Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Send us a text Embodying real wealth means being true to yourself with every decision–whether in your career, family life, or finances. Today, I’m joined by financial planner and author Julie Murphy to discuss how aligning with your authentic self can transform your financial reality. So many of us are not living the life we want because we feel stuck in our financial situation. Julie offers a fresh perspective on how that shifts when we love ourselves first and create the safety that allows us to choose adventure. Here's what we cover: How to embrace a new kind of discomfort that will enable you to pivot to the lifestyle you actually want How our programming has led us to “make do” or “figure it out” even when it's not our job Why listening to your body is the most effective way to make the right financial decision How building your trust muscle will help you toward financial freedom Examples to help you learn how to accept disappointing someone in a financial setting The value of a support system when you're finding financial empowerment I can't wait for you to listen. Julie Murphy is a Chicago-based CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and founder and CEO of JMC Wealth Management, Inc.

Episode 103 - Ten Things That Will Help Any Relationship 24:20

for 10 dager siden24:20

24:20

Send us a text When it comes to relationships, we are designed to seek safety, belonging, and connection–we all want to know that we matter. For people pleasers and perfectionists, this commonly shows up as using certain behaviors to “earn” love in return, but that often doesn’t help cultivate real connection. In this episode, I offer you ten strategies you can use to improve any relationship no matter where you are in your journey. Here’s what I cover: Why the skills to repair after a rupture are a crucial part of any relationship A practice to help you better understand your conflict patterns Why the distinction between fault and responsibility is so important 4 questions to help you figure out what is working in your relationships and do more of it How understanding the difference between boundaries, expectations, and preferences will help you communicate more clearly Why taking care of yourself with love and kindness is so effective for improving your relationships I can’t wait for you to listen. Listen to episode 23 of the podcast to practice saying what you want to say. Listen to episodes 36 and 37 of the podcast to dive deeper into the difference between boundaries, expectations, and preferences.

Episode 102 - Sex is Not "Extra" with Dr. Kelly Casperson 52:03

52:03

Send us a text In her book, You Are Not Broken , Dr. Kelly Casperson points out the societal myth that sex is just “extra”--something to enjoy while it lasts and accept when it’s gone. I'm excited to welcome Dr. Casperson to the podcast today to discuss the impact of cultural stigmas about women's health and sexuality, and expand on last week’s episode about practical ways women can advocate for themselves when it comes to perimenopause. Here’s what we cover: The narrow societal definition of who deserves a sex life and the misinformation it has caused How good girl rules are often reinforced by medical professionals even when it’s not intentional The female body isn’t a niche–every physician should understand it Changes in women’s sexuality that can signal perimenopause: arousal, desire, pain, and orgasm Why one of the biggest menopause myths is that you “get over it” at a certain point The goal of perimenopause education isn’t perfection–it’s living life at the highest quality possible I can’t wait for you to listen.

Episode 101 - What Does Eve Have To Do With Perimenopause? 37:21

37:21

Send us a text If you follow me on social media or regularly listen to this podcast, you might know that I have taken on the role of a volunteer perimenopause missionary. This stage of life has had a significant impact on me, as well as my sisters and friends—just as it does for all women at a certain point. In this episode, I investigate how the lack of information and support for women going through perimenopause ties back to one important factor: how religious teachings about Eve have influenced the way society views and treats women. Here's what we cover: A poem by Danielle Coffyn that highlights the way men and women are viewed differently based on how Eve is depicted as morally and intellectually inferior How the story of Eve is directly linked to so many hardships women face–from victim blaming to not receiving adequate medical care Examples of good girl programming that often stops women from demanding more for themselves Why it is important to listen to the message that feminine rage sends us What you can do to advocate for yourself and receive the care and support you need during perimenopause I can't wait for you to listen.

Today, I’m answering your questions about people-pleasing, patriarchy, and so much more.

Send us a text In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Amy McPhie Allebest, a writer, teacher, and feminist historian whose work has helped shape my understanding of patriarchy and expand my worldview. In her podcast, Breaking Down Patriarchy , Amy offers thought-provoking insights that inspire continued learning about the roots of patriarchy in society. Today, she shares some of those powerful ideas and personal stories, which I hope you find valuable as I have. Here’s what we cover: How “good girl” programming contributes to white feminism and upholding patriarchy Why feelings of fear, guilt, and shame create barriers to open-mindedness Several tools for accepting discomfort in order to effectively engage with learning about patriarchy Why working to educate yourself is a valuable first step from silence to speaking up How to create a space for yourself where it's safe to learn and change your mind Why grieving your past beliefs or harm you’ve caused is essential to moving forward The importance of generosity and understanding in growing from what you learn instead of self-blaming I can't wait for you to listen.

Send us a text Have you ever felt resentment building, only to realize your own choices have led you to that place? A huge source of resentment is mistakenly blaming others for decisions that we are responsible for, but recognizing your power to control this can be transformative. In this episode, my guest, Sara Wilhelm, shares her recent breakthrough in understanding her resentment, and how she has made a plan to move forward in the direction of living more according to her values. Here’s what we cover: The steps to take you from feeling resentful to taking action How people pleasing disconnects us from our true feelings and desires A method to help deal with the discomfort you feel when you stop people pleasing How women are programmed to believe that our time is not actually our own Why finding a way to take action helps stop resentment towards other people or larger systems The importance of self-compassion as you work through your resentment I can't wait for you to listen!

Send us a text I want every woman to have the ability to create a life of her choosing, filled with the freedom to embrace her desires. I’ve worked hard to create a program that helps women achieve this, but the real magic of my Stop People Pleasing program comes from the women themselves who are willing to take risks, expand their capacity for feeling uncomfortable, and develop the skills needed to live authentically without the weight of constantly pleasing others. In this episode, I’m so grateful to be joined by four amazing women from my program–Allyssya, Sara, Stephanie, and Susan–who share their journeys with people pleasing. You'll hear about the changes they have made in their daily lives and in how they see themselves. Here’s what we cover: How a group program provides encouragement from other women on the same path Why trust in yourself is crucial to turn your focus to your own desires How people pleasing has a cost, and you often pay for it with your peace and happiness Examples of which areas in life people-pleasing tendencies are most common Why coaching provides you with the freedom to implement what you've learned whenever the time is right for you How to start living a life you created instead of living a life someone chose for you when you stop people pleasing I can't wait for you to listen!

Send us a text Mistakes are a part of life–we all make them, whether it’s with ourselves, with others, or in pursuit of our goals. Even as we grow emotionally and strive for greater self-connection, our inner critical voice often shames us for every misstep. In this episode, I explore why self-compassion is key when we mess up, and how leaving self-criticism behind is essential to lasting growth. Here’s what I cover: Examples that illustrate the way we were conditioned to fear making mistakes and the lasting impact this has How to address the parts of yourself that are triggered when you mess up—the critic and the part that feels like you are in trouble—with compassion so you can move forward in a healthy way Why caring for those parts allows us to separate ourselves from the mistakes we make Sentences to say when you mess that preserve your self-respect and the sincerity of your apology How people pleasers often conflate their self-worth with their actions, but you deserve to make a mistake and recover from it Four questions to ask after you make a mistake to inspire a more loving response from yourself I can't wait for you to listen.

55:29

Send us a text When it comes to goals and to-do lists, the unrealistic expectations we often have lead to feelings of inadequacy and overwhelm. Whether you want to set a goal for the new year or achieve a task this weekend, today’s guest, Goli Kalkhoran, shares why we often overreach and how to set practical and fulfilling goals that lead to success instead of shame. Here’s what we cover: How it's possible to change your mindset so you feel good about yourself no matter what you achieve in a day An exercise to illuminate the unreasonable nature of the level of productivity we often expect from ourselves Why the perceptions of other people heavily factor into the unrealistic goals of people-pleasers The idea of “time optimism” and how we use it to punish ourselves by ignoring the context of what is actually going on in our lives Why focusing on only one goal for the year is an effective strategy How to choose just one goal by using an exercise to examine areas of insufficiency in your life and asking yourself “What's the rush?” I can’t wait for you to listen. Goli Kalkhoran is Master Certified Life Coach, and former attorney, who helps unfulfilled professionals create a career (and life) they actually like. She is the host of the Lessons from a Quitter podcast where she uses her platform to de-stigmatize quitting and provide resources and inspiration to individuals looking to pivot in their established careers.

Send us a text When we don’t get to cross something off of our to-do list, we often blame ourselves for poor time management. However, the founder and creator of the Time Hacker Method, Vikki Yaffe, joins me today to offer the perspective that the problem is not us, but the mindset about time we’ve been taught to have. Vikki teaches people the skills to collaborate with time more flexibly, and I’m so grateful to have her on the podcast to share tips and tools to stop feeling shame around time and trust ourselves instead. Here’s what we cover: How good girl rules overlap with myths about time management The downfalls of the systems, norms, and tools that we have been taught that are supposed to help us with our time How the false truths we were taught about time stem from exploitation When we try to manipulate time by overscheduling ourselves, it prevents collaboration with time and a relationship with ourselves An example of what it looks like when someone is caught up in the misunderstanding of time Why your brain is the most effective tool to make lasting change with your time I can't wait for you to listen.

Episode 93 - How To Get Out of the Planning Trap with Priyanka Venugopal 49:50

for 11 weeks siden49:50

49:50

Send us a text “I just need a really good plan,” is a phrase that offers overachievers a sense of security, but the cycle of planning is often what holds us back from achieving our goals. In today’s episode, Dr. Priyanka Venugopal joins me to discuss why plans alone don’t deliver the desired results and how embracing a different, more informed strategy can lead to greater clarity, growth, and success. Here’s what we cover: Why just having a plan on paper is never going to create lasting results because we have to go the extra step to evaluate what actually works How planning triggers the reward centers of the brain because you are imagining doing the plan perfectly, but this often leads to inaction instead of achievement We know we can do hard things, but a plan shifts our focus to wishfulness instead of doing the work How to speak to yourself with compassion so your evaluation doesn't feel like self-punishment 5 questions to help you uncover the reason your plan didn’t work and how to adjust moving forward It’s possible to allow yourself to feel your emotions while also being curious and realistic Why it’s important to acknowledge your efforts every step of the way - not just when you get a result I can't wait for you to listen! Priyanka Venugopal is an Ob/Gyn physician turned Stress and Weight Loss Coach for professional moms who identify as overachievers and who want to lose weight with science backed strategies that will last a lifetime. For over 10 years she has talked with thousands of high achieving professional women and gotten to the root of the high achiever's biggest obstacles in hitting goals at work and on the scale.

Send us a text The hopes and expectations we have going into the holiday season make this time of year particularly susceptible to feeling grief. In this week's conversation with Susie Ruth, an end-of-life coach and grief specialist, we discuss strategies for navigating grief and offer insights on how best to support someone grieving during the holidays. Here’s what we cover: The reason why we are more susceptible to feeling grief during the holidays Why the acronym B.R.A.T.S. will help you remember phrases and actions that DO NOT help you process your grief The process of learning more about grief is the first step to understanding how you can grieve and live at the same time How simply acknowledging your grief and that it’s okay to feel is an important healing practice How to use the W.A.I.T. acronym to guide you in supporting someone who is grieving Why there is grief that comes with any transition in life I can't wait for you to listen.

Send us a text When we cause harm to someone else, the good girl tendency is to feel shame and defensiveness. Instead, if we get to a place where we are generous and can grieve our mistakes, we can move on to be better versions of ourselves. In this episode, I talk about how the themes of Wicked relate to my journey of becoming an ex-good girl and the importance of self-compassion when you have to question your beliefs. Here’s what I cover: How the representation of power structures fueled by patriarchy in the Wicked movie relate to our society Why you can't grow into better versions of yourself without acknowledging that past versions made mistakes How my experience as a member of the Mormon church has similarities to Glinda’s character arc in Wicked Two good-girl beliefs that are roadblocks to learning from our mistakes and becoming better friends and allies How we have been conditioned to react to shame and think negatively about changing our mind Why we often jump to defend our beliefs instead of being open to the idea of exploring new ones I can't wait for you to listen!

Send us a text In this episode, you’ll get a glimpse into my musical-loving heart as I discuss the feminist themes of the movie, Wicked , and moments in the film that took me back to a time when I had to realize a hard truth. Here’s what I cover: Why we all deserve to have beliefs consistent with having autonomy and being able to find what we like and what we want to do How the song “Defying Gravity” helped me through a challenging time in my life Why the realization that something that provides goodness and safety is actually doing us harm is a shared experience for many Each of us is worthy of being in relationships, friendships, and careers that do not exist inside circumstances that require us to ignore part of what is going on in order to be happy An important truth about people pleasing and gender equality is illuminated in an essay by Celeste Davis I can't wait for you to listen.
