This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from me, Dr. Robin. I say – "There comes a moment in your evolution where who you used to be stops being enough to hold who you are becoming. And it's subtle. It's not dramatic. There isn't a meltdown or a breakdown. It's more like a quiet noticing, a soft discomfort, a sense that you're wearing a version of yourself that no longer fits." Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: If you've been feeling out of sync with the life or career you've worked so hard to build, this episode will help you understand why — and why it's not a sign you're lost, it's a sign you're evolving. I talk about the emotional reality of being in between identities — when the version of you that built your success no longer fits, but the new version isn't fully formed yet. You'll hear a new way to think about success — not as something to chase or perform, but as something to feel. Something that reflects who you are now. Dr. Robin L. Owens is a professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER™ philosophy. She helps high-achieving women close the gap between outer success and inner fulfillment, so they can lead with more alignment, clarity, and meaning.

Amiga, if you're feeling the heaviness right now, I feel you. This is my first episode back from maternity leave, and I could not come back without acknowledging what we are collectively experiencing. With everything happening around ICE and the way our immigrant communities are being targeted, this moment feels deeply personal, especially for those of us who are first-gen and daughters of immigrants. This isn't just politics. This is trauma resurfacing. This is fear we grew up with showing up again in real time. In this episode, I'm holding space for the emotions many of us are feeling fear, sadness, anger, helplessness, and I'm also sharing simple, intentional ways we can activate, resist, and take up space as Latina leaders right now. ✨ What I Talk About in This Episode Why what's happening is retraumatizing for so many first-gen Latinas How growing up as daughters of immigrants shaped our fear, resilience, and leadership Why silence is often rooted in privilege and why some people don't have the option to speak How to show up with intention instead of pressure or performative activism Why becoming the best version of ourselves is a powerful form of resistance

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Saturday's special election in Texas Senate District 9, a heavily Republican district, saw an AFL-CIO trained “union leader” beat Trump, Abbott, and Patrick endorsed Republican activist Leigh Wambsganss.

EPISODE 125 -  “VIRGINIA MAYO: CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD STAR OF THE MONTH” - 2/02/2026  One of the most glamorous actresses in old Hollywood undoubtedly was VIRGINIA MAYO. This peaches-and-cream, midwestern beauty started her career wrangling two men in a horse costume on stage before being discovered by producer SAMUEL GOLDWYN and transformed into a full-blown movie star. Often playing the fantasy girl to leading men like BOB HOPE and DANNY KAYE, her beauty sometimes made people miss the fact that she was a very capable actress — particularly when she played bad girls in films like “The Best Years of Our Lives” and “White Heat.” She was very adept at light comedy, romance films, and drama, appearing in over 50 feature films and many television shows throughout her career. And tune in to find out about Steve's connection to this old Hollywood glamour girl as we celebrate Mayo as our February Star of the Month.   SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The Best Years of My Life (2001), by Virginia Mayo, as told to LC Van Savage; The Forties Gals (1980), by James Robert Parish & Don E.

What does it take to create a beautiful and safe relationship? In this episode I am revisiting combining two analogies I've used before, the bucket analogy and the relationship circle, and I'm calling it the Relationship Bucket. How do we fill this bucket up? Who is responsible for filling it? What things will fill it? Is how women fill it different than how men fill it? All of these questions and more are part of our discussion today.

In this episode, Jonathan sits down with clinical psychologist and AI ethics expert Dr. Sonja Batten to explore a critical question: Is AI as safe as we think it is—especially when it comes to our mental health, our kids, and vulnerable populations like veterans?Dr. Batten brings decades of experience in mental health, military/veteran care, and systems-level policy to unpack how AI is already interacting with loneliness, depression, social skills, and even national security. Together, she and Jonathan examine where AI can genuinely help—and where it can quietly make things much worse.Key Topics Covered:AI “Practice Girlfriends” & Parasocial RelationshipsPseudo-Emotion vs. Real Emotion in AIDepression, Rumination, and AI as an AccelerantKids, Screens, and Personality ShiftsAwkward Questions & Suicide RiskVeterans, Targeted Manipulation & National SecurityBuilding Real-World Social Skills in an AI WorldThe Profit Motive Behind AI & Big PlatformsA Practical Safety Strategy: Don't Talk to Just One AIA Better Future: Human-in-the-Loop Mental Health AIBias, Data, and Why “Objective” AI Can Still Harm PeopleWhat's Safe to Use Today—and What Isn'tNotable Quotes:“The problem isn't that AI sounds human—it's that it acts like it's human, without any judgment about whether what it's saying is actually helpful.” – Dr. Sonja Batten“Rumination is like how a cow digests grass—except you're doing it with your depressive thoughts. AI can actually accelerate that cycle.” – Dr. Sonja Batten“The earlier I act in a depressive cycle, the easier it is to break it. But AI gives you the illusion of a conversation while keeping you stuck in place.” – Jonathan Green“Ask the awkward question. If you're not sure whether someone's joking or asking for help, just ask. The worst thing that happens is they tell you you're wrong—and now they know you care.” – Dr. Sonja Batten“I don't think there's any AI tool yet that I'd trust as a standalone resource for my own daughter if she were depressed.” – Dr. Sonja Batten“We can't afford to get it wrong in mental health. The stakes are too high.” – Dr. Sonja BattenKey Resource Mentioned:988 – Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.)If you or someone you know is struggling, you can call or text 988 in the United States for immediate support and connection to local resources.

Modern culture tells young adults to delay marriage for career and "freedom," but Brad's talk, Get Married Young, uses data to challenge that script. He breaks down the Midas Mindset—the belief that happiness comes from chasing success—by showing that married fathers are statistically the most fulfilled. This isn't a plea for nostalgia; it's a reality check on what actually brings lasting joy. Brad reframes marriage not as a loss of independence, but as a vital transition from boyhood to maturity. By prioritizing commitment and shared purpose over endless self-actualization, he offers a countercultural path to a more meaningful life. If you're ready to rethink the timeline for success, this conversation is essential listening. Resources: Watch the talk, Get Married Young by Brad Wilcox on THINQMedia.com.

"Defined by solidarity and strained by division." That's how a new PBS series describes the relationship between Black and Jewish Americans. "Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History" explores both the collaborative and challenged relationship between two groups that forged civic and cultural bonds as they fought against racism and antisemitism. We preview the series with a discussion about the history of that alliance and what it looks like on the local level. This conversation is part of WXXI's celebration of Black History Month. Our guests: The Rev. Dr. Rickey B. Harvey Sr., senior pastor at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Rabbi Peter Stein, senior rabbi at Temple B'rith Kodesh Gaynelle Wethers, director of education at Baden Street Settlement Colonel Andrae Evans, former town supervisor ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

Hey — this episode unpacks a vacation that went horribly wrong: a 37-year-old narrator brings her partner, toddler and a 16-year-old dog to visit her parents, who are openly hostile to the aging pup. They repeatedly put the dog outside, dump its water, and make cruel comments about putting her down.   The partner withdraws and spends time apart to protect the dog and avoid blowing up, while the narrator freezes because she's conflict-averse and has a fraught relationship with her dad. After they get back, family gossip paints the partner as rude, and the narrator is left asking who the biggest asshole really is.   We cut right to it: the parents are the main problem. Depriving an elderly, anxious dog of water and comfort is cruel, and their passive-aggressive escalation — plus the mom's cruel comments — crossed basic lines. The partner's quiet protection felt reasonable, not disrespectful.   If you were my friend, here's the real talk: set boundaries. If your parents can't treat your dog and your family with basic respect, don't keep subjecting your kid, your partner, and your pup to that toxicity. Practical moves: offer to stay in a hotel with the dog, arrange separate visits, or limit holiday time until boundaries are respected.   You're allowed to prioritize your immediate family and the emotional safety of your child and pet. Talk to your partner, consider couples or family therapy to sort the fallout, and don't feel guilty for protecting your household from repeated mistreatment.   We rooted for her to protect her dog and reclaim Christmas — and for anyone listening, be the friend who tells someone they're allowed to choose kindness and healthy boundaries over obligation.
