Playing with Dirt (0:19:33)

It’s hard to keep your kids out of the dirt. They enjoy playing in it, making mud pies, and digging up worms. But, when kids play in the dirt, they get it everywhere and on everything. It’s a mess for parents. But, it also might be part of the reason your kids are so cheerful.  In fact, scientists have reason to believe that playing with dirt makes you happier. Studies have found a microbacteria in soil called mycobacterium vaccae that lowers stress and helps you feel happier. It almost seems too good to be true. So, we invited Dr. Christopher Lowry, professor of integrative physiology at the University of Colorado Boulder researching this phenomenon, to discuss the connection between dirt and happiness.

Couples Claustrophobia (0:52:50)

At the beginning of most marriages, a couple’s natural instinct is to spend as much time together as possible. You wake up together, eat together, shop together... you do everything together. However, as time goes on, each person gradually needs a little more personal space. This isn’t a bad thing. In fact, a little alone time is healthy, it allows you to indulge in your own interests and hobbies, and makes you crave each other’s company more as a result .But the question then becomes, how can couples establish a balance of alone time and together time and how can they do so without causing hurt feelings? Dr. Kathy McCoy, author, journalist, and, psychotherapist, is here to discuss this idea of couples’ claustrophobia and how to find balance while being sensitive to our partner’s needs.
