Mandi Dickey dives into the “M” words of concussion recovery, specifically looking at why so many people struggle with post-traumatic migraines and memory gaps long after their initial injury. She breaks down the “simple but not easy” lifestyle shifts—like upping your protein and prioritizing REM sleep—that actually make a difference in how your brain heals. You’ll also get a deep dive into the specific supplements, from Magnesium Glycinate to Creatine, that can help clear the brain fog and get your nervous system back on track.

Minnesota has experienced tragedy. For those of you who are feeling the entire spectrum of emotion right now…we are with you. In this episode, Tara and Becky will reflect on the rawness of despair and how we can respond to ourselves with compassion when hope feels too heavy. We will process how to express emotion collectively and truly feel out loud when life is filled with intensity.

This week’s Big Story focuses on the tragic murder of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, a horrific act that highlights the dangers facing our community and the need for accountability. For the Big Interview, I speak with Gwen Howerton, a reporter for Chron.com, about the city of Arlington, Texas, inexplicably repealing its LGBTQ+ protective ordinance under the guise of “inclusivity.” In News Bites, I cover a report showing 400,000 trans people have fled red states and celebrate the Children’s Hospital of Colorado quashing a DOJ subpoena. Finally, in Random Acts, I announce that Renee’s death has compelled me to resume my solitary street corner protests to stand publicly against hate.

Host Elaine Rasmussen reflects on the core lessons that surfaced across the show this year—why high earners often feel stuck, how understanding the system changes your leverage, and why integration matters more than consuming more financial content.

This conversation is designed for professionals who are financially responsible but strategically overloaded—people who don’t need more information, but better clarity.

In this episode, we explore:

Elaine also shares why she created Do.Different.Better LIVE, a focused, in-person experience for people ready to slow down, think clearly, and align their money with how they actually want to live and work.
