In this episode, I talk with Diana Butler Bass about her new book A Beautiful Year and the deeper story that sits beneath our experience of time. We explore how the Roman calendar still shapes us with the imagination of empire - militarism, consumerism, and control - and how the Christian calendar offers a counter-formation rooted in love, hope, peace, and a circular sense of time that keeps drawing us deeper into God. Diana walks us through Advent's darkness and silence, the meaning of waiting in an age addicted to noise, the subversive beauty of St. Martin's Day on November 11, and the power of saying “no” to imperial narratives through the ordinary practices that shape a life. We talk about storytelling, grief, Candlemas, the parables of Jesus, and how the Christian year can help us embody a different kind of presence in the world - one marked by compassion, courage, and light. This is a conversation about time, but really, it's about learning to live a better story.Diana Butler Bass, Ph.D. (Duke University) is an award-winning author of eleven books, a speaker, preacher, and a trusted commentator on religion and contemporary spirituality. Her bylines include The New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, CNN Opinion, On Being, and Readers Digest. She has appeared on CBS, CNN, PBS, NPR, and other global news outlets.

In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes Dr. Eugene Lipov — physician, researcher, and the world's leading expert on using Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) to treat post-traumatic stress. Dr. Lipov pioneered the use of SGB for trauma recovery in 2006, adapting a decades-old FDA-approved procedure into a breakthrough therapy for PTSD. He later developed the Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR) protocol, which has helped thousands experience rapid and life-changing relief. Motivated by his own family's experience with trauma, Dr. Lipov is also a global advocate for redefining PTSD as Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) — a term that removes stigma and reflects the biological nature of the condition. His work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Fox National News, NBC, and numerous medical journals. He has testified before Congress, worked with military organizations worldwide, and continues to push trauma treatment into a new era of science-backed innovation.

College football season this year is…. different. How so, you ask? It's not just the breakout success of Indiana's Hoosiers and the crushing disappointment of Penn State, although those are both noteworthy developments. It's the golden parachutes being doled out to bad coaches from public schools. Some of the biggest parachutes we've so far include Penn State's payout to coach James Franklin to the tune of $49 million dollars. We also have another big payout to Brian Kelly at LSU. So far across the country, we're looking at millions in go-away payouts for failing college football coaches from public colleges, colleges where many students continue to take on exorbitant debt to earn a degree. Is this okay? USA TODAY Senior National College Football Writer Matt Hayes and USA TODAY Sports Project Reporter Steve “Berk” Berkowitz join USA TODAY's The Excerpt to dig into all of it.Have feedback on the show?

Do you have a teen who feels everything deeply—who's easily overwhelmed, deeply compassionate, or just needs more downtime than others?Have you ever wondered whether your child's sensitivity is actually a superpower rather than a weakness? In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Judith Orloff, psychiatrist, empath, and New York Times bestselling author, joins Colleen O'Grady to explore how parents can understand and support their highly sensitive teens. Dr. Orloff shares how sensitivity and empathy—often misunderstood—are powerful traits that can help teens grow into caring, grounded adults when they have the right support. From defining what it means to be an empath, to setting healthy emotional boundaries, to helping sensitive teens manage overwhelm, Dr. Orloff offers practical wisdom for parents and heartfelt encouragement for anyone raising a deeply feeling child. Together, Colleen and Dr. Orloff discuss how sensitivity can be both a gift and a challenge, and how moms can nurture these qualities without taking on too much themselves. Guest Bio: Dr. Judith Orloff Dr. Judith Orloff is a psychiatrist on the UCLA Psychiatric Clinical Faculty and a New York Times bestselling author whose books include The Genius of Empathy, The Empath's Survival Guide, and her newest children's book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit. She specializes in helping highly sensitive people and empaths thrive in an often overwhelming world. Dr. Orloff has spoken at the American Psychiatric Association, Google, Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, and TEDx, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, O, The Oprah Magazine, USA Today, Teen Vogue, and Scientific American.
