    146 - How to Get Out of Your Own Head with Donna Jackson Nakazawa

    Does your brain feel like it has a mind of its own? Do you find yourself replaying old arguments, worrying about the future, or stuck in a loop of self-criticism? You're experiencing Mind Drama—and according to science journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa, there is a way to shut it down for good. In this episode, Donna joins us to discuss her transformative new book, Mind Drama: The Science of Rumination & How to Outwit Your Inner Defeatist. We take a deep dive into the neuroscience of rumination, exploring how our brains get trapped in the "Default Mode Network" and why traditional positive thinking often isn't enough to get us out. This episode gets personal as we open up about our own mental loops, and Donna helps us (and you!) map out exactly how to pivot away from self-defeat toward mental clarity. From the science of neural pathways to tangible, daily strategies, this conversation is a roadmap to a quieter, kinder inner life. In this episode, we cover: Why the human brain is hardwired for rumination (and why it's not your fault). The MIST Framework: A 4-step roadmap to mental clarity. Ballistic Interruptions: How to use rapid, sensory shifts to "snap" out of a thought loop. How to differentiate between helpful reflection and toxic "Mind Drama." A vulnerable look at Jenn and Lori's personal mental loops—and the specific tools they are using to break them. If you are tired of being held hostage by your own thoughts, this episode will give you the neuro-hacks you need to reclaim your peace of mind.

    145 - A Breast Oncologist's Wake-Up Call: From Doctor to Patient with Dr. Marisa Weiss

    What happens when the world's leading expert on breast cancer becomes the patient? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marisa Weiss, renowned oncologist and founder of Breastcancer.org, to discuss her unique 360-degree perspective on the disease. Dr. Weiss shares the raw reality of her own diagnosis and how it shifted her understanding of patient care. We dive deep into the evolving landscape of breast cancer treatment—from targeted therapies to the importance of lifestyle changes—and why "informed decision-making" is the most powerful tool a patient can have.  Dr. Weiss breaks down the "information overload" that often follows a diagnosis and offers a roadmap for navigating treatment with clarity and confidence. We explore the vital importance of listening to your body, asking the "hard" questions to your medical team, and the lifestyle shifts that can impact long-term health. Whether you are currently in treatment, a survivor, or looking to lower your risk, Dr. Weiss provides essential advice on how to be your own best advocate in a complex medical system.

    144 - The Grammy Winner Who Refused to be Silenced by MS with Chad King

    In this episode, we sit down with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Chad King, one half of the hit-making duo, A Great Big World. While millions know him for the global anthem "Say Something," few realize that Chad's journey to the stage has been defined by a quiet, parallel battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Chad opens up about the day his world changed with an MS diagnosis and how he transformed fear into a catalyst for intentional living. We dive into the physical realities of touring with a chronic illness—from the specific accommodations he makes to protect his voice and energy to the ways he's adapted his performance style. Above all, his legendary optimism shines through as he discusses why he believes a diagnosis doesn't have to be an ending, but a new way to sing.  Chad shares the physical symptoms he first noticed and why he urges everyone—no matter how busy their career—to stop ignoring the "small" things before they become big problems. It is a conversation filled with kindness, humor, and  infectious positivity – a vital reminder that your health is your most important instrument. This episode is a  masterclass in resilience, kindness and finding joy in every moment!
