On this episode, I talk with Dr. Jordana Jacobs, a clinical psychologist in private practice in New York City. Her approach is integrative, combining psychodynamic and existential therapy into her treatment of patients. Dr. Jacobs’ training at Memorial Sloan Kettering working with terminally ill cancer patients, her studies in Northern India, and her Vipassana meditation practice inspired her research on the complex relationship between death awareness and love. Her dissertation, entitled “Till Death do us Part: The Effect of Mortality Salience on Satisfaction in Long-term Romantic Relationships” specifically explored the ways in which priming for death has the potential to increase intimacy in partnerships. In addition to seeing patients, Dr. Jacobs now speaks and leads retreats aimed towards helping people accept inevitable mortality so that they are able to live and love more fully.
On this episode, I talk with Dr. Susan Burger about Neuro-Emotional Technique, or N.E.T, a radically innovative mind-body healing technique, in which Dr. Burger is an expert. Oh yah, she's also my mom.
On this episode, I talk to Donnalynn Civello. Donnalynn a life coach, numerologist, and intuitive healer. A few months ago, I attended one of Donnalynn's numerology circles, and was incredibly surprised by how much I gained from the experience. In this episode, I talk to Donnalynn about my original skepticism around numerology, as well as how we can understand the numbers that present themselves to us in order to overcome obstacles, break negative patterns and to live a better life.

On this episode, I interview Dr. Susan Burger, who is a chiropractor, public speaker, and my mother. One of the common themes I explore in this podcast is the "perennial philosophy"; the wisdom that threads itself through all religions and spiritual traditions. This is a curiosity of mine that I owe my mother for. We look back at her experiences with religion and spirituality, and what motivated her to raise my brother and I with and interfaith perspective.
Media theorist Raphael Zaki comes by the podcast to think out loud about the themes and ideas that he is condensing into his first book, “On Money, Mankind and the Cosmos”. We talk about the biases intrinsic in currency, how our definitions of value color the way we find meaning in our lives, and how we can program new games to play to spend our short time in this universe.
