  1. Number 1: Happiness in the Age of AI feat. Dr Laurie Santos

    What makes us happy is often misunderstood. And in the age of AI, it's easier than ever to seek quick and easy answers to some of life’s biggest questions. In this episode, host and licensed therapist Sreela Roy-Greene sits down with happiness expert and Yale professor Dr. Laurie Santos. Dr. Santos illuminates the mountains of research about what tends to make us happy (spoiler: it isn’t that fast car). Together, they sift through tips and tricks on how to make each day better and let go of perfection. The two also discuss how happiness is a practice and where AI can assist—or impede—our mental health. 0:00 Intro: Why Success Doesn't Always Make You Happy 00:53 Welcome & Introducing Dr. Laurie Santos 02:38 AI, Therapy & the Importance of Human Connection 03:26 The Hidden Risks of Using AI for Advice 08:10 Why Relationships Matter More Than We Think 12:23 Vulnerability, Friction & Asking for Help 15:05 Can AI Help Us Be More Vulnerable? 18:07 The Arrival Fallacy & the Science of Happiness 20:52 Gratitude, Presence & Finding Joy in Everyday Life 22:56 Simple Habits That Improve Mental Well-Being 25:28 Why Therapy Is a Journey, Not a Quick Fix 28:52 Practical Tools for Anxiety & Depression 33:10 Why Every Emotion Has a Purpose 35:49 Social Media, Comparison & Protecting Your Happiness 40:18 Why High Achievement Doesn't Guarantee Happiness 43:41 Dr. Laurie Santos' Daily Happiness Rituals 44:57 Key Takeaways 46:00 Credits Hosted on Acast.

  2. Number 2: How to Help Someone When They're Down

    We all want to help the people we love, but when someone is struggling, knowing what to say or do isn’t always easy. In this episode, host and licensed therapist Sreela Roy-Greene sits down the BetterHelp therapist Hannah Heitz to explore how to support someone through a difficult time without trying to “fix” them. Drawing on insights from BetterHelp’s latest State of Stigma report, the two discuss why so many people still hesitate to seek how, how to recognize the subtle signs that someone may be struggling, and why simply showing up with curiosity, compassion and consistency can make all the difference. 00:00 Opening Story: “How Have I Waited This Long to Get Help?” 00:32 Why It's So Hard to Ask for Help 03:02 Why We Believe in Therapy—but Avoid It Ourselves 04:05 How to Support Someone Who May Be Struggling 06:06 Recognizing the Signs of Emotional Distress 09:07 Why Anger Can Mask Deeper Emotions 10:33 Supporting Without Trying to Fix 13:43 What Not to Say to Someone Who's Struggling 16:02 How Mental Health Stigma Is Changing 20:44 What Starting Therapy Really Feels Like 21:34 It's Never Too Late to Seek Help 22:57 Final Reflections on Support, Stigma, and Showing Up Hosted on Acast.

  3. Number 3: Womanhood in 1966 vs. 2026

    How much do you know about the experiences that shaped your mom or grandma? In this episode, host and therapist Sreela Roy-Greene sits down with Kim Murstein and Gail Rudnick, the granddaughter–grandmother duo behind the podcast Excuse My Grandma, for a conversation that bridges two generations of womanhood. Gail reflects on her early adulthood in the 1960s — the choices she made, the family norms she embraced, and the world as she experienced it — while Kim shares what it means to build a life in her twenties today. Instead of debating whose path is “right,” they lean into curiosity, discovering just how much context deepens understanding. Later, Sreela is joined by licensed mental health therapist Sonni Williams from BetterHelp to explore how we can learn from the generations before us, and how to have thoughtful, productive conversations that strengthen connection.

  4. Number 4: How to Deal with Loneliness and Build Meaningful Connections

    What if loneliness isn't something to fix, but something to listen to? On this episode, Haesue sits down with Case Kenny, writer and podcast host of New Mindset, Who Dis? to unpack what loneliness really teaches us when we stop running from it. Case opens up about the profound disconnection he felt climbing the corporate ladder in his twenties—succeeding on paper but feeling emotionally cut off from himself and others. He shares how he learned to reframe loneliness as a compass rather than a character flaw, the power of changing his inner dialogue from harsh judgment to gentle guidance, and why the male loneliness epidemic starts with men asking deeper questions of each other. Haesue is then joined by Monica Jiang, founder of The Oneliness Project, for a grounded conversation about loneliness as both a personal and structural challenge. From how our cities and technology create disconnection, to simple practices for moving through difficult emotions without becoming consumed by them, this episode offers compassionate guidance for anyone learning to sit with discomfort—and discovering that sometimes the path back to others starts with learning to be comfortable with yourself. betterhelp.com/mindifwetalk Hosted on Acast.

  5. Number 5: How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

    We’ve all had that inner voice that sometimes says, “You don’t belong here.” That’s imposter syndrome, and there’s more to it than you might think. In this episode, host and therapist Haesue Jo talks with Peabody and Emmy Award-winning journalist Jane Marie about what it’s like to carry self-doubt, even with a long list of accomplishments. The conversation takes a surprising turn as Jane and Haesue discover how Jane’s childhood has shaped her inner critic—and how therapy and motherhood are helping her soften it. Later, Haesue is joined by Dr. Valerie Young, a leading expert on imposter syndrome, to unpack where these feelings come from and what we can actually do about them. From personal stories to practical advice (did you know that the answer to imposter syndrome is not more success?), we’re exploring how identity, perfectionism, and belonging all play a role in imposter syndrome. Whether you’ve ever questioned your own success or felt like the odd one out—this episode’s for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
