Podcasts about Wishing

After decades of balancing demanding government work, family life, and responsibilities, Raine Bee finally gave herself permission to chase the dream she'd carried since childhood: becoming a children's fantasy author. On this episode of Marketer of the Day, Raine shares the story behind The Wishing Family in Quest for Magic, a heart‑warming adventure about a family of genies who face danger together, support each other unconditionally, and prove that real magic is found in unity, love, and courage. https://youtu.be/rPPGB_-0Jh4 Raine reveals how classic tales like Sinbad, Aladdin, and Arabian Nights, her experiences with vibrant Asian weddings, and her love of colorful English landscapes inspired the book's world. She explains how each member of the genie family has unique powers except Max, a changeling who must fight to reclaim his magic and save his family, and how those struggles mirror real‑life challenges kids face with emotions, communication, and belonging. She also opens up about retiring during lockdown, emailing her resignation from a sunny field, and turning that moment of freedom into the focus and confidence she needed to finish her book, write a sequel, and finally let her inner child lead the way. Quotes: “Age is just a number; your real age is the courage of your heart and the curiosity of your inner child.” “Family isn't only blood; it's anyone who stands beside you in the dark and helps you find your way back to the light.” “Children don't just need magic on the page; they need the magic of knowing they can say ‘please help' and be heard.” Resources: The Wishing Family in Quest for Magic on Amazon Raine Bee Books

Seems like setting an intention to be kind and to not cause harm would be a simple thing. But then look at the world, and all of the devastating consequences that happen even when the responsible person claims their intentions were good. What if we paid attention to intention at the beginning, middle, and end? Meaning, before we spoke or acted, while that was happening, and later? And if we discovered that we'd caused harm, what if we apologized and made amends? It might not be easy (at least for me). But it's a formula for powerful change. And it sure feels like we could use some change right now.Happy Women's History Month. The theme this year is, Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future. I'm in if you are. Wishing you safety, wellbeing, peace, and change

In this episode I'm exploring the power of wishing - not as something whimsical or passive, but as a practice deeply grounded in science, intention, and the human voice. I'm joined by Brownell Landrum, the creator of the global movement The Cosmic Wish Experiment. We unpack the difference between a wish, a prayer, and a goal, and why a wish sits beautifully in the middle: part intention, part surrender. We talk about why wishing for something (rather than against something) matters, how collective wish circles amplify energy, and why so much of what we label “woo-woo” is now being explained by science. We dive deep into the role of the voice — why speaking a wish out loud helps bring the body, mind, and nervous system into alignment, and how being witnessed can strengthen (or sometimes sabotage) a wish. If you've ever wished to feel more confident speaking, to trust your voice, or to use it in service of something bigger than you, this conversation is for you. Settle in... and maybe even make a wish of your own. Connect with Brownell on LinkedIn and explore the Cosmic Wish Experiment here - https://cosmicwishexperiment.com/

Episode 7: Simcha in Real Life SHOW NOTES Adar is the month of simcha. Chazal teach us that when Adar begins, we increase in joy. There is even a mitzvah to be happy. But real life is complicated. The news brings uncertainty and worry. Some people enter Purim feeling full and surrounded. Others feel alone. Some are still waiting for the family they hoped to build. Others are navigating children who are struggling or absent. Even in busy homes, things are not always simple. So what does the Torah really mean by simcha? In this episode, Rabbi Shurin explores: • A working definition of simcha, what it is and what it isn't • How simcha can be cultivated in a busy, demanding home, and when life feels tough • One primary theme to focus on during Purim, regardless of your circumstances If you would like to submit a question for a future episode, email questions@darchenoam.org.

In this episode, I encourage clarity, as our news is flooded with information about released files. I address concerns about the normalization of abuse through language, emphasizing the importance of correct terminology to protect victims and prevent further harm. I also discuss the role our biases play and offer tools for awareness and advocacy.Chapters00:00 Language & The Blurring of Lines in Abuse02:50 Desensitization & Normalization 04:18 Understanding Consent and Age of Consent (Legal Perspective)11:21 The Role of Bias in Language15:20 Call to Clarity and ResponsibilityWords matter. The language we hear seeps into our unconscious and has the ability to make what is horrific palatable. It has the ability to take something as horrible as child sexual abuse and human trafficking and gradually start to make it seem almost normal.Listen carefully and you will hear this shift in the public discourse around the release of millions of documents about many of our world's wealthiest and most powerful people abusing children and adults. You will hear a blurring of the lines - of what it means to be a child and what it means to be abused, assaulted, and trafficked. You will also hear a clouding of the distinction of who is responsible when abuse occurs.I'm concerned that the coverage — the amount and the language used (even by the well-intended) — is normalizing what we can't normalize. This blurring of lines only emboldens perpetrators who are out there right now. It puts more children and adults at risk. It prevents more victims from reporting abuse and it further harms anyone who has been abused.This episode is my attempt to counter that normalization, encourage clarity, and provide tools to help you recognize the types of words and phrases that blur important lines.EliteWe obviously live in a society that idealizes those with money, power, and celebrity. We project our innate gifts and greatness onto a few. We turn over our inner authority. We even project our inner wisdom onto bedazzling marketers posing as wellness and spiritual gurus.Those with the most depraved behaviors in our culture have our fascination, while humble, service-driven leaders are largely ignored. Should we be surprised that a group of sociopathic “elites” are leading many of our institutions?Our collective idol worship has helped elevate, support, and protect those who've harmed not only their victims, but all of us who rely on their institutions.Will these recent discoveries help us change course? How our society handles this open abscess will either lead to greater clarity and healing - or it will manage to infect us further.DesensitizationInevitably, this story, with all of its far-reaching implications, will be in the news for a very long time. The more we hear something, the less shocking it becomes.The amount of media content on this topic (even if in the direction of needed justice) is already leading to a collective desensitization. We are losing sight of the severe harm caused to the victims and survivors. (I include “victims,” because not everyone survived.)NormalizationA thoughtful popular podcaster who identifies as someone who wants justice for the survivors and accountability for the perpetrators said: “He may have had a sexual relationship with an underaged woman.” This podcaster is just one of many using this type of language. Even Steven Inskeep, a seasoned journalist with NPR, described the victims in the sex-trafficking case as “underage women.” After a number of listeners spoke out, NPR did an autopsy of sorts to understand how (in the line of editors and checks), this ended up being read on air. NPR made a public apology, explained how this ended up being read on air and what they were doing to prevent it from happening again.Many journalists recognize a need to understand and use appropriate language. But, most in independent media, who are actually investigating and discussing the files, aren't trained journalists and many are unintentionally contributing to the normalization of abuse.To say, “He may have had a sexual relationship with an underaged woman” blurs more than one lineFirst, adults and children do not have sexual relationships. Adults sexually abuse children. It is increasingly important to have clarity on this singular point and to have words that reflect this clarity.Saying “he had a sexual relationship with…,” implies that the child was able to consent.● Children are unable to consent as indicated by the law.○ Consent = voluntarily, actively, and knowingly agree to or grant permission for a specific act, proposed by another. There is more to the legal definition, which I'll get to for adults, but here, that doesn't matter, because, again, children are unable to consent.○ There is a significant power imbalance between children and adults○ When a child is abused, they are being harmed in that moment and will have enduring impacts from the abuse (emotional, psychological and physical).Along these lines “child prostitute,” and “child porn”, suggest consent. Saying instead that a perpetrator sexually abused, exploited and trafficked a child and saying sexual abuse materials recognizes that children are unable to consent.Second, “underage woman” is an oxymoronI can only imagine this term is being used to describe a physically mature teen. It's as if an adult is saying, “She looks like a woman to me.” It doesn't matter how physically mature a child looks, they are still a child. A child can not consent regardless of their physical appearance.But what about the phrase, “underage girl”?An “underage” girl is a girlThere is no reason to add the word “underage,” here. Children are children. If underage is being added, it is blurring that fact. Child, girl, boy, or minor are the terms to use.If we hear “underage woman,” or “underage girl,” over and over again, before we know it, we may be saying it without even thinking.What could the podcaster have said instead?“He may have sexually abused (or sexually assaulted) a child,”Age of ConsentIf children can't consent, you might be wondering about situations, such as a sexual relationship between a 17-year-old girl and an 18 year old teenage boy.Age of Consent = the age at which anyone can consent to anyone older.Depending on the state (here in the United States), the legal age of consent is anywhere from 16-18. But, even for states in which the age of consent is 16 or 17, there are laws that specify how much older the “older” person can be to whom the 16 or 17-year-old is consenting.The information coming out of the files is about perpetrators who were clearly well beyond 18 and early adulthood. In fact, they were old enough to have achieved prominence in their respective fields.What about the women who were of “the age of consent”? Here's where I'll share with you the complete legal definition of consent. (Since children are unable to consent, I didn't share the qualifiers yet).Consent means to voluntarily, willfully, and knowingly agree to, approve, or yield to a proposition or action proposed by another. Consent is given by a person with legal capacity without coercion, fraud, or duress. It requires active permission rather than passive submission or absence of resistance.So when Megan Kelly, an attorney/media personality, describes many of the victims as “barely legal” (as opposed to teenagers who were unable to consent to much older adults or young women who were coerced), the law would say, this is not legal and is abuse - a crime.From Normalizing to CelebrationAnother podcaster/journalist/academic who is seemingly on the side of the victims and survivors completed what seemed to be an appropriate and serious podcast by inviting his audience to share in the comments if they found anything “spicey” in the files. He smiled as he said this.Spicey = exciting or entertaining, especially through being sexually suggestive or involving conflict.“Spicey,” goes well beyond normalization to tantalizing. I don't think this is something he intended to communicate and I don't think he is unusual in this regard. You could say his listeners got a glimpse in the window - of feelings as he read the files.Our Words Are a Window Into Our Biases…and there are some windows, we may not want people looking in. We all have biases. It is simply part of human nature, part of the associations our neuronal connections have made. Our biases are influenced by our families, childhood experiences, our culture and what media content we consume. Our biases in this case, are also influenced by whether we have children or not and their ages and gender. I had to wonder, for example, if an adult who has a daughter would be as likely to say, “underage woman or underage girl,” than an adult who doesn't.Those who deny they have biases are more susceptible to their problematic impacts. We can all be more aware of how our own biases show up. The language we use is just one of the ways. Collectively, we can ask ourself, how do we consciously or unconsciously think about● children? Are they separate beings with their own potential and their own lives who are in their most critical developmental stage or are they less than adults and not worthy of the same respect and care? (This can also be a window into how worthy we were made to feel as children)● young women? Do we think of them differently than young men? Are we more okay with blurring the line between girls and women than between boys and men? How often would someone say “underage man,” or “underage boy” when it comes to sexual assault?● consent? Do we say she was “involved with” or use words like “prostitute” or “escort” when all evidence points to the person being trafficked?● abuse? Do we use language to describe the victim , such as “she was in a relationship with,” or do we use language to describe the actions of the abuser, he “assaulted”, “raped,” “coerced,” “exploited,” or “trafficked” her or him?● human trafficking? Do we even think about it? Do we even realize that, after drug trafficking, human trafficking is the second-largest criminal enterprise in the world? But for my medical license requiring me to stay informed about trafficking and how to recognize it, I may not be aware.A Call to Clarity & Responsibility While language can further diminish our humanity and recognition of human suffering, it also has the ability to elevate compassion and bring clarity to what matters most in a given situation, in this case the sanctity of childhood, the suffering of others and finding ways to prevent it.Though I rarely comment much on social media sites, I have felt a need, in this case, to do my small part to help bring clarity. When I notice language that normalizes abuse, I kindly point it out and offer an alternative, hoping maybe the person will even pay it forward.We all have the opportunity to notice when people unintentionally use language that blurs the line between children and adults, or suggests that victims are responsible. We don't have to let our silence suggest agreement. We don't have to go along or let it stand. We can all do our part to counter the eroding psychological, emotional and moral guardrails that prevent abuse from happening.We can also thank those who haven't lost sight of what is at stake. I noticed one young podcaster/attorney used words that convey the gravity and horrific nature of what he had been reading in the files. He appeared depleted and even sick, because he was. He hadn't lost sight of what the files are about - the systematic abuse of children and women by the very people our society chose to elevate to power. Nor had he lost sight of his responsibility to the survivors, to his listeners, to our humanity and to the truth.Wishing all of us the ability to maintain clarity in these challenging times.CourtneyAs always, I welcome your insights and observations.

主播：Flora（中国）+ Erin（美国） 音乐：恭喜发财Happy Chinese new year! 大家过年好！今天我们就来聊一聊那些地道、常用的新年祝福语，不仅仅是翻译，更包含着语言背后的文化趣味。01. “恭喜发财”英语该咋说？一段“Merry Fa Cai, Gong Xi Christmas”的视频在社交平台刷屏，“圣诞快乐”混搭“恭喜发财”，感觉怪怪的（weird），但是又很好玩（funny）。A little Christmas, a little CNY (Chinese new year), and a whole lot of festive cheer (满满的节日欢乐)!其实我们过年的时候挺常用“恭喜发财”这样的祝福语和memes（表情包）的。When you go to the supermarket, you'll hear “Gong Xi Ni Fa Cai” (刘德华的《恭喜发财》) playing everywhere.��“恭喜发财”英文是怎么翻译的呢？直译（literal translation）是“May you get rich.”——“祝你变富”！听起来很豪爽，但是英文听起来有些奇怪（sounds a little strange in English）。 我们可以说：Wishing you happiness and prosperity!Prosperity：繁荣/兴旺主播Erin表示：在实际生活中，when sending others new year wishes，很少会把祝福说得这么具体（specific）。像“恭喜发财”、“万事胜意”这样的祝福语是很有中国特色的（very Chinese）。02. 地道英文版新年祝福当我们想要给外国朋友送上来自中国的新年祝福，或者你的外国朋友想要体验一下中国过年的氛围，我们就可以用到下面地道的英文祝福语表达：（1）新年快乐 Happy New Year！（2）身体健康Wishing you good health.（3）万事胜意：希望所有的事情都能比自己所希望的还要好Wishing you all the best. 希望你一切都好。May everything go your way. 所有事情都顺心如意。（4）心想事成：心里想的都能实现May all your wishes come true. 祝你所有的愿望都能实现。（5）阖家欢乐：祝你家庭欢乐，其乐融融Wishing you and your family happiness.（6）年年有余Wishing you abundance year after year. 希望你每年都很富裕。May you have surplus and prosperity every year. 愿你年年都有盈余，生活富足。��为什么中国年要挂鱼？Because in Chinese, the word for “fish (鱼)” sounds the same as the word for “surplus (剩余/盈余的余)”. 当你每年挂鱼的壁画在墙上的时候，就象征着“年年有余”。这些福语都是以“wish or may”开头的。In English, “wish and may” are how you say I hope or I wish for you. They're perfect for holiday blessings (节日标配).03. 西方人怎么说“新年快乐”?（1）“Happy New Year”是主播Erin的go to（首选）。（2）All the best for the new year. 祝你新年一切都好。（3）Wishing you a great year ahead.祝你来年一切顺利。（4）Cheers to the new year!为新年干杯！（5）Here's to 2026!为2026举杯！中国的新年祝福往往离不开prosperity (繁荣) and good fortune (好运)，而西方的祝福则更多围绕happiness and new beginnings (新的开始)。Different cultures, but the same idea - everyone just wants a good year.不同的祝福语都有共同的愿望，那就是下一年一切都好。Happy New Year! Wishing you good health, Wishing you all the best, and may all your wishes come true! 新年快乐！祝你身体健康、万事胜意、心想事成！欢迎大家在评论区分享：What kind of New Year wishes do you usually share with family and friends?你过年一般会和家人、朋友说什么样的祝福语呢？

Ever wish your inner critic would finally give you a break? Sean Fargo closes our seven-day journey by teaching a simple, reliable practice that replaces self-attack with grounded compassion. We start where warmth is easiest—thinking of someone or an animal that naturally opens the heart—then repeat four steady phrases: may you be safe, may you be healthy, may you be happy, may you live with ease. From that genuine warmth, we turn the same phrases inward and, yes, even toward the inner critic itself.Across this guided session, we explore why loving-kindness is more than feel-good language; it's a trainable response that reshapes the brain and nervous system. By pairing intention with repetition, the practice becomes a habit you can call on the next time you make a mistake, fall short of a goal, or feel the urge to spiral. Sean offers practical cues—eyes open or closed, breath linked to phrases, starting with an easy person—to make the ritual stick without forcing emotion. You'll learn how wishing safety and ease disarms shame, how happiness loosens perfectionism, and how ease keeps problem-solving clear and creative.We also step into the advanced edge: extending goodwill to the parts we resist—the inner critic and even people we dislike. This move isn't about excusing harm; it's about reducing inner conflict so you can set boundaries without carrying the weight of resentment. Listeners often report less rumination, faster repair after missteps, and a gentler, more courageous approach to growth.

What if the biggest obstacle to spiritual growth isn't doubt — but laziness? Most people stop at belief and desire, but what does it actually look like to move beyond wishing into real, daily commitment? Could the way you sleep, eat, and spend your time be quietly disqualifying you from the very purpose you were created for? The connection between physical discipline and spiritual maturity might be more critical than you think. So the real question is — are you still just desiring, or are you finally ready to follow? Recorded Sunday, February 1st, 2026

Wishing you a Happy Galentine's Day season, this episode is dedicated to a thorough look at the concept of feminist love with Esmée Streachailt and Jocelyn Crawley. First up, hear Thistle deliver the podcast greeting before the world news segment with Cat Bradfield featuring stories from the Gambia, Chile, Indonesia and the United States. Next, take a listen to the interview Jocelyn did with Ms. Esmée Streachailt of MedusaRising.org, a wonderful radical feminist organization that engages and inspires young women to join the movement. Esmée and Jocelyn explore patriarchal concepts of love in order to highlight the need for a radical feminist love that uproots and heals. Finally, take a deep dive into the concept of feminist love with Jocelyn's commentary she leaves us with after the interview. Stay tuned 'til the very end for Margaret's explanation of this month's cover art reprinted below. From WLRN's resident graphic designer, Margaret: "I started with the idea of light representing love. Light flowing out of our selves - connecting us. I found a photo of our sun I had captured which showed rays radiating out. I reused some silhouettes I had created for earlier editions, and arranged them to show women in a circle around the source of light, and love, holding hands. For the background I added a NASA image of stars that I altered with colors. Stars across the universe, like our sun, some with the potential for light and love. But it is our earth, and each other which constellates our reality. It is our sun which is the source of light that allows us to live, and to love. It is our selves which bring light and love to each other. Blessed be!"

In an unassuming dirt patch in Tucson's Barrio Viejo sits a shrine that is said to grant wishes. But this altar is not like most. It sits at the site of a brutal murder that happened when a love affair went wrong in 1800s Tucson and is said to be the only true shine to a sinner. This week on Valley 101, a podcast by the Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, you'll hear the true crime story that lead to a symbol of history and hope for the Mexican-American community in west Tucson. ⁠Submit your question⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ about Phoenix!

Victoria Johnson speaks with Brownell Landrum, author of The Art and Science of Wishing, about how wishing bridges metaphysical wisdom and scientific research. Brownell explains her concept of “cosmic wishing,” the science behind how wishes engage mind, body, and behaviour, and her simple Three P's framework: being peaceful, positive, and purposeful. Together they explore repetition, action, wish circles, and collective intention, along with how to engage even sceptics by blending evidence with curiosity and play. Learn more about Brownwell Landrum.Check out her Cosmic Wish ExperimentLearn More about Host Victoria Johnson and Heal Your Life Coach and Workshop Training. 

Today I'm joined by Brownell Landrum, author of The Art and Science of Wishing and founder of The Cosmic Wish Experiment. We explore how wishing engages over a dozen different sciences - from neuroscience to quantum physics - and discover the difference between ego goals and cosmic wishes that come FROM the universe, not from our conditioned mind.About Brownell Landrum:Brownell Landrum is the author of The Art and Science of Wishing and founder of The Cosmic Wish Experiment, a global grassroots effort to elevate collective conscious energy through a simple, fun, and free process based on solid science.Her research reveals that wishing is a universal practice woven throughout every culture and faith tradition—one of humanity's most powerful expressions of hope, intention, and survival. As a storyteller, she quotes over 70 scientists, bridging the spiritual and the scientific.Key Insights from Our Conversation:Cosmic Wishes vs. Ego GoalsMost goals come from our ego/conditioned self—we think we need X to be happyCosmic wishes come TO us when we're not looking—from the quantum field of unlimited possibilitiesAccess them through curiosity and questions, not forcing: "What is actually aligned for me?"The Power of Responding to LifeWe're here to respond to life - to feel in our body what feels right and wrong. This takes courage because it leads us into the unknown. Most people stay in "false security" instead.Want vs. NeedOur "wants" come from ego. Our "needs" come from our body, our soul, our inner knowing. Distinguishing between them helps us access what's truly aligned.The Body IS the SubconsciousBrownell's biggest wisdom: Name your body and communicate with it as a separate identity. Instead of forcing, make it a game: "If we finish by noon, we can have the afternoon off." The body will rally to help you.Elevating Collective ConsciousnessIt only takes 5% of humanity to create a ripple effect. If people spend just one minute a day being peaceful, positive, and purposeful, it patterns the brain to do it more.Favorite Quotes:

Sponsored by Shimon Bernholtz:לעילוי נשמת ר׳ שלום חיים בן נחום Dear Rabbi Orlofsky, Thank you for the tremendous chizuk your shiurim give to me and my family. They say, “Those who understand, teach.” And you teach in a way that helps us understand not just the Torah, but how to live it with simcha. The way you blend Torah, avodas hamiddos, and stories of Gedolim, along with that contagious laughter, is pure gold. And yes... I even use your jokes, beshem omro, though the delivery is definitely better on your side of the microphone. Wishing you continued hatzlacha, much nachas, and many more years of spreading Torah, chizuk, and joy around the world. Shkoyach!.

Mark Kendall is an original member of Great WHite, and soon you'll be able to learn much more about him. His autobiography is in the works and is set for a spring release if all goes well. Mark talks about that, remembering things he'd long forgotten, writing about his friend Jack Russell, and lots more. We started off the conversation with a health update. Mark is fighting kidney cancer and is winning! We're pulling for him and know he's got this!We also discuss new music that the band is working on. He says they have about 7 songs laid down on tape. There's no deadline on that, but it's great to hear they're working on stuff. Amanda Lyberg is the lead singer of the Detroit band Eva Under Fire. Maybe you haven't heard of them, maybe you have. Chances are, you'll be hearing more about them in 2026 as they get set to tour with Five Finger Death Punch! We also discuss their new album, which is set to drop this year. They've switched management camps, and the Detroit grind is back. Wishing the best to the EUF guys as it looks like 2026 is going to rock!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know what they say, fall down seven times, pursue a class action lawsuit against the establishment. Just kidding but not really (see sources linked below) this week we're learning about the neuroscience, psychology, and *personal* philosophy of rejection to manufacture some good ol' fashion luck.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1873Lewis gets brutally honest about the gap between knowing and doing. He shares how writing down his first book goal with specific daily word counts forced him to stop waiting for inspiration and just show up. The breakthrough wasn't complicated. He gave himself a deadline, created measurable actions, and built confidence through imperfect daily progress. You might be saying you've heard this advice before, but have you consistently implemented it? That's why another year flies by and you're left with wishes instead of wins. The brutal truth? Vague goals like "get healthy" or "make more money" keep you stuck in your head. But when you write "work out four days a week" or "increase income by 20% in six months," you're forced to ask how you'll actually make it happen.The most powerful part is Lewis's prescription for building confidence: do the thing that scares you every single day. If you're single, ask someone out daily. If you're broke, ask someone for money daily. Whatever makes you feel embarrassed or humiliated, that's your daily practice. Lewis reminds us that the biggest breakthroughs come from simple foundational principles we've forgotten to follow. Writing it down isn't magic, it's a trigger that moves your goal from your mind into the physical world where you can see it, measure it, and take action on it. The year is going to fly by regardless. The only question is whether you'll end it saying "I accomplished" or "I wish."Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Then, they turn to AI. How should Democrats respond when voters are anxious, states are being sidelined, and Congress can't seem to act? And finally, they revisit the moments of 2025 that gave them hope. We'll be back with a new Stay Tuned episode in the new year.

Portland refuses to call it a Christmas tree. A school board wages a civil war over “Christmas break” vs. “holiday break.” Now there's even a fruitcake packaging controversy.

This week, in a special holiday edition of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm revisiting a powerful conversation with Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a leading cardiologist and advocate for ethical, evidence-based medicine, where we unpacked the uncomfortable truths about cholesterol, statins, and what really drives heart disease. Wishing you a peaceful holiday week. We unpack: • Why LDL cholesterol isn't the whole story when it comes to heart disease • How reducing inflammation and insulin resistance can better protect your heart • What statins can—and can't—do to improve real cardiovascular outcomes • How industry influence shapes the prescriptions patients receive Better heart health starts with better information and real progress begins when we stop treating numbers and start treating what's actually causing disease. Hope you have a peaceful holiday week. I look forward to continuing this journey together in the new year.
