    “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness” by Jonathan Haidt, published by Penguin Press, is available wherever books are sold.


    We are only just beginning to understand the impact social media and smart devices are having on the mental and emotional well-being of teens and children around the world. In this episode of “The Oprah Podcast,” Oprah talks to Jonathan Haidt: a social psychologist, NYU professor and the New York Times bestselling author of "The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness." Jonathan will share why he believes the skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression and addictive behaviors in teenagers can be directly linked to social media and excessive screen time. Oprah and Jonathan will also talk to teens - and their parents - from around the country about how their addiction to social media and smart devices is depriving them of their adolescence. Finally, Jonathan will offer tangible ideas for how parents and teens can work together to act now to prevent long-term and irreversible damage on teenagers’ still developing brains.

    Introducing LIZZO EXCLUSIVE: “Releasing The Weight Has Affected People” The Real Transformation Story She’s Never Shared Before from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

    Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    How would your life change if your healing reshaped not just your body, but your entire way of being?

    What if the real change wasn’t about losing anything—but about gaining a deeper connection to yourself?

    In this deeply vulnerable episode, global superstar Lizzo sits down with Jay for an unfiltered conversation about loss, boundaries, transformation, and what it really feels like living in the spotlight. Lizzo shares how her loyalty to friends and her habit of seeing the good in everyone sometimes came at the cost of her own peace.

    She shares what happened when she finally stopped chasing relationships that no longer served her—and how distance gave her clarity on who was truly in her corner. Lizzo opens up about the pain of letting people go, the reality of feeling isolated, and the music that came out of her lowest moments.

    Lizzo dives deep into how the recent public scandal impacted her—and why she’s now more intentional than ever with her words, her energy, and her healing. Lizzo opens up about the responsibility of being a public figure, how her weight release journey evolved into a powerful personal transformation, and why she's chosen to let go of toxic energy.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    How to Let Go of One-Sided Relationships

    Why Some People Disappear When You Set Boundaries

    How to Honor Your Emotions Without Editing Them

    How Your Energy Shapes What You Attract

    How Love Without Drama Becomes a Flow State

    What It Means to Grow Apart Without Guilt

    Why Intentional Healing Starts With Self-Awareness

    Lizzo’s transformation is a reminder that you can still believe in people—and protect yourself. You can evolve—and still be soft. And you can face the hardest season of your life—and still come back to love.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

  • Trump’s Funding Freeze Could Make the Treasure Valley Hotter

    The Treasure Valley Canopy Network (TVCN) was ready to expand its tree planting efforts across the valley, until plans unraveled when the Trump administration froze funding. This left TVCN scrambling to pay past-due bills and even losing its spring planting window. Executive Director Lance Davisson explains to host Lindsay Van Allen why urban forestry matters, and how their local partners are working to keep the dream alive.
