Kentucky's most haunting unsolved murders. On this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we dive deep into the shocking true story of the Betty Gail Brown case: a young woman full of potential whose life was cut short in a place meant for learning and safety. We examine the chilling details of that fateful night, the botched investigation, the dramatic 1965 confession by drifter Alex Arnold Jr. that led to a high-profile trial and mistrial, and the lingering theories that still divide the community more than six decades later. Was Betty Gail Brown the victim of a random campus predator, a personal grudge, or something even darker? Despite multiple leads and intense media attention at the time, her murder stays cold — a heartbreaking reminder of how one night can shatter lives forever. If you're fascinated by unsolved true crime cases, Kentucky murders, campus killings, and deadly mysteries from the 1960s, this episode is for you. We honor Betty's memory while exploring every angle of this infamous Lexington cold case. ️ Key Topics: • Betty Gail Brown's final hours and the gruesome discovery • Flaws in the original police investigation • The Alex Arnold confession and mistrial • Modern theories and why the case remains unsolved Listener discretion is advised — this episode discusses murder and sensitive details.

Lisa Kudrow (Friends, The Comeback) reveals some of the most astonishing stories and ideas she's ever shared publicly, from mysterious messages received after her mother's passing to profound spiritual experiences that challenged her understanding of reality itself.Lisa opens up about supernatural events surrounding her mom's death, the unexplained text messages she received from beyond, and her family's experiences with an energy worker, including a remarkable moment when her son seemingly communicated that he was okay. She also shares why she was captivated by The Telepathy Tapes and why she believes "there's something going on" beyond our current scientific understanding.She explores what she learned about the nature of reality through playing "Phoebe Buffay", whether childhood imaginary friends might not be imaginary after all, and her thought-provoking perspective on why we're here, and why perhaps we're not meant to fully understand the spiritual side of existence.Lisa also discusses concrete examples of how spirituality can provide guidance when modern science falls short, the role of intuition and her inner voice in shaping her life's biggest decisions, and her mind-bending theories about possible causes of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.The conversation dives deep into creativity, consciousness, and human connection as Lisa explains why acting is ultimately an exercise in empathy, whether great actors may actually be channeling real people, and how portraying "Phoebe" transformed the way she thinks about life, consciousness, and the unseen world around us.Lisa also reflects on recently watching Friends episodes for the first time, revealing how her perspective on "Phoebe" has changed over the years, and shares the invaluable lessons her co-stars taught her about openness, playfulness, and unlocking creativity as an actor.She discusses why she chose acting over medical school, how those career-defining decisions unfolded, and what her intuition continues to tell her about future entertainment projects.Plus, Lisa breaks down why she loves Mayim Bialik's Breakdown and The Big Bang Theory series, and explains why specific episodes resonated with her so deeply, including conversations with Thomas Campbell, Anita Moorjani, Dr. James B. Glattfelder, Dr. Ellen Langer, Dr. Kevin Knuth, and Dr. Tara Swart.Enjoy Lisa's deeply personal exploration of the mysteries that exist at the edges of science, spirituality, creativity, and human experience, as she reflects on life's biggest questions—from consciousness and intuition to grief, purpose, and the possibility of something beyond what we can currently explain!Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

Motherhood didn't just change me—it completely redefined who I am and what truly fulfills me. If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to miss your old life while deeply loving your current one, this conversation is for you. I'm opening up about ambiguous grief, letting old versions of myself go, and learning to trust a season that looks nothing like the one before it. As I prepare to welcome my second child (yay!), I'm embracing the unknown again. We're talking about slowing down, redefining success, trusting the timing of your life, and honoring the version of you that's emerging—even if she doesn't look like who you used to be. We also talk about: Why becoming a mother completely reorganized my identity The surprising grief of missing your old life while loving your new one The concept of matrescence + the psychological transformation of motherhood Why fulfillment feels different from achievement + external validation Letting go of productivity, perfectionism, and the need to optimize everything Choosing family over hustle culture—and redefining success How motherhood stripped away my performative tendencies The pressure of watching everyone else achieve while you're in a slower season Trusting the timing of your life + embracing the creative unknown Why every season of motherhood asks you to become someone new Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors: Ritual | Don't settle for less than evidence-based support.

Alice Han and James Kynge start with Trump's claim that China ran an influence operation using voter files from over 220 million Americans, and why Beijing is calling it fabricated. They dig into what the underlying intelligence actually shows, how it lands just two months before Trump's planned visit to China, and what it means that global public opinion is now tilting toward Xi over Trump. Then, Selina Xu, head of China research for former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, joins to talk about her recent trip to China with Schmidt, where the U.S. and China each have the edge in the AI race, how culture and adoption differ between the two countries, and whether Beijing's pushback against emotional dependence on AI is a sign of things to come.

#356: Wilglory Tanjong doesn't wait for luck to show up. She builds it, asks for it, and stays ready to receive it. The founder of handbag brand Anima Iris is sitting down for a conversation that moves from grief to grit to greatness, and somehow makes all three feel like the same story.Wilglory opens up about leaving a six-figure corporate job at the start of the pandemic, why she calls business school "MBA school," and the importance of f*ck-up capital for women founders. And yes, she talks about the ongoing series where she's asking MacKenzie Scott for a billion dollars for Black women entrepreneurs, one video at a time.This episode is a masterclass in what it actually looks like to alchemize your own luck.

Trump's war with Iran is exposing a growing fracture inside the MAGA coalition. As the conflict continues, young America First voices—including Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes—are increasingly at odds with the Christian nationalist and Christian Zionist establishment that continues to support Israel and the war. Brad Onishi, Matthew D. Taylor, and Holly Berkley Fletcher discuss the expanding Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, the threat of a wider regional war, and why the consequences could become increasingly difficult for the Trump administration to contain ahead of the midterm elections. They also examine the generational divide within MAGA, the rise of anti-Semitism and Christian Zionism on the far right, and the growing influence of young online figures who may shape what comes after Trump. The conversation also turns to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's obsession with testosterone, masculinity, and the “warrior” ideal. What does the push to increase testosterone levels in the military reveal about Christian nationalism, the manosphere, evangelical purity culture, gender politics, and the growing ideological influence of the far right inside the U.S. military? This episode explores the intersection of Christian nationalism, MAGA politics, the Iran war, Israel, anti-Semitism, Christian Zionism, masculinity, testosterone, Pete Hegseth, authoritarianism, and the future of the American right.

Today on How To!, Michael, a retired FDNY captain who used to rely on a uniform every day, finds himself staring blankly into his closet and canceling dates because he does not know how to dress. Host Mike Pesca brings on Tavia Sharp, an executive image and personal brand strategist and founder of Styled Sharp, to help Michael navigate post-retirement style, move past 1990s baggy clothing trends, and overcome the challenge of finding proper-fitting clothes as a shorter guy. They discuss the concept of building a practical "capsule wardrobe," why you shouldn't blindly trust store clerks who call themselves stylists, and how to shop for your specific body type. Plus, is adopting a color palette and finding your "season" actually helpful advice, or just unnecessary over-complication?

For decades, women were handed a birth control prescription and sent home. Side effects were minimized. Questions were met with reassurance instead of real information. That left a vacuum, and into that vacuum poured a wave of claims that hormonal birth control is toxic, wrecks your hormones, causes infertility, and takes years to recover from. The truth? Birth control isn't as simple as "good" or "bad." It's nuanced, and nuance is exactly what the algorithm can't deliver in a 60-second video. In this episode, Dr. Natalie Crawford is joined by Dr. Fran Haydanek, a board-certified OB/GYN, residency faculty member, and one of the most trusted physician voices in women's health on social media. Together, they unpack the biggest birth control myths and viral health claims, separating what's supported by evidence from what's misunderstood, oversimplified, or simply untrue. No agenda. No fear. Just evidence-based medicine and two physicians who believe women deserve honest information to make the best decisions for their own bodies. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: * Whether hormonal birth control is actually harming your hormones or fertility * Why so many birth control myths continue to spread online * Which viral hormone claims are backed by evidence and which aren't * How different birth control methods affect fertility, PMOS, and egg freezing * What every woman should know before choosing, stopping, or changing birth control * Why better conversations with your doctor can completely change your care Whether you're choosing a birth control method, planning for pregnancy, managing PMOS, or simply trying to separate fact from fiction online, this episode will help you better understand your body and make more informed decisions with confidence. Topics covered: hormonal birth control, birth control myths, birth control pill, fertility, infertility, PMOS, post birth control syndrome, hormonal IUDs, IUD insertion pain, Depo-Provera, Nexplanon, tubal ligation, salpingectomy, egg freezing, Dutch Test, estrogen dominance, adrenal fatigue, women's hormones, reproductive health. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Why birth control misinformation spread so fast 05:13 The list of doctors who will tie your tubes 08:52 Can you get your tubes untied later? 10:13 Does removing your tubes lower your ovarian cancer risk? 11:32 Does the pill treat PMOS or just mask it? 15:40 Does the pill ruin your hormones? 17:10 Do you need to detox from the pill? 17:50 When to stop the pill if you want to get pregnant 19:30 Annual visit vs problem visit, and why it changes your care 22:05 Does birth control cause infertility? 23:15 Does the pill save your eggs for later? 27:00 Does Depo-Provera cause brain tumors? 29:47 Two doctors disagree about progestin IUDs 32:48 How patients changed IUD insertion pain 36:10 When to take out your IUD before trying 39:56 How your birth control affects an egg freezing cycle 41:50 Do blood draws cause miscarriage?  43:44 Do you need supplements for adrenal fatigue? 45:40 Is estrogen dominance real? 46:34 What is the Dutch test, and why won't most OB/GYNs order it?

The DGSE, or Directorate General for External Security, is France's foreign intelligence service. It's found inside the Ministry of Defense but reports to the president. It was established under that name in 1982, learning the hard way, through a string of high-profile blunders, how to conduct espionage. The service is responsible for all sources of intelligence and has benefited from a popular TV show about its inner workings. Drawing on documents never before available, Damien Van Puyvelde, the author of the book The DGSE: A Concise History of France's Foreign Intelligence Service, traces the agency's history from its early failures to its sweeping reforms and modern-day successes.

Healthcare affordability is having a moment, and not the vague kind. From the Mackinac Policy Conference, we sit down with Dr. David Miller, Executive Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs at Michigan Medicine and President of the University of Michigan Health System, to talk about what it takes to lower the total cost of care while protecting access to top-tier clinical outcomes for patients across Michigan.We start with timely news: Michigan Medicine will continue its partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield, easing uncertainty for people who rely on specialty care and were wondering whether they could even schedule their next visit. From there, we zoom out to the bigger policy and operational pressure points across the healthcare ecosystem: how to reduce complications in high-acuity care, why primary care and earlier intervention can prevent expensive crises later, and what “value-based insurance design” looks like when you're serious about paying for treatments that are proven to work.Then we get practical about AI in healthcare. Dr. Miller explains where ambient AI documentation is already reducing administrative burden, why technology-enabled medical education is becoming essential across the health professions, and how evidence from imaging and stroke triage can move innovations from promising demos into real clinical policy. We also talk about rural hospitals and lower resource environments, and how a statewide network can use technology to spread expertise beyond urban centers. We close with the financial reality of medical education and student debt, and what Michigan can do to keep the next generation of clinicians here.

By all accounts, the Naroditsky Memorial was a touching tribute to the legendary streamer, educator and grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky. This week I welcome three guests to share their stories from the memorable event in Charlotte. Popular Chessable author and coach FM Dalton Perrine reflects on the lessons and memorable experiences of the tournament. Dalton also shares chess improvement insights from his excellent Chess Chatter newsletter and discusses Chessalyz, the AI-powered chess improvement platform he co-founded. Following Dalton, GM Eugene Perelshteyn and NM Mike Mahoney return to the podcast for an update on the "Chess Rocky" story. They discuss Mike's results after months of training for the event, along with unforgettable stories from the tournament, including their encounter with legendary GM Vasyl Ivanchuk. As always, I enjoyed hearing the stories and lessons from Dalton, Eugene and Mike, and I think listeners will find plenty to learn from their experiences. 00:04 Introduction and Background 01:01 The Narodzki Memorial Tournament Experience 04:01 Learning from Danya's Speedruns Mentioned: Chessbase India- Naroditsky Memorial Coverage https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL2unSfeOdoM Chessbase India Interview with Danya's Mother: Daniel Naroditsky's mother shares heartfelt message to the chess community 06:53 Atmosphere and Community at the Tournament 10:04 Performance and Reflections on Games 13:01 Simplicity in Chess Improvement 16:02 Chessalyze: The AI-Assisted Coaching Platform 22:12 Future of Chessalyze and User Feedback 27:57 Advice for Ambitious Club Players Mentioned: Survive and Thrive: How to Blunder Less and Defend Better https://www.chessable.com/survive-thrive-how-to-blunder-less-and-defend-better/course/80629/ 34:00- Upcoming Tournaments and Projects Thanks to Dalton for joining!

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Craig Tindale to the show. Craig is a private investor with a keen perspective on economic and geopolitical analysis. He has more than 5,000 subscribers on Substack.   Craig kicks things off by discussing "hard bifurcation," a term he uses to refer to the U.S. importing its products instead of manufacturing them, creating dependencies on other countries. For instance, China has control over the precious metals the U.S. needs for defense. Craig looks at history to show why nations didn't trade crucial resources with rival nations... and how nations that did faced shortages during war. And he addresses how China could restrict our access to rare earth metals to slow down U.S. AI chip development. (0:00)   Next, Craig notes several gases the U.S. produces that serve as counters to China's choke points. The only thing that could impact them would be a breakdown in the supply chain. Craig says that the U.S. would need at least five years to build the overall industrial factories and infrastructure needed to match what China has. And while not economically viable, if a rare earth shortage did hit the U.S., we could recycle e-waste to produce the materials we need. Craig discusses the byproducts that come from mining production and how they impact other industries. (19:14)   Finally, Craig expresses his frustration at how policy and regulation have created more risk factors for shortages. He says that companies move their efforts to other countries where such restrictions are looser or nonexistent. And while most folks won't notice those changes, they'd feel the knock-on effects if anything were to impact operations wherever that manufacturing was happening. And Craig warns folks to become more resilient and self-sufficient to protect themselves against uncertainty. (35:49)

Yesterday we talked about identifying the kind of fatigue you're carrying. Today we're talking about what to do about it. Whether you're dealing with physical exhaustion or emotional depletion, the path forward is rarely found in waiting. It's found in taking the next appropriate step. In this episode, I share practical ways to respond to both kinds of fatigue and why action doesn't have to be dramatic to be effective. Sometimes it's a walk. Sometimes it's a conversation. Sometimes it's putting your thoughts on paper. And sometimes it's asking for professional support. The goal isn't to do more. The goal is to do the thing that actually helps you move forward.

Your business can be busy and still be stuck. Revenue may be coming in. The team may be working hard. The founder may be carrying the whole thing on their back. But if margins are getting tighter, communication is breaking down, decisions are bottlenecked, and nobody really owns revenue… that business is not scaling. It's surviving. In this episode of Built to Scale, Matt sits down with Autumn McFarland, a fractional COO who helps founder-led and growth-stage companies get unstuck, rebuild operational clarity, and create the foundation they need to grow without chaos running the show. Autumn breaks down the four triggers she looks for when a business is stuck: founder burnout, siloed departments, product and customer misalignment, and unclear revenue ownership. She also explains why many founders misdiagnose revenue problems as sales problems, when the real issue is often deeper inside the business. Matt and Autumn dig into what happens when a company outgrows the systems that got it started, why asking for help is not weakness, and how a fractional COO can come in without ego, identify the real problems, and help a business breathe again. In this episode, Matt and Autumn talk about: Founder burnout and why it shows up before the business breaks How siloed departments quietly kill momentum Why customer feedback matters more than internal assumptions Who should actually own revenue inside the company The difference between a sales problem and an operations problem Why slow leaks in the business can become expensive fast What a fractional COO actually does How the right operator can help founders get out of the weeds Why asking for help is a superpower How operational structure can make a business more scalable and transferable If your company is growing but still feels messy, reactive, or too dependent on the founder, this episode is worth your time. About Autumn McFarland Autumn McFarland is a fractional COO who works with founder-led and growth-stage companies to improve operations, strengthen teams, identify bottlenecks, and build the foundation needed for sustainable growth. She helps business owners get clear on what is actually holding the company back, align the team around real priorities, and create systems that support the next stage of growth.

What if the secret to a more fulfilling life isn't finding perfect balance... but letting go of the idea altogether?In this refreshing, honest, and perspective-shifting episode of the High Vibin' It Podcast, Kelsey Aida and Lynnsey Robinson challenge one of the most common pieces of self-help advice: the pursuit of balance.Instead of striving to perfectly divide your time, energy, and attention across every area of life, they introduce a more compassionate and sustainable approach: harmony.Together, they explore why different seasons of life require different priorities, how perfectionism keeps us stuck in burnout, and why trusting your natural rhythms can create more peace than trying to control every moment.From recovering after big creative projects and honoring periods of rest to embracing life's changing seasons, this conversation is an invitation to stop forcing balance and start creating a life that feels deeply aligned with who you are today.✨ What You'll Discover:Why "balance" may be an impossible goalThe difference between balance and harmonyHow to recognize the season of life you're currently inWhy burnout often comes from trying to do everything at onceHow perfectionism keeps you disconnected from yourselfPractical ways to audit where your energy is goingWhy saying no creates space for what truly mattersThe importance of honoring your natural rhythmsHow trust creates more freedom than controlWhy productivity doesn't have to look the same every dayHow to stop comparing your timeline to someone else'sWhy alignment feels better than constant hustleThe mindset shift that makes success feel more sustainable✨ Want More?In the extended Patreon episode, we pull numerology oracle cards for guidance on creating more harmony in your life.

What would you do if you had lost everything — your home, your freedom, your will to live — and the only thing you had left was a decision? My guest today hit every one of those walls. He was homeless. He sat behind bars. He tried to end his life. And then — somehow — he went on to build an 800% sales turnaround at a dealership most people had written off, become a national speaker spotlighted on ABC, NBC, and CBS, and raise nine kids along the way. Today Glenn Lundy is going to tell us exactly what broke him, what rebuilt him, and the dead-simple morning practice he says anyone can use to stop surviving and start performing. Stay with us — because the moment he tells you what he was doing at 4 am that changed his entire life, you will not want to go back to the way you've been starting your days.   Follow Glen Lundy:  Web / https://www.800percent.life IG / @glenn_lundy Facebook For Morning Rise and Grind / https://www.facebook.com/800percent.life     Follow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy:► Makes Sense Substack - https://drjcdoornick.substack.com ► Instagram: / drjcdoornick ► Substack: / drjcdoornick ►Facebook:  / makessensepodcast ►YouTube:  / drjcdoornick     MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast.

This week's episode comes from a riff request in the Not Too Sensitive Club group chat, a question about how to stop taking it personally when someone seems committed to disliking you, especially when you're wired to feel that discomfort in your body.It's uncomfortable to sense someone judging you, and every instinct says to win them over. Alissa offers a different move: recognizing whose story this actually is.She walks through what projection usually means psychologically, the energetic practices she uses before and after being around someone who triggers this, and why she'd rather be disliked for being herself than loved for shrinking. In this episode, you'll learn:Why someone projecting negativity onto you is usually about an unexamined part of them, not evidence of something wrong with youThe difference between setting a boundary with someone and pretending their treatment of you doesn't hurtHow to use an energetic bubble and cord cutting before and after spending time with someone who triggers this patternWhy staying small and people pleasing can protect you from the discomfort, but why that's not the goalHow to let someone's dislike of you be their thing to carry instead of yoursUncover your sneaky internal belief that's stopping you from being your most confident self TAKE The FREE Shadow Archetype Quiz NOWLearn my 6-step process for managing & neutralizing your triggers as an HSP in our FREE UN-Botherable Workshop!Join the Not Too Sensitive Club

If you have ever felt fear in your body and then immediately made that fear mean something bad about you, this episode is for you. Vanessa explores fear not as something to conquer, transcend, or shame, but as something ancient, intelligent, protective, and deeply human. Through polyvagal theory, Buddhist psychology, the teaching of the first and second arrow, RAIN practice, and self-compassion, we look at what changes when we stop treating fear like the enemy. Healing is not becoming fearless; it is becoming less afraid of fear itself, so you can stay with yourself when it arrives.Reference Links:Stephen Porges — Polyvagal TheoryUse for: Polyvagal theory, autonomic regulation, and the nervous system's safety/danger responses.Link: https://www.stephenporges.com/Note: Stephen Porges developed polyvagal theory, which is referenced in the episode to explain why fear often arises before conscious thought can intervene.Polyvagal Institute — What Is Polyvagal Theory?Use for: Accessible overview of polyvagal theory and autonomic regulation.Link: https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/whatispolyvagaltheoryNote: Helpful general explainer for producers/listeners who want a basic overview.Neuroception — Stephen Porges / Polyvagal TheoryUse for: Neuroception as the nervous system's subconscious detection of safety and threat.Link: https://www.stephenporges.com/Note: Use alongside Porges's work.

In this episode, fear is the first arrow; shame about fear is often the second.Tara Brach — RAIN PracticeUse for: RAIN: Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture.Link: https://www.tarabrach.com/rain/Note: Tara Brach describes RAIN as a mindfulness and compassion practice for working with difficult emotions.Jon Kabat-Zinn — MindfulnessUse for: Mindfulness as present-moment, nonjudgmental awareness.Link: https://www.mindful.org/jon-kabat-zinn-defining-mindfulness/Note: Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, nonjudgmentally.Jon Kabat-Zinn — Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)Use for: MBSR as an 8-week mindfulness-based program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn.Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3336928/Note: This source identifies MBSR as developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 and describes its use of mindfulness meditation to alleviate suffering.Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)Use for: MBCT as a mindfulness-based approach developed for relapse prevention in recurrent depression.Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2834575/Note: This article discusses MBCT and its evidence base, including reduced relapse rates in recurrent depression.MBCT — Segal, Williams, and TeasdaleUse for: MBCT's development by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale.Link: https://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/docs/default-source/members/sigs/spirituality-spsig/resources/spirituality-special-interest-group-publications-mark-williams-mindfulness-based-cognitive-therapy.pdfNote: This PDF discusses MBCT's development and its use in preventing relapse and recurrence of depression.Rollo May — The Meaning of AnxietyUse for: Distinction between fear and anxiety; anxiety as a threat to something essential to the self.Link: https://open.baypath.edu/psy321book/chapter/c25p2/Note: This source quotes May's definition of anxiety as apprehension triggered by a threat to a value the individual holds essential to their existence as a personality.Dan Siegel — Window of ToleranceUse for: Window of tolerance as the zone where a person can process experience without becoming overwhelmed or shut down.Link: https://www.nicabm.com/trauma-how-to-help-your-clients-understand-their-window-of-tolerance/Note: This is a practical clinical explainer of Siegel's window of tolerance concept.Affect Labeling — Naming Emotions and Amygdala ActivityUse for: Research on how naming an emotion can reduce emotional reactivity.Link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17576282/Note: Lieberman et al. found that affect labeling may diminish emotional reactivity through prefrontal-amygdala pathways.Affect Labeling and ReappraisalUse for: Additional research support that affect labeling is associated with decreased amygdala activity and reduced self-reported distress.Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3970015/Note: Useful follow-up source for the episode's point that naming fear can help interrupt total identification with fear.Jack Kornfield — Turning Toward Fear with CompassionUse for: Buddhist psychology, compassion, and turning toward difficult experience rather than abandoning ourselves.Link: https://jackkornfield.com/fear/Note: Use for the episode's discussion of meeting fear with presence and compassion rather than exile.Bodhisattva VowUse for: “All beings” as a compassion frame, including the frightened parts of ourselves.Link: https://tricycle.org/magazine/bodhisattva-vow/Note: Use gently and broadly. This supports the episode's point that compassion includes the frightened one inside us, not just others.Kristin Neff — Self-CompassionUse for: Self-compassion as self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness.Link: https://self-compassion.org/what-is-self-compassion/Note: Supports the episode's discussion of bringing fear back into the circle of care rather than shaming it.Kristin Neff — Fierce Self-CompassionUse for: Fierce self-compassion as a boundary-setting, protective form of compassion.Link: https://self-compassion.org/blog/what-is-fierce-self-compassion/Note: Supports the distinction between tender self-compassion and fierce self-compassion.For educational purposes only.

Josh De Vaney lives in Perth, Western Australia, about as far from the center of sneaker and basketball culture as you can get, and he has quietly built one of the most complete collections of Michael Jordan toys and figurines on the planet. Not the shoes. The toys. The stuff most of us ripped open as kids and never thought about again.It started with a Christmas hoop in 1994 and turned into an eleven-year hunt that led Josh to a figurine Ohio Art says was never sold or released, a twelve-page feature in Sneaker Freaker, an unplanned meeting with Howard White at Nike, and a moment where Michael Jordan's own grandson ended up playing on a toy hoop that came out of Josh's collection.We get into all of it. Why the toys matter more than anyone realizes, how being remote became the advantage instead of the obstacle, and the very simple thing Josh does to get almost anyone to say yes. This is one of my favorite conversations we've done, and Josh says himself we only scratched the surface. Headphones on for this one.Tell someone you like their kicks today. You never know how far a compliment will take you.Find Josh:Instagram: @joshua.devaney (Michael Jordan Toy Historian) Try it yourself: Google "Michael Jordan's rarest toy."SUPPORT THE SHOW:Donate Through Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/sneakerhistoryBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/nickengvallEarly Access, Exclusive Videos, and Content On Patreon: https://patreon.com/sneakerhistorySubscribe on Substack: https://www.thesneakernewsletter.comTrack your collection: https://sneakerhistory.com/archive/If you are interested in advertising to our audience, contact us: podcast@sneakerhistory.com[Links contain affiliate links; we may receive a small commission if you purchase after clicking a link.

Sam talks to investigative journalist Will Potter about the Prairieland case and the alarming new repressive turn this represents for everyone. Follow his work at willpotter.com and on Instagram, and read his latest book Little Red Barns: Hiding the truth, from farm to fable.Recommended Reading:Statement from RefuseFascism.org From Prairieland to All of Us: Unite to Defeat Fascist Political Repression:"The decades-long sentences imposed on sixteen Prairieland defendants—including people who were not even present at the protest—mark a watershed moment in the Trump fascist regime's use of the justice system to criminalize political dissent. RefuseFascism.org condemns their convictions and sentences and demands that they be overturned. We call on everyone with a conscience to demand this and defend the rights of protesters facing political prosecutions under Trump's edicts and NSPM-7 – a fascist Trump presidential memorandum."JULY 12, 2026: A Weekly Column by historian and author Paul StreetMentioned in this episode:Why is the US attacking southern Iran's civilian infrastructure?Secy.
