The questions to ask to uncover someone's personality
The impact technology might be having on your judgment
Bias Awareness and why it's essential to good judgment

125 — How to Advocate for Your Health and Save Your Life with Samantha Harris
It's tempting to put off dealing with a health issue until later. But time is our best weapon against illness. Sometimes, you have to speak up more than once to get your needs addressed.
No one knows this better than Samantha Harris. She was at the top of her career as the host of shows like Dancing with the Stars, E! News Now, and the Emmy Awards when she developed a health issue. So, while it wasn't a convenient time to address her health, she knew she couldn't ignore it. Samantha was diagnosed with cancer, and now, she has written a book called Your Healthiest Healthy. Some of the things she talks about are how all areas of your health are related, how to prioritize your health, and the exact steps to take to manage your health even when you're busy.

123 — Healing Your Unseen Emotional Wounds with Christina Rasmussen
When we talk about grief, we often refer to the loss of a loved one. But this is not the only type of loss that causes emotional pain. Sometimes, our losses are invisible — like when someone criticizes our dream and we stop pursuing it.
Christina Rasmussen is a grief educator and the best-selling author of several books, including Second Firsts. Her new book is Invisible Loss. Some of the things she talks about are how to identify our invisible losses, how to heal old wounds, and how to step out of the "waiting room" so you can start fully living.
