October is breast cancer awareness month and Dr. John King is joining us to talk about mammograms. He'll explain why we need them, the difference between 2D and 3D screening, and why they need to squeeze us so hard! He'll also address some of the common myths around mammograms and alleviate our fears. This is a great chance to learn what we all should be watching for in terms of breast health!

Today we're talking about possessions and the effect they have on our happiness. How can we love our possessions, but not be mastered by them? How can we glean more happiness from the things we own?

Today's topic was inspired by the first chapter of Gretchen Rubin's book, Happier at Home. Join us as we read and discuss one chapter a month beginning with today's episode!
