    Stop Scrolling, Start Building: Vibe Coding, AI Safety, and Tech That Calms You Down

    I'm a technophile with a love-hate relationship with my phone — so I sat down with someone who thinks about this a lot! Gabe Montague is the founder of Mindful Makers, a Boston community that builds technology to support mindfulness instead of eroding it. This is a real conversation about using AI well. We cover what "vibe coding" actually is and how someone who has never written a line of code can start today, the projects I've built this way (a neuroscience site kids can talk to, and my sleep app), and how Gabe runs one-day hackathons where coders and non-coders build tools for their own digital wellbeing. We get honest about AI safety — what I keep off my laptop, why Gabe watches AI rather than turning it loose, and the security mistakes that are easy to make. We talk about whether kids should use AI, whether it's making us sharper or lazier, and the neurotech wearables that can read your stress (and where that gets uncomfortable). Gabe also shares how his own meditation practice began — with an app, of course! Somewhere in the middle, Gabe describes a focus idea I've started using on my own writing: setting an intention before anything else unlocks, and telling AI to pause and check in before the next step. That's the same follow-through thinking at the heart of RELAX TO SOAR the planner I printed, and name of the book I'm writing. RELAX TO SOAR(TM) is my guide to setting automatic micro-habits that actually stick.

    That “Lump in Your Throat” Might Not Be Anxiety: Dr. Juna discusses "Silent Acid Reflux: Prevention and Treatment" with renowned author and ENT specialist, Dr. Aviv

    That “lump in your throat” might be a symptom of something more chronic. In this episode of the MindBodySpace Podcast, Dr. Juna sits down with her own doctor, Dr. Jonathan Aviv—ENT physician, Columbia professor, clinical professor at Mount Sinai, and author of The Acid Watcher Diet. We talk about silent reflux, acid influx, and a stomach enzyme called pepsin that may sit in the throat, mouth, nose, and sinuses—and then get reactivated by acidic foods and drinks. This matters because reflux does not always feel like heartburn and chronic reflux can lead to problems benign and pre-cancerous. Sometimes it feels like: ✔️ chronic cough ✔️ hoarseness ✔️ constant throat clearing ✔️ post-nasal drip ✔️ a lump in your throat ✔️ waking up at night feeling like you can’t breathe Dr. Aviv also explains why some “healthy” flavored drinks, sparkling waters, sports drinks, vinegar, citrus, tomato sauce, and wine can be triggers for some people—and why the solution does not have to be a miserable, restrictive diet. This is where tracking matters. Changing your diet is not just willpower. It’s pattern recognition. The RELAX TO SOAR™ planner helps you track food, sleep, stress, exercise, routines, and how your body feels—so you can start seeing what actually helps you feel better. Small changes. Real patterns. Less guessing. Explore the planner here: limited time special offer https://www.mindbodyspace.com/store This is not medical advice.

    Why Stress Makes Healthy Choices So Hard and How to Reset and Rewire Your Brain

    You know what’s good for you. Better sleep. Less scrolling. More movement. Healthier food. More calm. So why is it still so hard to choose it? In this episode, Dr. Juna Bobby M.D., Ed.M, explains why this is not a laziness problem or a character flaw. It is a brain-under-stress problem. When your nervous system is overloaded, your brain defaults to old habits, quick rewards, and familiar coping patterns. That is why stress can make healthy choices feel harder, even when you know exactly what to do. You will learn how the Relaxation Response helps calm the nervous system, interrupt stress-driven habit loops, and create the conditions for real behavior change. Dr. Juna also walks you through simple practices to help you reset and rewire your brain for better habits, more self-awareness, and greater resilience. If you are a high-achieving parent, professional, or anyone trying to feel better without relying on more willpower, this episode will help you understand what your brain needs first. In this episode, you’ll learn: why stress makes healthy choices harderhow the brain defaults to quick fixes under pressurewhat the Relaxation Response ishow stress affects habits, self-control, and behavior changehow to start rewiring the brain through small repeated practiceshow to build healthier habits with less shame and more self-awarenessDr. Juna is a mom, medical doctor, double board-certified in diagnostic radiology and lifestyle medicine, and a Harvard-trained educator. Juna has taught resilience and peak performance tools to students, professionals, performers, and families, and her goal is to help you understand your brain so you can work with it instead of against it.
