113 — Overcoming the Fear of Feeling with Author Jennie Allen
If you struggle to understand your feelings and don't know what to do with them, you're not alone. Most of us weren't ever taught how to identify what we're feeling, let alone manage those feelings. That's why so many people try to avoid feeling anything at all.
Author Jennie Allen knows a thing or two about avoiding emotions. She says for much of her life, she tried to fix everything to avoid feeling uncomfortable. But now she's learned how to untangle her emotions, and she's sharing what she learned along the way. Some of the things she shares are how to identify your emotions, how to cope with an uncomfortable feeling, and how to help someone else who is in distress.

111 — Redefine Your Self-Worth and Rise Above Societal Expectations with Author Kara Loewentheil
There are a lot of societal pressures for women to act a certain way. Some of these pressures are subtle while others are more obvious. But the messages women start receiving at a young age can take a toll on their self-worth.
When Kara Loewentheil became an Ivy League graduate turned women's rights lawyer, she realized the reason she still didn't feel good enough was because she had bought into some of the messages about how women should be. Now, as a life coach, podcast host, and author, she's showing women how to take back their brains. Some of the things she talks about today are how to deal with body image issues, how to stop depending on approval from others, and how to take back your time.

109 — Reclaim Your Natural Wild Side in a World That Tries to Keep You Tame with Filmaker/Author Craig Foster
How much time do you spend in nature? Most of us spend far more time indoors than outdoors. And we're more likely to be surrounded by electronics than trees.
Craig Foster, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind My Octopus Teacher, says we've lost touch with our wild side. Not only is that bad for our psychological well-being, but it's harmful to the ecosystem. He's written a book called Amphibious Soul, and he's now encouraging all of us to get in touch with our wild side again. Some of the things he shares are how to rewild ourselves, how to really learn about nature, and how to use nature to reinvigorate our lives.
