What if the part of yourself you've spent years trying to hide could become the very thing that sets you free?After a life-altering brain tumor left half of John Kippen's face paralyzed, he didn't just have to recover physically—he had to confront an entirely new identity.For 12 years, John hid from the world, believing people would see his appearance before they saw him. Then an unexpected twist of fate—and a pocket square named Henry—reconnected him with his childhood love of magic and started a transformation he never saw coming.John's story is about far more than overcoming adversity. It's about what happens when you stop allowing your scars—visible or invisible—to determine your worth.In this powerful conversation, you'll discover:How John went from hiding for 12 years to confidently stepping back into the spotlight—and ultimately onto the TEDx stage.Why accepting the parts of yourself you wish you could change can unlock an entirely different kind of strength, confidence, and freedom.How pain, adversity, and even the experiences that once made you feel “broken” can become a source of purpose and a way to impact others.If you've ever felt defined by something you couldn't change, press play and discover what can happen when you stop hiding your story and start owning it!CONNECT WITH JOHN KIPPEN

As AI becomes more capable - and more convincing - how can leaders take advantage of its potential without outsourcing human judgment? In this episode, Sal Silvester speaks with tech humanist and author Kate O'Neill about the dangers of AI's “certainty theater,” why purpose and strategy must come before technology, and what meaningful human oversight really looks like. They also explore where automation makes sense, where people must remain involved, and how leaders can use AI to strengthen human contribution rather than diminish it.

Smart leaders make bad decisions all the time. But why?In this episode, we explore the story of Kodak, a company that helped invent the digital camera yet still struggled to navigate the transformation of photography.

Are you the person everyone leans on, appearing to have it all together—successful, reliable, always in control—yet quietly wrestling with loneliness and hidden pain beneath the surface? The struggle of perfectionism and emotional hiding can create a silent barrier, making true intimacy in relationships feel just out of reach. It's a paradox: the more polished our outer lives become, the more isolated we may feel on the inside. In this episode, listeners will explore how the pressure to be perfect and the tendency to conceal emotional pain can undermine connection and authenticity within intimate relationships. The conversation unpacks why these patterns develop, how they often go undetected—even by those closest to us—and, most importantly, what practical steps can help foster openness, vulnerability, and real emotional closeness. Whether you're personally carrying hidden burdens or longing to better understand and support a loved one, this discussion offers guidance for building genuine bridges toward being truly known. Margaret Robinson Rutherford, PhD, is a clinical psychologist in private practice with more than thirty years of experience treating individuals and couples for depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. Her 2023 TEDx Talk on "How to Recognize Perfectly Hidden Depression," where she challenges the mental health profession to recognize this overlooked and misunderstood presentation of depression, has received more than two million views.   Episode Highlights 06:56 Hidden struggles of everyday people. 10:08 Understanding relationship dynamics. 11:47 Addressing Partner's Emotional Withdrawal 16:32 Creating the term for hidden depression. 19:06 Understanding suicide and connection. 23:26 Communication issues in relationships. 26:55 Reflections on parenting and perfectionism. 30:19 Discussing vulnerability in relationships. 31:42 Expressing personal struggles. 34:22 Identifying and expressing emotions. 38:19 Term 'Perfectly Hidden Depression' Impact. 44:08 Balancing family and personal growth   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Notice and Name Patterns: Observe your partner's tendencies to avoid discussing emotional pain or vulnerability, and gently point out specific instances you've noticed. Inquire with Curiosity: Invite your partner to share by asking open-ended, compassionate questions about significant events rather than commenting on their level of busyness. Share Your Own Feelings: Model vulnerability by expressing your own emotions and desire for connection, such as stating your wish to know your partner's inner world better. Offer Written Resources: Send your partner articles or information about perfectly hidden depression as a low-pressure opening for discussion. Create Safe Pauses: Support opportunities for your partner to slow down and reflect by encouraging downtime rather than filling every moment with activity. Celebrate Small Risks: Acknowledge and reinforce even tiny steps your partner makes toward vulnerability, understanding that each disclosure is significant. Check Your Own Role: Reflect on whether your own behaviors contribute to maintaining distance or perfectionism in your relationship and address them collaboratively. Exercise Patience: Recognize that changing entrenched emotional patterns takes time and sustained support; commit to ongoing encouragement and understanding.   Mentioned Perfectly Hidden Depression (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Perfectly Hidden Depression Workbook (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) How to recognize perfectly hidden depression | Margaret Rutherford | TEDxBoca Raton (*YouTube link) I Don't Want to Talk About It (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Brene Brown Relational Health Assessment    Connect with Dr. Margaret Rutherford Website: drmargaretrutherford.com Facebook: facebook.com/DrMargaretRutherford  X: x.com/doctor_margaret YouTube: youtube.com/@drmargaretrutherford  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drmargaretrutherford/  Pinterest: pinterest.com/doctormargaret/  Instagram: instagram.com/drmargaretrutherford

 "Augment, don't abdicate." This is one of the key principles that today's guest brings to AI: use it to strengthen human expertise and decision-making, not surrender judgment to it. In this episode, I'm joined by Bennett Borden, Founder and CEO of Clarion AI Partners, to explore why AI adoption is a leadership and human-judgment challenge, not simply a technology rollout.  Bennett is a lawyer and data scientist who advises global enterprises and leading AI developers on deploying AI systems that create real business value while managing risk. Known for translating complex AI developments into practical insights, he helps executives and policymakers understand how to move forward responsibly. In our conversation, Bennett shares how his path from intelligence work to law and data science shaped his belief that data reflects human conduct and should be handled with care. We discuss the promise and risks of generative and agentic AI, the importance of guardrails, and why he urges us to treat factual answers from AI like testimony from a hostile witness: question the source, seek other viewpoints, and ask for proof. We also explore Bennett's "Iron Man, not Terminator" approach to using AI to extend human capability rather than replace it. He shares questions leaders can ask to identify pain points, imagine new possibilities, and think more carefully about where AI can add the most value. Tune in for a timely discussion on how to make the most of AI while keeping humanity, responsibility, and care at the center. Key Points From This Episode:  Introducing Bennett Borden and the question of how leaders can harness AI without losing their humanity. [00:56] Bennett's core AI principles: AI adoption is a leadership problem before it is a technology problem, augment rather than abdicate, and manage risk responsibly. [03:40] How Bennett's study of history led him into intelligence work and data science. [04:58] Why Bennett sees data as a reflection of human conduct and something that must be handled responsibly. [09:10] How automated decision-making systems shape hiring, credit, recommendations, and other parts of daily life. [12:23] Why AI models need legal, ethical, and technical guardrails to reduce harm. [15:12] Bennett's top concern around AI: the rise of agentic AI, emergent behavior, and the need for stronger controls. [23:09] How to question AI outputs, set rules, and avoid accepting answers without proof. [25:47] Bennett's "Iron Man, not Terminator" approach to using AI to extend human capability. [27:42] Practical questions leaders can ask to identify pain points, imagine new possibilities, and use AI with greater care.

It will change every aspect of our lives, and we are just at the very, very beginning of seeing what that is. And already, we are seeing massive change." — Bennett Borden [0:19:18] "I also tell people to treat [AI models] like a hostile witness that you're cross-examining on the stand." — Bennett Borden [0:27:06] "The real question is, what can you do today that you could never have done before?

In this episode, Julie talks to Savannah about the small percentage of male-to-female crossdressers who dress strictly for the purpose of kink. From private bedroom play to fantasy role play, from forced-feminization to sissification, from dominance to BDSM, some men who enjoy dressing in a feminine way don't need a feminine presentation or a public-facing identity ... they enjoy the thrills of feminine dressing for the physical, emotional, and/or psychological release of it all.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey.

Betrayal is one of the deepest wounds divorce can carry. As part of her summer series on rebuilding after divorce, Susan Guthrie, family law attorney and mediator, turns her attention to healing itself, sitting down with Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the PBT (Post-Betrayal Transformation) Institute. Whether it's a loved one, a friend, a colleague, or someone entirely unexpected, betrayal reaches into nearly every part of life and can be hard to move beyond, sometimes for years. Dr. Silber has spent her career studying exactly that, building a program that guides people through the five stages of betrayal toward a new foundation and a new worldview. Together, she and Susan unpack why betrayal cuts so deep, walking through those stages and the reasons so many people stay stuck in the process without realizing it. As Dr. Silber puts it, "the best revenge is a life well lived." Wherever someone is in their own healing, this conversation offers a clear next step toward it. What You'll Learn Why betrayal is uniquely devastating, striking at the sense of self in ways other traumas don't Why Dr. Silber says that even though betrayal happened to you, it was never really about you The five stages of betrayal and healing, and how to recognize which one you're in The three reasons people get stuck and never fully heal from betrayal Why staying stuck in betrayal can function like an addiction, and what it takes to break the cycle Episode 7 of 8 in the Divorce & Beyond Summer Essentials Series.

What happens when you finally do the thing that scares you?After dreaming about giving a TEDx Talk, applying to numerous events, getting accepted, and spending six months preparing for the TEDx stage, I finally stepped onto that red circle and shared my message about the Imagination Recession and why play and creativity matter more than ever.But the experience taught me much more than how to give a TEDx Talk.In this episode of the Second Act Success Podcast, I'm sharing three powerful lessons I learned about fear, self-doubt, confidence, and going after big goals.I'm also sharing what surprised me about meeting the other TEDx speakers and realizing that even incredibly accomplished people experience imposter syndrome and wonder whether their story is worthy of being heard.If you're considering a career change, starting a business, pursuing a dream, or simply trying to find the courage to take your next big step, this episode is your reminder that confidence doesn't have to come before action.Sometimes you have to do the scary thing first.

The singer-songwriter on her early introduction to musicals in Port Moresby, how singing became a form of speech therapy for her stutter and also a path into her life's work.Meg Washington was born in a musical home in Port Moresby, where her parents had met as Australian expats.Meg and her sister spent a lot of their time watching classic Hollywood musicals and also down at the local yacht club where their dad DJ'd every Saturday night.Singing became something Meg was encouraged to do herself after she developed a stutter as a little girl.And eventually it grew from a therapy into a thrill.Meg's stutter was something she did her best to disguise while building her career as a singer and songwriter in Australia.But after going public about her speech impediment in a TedX Talk, Meg realised she no longer cared about hiding who she was.This honesty led to a whole host of exciting new opportunities – including becoming the voice of Calypso in Bluey, and making a film with her husband based on the iconic Paul Kelly song, “How To Make Gravy”.More informationThis episode was produced by Meggie Morris.

What if one of the best things you could do for an anxious, frustrated, or struggling kid is...do a little less?I know. Every parenting instinct in us is screaming, “Help them! Fix it! Tell them it's going to be okay!”But Dr. Kathryn Hecht says there's a problem with that last one: We're not wizards. We actually don't know that everything is going to be okay, and our kids are smart enough to know it too.So what can we say instead?In this episode, Dr. Hecht gives us an incredibly simple formula that combines empathy with confidence, plus a 10-second parenting rule that might be harder to practice than it sounds. We're talking about how to help kids do hard things, tolerate frustration, become more independent, and build real confidence without throwing them into the proverbial deep end.And I love this because we're not talking about manufacturing scary experiences for our kids. We're talking about the everyday stuff. Buttons. Homework. Birthday parties. Trying something new. All those little moments when we have to decide: Do I swoop in, or do I give my child a chance to discover, “Oh. I can handle this.”If you want to raise kids who see uncertainty less as a threat and more as something they can navigate, keep listening. This one is practical enough to use today.Resources We Mention for Raising Brave KidsSee Dr. Kathryn's books:The Be Brave Activity Book: 100 Exposure-Based Challenges That DARE Kids to Boss Back Their Worry and Anxiety Once and for All (Amazon/Bookshop.org)Releasing in February 2027 – The Can-Do Activity Book for Kids: Try Things on Your Own, Deal with Big Feelings, and Grow Confident Along the Way (Amazon/Bookshop.org)Watch Dr. Kathryn's TEDx Talk, “How to raise kids who can handle hard things”Get your kids started learning to do hard things with #LifeSkillsNow!Germ theory vs. terrain theory with Dr. Catherine ClintonThe “Worst Mom in America” on Raising Confident KidsHave kids anxious about eating?

Award-winning mediator and TEDx speaker Doug Noll reveals a simple communication technique that can calm anger, resolve conflict, and strengthen relationships in seconds. Discover why the words "You feel..." may be the most powerful phrase you'll ever use.Doug Noll is an award-winning mediator, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, creator of the Noll Method™, and founder of the Prison of Peace program. After spending 22 years as a successful trial lawyer, Doug changed careers and dedicated his life to helping people solve difficult, highly emotional conflicts.In this fascinating conversation, Doug shares insights from his TEDx Talk, Listen Someone Into Existence, and explains how one simple skill can dramatically improve communication. Instead of focusing on the words people say, Doug teaches us to listen for the emotions behind the words and reflect those emotions back using simple statements such as, "You feel frustrated," "You feel misunderstood," or "You feel disrespected."This technique, called affect labeling, helps people feel seen, heard, and understood. Research shows that accurately naming emotions can calm the brain's emotional centers in seconds, reducing tension and creating trust.Doug has used these methods in some of America's most violent prisons through his Prison of Peace program, helping inmates learn to manage emotions and resolve conflict peacefully. The same skills can be used in marriages, families, parenting, workplaces, and leadership roles.We also discuss why empathy is not weakness but a powerful leadership skill. Doug challenges traditional communication advice and explains why direct "You feel..." statements are often more effective than common "I think you're feeling..." responses.Doug shares a simple three-step process:Ignore the words.Listen for the emotions.Reflect those emotions back using "You feel..." statements.The result is a practical tool that can help de-escalate conflict, build trust, and create deeper connections in every area of life.In This Episode You'll Learn:How to calm an angry person in 90 seconds or lessThe science behind affect labelingWhy empathy is a leadership skillHow to help others feel seen, heard, and understoodWhy "You feel..." statements build trust and connectionHow these techniques improve relationships, parenting, leadership, and conflict resolutionThe communication skills that transformed violent prison environmentsAbout Doug NollDoug Noll is an award-winning mediator, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and founder of the Prison of Peace program.

What if one of our most loving parenting instincts is accidentally making our kids less confident?Oof.As parents, we're wired to help. To reassure. To rescue. To make the crying stop in the grocery store before everyone in aisle seven starts judging us. (You know what I mean?)But child psychologist Dr. Kathryn Hecht says kids aren't nearly as fragile as we sometimes treat them.In fact, they need age-appropriate challenges to build what she calls “handleability”, that deep-down belief that says: This is hard, but I can handle it.I absolutely loved this conversation because it gets right into the practical question so many of us are wrestling with: How do we raise kids who can actually handle hard things?We dig into:Why constantly removing obstacles can undermine a child's confidence, even when we're doing it out of loveThe fascinating idea that kids are anti-fragile, and why some stress and challenge actually help build emotional resilienceWhy “healthy kids = happy kids” is a parenting myth we may need to toss outHow rescuing a child brings short-term relief but can create more distress long-termWhy our kids sometimes interpret our help as evidence that they couldn't have handled it themselvesWhat “coping efficacy” or “handleability” looks like in normal family life, without turning your home into a psychology clinicWhy exposure therapy is much less scary than it sounds, and how parents can help kids take small, voluntary steps toward something difficultThe difference between roller-coaster scary and horror-movie scary, and why that distinction might completely change how you help an anxious or hesitant childDr. Hecht has this incredible ability to take clinical psychology and turn it into language that makes you think, “Ohhhh. I can actually use this with my kid.”And I have a feeling you'll finish this one looking at your child's next hard moment a little differently.Resources We Mention for Raising Resilient KidsSee Dr. Kathryn's books:The Be Brave Activity Book: 100 Exposure-Based Challenges That DARE Kids to Boss Back Their Worry and Anxiety Once and for All (Amazon/Bookshop.org)Releasing in February 2027 – The Can-Do Activity Book for Kids: Try Things on Your Own, Deal with Big Feelings, and Grow Confident Along the Way (Amazon/Bookshop.org)Watch Dr. Kathryn's TEDx Talk, “How to raise kids who can handle hard things”How to Raise an Adult by Julie Lythcott-Haims and my interview with JulieGet your kids started learning to do hard things with #LifeSkillsNow!Check out my new book at raisinghealthyfamilies.com/pickybook!Kitchen StewardshipRaising Healthy Families follow Katie on Instagram or FacebookSubscribe to the newsletter to get weekly updatesYouTube shorts channel for HPHFind the Healthy Parenting Handbook at raisinghealthyfamilies.com/podcastAffiliate links used here.

Text and Be HeardA gambling ad offering “Free Money” sounds harmless until you ask the real question: what's it training your brain to do next? We go behind the scenes of our TEDx Talk, "The Dark World of Gambling", and unpack why the sports betting boom isn't just about entertainment. It's about psychology, attention, and an industry that understands addiction triggers better than most people realize.We talk through the moment that hooks so many compulsive gamblers: the first early win. That quick hit of dopamine can inflate confidence, lower caution, and start a long chase where “getting back to even” becomes the only goal that matters. From there, we break down how today's sports betting apps speed up the entire cycle with prop bets, live betting, and microbetting, turning a single game into hundreds of chances to gamble. Add 24/7 access and relentless advertising, and it's easy to see why people fall in fast and struggle to simply stop.We also move past awareness into recovery tools you can use right now. We share mindset work that fights shame, simple affirmations that rebuild identity, and why filling your schedule with meetings, gym time, work, and family time matters more than motivation. We talk about pausing before you spend money, choosing real connection over the fantasy of the next win, and using structured resources to jumpstart progress and support long-term change.If you're ready to take a step, download our free Recovery Growth Scorecard at lifeiswonderful.love, watch the TEDx talk by searching “TEDx Third Ward Hugo,” and tell us what part hit home.

Title: Food: The Ultimate Messenger  In this episode, we're looking at a warming world through a lens you may not expect: your dinner plate. Our guest is Mike Hoffmann, who has spent his career helping people understand the impacts of carbon pollution through the foods we all love and need. Mike has written on the subject for outlets including The Hill, Fortune, Medium, and USA Today, and is the lead author of Our Changing Menu: Climate Change and the Foods We Love and Need, published by Cornell Press in 2021. He's also delivered a TEDx Talk, "Climate Change: It's Time to Raise Our Voices," and has given more than 150 related talks over the course of his career. Mike grew up on a one-cow dairy farm, served in the Marines during the Vietnam War, and went on to hold multiple leadership roles at Cornell's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, where he now holds the title of Professor Emeritus. As he puts it, he intends to keep telling this story for as long as he can.  The conversation opens with a snapshot of where things stand this fall with extreme weather, from wildfires and rising heat to the incoming El Niño, setting the stage for the deeper conversation about food. From there, Mike explains why he chose food as his entry point into this story rather than energy, sea level rise, or extreme weather, and what makes it such a powerful and relatable way to reach people. He and host Shannon Maganiezin dig into how food itself is changing due to excess greenhouse gases (GHGs), including troubling shifts in nutritional quality, the vitamins, proteins, and essential minerals that our diets depend on.  Mike also shares a story about pizza, one he's found to be a surprisingly effective way to illustrate the far-reaching effects of a warming climate on the foods we love, drawn from the many presentations he's given on the topic. The discussion turns to his teaching at Cornell, where he leads a course called Using the Power of Food to Confront Climate Change, and what he's learned from working with the next generation on these issues. The episode closes on a call to action: Mike's belief that food is the ultimate messenger for telling this story, and the potential for real change if more people start talking about and sharing it, including producers, food media, consumer groups, and chefs.  Tune in for a conversation that reframes carbon and other GHG pollution as something we all encounter three times a day and hear why one of the field's most experienced voices believes food may be our best tool yet for getting people to listen.

What happens when life gives a child every reason to surrender—and he refuses? In Tears Run Dry: A Story of Courage in the Face of Poverty, Tribalism and Racism, Dr. Patrick Kalenzi shares an extraordinary true story of survival, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of something more. Born to Rwandese Tutsi refugee parents and raised in Uganda, Patrick's childhood was shaped by poverty, hunger, discrimination, violence, and civil war. At just fourteen years old, he was pulled into a guerrilla army. Yet even when survival itself was uncertain, he held fiercely to something he believed could change the course of his life: education. His journey would eventually carry him from the villages of Uganda to America, where the boy who once struggled simply to eat and remain in school became a veterinarian, entrepreneur, author, and international speaker. But Tears Run Dry is more than a story about overcoming impossible odds. It is a story about family, sacrifice, identity, the transformative power of education, and the people whose acts of kindness can alter the trajectory of another person's life.

This is the final chapter of my TEDx story before I step onto the stage, and this time, I'm not telling it from the other side. I'm recording it in real time, just days before the talk, while the nerves, perfectionism, and overthinking are very much alive. In this episode, I'm sharing what surprised me about getting close to a big goal, why success can sometimes make our stress patterns louder instead of quieter, and the shift that's helping me stay grounded as the red circle gets closer. Because sometimes the hardest part isn't starting. It's letting yourself arrive.

Have you ever stayed quiet because bringing something up felt harder than just letting it go? Between busy schedules, phones, family responsibilities, and years of falling into familiar patterns, it can be surprisingly easy to become disconnected from the people closest to you without realizing it. I sat down with licensed marriage and family therapist Colette Jane Fehr to talk about why avoiding conflict can quietly create distance, and how approaching difficult conversations with honesty and vulnerability can actually bring you closer. We unpack the difference between sharing what you're truly feeling and turning your interpretations into facts about the other person.

“Parents, I love you. I feel you. It is something to navigate these waters of parenting. It's not for the faint of heart, and we are thrown into it.” Batya Greenwald After 27 years as an educator, Batya Greenwald realized the parents she was talking to needed something more than another behavior chart. They needed a way to understand what their child's behavior was actually telling them. In this episode, Batya, a transformative parent and life coach with more than 30 years of experience, joins us to talk about why “behavior really is communication,” and what changes when parents start responding to that message instead of just the behavior itself. Batya walks us through what transformative parenting means in practice: shifting from reacting to responding, holding boundaries without abandoning empathy, and staying grounded when a child's questions about identity, gender, or independence catch a parent off guard. She also gets honest about the toll of the job itself, telling parents everywhere, “It's not for the faint of heart.” About Our Guest Batya Greenwald is a transformative parent and life coach with more than 30 years of experience helping children, parents, and individuals navigate life's biggest challenges and transitions. After 27 years as an educator, she transitioned into coaching, combining behavioral, cognitive, and awareness-based approaches to help people unlock resilience, strengthen relationships, and live with greater purpose. Born in South Africa, shaped by years in Australia, and now based in Boulder, Colorado, Batya brings a global perspective and deep compassion to every conversation. She holds a B.A. in Psychology, an M.A. in Education, and a certificate in Integrative Coaching. She serves on faculty for PassageWorks and Girls Leadership, is a TEDx speaker, and received the 2023 Impact on Education Award. In This Episode, We Cover What led Batya to leave 27 years in education to become a parent and life coach The parenting challenges showing up today that weren't as common 10 or 20 years ago Why so many parents feel like they're failing, and where that lack of confidence comes from What “transformative parenting” means, and how it differs from simply correcting behavior Learning to read a child's behavior as communication, not just something to fix Responding instead of reacting when emotions run high at home The role of self-awareness in becoming a better parent A mindset shift that helps families thrive through major transitions Supporting kids through questions about sex and gender identity Building stronger connections with teenagers without pushing them away Balancing acknowledgment of a child's feelings with holding firm boundaries Helping kids learn to integrate their own feelings Finding the right combination of structure and flexibility Navigating school transitions Making space for quiet time in a fast-paced world Why warmth and repair matter more than getting it perfect Other Lines Worth Remembering “Behavior really is communication.” “At the end of the day, what is the long view? For me, the long goal with most of my families is that they want to keep that relationship.” “Sometimes teenagers need us to just sit down with them and say, ‘I've got you and I hear you.'” Resources Mentioned & Related Reading Batya Greenwald Coaching: her website [link needed, not included in source doc] TEDx Talk, “What Kindergarteners Taught Me About Gender”: watch on YouTube [link needed, not included in source doc] Teen Behavior: What's Typical, What Are the Signs of a Problem?: ColumbiaDoctors article

In this episode, Savannah talks to Julie about a comment on the "Hey Judy, The Exit Interview" podcast episode, where one listener was concerned about sharing the podcast with their wife because of Savannah and Judy's breakup after 262 episodes. What happens when you follow the public adventures of someone whose life resonates with you? What happens when that life you were following zigs when you were expecting it to zag? How does that affect the trajectory of your own journey? Savannah and Julie talk candidly about where Savannah is currently on her life's path and weigh the benefits and dangers of hitching your own wagon to another. In the end, it is impossible to know where your own journey will take you, and that Savannah's story is neither a fairy tale to blindly aspire to nor a cautionary tale to avoid.

What if real mental strength isn't about pushing through—but knowing when you no longer have to? So many women become the person everyone depends on. They lead at work, care for their families, keep everything running, and somehow continue smiling while quietly carrying more than anyone realizes. In this deeply validating conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with psychotherapist, bestselling author, and mental strength expert Amy Morin to redefine what it truly means to be mentally strong. Drawing from her own profound experiences of losing both her mother and her husband unexpectedly, Amy shares how resilience isn't built by suppressing emotions or pretending everything is okay. Instead, it's developed through learning how to manage our thoughts, regulate our emotions, and take intentional actions that move us forward, even during life's hardest seasons. Together, they discuss why high-functioning women are especially vulnerable to burnout, how perfectionism and the inner critic keep us stuck, why "good enough" is often exactly what our families need, and how small daily resets can dramatically improve emotional resilience. Amy also shares practical tools for interrupting rumination, quieting negative self-talk, building self-compassion, reconnecting with your values, and creating simple habits that strengthen your mental health over time. If you've been holding everything together for everyone else while quietly wondering how much longer you can keep going, this conversation is the reminder that true strength isn't about carrying more. It's about knowing when it's safe to put some of it down. AMY MORIN Amy Morin is a licensed psychotherapist, bestselling author, keynote speaker, and host of the Mentally Stronger podcast. She is one of the world's leading experts on mental strength, and her TEDx Talk has been viewed millions of times. Her books, including 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do and The Mental Strength Playbook, have been translated into more than 50 languages. Through her work, Amy helps people build resilience, manage emotions, and develop healthier habits for navigating life's biggest challenges. IN THIS EPISODE What mental strength really is—and what it isn't Why high-functioning women are especially vulnerable to burnout How to quiet your inner critic with self-compassion Practical ways to interrupt rumination and negative thought loops Why your values should guide your decisions, not your to-do list The truth about mom guilt and "good enough" parenting Simple daily resets that strengthen emotional resilience Practical tools to build mental strength one small step at a time QUOTES“Real strength is being able to experience your emotions and express them.” “You don't have to believe everything you think.” “Being the strong one doesn't mean carrying everything by yourself.” “Sometimes mental strength is about what you don't do.” RESOURCES MENTIONEDUse code DRMARIZA and get 10% off on your Womeness Order The Mental Strength Playbook by Amy Morin Amy Morin Website Amy Morin Instagram Amy Morin on X Amy Morin Spotify Podcast Amy Moring Apple Podcast RELATED EPISODES  764: Why Your Nervous System Feels Dysregulated (Even When You're Doing Everything Right) with Roseann Capanna-Hodge 760: The Mindset Shift That Helps You Stop Feeling Stuck with Dr. Rachel Goldman 758: Why Your Body Can't Heal Until It Feels Safe: The Nervous System Shift That Changes Everything with Dr. Dave Rabin 754: How to Find Joy When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan with Amberly Lago

When you're hungry, you know you're more interested in food. But hunger also changes the way you think—and the effects can spill over into decisions that have nothing to do with eating. Researchers have discovered some surprising consequences of making important choices on an empty stomach. https://www.dundee.ac.uk/press-release/dont-make-major-decisions-empty-stomach-research-suggests Finding cheap airfare has become almost a game. People swear by booking on Tuesdays, searching in incognito mode, or buying tickets at a certain time of day. But how much of that actually works? The truth is that airline pricing is driven by a surprisingly complex system—and once you understand what really causes fares to rise and fall, you can dramatically improve your odds of paying less. Here with an insider's look at how airfare pricing really works is Scott Keyes, founder of Going.com (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights), which tracks airfare deals for more than two million travelers worldwide. Listening to this conversation will save you money. People say they're "burned out" all the time. But are they really? According to the official definition, true burnout is far less common than most people think. In fact, many people who believe they're burned out are actually dealing with something very different—and treating the wrong problem only makes things worse. Psychotherapist and mental strength expert Amy Morin explains how to tell the difference, what burnout really looks like, and the practical steps that can help you regain your energy. Amy hosts the award-winning Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin podcast (https://amymorinlcsw.com/podcasts/), her TEDx Talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFbv757kup4) has been viewed more than 25 million times, and she is author of The Mental Strength Playbook. (https://amzn.to/4yG8yR5). Waiting in line, sitting on hold, or watching the spinning wheel on your computer can feel maddening. But here's the interesting part: it's often not the wait itself that frustrates us. What really gets under our skin is something else entirely. Once you understand why waiting feels so unpleasant, you'll discover a few surprisingly simple ways to make almost any wait seem much shorter and more tolerable. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/dec/15/i-waited-45-minutes-to-buy-a-single-croissant-in-fitzroy-why-do-humans-queue PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS AIR DOCTOR: Head to https://AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code SYSK to get $250 off select AirDoctor air purifiers, including the 3500, 4000, and 5500 models.
