In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with author and podcast host Douglas Robbins to explore how mental health directly influences our ability to make clear decisions. From childhood programming and emotional reactivity to spiritual practices and self-honor, Douglas offers grounded wisdom on moving beyond fear and rewriting our internal narratives. Whether you're navigating big life choices or struggling with everyday self-doubt, this conversation challenges the myth that mental wellness is optional—and makes the case that it's the foundation for living fully. About the Guest:Douglas Robbins is the author of deeply reflective books like Narikan: The Cloaked Deception, Love in a Dying Town, and Baseball Dreams and the Bikers, each probing the complexities of identity, resilience, and legacy. As host of The Douglas Robbins Show, he brings raw and honest discussions about personal growth, spirituality, and societal issues to life. His work centers on helping others connect with truth, act with intention, and live with deeper self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Emotional reactivity often stems from unexamined childhood patterns and fear-driven narratives. True decision-making starts by honoring the present moment—not reacting from the past. Legacy is not wealth; it's the integrity and example you leave behind. Journaling, meditation, and limiting media noise can help sharpen self-awareness. Emotional wellness isn't a luxury—it's the compass for every meaningful action.

Tonight, we're diving into the tough stuff—family pressures, personal boundaries, and the fight to be heard. What happens when a teen faces a medical procedure they didn't consent to, or when a smear campaign tears a marriage apart? We'll explore parenting dilemmas, like a daycare questioning bath time or a 5-year-old refusing dental visits over privacy concerns. From CPS exhaustion to debating kids or navigating birthday party gift etiquette, we're tackling it all. Plus, we'll ask: is it okay to love staying in with your toddler, or to skip showers for a month? No judgment, just real talk. Settle in, and let's unpack the heart of it all. This is Late Night Love.

Send us a textIn today's episode, we're diving into a practical blueprint for making those big, life-shaping decisions that often feel overwhelming because of the risks involved. The process unfolds in four main stages, each with important sub-steps to guide your thinking. Start by asking yourself if the decision is reversible-can you change course later, or is it a one-way door with lasting consequences? Next, consider how much time you have: if time is tight, it's usually wiser to take the safer path. If you do have time, assess how much certainty you have about the options. When there's a fair amount of certainty, go for the choice with the highest return on investment. But if uncertainty is high, pause and ask yourself whether you might regret this decision down the line. This framework helps you navigate complexity, manage risk, and make confident choices about your future. Tune in for a step-by-step guide and real-world examples to help you master big decisions.في حلقة اليوم، سنتناول خارطة الطريق العملية لاتخاذ القرارات الكبيرة والمصيرية التي غالباً ما تبدو صعبة بسبب المخاطر المرتبطة بها. تتكوّن هذه العملية من أربع مراحل رئيسية، وكل مرحلة تتضمن خطوات فرعية مهمة تساعدك على التفكير بشكل منهجي. ابدأ بسؤال نفسك: هل القرار قابل للتراجع أم لا؟ هل يمكنك تغييره لاحقاً أم أنه قرار نهائي لا رجعة فيه؟ بعد ذلك، فكّر في الوقت المتاح أمامك: إذا كان الوقت ضيقاً، من الأفضل غالباً اختيار الخيار الأكثر أماناً. أما إذا كان لديك متسع من الوقت، فقيّم مدى اليقين الذي تملكه تجاه الخيارات المطروحة. إذا كان هناك قدر كافٍ من اليقين، اختر الخيار الذي يحقق أعلى عائد ممكن. أما إذا كانت نسبة عدم اليقين مرتفعة، توقف واسأل نفسك: هل من الممكن أن أندم على هذا القرار لاحقاً؟ هذه المنهجية ستساعدك على التعامل مع التعقيدات، وإدارة المخاطر، واتخاذ قرارات واثقة بشأن مستقبلك. استمع للحلقة لتتعرف على الدليل الكامل خطوة بخطوة وأمثلة واقعية تساعدك على إتقان فن اتخاذ القرارات الكبرى.

Ohio voted in DeWine, and his son. It was their choice. They knew he had a school in Haiti. Don't blame others. Did you contest it?

Travis Rieder, a professor of bioethics at Johns Hopkins University, is fascinated by the world's ethical dilemmas.His work sits at the intersection of medicine and philosophy, but also draws from his own life experiences like in his book, In Pain: A Bioethicist's Personal Struggle with Opioids. His latest book, Catastrophe Ethics: How to Choose Well in a World of Tough Choices, delves into moral decision-making in the context of climate change and other pressing ethical challenges.Travis chats with host Greg LeBlanc about his harrowing experience with opioid withdrawal following a motorcycle accident, historic societal shifts in opioid perception, and how much one's individual decision-making truly impacts structural problems like climate change or the healthcare system.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How did we get to the place where we have conflicting attitudes about opioids?09:53: How did we get to the place where we have conflicting attitudes about opioids? Because some people seem to think that they are, worth giving out like candy, and some people seem to think that they're like the devil's magic or whatever. And that story is old. That story is 200 years old plus, and it involves basically North America's attitudes just swinging back and forth from one extreme to the other. Every once in a while, we're like, "Oh, we really need to take pain seriously. Let's take opiates all the time." And then it predictably leads to a drug overdose crisis, an addiction crisis. And so the politicians freak out, and they slam on all the brakes, and they introduce new legislation. And then the country gets scared, and medicine gets scared. And we talk about how terrible these drugs are. And then we withhold them for 50 years. And then everyone's like, "Hey, maybe we should take care of cancer patients who are dying." And we start using the drugs again, and so on. And so we've done that move since the 1800s.Risky handoffs in medication management16:03: When it comes to pain medicine, when it comes to addiction management, when it comes to managing all sorts of difficult-to-manage medications, those handoffs are some of the riskiest places because they require care, and our system is not set up for that care to be there. Basic moral structure is everywhere41:00: The main contribution that I wanted my book to make was to make clear that same basic moral structure, that we are contributing in very small ways to all sorts of goods and bads, good moral projects and bad moral projects, all the time. That basic puzzle is everywhere.If someone argues that individual behavior doesn't matter, why would anyone bother trying?33:44: Our actions have been decoupled from the consequences that make us worry. And so climate change is bad because it harms people. And so my classic moral brain says, okay, harm, that means don't do it. So, everything that I do that contributes to climate change, I'm like, okay, I shouldn't do that because climate change harms. But the thing is that the principle was don't cause harm, and your individual action doesn't cause harm. Your individual action does this other thing, which is it infinitesimally contributes to this massive, complex system that is so big and so complex, we can't really comprehend it.

Though this episode was recorded before the final board meeting that determined these course corrections, Marisela provides an honest, heartfelt look at the complexities and emotional weight of such decisions. Together, they discuss the resilient spirit of Caldwell's educators and the community's ongoing efforts to ensure that all students receive a quality education despite the financial hurdles.Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the specific changes on the horizon for Caldwell's schools, such as the closure of one elementary school and the restructuring of middle schools. They will also hear about the critical importance of community engagement in shaping the school district's future, as well as the strategies being employed to navigate budget shortfalls while prioritizing student well-being and educational quality.

My most recent guest was Khara Croswaite Brindle. We talked about her book, Understanding Ruptured Mother-Daughter Relationships: Guiding the Adult Daughter's Healing Journey Through the Estrangement Energy Cycle. One point that came up was the ease with which we can judge other people's choices. This can happen in various situations, including estrangements, estate planning decisions, and succession planning in a family business. They share common pitfalls. First, so often, nothing good comes from these judgements.  Next, we don't know the whole story. Finally, as was so clear in my conversation with Khara, the fact that a choice was made never guarantees that it was an easy one for the person who made it. And not that it is easy to live with. In some circumstances, it will be best to explain the basis for the decision. Even if others disagree, there is an opportunity to understand.  In others, that isn't appropriate. Either way, the rest of us can try not to judge. Or, at least, we can keep our judgments to ourselves. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

The climate crisis presents us with a number of moral challenges. We all produce emissions, but there are massive differences and inequities in how much pollution each individual is responsible for and who is harmed the most by the consequences. As the very real impacts of the crisis only become more obvious and deadly, we continue to ask ourselves: what is our responsibility?  In this week's show, we dig into some of the tough ethical considerations for living in a climate crisis. To do so, we talk to Travis Rieder, an associate research professor at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. Rieder is the author of multiple books including In Pain: A Bioethicist's Personal Struggle with Opioids. His latest book is Catastrophe Ethics: How to Choose Well in a World of Tough Choices. We discuss the conversations around individual responsibility vs. collective action, how to determine our best path for fighting climate change, and what it means to exist between purity and nihilism.  Read Catastrophe Ethics: How to Choose Well in a World of Tough Choices As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

Roe v. Wade was overturned almost two years ago, and a lot has changed in terms of abortion choices in the United States. Some states have effectively banned abortion, while others have such confusing laws that it's difficult for the people who live there to know what their reproductive rights are.The post-Dobbs landscape hasn't just affected the care people can receive: It's also changed where physicians choose to work, especially if they're in states where they can be criminally prosecuted for performing abortions.Last month, the Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare published a report that found that 22% of ob-gyns have left the state since June of 2022 — a massive amount for a state that already has the fewest physicians per capita in the country. Ongoing research in Wisconsin has found that the Dobbs decision has affected where medical students choose to study, and has even dissuaded some from choosing obstetrics as a specialty.Joining Ira to talk about this are two ob-gyns from states with abortion restrictions: Dr. Sara Thomson, based in Boise, Idaho, and Dr. Abby Cutler, assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.Transcript for this segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com Subscribe to this podcast.

How do we decide with ease? The idea of having the power to choose, to choose a different direction, to speak up to authority, to let go, to create, to shut down, sounds good. But life isn't always that simple. Making high-stakes decisions involving work, money, and family can be frightening. Our guest is Stef Ziev, former TV executive turned certified life and executive coach. Her new book is called THE CHOICE IS YOURS: A Simple Approach to Live and Lead With More Joy, Ease, and Purpose.
