  1. The Mental Health We Inherit — and the Healing We Choose with Leslie and Lindsey Glass

    19H AGO

    The Mental Health We Inherit — and the Healing We Choose with Leslie and Lindsey Glass

    On this Mother’s Day episode of Live Happy Now, Paula Felps sits down once again with mother‑daughter duo Leslie and Lindsey Glass to explore how mental health patterns, coping strategies, and emotional habits are passed down through generations. Drawing from their own lived experience — including estrangement, reconciliation, and years of therapeutic work — Leslie and Lindsey share practical, compassionate tools for breaking unhealthy cycles, setting boundaries, rebuilding trust, and creating new family patterns rooted in safety and connection. In this episode, you'll learn: How generational patterns of anxiety, emotional suppression, and coping get passed down — and how to interrupt them. What healthy reconnection looks like, from “baby‑step conversations” to shared activities that rebuild safety and trust. How to navigate estrangement, boundaries, and forgiveness when one person is ready to heal and the other isn’t.

    The Theory of Everything / Dr. Michio Kaku

    Ever wondered what's beyond our universe?  So did Dr. Michio Kaku, beginning at the young age of 8, and it led him to try and complete Einstein's unfinished work: a theory of everything.  Dr. Kaku is a world-renowned physicist and a co-author of String Field Theory,  which some claim is the closest we've come to understanding the code of the universe.  In our fascinating conversation, Dr. Kaku and I explore multiverses, measure consciousness, and question the nature of reality...and cats.

In his decades of experience, Dan's seen a lot, and he's paving a unique and profound new path redefining what it means to love and to be in a relationship, or rather, to be in many relationships. Is the human species meant to love one person? Or is love provisional like our identity? Join me as we paint new colors on a very old practice.

    The Center of Everything / Dr. Sanjay Gupta

    Today I welcome my old friend, world-renowned neurosurgeon and Chief Medical Correspondent for CNN, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Join us for a conversation where we discuss the amazing 3-pound mass we call our brain -- does it hold the answers to how we think, feel and imagine?  Is the brain the center of everything we believe is reality? And is that where the mind resides? The answer may not be what you expect.  Come with me, as we explore the mysterious power of the mind.

    You Are Not Your Brain / Rebecca Gladding, MD

    Who are you? If you've ever stopped to ask yourself this question, a myriad of adjectives have likely swirled around your...brain.  But, is that really you?  My guest today, psychiatrist and author Rebecca Gladding, MD,  says, not necessarily. In fact, you may be working from a set of deceptive and tenacious, maybe even false, narratives in your brain.  So join me to investigate how our identity is shaped and by whom —or what. And most importantly, how to reimagine the very idea of who you think you are.

    Dr. Jane Goodall joins me today to take us into the wild and explore consciousness outside and beyond the realm of the human animal.  How does understanding consciousness in other species help us understand our place in the web of life?  How do we harness this understanding to ensure the survival of our planet...and us?  Dr. Goodall, a world-renowned primatologist and anthropologist -- and not to mention a personal hero of mine -- takes us into the story of her life and the lessons she's learned along the way.   Join me, as we discover the power of the human spirit and our connection to all living things.  Special thanks to Aimee Morgana

    A Space to Remember / Michael Arad

    We humans remember things on a uniquely grand scale.  From the pyramids to the Washington Monument, we build memorials so we won't forget our past.  Today, I try to understand why with Michael Arad, the visionary architect behind the 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero, in New York City.  When an act of terrorism changed the world forever, how could we do justice to physical and emotional destruction that occurred?  Michael answered that question the only way he knew: by creating a memory space.  Join me for this powerful conversation about history, truth, healing and how the spaces we live in and pass through can change our story, both personal and global.

    Part Two: Minds and Machines / Christopher Wylie

    In Part Two of our series on Artificial Intelligence, we unravel the inner workings of the internet brain, ever-growing in size...and in power.  How do we relate to the systems being built around us?  What is ethical AI? And how can our data shape and alter our reality? Join me as we peer into the future, that is also our present, with Christopher Wylie, the green-haired, nose-ringed whistle-blower on Cambridge Analytica, as well as quite the philosopher of tech. Chris sounds the alarm...and together we look for signs of how to be humanly conscious in the age of machines.
