  • The Gift of Generosity

    The Gift of Generosity
    Dec 24 2025

    What can we learn from "the giving of gifts" that might help us understand the REAL meaning – and perhaps the biological importance – of generosity? This episode explores how gift-sharing seems to have its roots in stress-reducing, even survival-serving emotions (ones that may date back millions of years!) rather than the fraught and often unsatisfying transactions we enact today.

    You'll learn about healthy neurochemicals and brain patterns associated with altruistic generosity and those that may rise from how we often see "gifting" today – and peek at why neuroscience research may miss the mark when it seeks to measure what REALLY happens in the brain when generous intentions weave together.

    Happy holidays and hope you enjoy! Oh: episode page here.

  • Getting Unstuck

    Getting Unstuck
    Nov 29 2025

    Here's the truth. I've been stuck. Trying to understand why by looking to the brain? Nothing worked.

    And then I stumbled across another organ that offered a clue – and a perspective – about why we get stuck and how to get out of it.

    This one's short and simple. Yet it's set me on my way to what comes next: things that give me (and hopefully you) hope, understood through the lens of the brain...and beyond.

    Thank you for being here. Your faith and patience means the world. More from me soon.

    Here's a link to the episode page with a few bonus resources.

    With gratitude,

  • More Than Skin Deep with Grace Gold

    More Than Skin Deep with Grace Gold
    Mar 29 2025

    Beauty, it turns out, is in the brain of the beholder. Research looking to pin down the correlates and functions associated with "experiencing beauty" so far leave scientists wondering where and how the the whole beauty thing happens.

    Yet the chase to "be" beautiful is a major cultural phenomenon, not to mention a $650B + global industry. Today's guest, Grace Gold, is an expert in that industry and the players and products that shape it. Which makes it even more refreshing when she explores beauty as something far beyond the reach of even the best products – an expression of radiance and energy innate in each of us.
