8-Life Changing Lessons From Atomic Habits
Small habits can have a powerful impact on our lives – the challenge is that we don’t see the impact from these habits real-time, we only see the results of our habits after a while. This delay in positive change can mean most of us become discouraged. However, it's important that we focus on our current trajectory, rather than our current results. In this episode, I discuss my notes on ideas and concepts I found interesting from the #1 New York Times bestseller book, Atomic Habits.

The Truth About Mental Health
Dr. Chris Palmer, Harvard psychiatrist and author of Brain Energy, has developed the first comprehensive theory of what causes mental illness. Surprisingly, new research reveals that mental health disorders are metabolic, and this paradigm shift in our understanding will finally point the way to treatments that can change lives. In this episode, we discuss why mental health is mistreated, how metabolic disorders have influenced the rise in mental health disorders, and how a diet can put a chronic brain disorder into remission off medication.
**Content Warning** This episode contains discussions of death and suicide. Listener discretion is advised. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts and need support please call 800-273-8255 or visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

Untangling Our Path To Clarity, Courage, and Compassion
Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison has devoted his life to the study and application of psychotherapy and Buddhism. As a young, gay kid dealing with abuse and discrimination, he forged a path towards healing and inner strength through the discovery of Zen teachings. Through his current work, he is able to guide others to discover clarity, courage, and compassion.
