It’s a tale as old as time, and it’s true for almost every person on the planet: there are times when we’re just not feeling good about our bodies. But hopefully there are even more times when we are feeling great about them! This week, Hannah Hart talks with Dr. Hanne Blank about healing our relationships to our bodies and better understanding what forces shape our body image. Here’s to having a better time in our bodies and inventing a world where that’s easier for everyone to do.

Most of us are lucky enough to have our sense of smell intact in this post-Covid world, and we have our likes and dislikes when it comes to different scents. But maybe our interactions with scent can go deeper. In today's episode, Hannah Hart talks with Dr. Tracey Marks to learn more about her experience as a psychiatrist, as well as her expertise in the complementary field of aromatherapy. Come along to learn a bit about the way scent can affect our brains and how it plays a part in our mental health tool kit.

If you’re putting in the good work of your weekly therapy sessions and still hitting big bumps between them, maybe there’s room for a little more play in your life! Whether you’re working on being more present, building better relationships, boosting your mood, or another mental health goal, play exercises that snap you out of the routines that don’t serve you could be a good tool to have on hand. Today, Hannah Hart is joined by Dr. Clay Drinko, whose methods give us more insight into how opening ourselves to play can lower the stakes and bring us back down to earth. Let's play!

Firstly, we are 100% pro-science. Secondly, let’s have some fun. We’re examining seven pop psychology findings that were later debunked in more rigorous clinical trials. But how do we FEEL about each of them? And what can we learn about ourselves by examining those feelings? The Hannahs are on the case!

Alan Godshaw might be best described as a martial artist turned philosopher turned martial artist turned artist turned martial artist. Humble to a fault, his 38 years of training have earned him a Roku Dan Black Belt in Shotokan Karate and made him a world class sensei, but he’s currently more excited about his Blue Belt in Brazilian Jujitsu. Enjoy as he and Hannah Hart explore the upsides and downsides of martial arts—and the cultures that surround them.
