August 22, 2025 The Importance of Feminine Forever By, Oh God... Robert Wilson?
This week, host Jane Marie talks to NYT journalist Danielle Friedman about something WE DON'T TALK ABOUT. Menopause.

Well, actually, around here we do. Quite a bit. Because it's incredibly important and an awful part of our medical system (current and historical) that both doctors and, subsequently patience, know so little about women's health in general and menopause specifically. So, let's ALL dig in to this rich and interesting conversation... right fellas?

August 01, 2025 Striving Is Bad For Your Health
This week we are going into the archives to one of our favorite episodes from The Dream Season 3...

Who does coaching work least well for? Turns out it’s the exact people who could benefit most from it, according to the industry. Dr. Sherman James and Dr. Arline Geronimus discuss the downsides of positive thinking, bootstrapping, and mindset culture. For some people, striving has negative impacts on health and happiness.

July 18, 2025 The Wellness Institute
On this week's episode, host Jane Marie talks to someone who called into our tipline! We listen to all of them folks, so keep 'em coming. Chae is a clinical social worker and therapist who was intrigued by a continued ed class in hypnotherapy and the ways she could use hypnosis as a trauma modality in her practice. The class was taught at a place called "The Wellness Institute" and, if you know this show at all, you know that it won't take long for the wheels to fall off a Hypnosis class offered by a self described institute for wellness, but this baloney is truly bonkers.
