“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

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.

Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue

This weekend, Vogue’s Vintage Market was a major success, drawing an enthusiastic and stylish crowd from the moment the doors opened. Celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Emma Chamberlain and Cynthia Erivo, alongside designers such as Willy Chavarria and Tory Burch, were spotted browsing the carefully curated selection. 

Live from the buzzing event in SoHo, Vogue’s Production and Editorial Associate Irene Kim takes us behind-the-scenes of the sale in this week’s episode of The Run-Through. She chats with editors and designers about the pieces they scored, the ones they missed out on, and the certified best buys of the sale. (Hint: A certain Balenciaga piece seemed to be a Vogue favorite!)

Later in the episode, Chloe sits down with Vogue’s vintage experts, Lilah Ramzi-Goettemann and Margaux Anbouba, to discuss how the market came together, the incredible finds they were able to nab, and where they go to shop for the best vintage.
