  • Why Scientists Are Watching Idaho’s Bird Flu Closely

    Late last year, bird flu was confirmed in wild birds in the Treasure Valley. So how worried should Boiseans be about catching it? This isn’t your typical seasonal flu, and scientists are keeping a close eye on it — even though there haven’t been any confirmed human cases in our state. Dr. Christine Hahn is Idaho’s state epidemiologist and the division of public health’s medical director. She is talking with host Lindsay Van Allen about what makes this virus different, who’s at risk, and how to protect yourself. 

    Come across a sick wild bird? Idaho Fish and Game is collecting reports of sick wildlife here.

    Introducing LOVE EXPERT Stephan Speaks: 7 Ways You are Blocking Yourself From Meeting Your Soulmate (Change Your Patterns to Find the ONE) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

    Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Do you think your “type” limits you?

    What’s one unrealistic dating expectation you’ve had?

    Today, Jay welcomes back one of the most insightful voices in modern dating and relationships, Stephan Speaks. If you’ve been searching for clarity in love, struggling with self-worth in dating, or wondering why you keep attracting the wrong partners, this conversation is a must-listen.

    Jay and Stephan kick off by breaking down one of the biggest struggles in today’s dating world—the negative perception of men and women. They explore how sensationalized online narratives and personal biases shape our beliefs about relationships, often distorting reality. Stephan explains how social media and exaggerated dating horror stories create unnecessary fear and distrust, making it harder for people to embrace love. 

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a cycle of failed relationships, Stephan reveals that understanding yourself first is the key to finding the right partner. He emphasizes three critical factors: first, accepting the differences between men and women instead of resisting them; second, knowing yourself before entering a relationship, as many people struggle because they aren’t even clear on what they truly need; and third, prioritizing healing, because unresolved pain from past experiences will continue to affect every new connection. 

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to Stop Letting Dating Myths Mislead You

    How to Attract the Right Partner by Knowing Yourself

    How to Heal Before Your Next Relationship

    How to Communicate With a Closed-Off Partner

    How to Break the Cycle of Failed Relationships

    If you’ve felt frustrated, discouraged, or like love just isn’t in the cards for you, remember this: the right relationship isn’t something you chase, it’s something you attract by becoming the best version of yourself.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty
