    140 - Why Positive Thinking is Making Your Anxiety Worse with Dr. Rachel Goldman

    In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Rachel Goldman (Dr. Rachel), a licensed psychologist, speaker, and author of the brand-new book, "When Life Happens: The Mindset Shift You Need to Manage Stress,Build Confidence and Break Free." We've all been there: you have a plan, a routine, and a goal—and then "life happens." Whether it's a global shift or a personal curveball, the unexpected has a way of skyrocketing our stress levels and leaving us feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety. Dr. Rachel dives into the science of why our brains crave certainty and how we can build emotional resilience when things feel out of our control. We discuss the vital difference between stress and anxiety, how to break the cycle of "all-or-nothing" thinking, and the practical behavioral tools we can use to maintain our mental well-being even on our toughest days.

    137 - Lessons From 50+ Stories of Sisterhood with Deborah Roberts

    Laugh, cry, and reflect with us as Deborah Roberts shares why, in a divided world, the bonds between sisters — and the women who become like sisters — may matter more than ever. She has reported from war zones, interviewed world leaders, and earned Peabody and Emmy Awards for her journalism — but ABC News 20/20 co-anchor Deborah Roberts says her most personal story yet begins at home. This week, Deborah joins us to talk about her new book, Sisters Loved and Treasured: Stories of Unbreakable Bonds, a warmhearted celebration of one of life's most enduring relationships. In Sisters Loved and Treasured, Deborah curates a collection of conversations, meditations, and anecdotes from her own sisters, celebrity friends, and everyday people alike, who share deeply personal accounts of how their relationships as sisters shaped their lives. She writes candidly about feeling lost in a big family, the joy and strain of sibling relationships, and the heartbreak of losing two sisters. The book features more than 50 personal stories from Viola Davis, Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush, Arianna Huffington, Octavia Spencer, and many more. But sisterhood, Deborah reminds us, isn't only defined by blood. The book also explores how sisterhood transcends biological lines — and how the bonds between women friends can be just as powerful and sustaining.

    136 - What Dying Taught Her About Living Fearlessly with Anita Moorjani

    Is illness just a physical manifestation of our inner fears? Can simply remembering who we truly are heal our physical bodies? This week, we are honored to welcome Anita Moorjani. After suffering from end-stage cancer, Anita crossed the threshold of death and entered an expanded state of consciousness. In that divine space, she learned that the universe is woven with unconditional love, and that we are all magnificent beings who only suffer because we have forgotten our true nature. In this spiritually expansive conversation, Anita breaks down the false paradigms of fear, guilt, and unworthiness that keep us sick and stuck. She explains how the afterlife operates outside of space and time, what her NDE taught her about our soul's purpose, and why you don't need to die to experience heaven on earth.

    135 - How to Reverse Your Midlife Strength Decline with Dr. Vonda Wright

    Did you know your body gives you a completely new skeleton every 10 years? It's true—but after age 40, the quality of that new bone depends entirely on the signals you send it today. In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright dives deep into the "Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause" and why the rapid drop in estrogen can lead to losing up to 20% of your bone density in just five years. But frailty is not your destiny. Dr. Wright breaks down the science of bone remodeling—the constant battle between your body's "demolition crew" (osteoclasts) and "construction crew" (osteoblasts)—and how to keep the builders winning. We're moving beyond the outdated advice of "just walk and take calcium." Dr. Wright shares the concepts from her book, Unbreakable, for building strong bones, the importance of impact training and the critical role of heavy lifting. Stop hoping for good bones and start building them. It's time to become unbreakable!
