Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Burnout Recovery isn't Bubble Baths- What Actually Works with Morgan Johnson
Q: What are the main components of burnout, and how do they show up?
The main components are emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a decreased sense of accomplishment; these manifest as fatigue from caring too much, reduced empathy, and feeling that one's work doesn't matter, respectively.
Burnout Recovery isn't Bubble Baths- What Actually Works with Morgan Johnson
Q: Can you share a memory of how reading has impacted you?
Morgan describes a childhood encounter with Nikki Giovanni's Allowables that moved her emotionally, inspired her to write, and shifted how she perceives and interacts with the world—an enduring influence that connects literature to personal growth and professional purpose.
Working through Divorce with Oona Metz
Q: Can you share a memory of how reading has impacted you?
Oona describes growing up in a house of readers, publishing a first book as a child, and how that early love of books shaped her approach to therapy and to writing Unhitched for women going through divorce.
Seeds of Equanimity with Micheal Uebel, PhD
Q: What would you want listeners who read Seeds of Equanimity to walk away with?
A core takeaway is that equanimity is an ongoing, purposeless attention that reshapes our relationship to experience rather than forcing peace, and that this process mirrors how therapy helps people become more fully themselves.
Seeds of Equanimity with Micheal Uebel, PhD
Q: Can you share a memory of how reading has impacted you?
The memory centers on Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy and how reading it during a time of personal academic shift and a professor's family crisis showed him literature's therapeutic potential to offer consolation and cope with suffering.
