Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Breathe, Move, Lead: Daily Practice Strategies With Scott Simons
Q: What would be a good place to start for someone new to this?
Start with a simple, safe breathing exercise in a quiet space, with eyes closed, noticing the natural rhythm of the breath, and gradually add a few minutes of heart coherence or calm breathing to establish a foundation.
Practical Mental Health Tips For Teens And Parents With Dr. Mariela Podolski
Q: What tips can help students transition from high school to college without losing their wellness foundation?
She stresses individualized planning, maintaining regular meals and sleep, avoiding substances, and building routines that support sleep, nutrition, exercise, and meaningful social connections; she also notes the importance of seeking help early if struggles arise.
Practical Mental Health Tips For Teens And Parents With Dr. Mariela Podolski
Q: How should parents manage their children's phone use to minimize negative mental health impacts?
Her approach centers on delaying phone ownership, treating the device as the parent's property, creating a detailed contract with clear rules, and using negotiated limits to foster responsibility while preserving open communication.
Practical Mental Health Tips For Teens And Parents With Dr. Mariela Podolski
Q: What factors do you think contribute most to rising anxiety and depression among young adults today?
Dr. Podolski cites social media access and the instant gratification culture as major contributors, but also highlights how rapid shifts in expectations and a lack of tolerance for distress play critical roles; she emphasizes the need to acknowledge these factors while promoting healthier coping strategies.
Redefining Aging: No Cage, Just Vibrant Living With Esther Brzezinski
Q: How did you first come to embrace social media as a platform for aging positivity?
I started by posting about my own experiences and then studied how to grab attention in the first few seconds, learning from early rooms on Clubhouse and the creator ecosystem. The honesty of sharing real experiences rather than filtering everything is what connected with people.
