I had on a top clinical therapist and she said no, it's not, but there is something we can do to feel better. Dr. Maytal Eyal is a top practicing psychologist whose writing has been featured in The Atlantic, TIME, Wired, and Psychology Today, and her insights have appeared in NPR, BBC, Vogue, Vox, The Guardian, and Cosmopolitan. In this conversation, we dive into what we can all do instead of 1:1 therapy to feel better, how to know if therapy is working for you, and we answer many of your therapy questions.

Why do so many women suddenly start waking up at 3:00 a.m. during perimenopause? In this practical and science-backed conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with renowned sleep specialist Dr. Michael Breus to unpack why sleep changes so dramatically during perimenopause and menopause, and what women can do to finally get restorative sleep again. Dr. Breus explains how fluctuating estrogen, progesterone, melatonin, cortisol, body temperature, and blood sugar all collide during midlife, creating the perfect storm for middle-of-the-night awakenings. He shares why waking up at 3:00 a.m. is incredibly common, how modern habits often make it worse, and why women need a layered approach instead of relying on a single solution. Together, they discuss everything from sleep apnea, hormone replacement therapy, alcohol, caffeine, blood sugar, and evening routines to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), breathwork, thermoregulation, and supplementation. Most importantly, Dr. Breus offers practical strategies women can begin implementing immediately to improve sleep quality, reduce nighttime wakeups, and build a foundation for better health through every stage of menopause. If you've been lying awake at 3:00 a.m. wondering what's happening to your body, this episode is packed with answers and actionable solutions. DR. MICHAEL BREUS Dr. Michael Breus is a board-certified clinical psychologist, clinical sleep specialist, bestselling author, and founder of The Sleep Doctor. For more than two decades, he has helped millions of people improve their sleep through science-backed strategies focused on circadian rhythms, sleep disorders, behavioral sleep medicine, and overall wellness. He is the author of multiple bestselling books, including Sleep, Drink, Breathe. IN THIS EPISODE Why women commonly wake up around 3:00 a.m. during perimenopause How estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and blood sugar affect sleep The biggest mistakes women make before bedtime Why sleep apnea is often overlooked in midlife women How CBT-I can help retrain the brain for better sleep The role of caffeine, alcohol, fiber, and evening nutrition Why cooling the body improves sleep quality Practical habits that create a healthier nighttime routine QUOTES “Everything we do, we do better with a good night's sleep.” “Sleep is the currency of attention.” “You need runway to land the plane.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Get the “Sleep Drink Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health” book by Dr. Michael Breus. https://amzn.to/4b6OM75 Take the Chronoquiz nowGet the Home Sleep Study - The at-home sleep study measures key sleep metrics The Sleep Doctor Website The Sleep Doctor Instagram The Sleep Doctor Youtube RELATED EPISODES  758: Why Your Body Can't Heal Until It Feels Safe: The Nervous System Shift That Changes Everything with Dr. Dave Rabin 757: The Hidden Emotional Shift of Perimenopause (No One Prepared Us For) with Dr. Melinda Ring 756: What Low-Grade Inflammation Is Really Doing to Your Hormones, Brain & Metabolism with Dr. Mariza 755: What If Your Body Isn't Broken, Just Undernourished?

Travis Hahler: Wired for Change, Part 1 | Leading Humans Through AI Transformation Travis Hahler is the Senior Director of Global Strategy and Transformation at Salesforce and the founder of Neurological Nomad. His book Rethink Resistance, publishing June 23rd, explores how leaders can embrace human biology to drive meaningful change. Fun Fact: Travis loves a good pasta. Red sauce, vodka sauce, white sauce, all the sauces. You simply cannot go wrong. What You Will Learn Why telling employees to "go play" with AI activates fear rather than innovation How the brain defaults to the worst-case narrative when faced with ambiguity Why early adopters are only about two and a half percent of any workforce How to give your team clarity around what innovation means in their role Why group exploration is safer and more effective than solo adoption How ninety percent of AI users are only chatting with it, not leveraging its potential Why building competence over time beats trying to master everything at once How resisting AI to protect your job is the fastest path to losing it Why leadership is evolving from systems thinking to challenge and reinvention Key Insights Clarity is the foundation of transformation; define innovation before you ask for it Resistance is neurological, not personal; the brain defaults to protection under ambiguity Group adoption accelerates individual progress and lowers perceived risk Competence builds confidence, and confidence enables lasting change Staying still in the age of AI is a career risk, not a safe choice Leaders who thrive will model curiosity, adaptability, and purpose-driven growth Memorable Quotes "Everyone is talking about AI, but no one is talking about how they are going to do it." "People's brains automatically go to the negative." "You do not have to solve everything. Start with the basics." "Trying to hold on to your job is not going to help you save it." "AI is the buffet. You could get whatever you want, however you want it." Who Should Listen Leaders, executives, and professionals navigating AI adoption without a clear roadmap. If you are struggling with workforce resistance, unclear innovation mandates, or leading people through uncertainty, this conversation offers practical strategy and a neuroscience-informed view on why change feels hard. Your Next Step Start with one question: what is one task in your daily work that AI could make easier? Do not try to reinvent everything. Build from there. Leadership in the age of AI means showing up with curiosity, not perfection.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show by finally finding the tape: CannCon saying, on video, that the gas price national average would hit $2.40 by July 4. Then things get serious. Tulsi Gabbard's final declassification releases get a full assessment and neither host is impressed. Russia collusion debunked again, Fauci lied to Congress again, Ukraine biolabs confirmed again. Chris Paul makes the case that officializing things people have known for five years is not disclosure. It is a limited hangout by definition. From there, the Save America Act gets the full treatment: Trump's attachment of transgender surgery language and women's sports to legislation that has nothing to do with either makes it impossible to pass for anyone, and Jon and Chris argue that is entirely the point. Kimberly Strassel's Wall Street Journal piece calling this the "die on this hill" presidency becomes a case study in how institutional media cannot see what is in plain sight. Mark Levin's on-air meltdown and Ben Shapiro's freak out over the Iran MOU round out the geopolitics. The show closes on a live dig into a mysterious Trump True Social post and the leaked Wired exposé on Peter Thiel's secret Dialogue society, which ranks its members by wealth and fame using an algorithm.

Long before Putin's invasion of Ukraine, conflict was simmering on Europe's borders. In overlooked territories in eastern Europe, the eastern Mediterranean and the Caucasus –from the Balkans and Cyprus to Abkhazia on the fringes of Georgia – local disputes spiral into regional crises, global alliances are forged and broken, and power is brokered while the West looks elsewhere. In this episode, acclaimed correspondent Hannah Lucinda Smith joins Adam McCauley to discuss her new book Hinterlands: Journeys through Europe's Unfinished Frontiers. She draws on vivid first-hand experience to paint a gripping portrait of Europe at its edges - and the struggles that will define its future. Hannah Lucinda Smith is a journalist known for reporting across the Middle East and Europe for The Times of London, The Atlantic, WIRED, and others. She is the author of Erdogan Rising, an account of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rise to power, and Zarifa, the memoir of Afghan human rights activist Zarifa Ghafari. Adam McCauley is a journalist, academic, and policy analyst currently based in Ottawa, Canada. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this special Cybersecurity Today weekend interview, host David Shipley speaks with Amy Yee about leadership, resilience, and the human side of cybersecurity. Amy shares her remarkable journey from electrical engineering and venture capital to becoming the inaugural Chief Digital Officer at Accreditation Canada and Health Standards Organization, where she helped build the digital foundation used by hundreds of healthcare organizations across Canada. The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Amy recounts leading through a ransomware attack that struck her organization before tabletop exercises and incident-response planning had become routine. She describes the chaos of the first 48 hours, the emotional toll on staff, the difficult weeks that followed, and the lessons learned during a 60-day recovery effort. Amy also discusses her popular conference talk inspired by Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven, reimagined for cybersecurity. She explores five people every cyber professional encounters during their career: the person they protected, the person who challenged them, the person who gave them a chance, the person they failed, and the person they inspired. This is a conversation about cybersecurity, leadership, resilience, mentorship, and finding meaning in a profession that often works behind the scenes.

Trump lost the Iran war BIGLY, and the boys are here to break down the surrender and laugh about how funny it is. The 14-point memorandum of understanding went public on Wednesday and includes a complete end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, a $300 billion investment fund for the rebuilding of Iran, and unfreezing up to $167 Billion in Iranian assets. Trump flip-flopped on ballistic missiles and nuclear enrichment for civilian reasons, saying it would be unfair not to let Iran do it if their neighbors get to. The question hanging over everyone's heads is whether or not the deal will hold, considering Israel continues to strike Lebanon and says publicly that they will not pull out.

A leak of private information purportedly related to an ultra-secret society called “Dialog” founded by PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel has revealed the inner workings of an elite group to which hundreds of global leaders, business executives and billionaires belong. The documents, examined and revealed by Wired this week, show Thiel and investor Auren Hoffman co-founded Dialog in 2006 as a private, invitation-only and “bipartisan” network of influential people in technology, politics, academia, finance, government and beyond.  Dialog describes itself as a place for off-the-record relationships among leaders from different fields and ideological backgrounds, and the group hosts at least one in-person retreat per year at at lavish locations like the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain in Arizona, the Ritz Carlton in Santa Barbara, California and the San Clemente Palace in Venice.

“I didn't know I enjoyed thinking so much,” says science writer Roxanne Khamsi when asked what surprised her most about writing her first book Beyond Inheritance. “I thought I enjoyed interviewing people and reading research papers and the process of finding the right verb in a sentence. What's hard for me is once I get into that thinking space, I can't let go of it.” In this episode we talk about how she made the leap from writing articles to writing a book—and why they are so different. We talk about creating an arc for a book of essays, what to do when the structure for your book isn't working, letting go of a project once its over, meeting our self critic, the role of obsession in writing a book, the art of going for “the big idea” and how to carry that in a nonfiction book, how writing reflects the author's personality.Roxanne Khamsi is the author of Beyond Inheritance: Our Ever-Mutating Cells and a New Understanding of Health and a contributing writer at The Atlantic. Her articles on genetics have appeared in a wide range of publications, including The New York Times, Scientific American, Nature magazine and Wired. Roxanne served as chief news editor for the international research journal Nature Medicine for more than a decade.

Long before influencers were telling us to shove garlic in all orifices to cure hot-dog fingers, a college student thought it would be interesting to write a computer program that would upload pics of her in her dorm room every 15 minutes. Little did she know she would attract half a million followers (87% masturbators) and possibly play a role in the total collapse of humanity. On this episode of Strange Country, Beth and Kelly upload pics of themselves as they discuss Jennifer Ringley, the founder of Jennicam in 1996.

I grew up with a young, single mom, and the early years at home were tumultuous. Finances were tight, and things often felt unstable. From a very young age, I could eat as much as my grandfather. There was no real connection between feeling full and stopping. I was a chubby kid, taller than my classmates, and became very aware of how I ate in front of others. I tried dieting, but I couldn't stick to anything. I remember thinking, " Why lose weight if I'm just going to gain it back?”  Even as a teenager, I sensed something deeper -- that I was dealing with a real condition. I attended my first Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) meeting as a senior in high school. I heard food addiction described as a medical issue rather than a failure of willpower, like I had read in fashion magazines. That changed everything. When I began following the FA food plan with clear boundaries and structured meals, life started to shift. I experienced mental clarity, my anxiety began to ease, and I felt a sense of peace. After twenty-eight years in FA, the obsession is gone. Removing sugar and flour, along with using the tools of the program, has taken away that constant need to eat -- something no diet ever did. I felt supported through every stage of life, from weighing and measuring food in my college dorm to dating, marriage, and raising three children.  The daily routine of recovery in FA is second nature now, and it has created space for me to grow into who I am. Today, I have a Higher Power, a beautiful community, and a full life. This is a “we” program. I don't have to do this alone, and I no longer live in the struggle

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your best life isn't failure, it's what other people think of you?

Exploring the "tired but wired" state where exhaustion meets an overactive alerting system, Matt explains that insomnia is often a disorder of hyperarousal rather than a lack of sleep drive. Using metabolic data and brain activity, he shows how an internal "accelerator" remains pressed despite an empty fuel tank, causing the body and brain to stay alert when they should be resting.Matt shares evidence-based CBT-I tools to break this cycle, including the "cognitive shuffle" and specific imagery to quiet racing thoughts. He also covers muscle relaxation and rhythmic breathing to trigger a physiological stand-down. By practicing stimulus control - leaving bed when awake - listeners can stop associating the bedroom with wakefulness and finally lower their internal alerting systems.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.MUDWTR is the ultimate coffee alternative that delivers a natural morning pick-me-up without caffeine jitters.

If you are waking up between 2:00 and 4:00 AM, lying there wide awake with your heart beating a little too fast and your mind solving every problem in your life, this episode is for you. Because this is not just about bad sleep. It is about what happens when the hormonal, adrenal, and nervous system shifts of midlife collide with the stress load most women are already carrying. And for a lot of women, this is the moment they stop feeling like themselves. In this episode, I do a deep dive into what is actually happening beneath the surface when women in perimenopause and menopause start feeling wired, tired, fragile, overwhelmed, anxious, and unable to recover the way they used to. We talk about the HPA axis, cortisol rhythm, DHEA, blood sugar, stress intolerance, adrenal strain, and why the advice women are getting online is often way too surface level to actually help. I also share what this has looked like in my own body, why midlife can feel like the season where your body stops tolerating the way you have been living, and why that is not a personal failure. It is physiology. This episode lays the foundation for understanding the deeper systems driving midlife sleep disruption and stress dysregulation, so you can stop blaming yourself and start getting clearer on what your body may actually need. In this episode, we cover: Why 2:00 to 4:00 AM wakeups are so common in perimenopause and menopause The difference between being tired and being hormonally and neurologically dysregulated What the HPA axis is and why it matters for stress and sleep How estrogen and progesterone affect stress resilience and recovery Why cortisol is not the enemy, but timing matters How cortisol dysregulation can affect sleep, anxiety, belly fat, and energy Why DHEA is one of the most overlooked hormones in midlife The connection between blood sugar drops and middle-of-the-night wakeups Why the old coping strategies stop working in midlife Why testing cortisol rhythm and DHEA can be so helpful Who this episode is for This episode is for women in perimenopause and menopause who are struggling with broken sleep, 3 AM wakeups, stress intolerance, fatigue, anxiety, feeling wired at night, crashing in the morning, or just feeling like they cannot handle life the way they used to. It is especially for women who want to understand the deeper physiology behind what is happening instead of being told to just relax, meditate, or take one supplement and hope for the best.     Sponsors Try Vitali Exosomes Skin Care vitaliskincare.com use coupon KM20 to get 20% off your order!

Story of the Week (DR):SuperBroIpoDystopia: Some key facts: MMa record-breaking $135 per share with$1.8T valuationTo make that math make sense, analysts estimate the company needs to grow its sales by 50% every single year for the next decadeSpaceX lost $4.9B last yearWall Street is Being Treated Like Order-Takers: Musk pre-set the IPO price strictly at $135 and dictating exactly which investors got allocations. This forced major investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to act as glorified order-takers without even knowing their exact compensation beforehandSaudi Aramco $1.7T; Alibaba: $237B; Facebook $118BNasdaq aggressively pushed through "fast-entry" rule changes specifically to allow mega-caps like SpaceX to bypass the traditional year of seasoning and enter the Nasdaq-100 in just 15 trading days.

Morningstar did not respond to a request from CNBC for comment.S&P Dow Jones Indices didn't comment on the letter, but the company noted it had decided not to change its rules regarding indexes: “S&P DJI determined that exceptions to these requirements should not be granted solely based on market capitalization,” it said in a statement to CNBC. “The decision not to adopt the proposed exceptions preserves core index principles by maintaining consistent application of these key requirements.”Democrats ask Goldman Sachs CEO why he's keeping lawyer who said she'd resign over ties to EpsteinGoldman Sachs CEO David Solomon is facing new scrutiny from congressional Democrats over his reported effort to retain the bank's top lawyer months after she said she would resign over revelations about her ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey EpsteinIn a letter sent Wednesday:U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs CommitteeRepresentative Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services on the House Oversight Committee“Ruemmler ‘educated (Epstein) on how the law differentiates between underage victims of sex crimes and adult prostitutes…'”In February, Ruemmler announced her resignation from Goldman Sachs, effective June 30, 2026: “At the time, you stated that you “reluctantly” accepted Ruemmler's resignation.

Tired vs. Wired: $4 Trillion in IPOs Coming, $100B in M&A, and Why the SaaSpocalypse is Over The public markets spent the last twelve months telling you B2B software was finished. Stocks down 60 to 70 percent. PE firms buying nobody. For the first time in history, software trading at a discount to the S&P 500. And at the exact same moment, Anthropic is projecting $50 billion in revenue, Cursor is getting acquired for $60 billion, and SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Databricks are about to generate more market value than every other IPO since 2000 combined. Both things are true - and which one defines your next 18 months depends entirely on one question: are you tired or are you wired? In this episode, SaaStr CEO and Founder Jason Lemkin calls the market as he sees it, names who is winning and who is pretending, and makes the case that the Cambrian explosion in B2B is just getting started. You'll learn: Why the SaaSpocalypse was never about B2B dying - it was about pre-AI software dying - and what the Palantir, Twilio, and Atlassian re-acceleration stories actually tell you The four categories every B2B company falls into right now, and why category four founders need to stop pretending the recovery is coming on its own Why vibe coding your CRM is dead as a concept, and what "putting deals on your calendar" actually means as a product strategy Why your biggest near-term competitive edge might be two days of engineering work - making your API agent-friendly before your competitors do What SaaStr's own journey from 20 humans to 3 humans and 21 agents teaches you about consistency as the only real cheat code in agents This is for you if: Your growth has slowed and you are not sure whether it is a market problem or a you problem - this session will help you figure out which You are a founder or exec who has been in the "AI is coming" conversation for a year but has not yet seen it show up in your revenue You want the unfiltered version of where B2B is headed in the next 18 months, including the parts most people are too polite to say out loud

Back in 2014, Google Glass made the dream of smart glasses a reality for the tech-obsessed. But a hefty price tag and divisive design prevented Google from bringing its vision to the masses. A decade later, Meta seemingly cracked the code, offering affordable, fashion-forward smart specs in frames by established brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley. WIRED senior gear editor Julian Chokkattu and staff writer Boone Ashworth join David to discuss whether Google's new Android XR platform, which the company debuted in May, can give Meta a run for its money. They'll also discuss some of the thorny ethical issues surrounding AI-powered frames and where the industry is headed next.

Seventeen million views. People with real bills, real health problems, real crises in their own families stopped what they were doing to be outraged about a YouTuber they've never met. Not because Jesse Ridgway's story is more important than their own lives. Because their brains are built to respond to outrage faster than reason. Research shows moral outrage triggers dopamine — the same reward pathway that makes drugs addictive. The platforms know it. The algorithms amplify it. And Jesse Ridgway has spent twenty years learning how to trigger it.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines what's actually happening in someone's brain when they choose a stranger's drama over their own real life, why the not-knowing — is it real or fake? — makes the content stickier than scripted fiction, and what daily consumption of rage bait, staged crises, and performed lives is doing to the developing brains of the teenagers watching it. If you've ever wondered why you can't scroll past Jesse Ridgway even when you know you're being played, this is why.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Do you feel exhausted but can't seem to wind down? That wired-but-tired feeling so many women experience in midlife has a name, and a cause most doctors never address. In this episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, Marnie and Stephanie are joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine physician and expert in health optimization, to explore the connection between chronic stress, hormone changes, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Dr. Scott introduces the concept of the "sympathetic spiral of doom" — the cycle of stress, poor sleep, and cellular energy breakdown that keeps so many women stuck, and shares practical, science-backed ways to break it. The conversation covers methylene blue (what it is, how it works, and who should use it), GABA and nervous system support, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Dr. Scott also explains why only 6% of US adults have optimally functioning mitochondria, and what the other 94% can do about it. Key Takeaways: Chronic stress and hormone fluctuations directly impair mitochondrial function Estrogen is a critical mitochondrial optimizer, losing it in perimenopause has real cellular consequences Only 6% of US adults are metabolically healthy; symptoms of the rest range from brain fog to poor sleep to slow recovery Methylene blue supports mitochondrial energy production and works as a bridge while you optimize your health more broadly If a GABA supplement works for you, that's a warning sign worth paying attention to Down-regulating the nervous system too fast, without mitochondrial support, can cause a crash Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is most effective once you have a foundational health plan in place Sleep is one of the most powerful levers for mitochondrial health 00:00 – Introduction and Dr. Scott's background 04:13 – Why midlife women's bodies stop responding the way they used to 07:32 – Progesterone, GABA, and sleep disruption 09:04 – What mitochondria actually do and why they matter 13:16 – The 6% metabolic health statistic 17:00 – The sympathetic spiral of doom, explained 21:01 – Cortisol: misunderstood and mismanaged 29:32 – What methylene blue is and how to use it 33:55 – Who should not take methylene blue 38:33 – Performance, travel, and targeted use 47:17 – GABA support and down-regulating the nervous system 55:18 – Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: benefits, timing, and protocols 01:00:52 – One action to take today 01:03:09 – Where to find Dr. Scott and his products Guest Links: Dr. Scott Sherr: drscottsherr.com Troscriptions: troscriptions.com Use code LIVINGWELL for 10% off Products mentioned: Just Blue, Blue Cannatine, Tro Calm, Tro Zzz This episode is brought to you by Good Health Saunas.

There's a game Cava Menzies plays with her students. She asks each of them to say a word — snowfall, nightmare, dragons — and then she translates it into music on the piano right in front of them. Every time, something magical happens in the room. In the tenth and final episode of our Wired to Create series, Cava — musician, educator, and founding faculty at Oakland School for the Arts — makes the case that music isn't a talent reserved for the few. It's a birthright we've somehow talked ourselves out of using. Please share this episode with anyone in your life who has decided music isn't for them.

EPISODE SUMMARY What happens when outward success hides inner burnout? In this powerful conversation with entrepreneur, resilience coach, and author Tracy Doyle, we explore the hidden cost of high performance, the emotional toll of ambition, and why so many successful people feel disconnected despite achieving everything they thought would make them happy. Tracy shares her journey from childhood trauma and instability to becoming an award-winning CEO, then hitting a breaking point that forced her to confront burnout, relationship strain, and unresolved emotional patterns. We dive into the psychology of success, trauma-driven ambition, perfectionism, emotional wellness, and how to rebuild a life rooted in peace instead of pressure. We discuss Tracy's book Life Storms: Finding Your Clear Sky and the practical tools behind her Aurora Method—a framework designed to help high achievers break destructive patterns, heal burnout, and reconnect with themselves and the people they love. If you're interested in burnout recovery, mental health, emotional resilience, trauma healing, entrepreneurship, self-development, women's leadership, relationships, or peak performance, this episode is packed with insight.   WE TALKED ABOUT … The connection between burnout, trauma, and identity … Why success can become an addiction that never truly satisfies … The version of yourself that may need to die for healing to begin   EPISODE NOTES Tracy Doyle is an entrepreneur, author of Life Storms: Finding Your Clear Sky, and emotional wellness advocate whose work sits at the intersection of business achievement and personal transformation. Her journey — from a childhood shaped by trauma and instability, to award-winning CEO, to resilience coach — is living proof that our deepest wounds can become our greatest purpose. The first in her family to graduate college, Tracy earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and counseling before building a standout career in the pharmaceutical industry. She founded and led a multimillion-dollar medical communications company — earning the regional Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and recognition from Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Inc. — before answering a different call. Behind the accolades was a truth she couldn't ignore: the cost of high performance. Emotional burnout and disconnection had quietly eroded her relationships and personal fulfillment. That breaking point became the catalyst for everything that followed — including the Aurora Method, a psychology-informed, mindfulness-based framework that helps people understand what drives their relationship conflicts and emotional burnout, break the patterns keeping them stuck, and restore connection with themselves and the people who matter most.   Links: www.tracydoyle.life Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569971194280 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracydoyle.life/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-doyle-aurora-co/   Get the book: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/AUDIBLE/dp/B0G542Z245   ------------ Click this link to listen on your favorite podcast player and if you enjoy the show, please leave a rating & review: https://linktr.ee/wiredforsuccess ------------------ Music credit: Vittoro by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue) ----------------- Disclaimer: Podcast Episodes might contain sponsored content.

I don't tend to use the word "periodizing" for the project of This Is Your Afterlife, but when I ask my guests, "What's your coma?," I'm absolutely "categorizing the past into discrete, quantified, and named blocks of time for the purpose of study or analysis" (thanks, Wikipedia). Periodization is the explicit project of The Return of the 90s: A Cultural History of the Present, a new book edited by Sean O'Brien and TIYA friend Madeline Lane-McKinley. In another two-episode week, I'm talking to them about this cultural criticism project and personalizing it. What world did the 90s leave us with? What do we make of the decade's resurgence? And what does it mean if the world we remember never existed in the first place?First up is Sean's solo episode, in which I roll out the purple carpet to give him the same TIYA treatment Madeline got with her solo episode. Then on Friday, I talk to them both in a more free-form conversation about the book, so stay tuned!We talk: an intro to Marxism, the need for sleep, WIRED magazine, afterlife as anti-work utopia, prostrating at the altar of academia, lessons he learned from watching his mother die with grace.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeThe Return of the 90s: A Cultural History of the Present:https://www.plutobooks.com/product/the-return-of-the-90s/Follow Sean and find out about book events:https://twitter.com/sean_obeehttps://www.instagram.com/sean_ob/Listen to Sean on Genre Reveal Party!, my movie podcast with Madeline:https://pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vZ2VucmUtcmV2ZWFsLXBhcnR5Lw/episode/N2VkOTY1M2ItOTgwMy00OWQwLWIyZmQtYzdlNDA2M2QyYTlmFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

What if a high school student could spend their day fixing a plane, machining a part destined for a rocket launch, or building a house that a family will actually live in? At the Cherry Creek Innovation Campus (CCIC) in the Denver metro area, that's just a Tuesday. In the ninth episode of our Wired to Create series, Principal Steve Day makes the case that when you stop underestimating teenagers and give them something real to do, everything changes — for the students, for the school, and for the families whose lives are transformed as a result.

A mom makes breakfast in her kitchen, an American flag behind her, and tells you how AI helps her stay organized and why it matters that we keep building it here in the US. It feels like a real person sharing a real opinion. It isn't. She was paid up to $5,000 to read a script — and she was told specifically not to reveal who was funding it. Once you know that, you can't watch your feed the same way again. In this episode, I pull apart a campaign that Wired exposed: a $140 million super PAC and its dark-money arm, backed by some of the biggest names in AI, quietly paying lifestyle influencers to make you afraid of China. But I'm not standing on the outside of this looking in. I use AI every single day, I love it, I built an entire challenge around it… and the same companies building the tools I rely on are running a fear campaign to keep me compliant. So I trace the machine all the way back to a Cold War lie most Americans have forgotten — and I hand you the one test I now run on my own marketing to make sure I never end up on the wrong side of that line. Key Highlights: ◼️The “Doom Loop” — how fear creates urgency, urgency creates permission, and permission creates money… and the $500B “Stargate” announcement the whole loop was built to justify ◼️The $140M “Leading the Future” super PAC and its dark-money arm paying influencers $5,000 a video to deliver scripted anti-China talking points — with explicit instructions never to disclose who's paying ◼️The forgotten 1957 “missile gap” — how defense contractors and a presidential campaign manufactured a Soviet threat the classified briefings proved never existed, running the exact same two-belief playbook ◼️”Manufactured inevitability” — the persuasion move of eliminating every option except the one that profits the seller (build faster… or the enemy wins) ◼️The “Disclosure Test” — the single question to run on your own urgency: if your audience knew exactly how and why you created it, would they still respect you? Here's what makes this so hard to see: the most dangerous propaganda always has a kernel of truth buried inside it, because the truth is what makes the lie invisible. China is real. AI is real. And the fear is being engineered by the exact same companies that win the contracts when you give in to it — all of it true at the same time. The machine runs on fear, and right now $140 million is being spent to keep you locked inside the loop. So now that you can see it, the only question left is the one that actually matters: are you going to let it run you… or are you going to learn this technology well enough to build something of your own? ◼️AI SECRETS CHALLENGE: Most people are either afraid of AI or using it as a toy. Russell built a challenge that teaches you how to actually MAKE MONEY with AI — not just be productive, but build real income. The best defense against being manipulated by AI companies is understanding the technology well enough to profit from it yourself. → https://www.AISecretsChallenge.com ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?
