Today, I’m joined by Dr. David Rabin, a triple-threat psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author of A Simple Guide to Being Alive. In this episode, Dr. Rabin brings a refreshingly human perspective to one of life’s biggest questions: What does it really mean to be alive? We dive into why so many of us have been taught to treat our emotions as problems to fix, rather than signals to listen to, and explore the invisible cost of misunderstanding our own nervous systems.
