Do you ever feel like you’re behind on the life you’re trying to build, despite constantly being busy? I sat down with Oliver Burkeman, one of the most influential voices on productivity and purpose, to share tools to make more time for the things that genuinely matter so you can do more of what you love to create your dream life.

Oliver unpacks the psychology, sharing a radically different productivity approach: embracing your limitations, choosing what matters, and releasing the pressures holding you back.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• What boredom and discomfort actually signal
• How to work on your dreams when you only have 10–20 minutes
• A grounding question to decide what’s truly worth your time
• How to trust yourself even if you’ve “let yourself down” before
• A moment-to-moment practice for choosing what life is asking of you now
• Why your brain clings to the fantasy of a “sorted, future version” of yourself
• What procrastination is really about (and why it’s not laziness)
• A simple tool—the Reverse Golden Rule—for becoming kinder to yourself
• How parenting reshaped Oliver’s relationship to time and control
• Why daily-ish habits work better than perfect streaks

✨ Homework: Spend 10 minutes doing something you know you want more of in your life—writing, calling someone you love, being outside, reading, creating. Not planning it, not optimizing it. Doing it. This is how change starts.

If all you want to do by 3 PM is nap... this one’s for you. I share 5 powerful, science-backed hacks I personally use to feel more energized and clear-headed, fast. You won’t hear “get more sleep” or “cut sugar”. These are unique, practical tools you can use today.

I’ll walk you through everything from how your brain’s ultradian rhythm impacts focus and fatigue, to the truth about why most of us don’t get impactful rest during our breaks (and how to fix it). You’ll learn how to close mental loops draining your energy, why peppermint tea works better than a third cup of coffee, and how a simple dose of sunlight can recharge your battery, resetting your entire day.

🎧What you’ll learn:

• The 90-minute brain rhythm that boosts productivity and prevents burnout
• How to get the quickest re-charge during a break
• Why unfinished tasks drain your brain—and how to shut the loop
• My favorite natural energy drink
• The light hack I swear by to feel more awake, focused, and stable

✨Homework: Schedule in one, 10-minute break to step outside or look far into the distance, and take 2 minutes of this time to exhale longer than you inhale (no phone, no scrolling, no multitasking). Notice how you feel after.

Have you ever walked into someone’s home and instantly felt something—warmth, calm, personality, creativity—and wondered why your own space doesn’t give you that same amazing feeling? In this episode, I sit down with the world’s top interior designer Nate Berkus to unpack the psychology behind creating your dream home—a place you're so proud of you never want to leave. 

Nate breaks down practical tips to find your style, avoid trends, and insert more of you into your home, sharing that the real key to great design isn’t money or square footage—it’s your personal history. He also encourages you to shop local, lean into sustainability with vintage or thrifted finds, and enjoy the creative process of finding “that special piece you’ll have forever”.

Whether you're living in a bland rental or renovating a house, this episode gives you practical steps and advice you can use today to have a landing place that makes you feel incredible. 

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• Why “eclectic style” is often code for “I don’t know what I like”
• How to figure out who you are at home—and why that’s the start of great design
• The real reason your rental feels flat (and how to fix it with cheap vintage finds)
• Why trends exist (hint: they’re not for your benefit)
• The four principles Nate uses to create personal, elevated, collected spaces
• How to build confidence in your own taste—even if design intimidates you
• Why vintage pieces instantly add soul and character (and what should never be vintage)
• How to combine contrasting styles without creating chaos
• A simple assignment to instantly sharpen your design direction

✨ Homework: Find a photo of a room you genuinely love. Identify three things you love about the room and three things you don’t. Use the details you love as search terms to start uncovering your design language.

This is the life skill to end all life skills. Once you can do this, everything else becomes so much easier. This is something that top business people thrive at. This is something that people who do not get riled up by the news and all of the unprecedented times that we're living in have figured out. 

So what’s the skill? Getting comfortable with uncertainty.

The best part is it can be learned, practiced, and there’s science behind it too. Absolutely anybody can become more comfortable with uncertainty. In this episode, I'm going to teach you how. 

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• Why uncertainty tolerance is the #1 way to reduce anxiety
• How to calm your amygdala when it won’t shut off
• The “resilience list” I use to train my brain out of fear loops
• Neutral/best-case training that beats doom-spiraling
• Micro-steps and exposures that lower stress quickly

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, you're going to have much more energy because you're going to be less stressed. You're going to take more risks, which is going to result in far more success in your life—you're going to be unstoppable.

👉 Homework: Block out a 10-minute daily “worry window.” Set a timer, write your biggest worry, then list one neutral and one best-case scenario. Take one micro-action to move forward.

Don’t forget to follow or subscribe so you never miss a science-backed, practical tool that helps you feel better.

Hear the scientific proof of a connection to something larger than ourselves from the world’s leading expert on the psychology of spirituality, Dr. Lisa Miller. Whether you're a skeptic or have a deeply held belief in a higher power, you'll walk away with a lot to think about.

Dr. Lisa Miller, Columbia University professor and bestselling author of The Awakened Brain, shares that we’re all facing a spiritual crisis linked to our current mental health epidemic. She explains 20+ years of neuroscience research proving that all humans are born with innate brain circuitry for spiritual connection. Ignoring this part of ourselves can lead to feelings of being lost, depression, addiction, loneliness, and poor decision-making. But when we activate our "awakened brain," everything changes.

🎧 This episode is a must if you’ve ever:

• Felt emotionally disconnected despite doing “everything right”
• Wondered why traditional mental health tools sometimes aren’t enough
• Experienced grief, signs, or synchronicities you couldn’t explain
• Wanted a deeper, science-backed connection to your intuition or higher power

We explore how to rebuild your spiritual awareness without dogma or religion—using simple, brain-based tools anyone can try.

✨ Homework: Try Dr. Miller’s “council of guidance” practice from this episode. Close your eyes, set a question on your heart, and invite in your higher self, ancestors, or spiritual figures. Notice what comes through—and journal about it.

If you’ve been questioning your relationship, want to arm yourself with red flags to look out for in the future, or want tips to keep the spark alive—I made this episode for you.

I share the science behind how to know when it’s time to call it quits and when it’s worth working it through. Plus, I share some research-backed secrets for turning red flags into green ones.

This isn’t about judgment or pressure; it’s about clarity. I’ll share exactly what to look for when I’m evaluating a relationship: from whether a partner expands your sense of self (or shrinks it), to how your nervous system responds around them. I’ll dive into powerful research from top psychologists including the #1 predictor of divorce with 94% accuracy, and what it actually means when someone makes you feel like too much, or not enough.

🎧What you’ll learn:

• How to know if your partner is helping you grow—or holding you back
• What anxiety around your partner could really be telling you
• The “Bird Theory” and why small bids for connection matter so much
• What the 4 Horsemen are (and why they predict most divorces)
• How to use micro-vulnerability, daily rituals, and weekly check-ins to rebuild
• What to do if you’re scared to leave—or scared to stay

✨ Homework: Try a 10-minute check-in with your partner this week. Ask: “What’s one way you felt supported by me?” and let me know how it goes.

If you find yourself constantly craving sugary sweets and desserts—this episode is for you. There’s a reason this is happening (and it's not entirely your fault!) and there are ways to stop your cravings—in the moment and for the long term. 

I sit down with Dr. Nicole Avena, a neuroscientist and a Princeton and Mount Sinai professor, and one of the world’s leading researchers on sugar addiction, to uncover what sugar is really doing to your brain.

We dive deep into the biology of cravings and how the modern food environment is designed to keep you hooked. You’ll learn why “natural” sweeteners might not actually be the solution, and the small changes that work to reduce your sugar intake without going cold turkey.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how sugar impacts your mental and physical health—and the science-backed tools to curb your sweet tooth.

🎧What you’ll learn:

• Why sugar lights up the same brain pathways as addictive drugs
• How social media and screen time are increasing your cravings
• The science of dopamine tone—and how to reset it naturally
• How to spot hidden sugars in “healthy” foods and labels
• The step-by-step plan to reduce sugar without feeling deprived

👇Reflect or share: What’s one craving you experience regularly—and how do you think your environment is shaping it? Comment below—I’d love to hear your story!

✨Homework: Swap one sweet breakfast for a savory one this week, and try one tech-free morning. Then notice: How do your energy, focus, and cravings shift?

Whether it’s 3AM wakeups, spiraling thoughts, phobias, or that constant undercurrent of unease, anxiety can feel like it’s running your life. That’s why I recorded this solo episode—to share the real-life tools that help me cope, move forward, and feel like myself again.

I’m answering your most asked anxiety questions—about nighttime anxiety, fear of flying, OCD tendencies, and feeling stuck in therapy. I’ll share how I reframe my inner critic, what I say when I feel like a burden, and why I believe anxiety doesn’t make you broken.

This isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about supporting your nervous system, getting curious about your patterns, and finding tiny, doable shifts that will make life feel lighter.

🎧What You’ll Learn:

• The truth about 3AM anxiety and how to prevent middle-of-the-night spirals
• Why “just do exposure therapy” might be doing more harm than good
• How to support someone with anxiety without losing yourself in the process
• The real reason you might feel stuck in therapy—and how to get unstuck

I sit down with Dr. Jessica Knurick, a PhD in nutrition science and registered dietitian with over 15 years of experience in chronic disease prevention, to uncover why Americans are getting sicker. Spoiler: it’s not just about diet or exercise—it’s about the systems shaping our lives in ways we don’t even realize. 

We dive deep into how our food environment, healthcare structure, and political systems were built for profit, not people, and how that reality quietly shapes everything from what ends up in our grocery stores to who can afford preventive care. 

We also tackle the viral health debates taking over social media—like the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, raw milk, and claims about Tylenol and autism—using the latest scientific research to separate fact from fiction. 

You’ll leave feeling empowered to take action not just in your own kitchen but in your community. 

🎧 What you’ll learn: 

• Why chronic disease rates are skyrocketing—and how profit-driven systems are quietly fueling the epidemic 
• The surprising truths (and myths) behind viral health debates like raw milk, Tylenol, and the MAHA movement 
• How the U.S. food system prioritizes corporate profits over public health—and what that means for your grocery cart 
• What the MAHA movement gets right about wellness—and where it completely misses the mark 

👇 Reflect or share: What’s one health “truth” you’ve rethought after listening to this episode? I’d love to hear your take! 

✨ Homework: Pay attention to how your environment—what’s available, affordable, and marketed to you—shapes your health this week. Then ask yourself: If the system changed, how would your health change?
