  • Insightful Reframes

    I really found validation in the magic of caring episode with Elissa Strauss. The idea that community building and being in relationship with others is hard and we should go in with our eyes wide open and be prepared to do the work and to grow. Very timely for where I am at in life right now.

  • College Mental Health

    I really enjoyed and appreciated the episode about mental health in college. There were so many interesting insights into how understanding and accepting our thoughts and emotions can improve our lives. I hope students everywhere, and their teachers, can put these insights to good use.

  • Good, except

    Loved this but didn’t hear anything about addiction. What if someone is truly an addict, an alcoholic, and cannot stop?

  • As a along time listener of this podcast, some episodes just fall short. Episode 386 misses the mark with its host and co-host obvious left leaning feminist ideas.

    Just stay somewhere in the middle. We listeners want to hear about your findings, not political opinions.

    Lastly, stop with the affectation in your voice. Just be yourself.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

483. Why Doesn’t Anyone Understand Yael?
Q: What would you recommend for people who are struggling in a relationship with someone who does not agree with their point of view?
Schonbrun recommends complicating simple victim-and-villain narratives, separating people from their views, and creating a shared project aimed at understanding one another.
483. Why Doesn’t Anyone Understand Yael?
Q: What exactly is the difference between communication and understanding, and why is it important for us to focus more on the latter?
Communication consists of behaviors between people, while understanding involves the internal processes of receiving, decoding, and interpreting what was said. Clear words can still be misunderstood, so people also need to consider the listener's perception and meaning-making.
482. Full Circle with Ceri Samvilian
Q: What is your journaling process? What is your advice to people journaling?
Samvilian recommends making journaling a habit rather than using it only in moments of crisis. She uses it to process feelings, understand herself, document experiences and develop ideas, and says there are no fixed rules about how to journal.
482. Full Circle with Ceri Samvilian
Q: What was it like for you to move here, both in terms of the external world, but also what that did to you and your identity internally?
Samvilian says moving from Kenya to Austria meant leaving her family, friends and familiar surroundings while learning German and adapting to a new culture. She tried to fit expectations of a “good immigrant,” which led her to suppress her outgoing personality and question who she was in the new environment.
480. Original Sin with Kathryn Paige Harden
Q: Why does it matter in real life—like in legal or moral judgments—that we consider genetics and environment together rather than in a binary?
Because recognizing the complex interplay helps avoid overly punitive or overly sympathetic responses and supports more nuanced policies that balance accountability with compassion.
