  • Insights on how to practice a better life

    I have listened to Pulling The Thread for a few years now, and keep coming back to how authentic and accessible these conversations and solo episodes are. Elise is upfront about producing this herself and the challenges therein, and in the meantime offers up incredibly rich (deep) life topics and expert voices. In a sea of shows on wellness or mindfulness etc., this is my favorite. Anyone slightly attracted to it will be inclined to really commit for the full journey after one or two episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Solving Medical Mysteries—and the Diagnosis Crisis (Alexandra Sifferlin)
Q: How has AI changed the diagnostic landscape, and what are its limits?
AI provides powerful data synthesis and differential ideas, especially for rare cases, but it cannot replace the clinical intuition, physical examination, and contextual judgment that human doctors bring to patient care.
Solving Medical Mysteries—and the Diagnosis Crisis (Alexandra Sifferlin)
Q: What makes the Undiagnosed Diseases Network a compelling model for improving diagnostic outcomes?
It brings together experts from multiple disciplines, reviews the patient's entire history, and pursues a comprehensive, iterative testing plan to arrive at a diagnosis, all while prioritizing a humane patient experience.
Remembering How to Play—Even When We're All Grown-Up (Cas Holman)
Q: You talk about the 'adult voice' vs. the 'play voice.' How can someone start to listen to the play voice in situations like commuting, shopping, or social settings?
She suggests recognizing the inner critic, intentionally creating small opportunities for playful actions (like dancing in a grocery aisle or trying a new, low-stakes activity), and slowly expanding those moments into regular, low-pressure play that strengthens wellbeing.
Remembering How to Play—Even When We're All Grown-Up (Cas Holman)
Q: Well, thanks for joining me. How do you see play functioning as a daily practice for adults in a world that feels dark and chaotic?
Cas explains that playful inquiry and keeping creativity visible in everyday routines helps people stay connected, flexible, and resilient, turning distractions into meaningful engagement rather than escape.
The 3 Great Insights of Kabbalah (Daniel Matt, PhD)
Q: What is Ayin and why is it important in Kabbalah?
Ayin, or nothingness, represents the unknowable essence of God beyond being, a paradox that allows God to be infinitely transcendent. It anchors the mystics' negative theology and underpins the idea that creation emerges from divine no-thingness.
