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.

107 — Dealing with Panic Attacks with ABC News Reporter Matt Gutman
Panic attacks and anxiety are common. But almost no one talks about how to deal with them.
For years, Matt Gutman, the Chief National Correspondent for ABC News, kept his panic attacks secret. He worried what people would think if he revealed his mental health struggles. After years of suffering in silence, followed by years of searching for help, he's written a book to help others learn how to cope with panic attacks. Some of the things he shares are the link between anxiety and his childhood trauma, the treatments he found most effective, and the steps he takes to manage his mental health.
