Have you been so isolated at work or school that you feel the need to quit the job or switch schools? It feels like bullying but not exactly, and no one can help.

What is mobbing and how to spot it?
How to handle a tough conversation when mobbing is happening.
A look in the mirror for all of us as mobbers and victims of mobbing. This is an episode you will be talking about for weeks and have you reflecting on your personal relationship with mobbing.

The use of Ketamine has gotten a bad rap due to multiple media stories about those who have abused it. However, Ketamine has valid clinical uses (e.g., treatment resistant depression) and the potential to help others who have failed multiple medication trials or who can't take medication for various reasons. Listen in as Dr. Laura speaks with Dr. Evan Peskin, a dual boarded Anesthesiologist and Interventional Pain Medicine Physician who operates Sanctuary Healthcare. His clinic focuses on the appropriate use of Ketamine for treatment resistant depression and PTSD and researches the potential future uses of Ketamine in an ethical and responsible way.

We've all seen it — the sudden silence, the group chat you're not in anymore, the friend who "just can't tell you why." Dr. Laura sits down with Alicia Leszewski, founder of Brand Ethos and Kind Ethos and leader of the Stop the Mobbing movement, to unpack workplace mobbing: the subtle, coordinated form of social isolation that hides in plain sight at work, school, and on athletic teams — and that most of us have both experienced and unknowingly participated in.

Alicia opens up about the corporate culture that pushed her to see a psychiatrist for the first time in her life, walking away from a job weeks after a double mastectomy surrounded by workplace cruelty, and how that experience — plus watching her own daughter get mobbed in high school — led her to build a movement (and an upcoming book) around naming what's happening and teaching leaders, coaches, and parents how to spot it before it does lasting damage. It's all about the mindset!
