Why Everyone Is So Certain — And Why It's Destroying Us
We live in a moment where everyone seems absolutely certain. Certain about their politics, their opinions, and their read on other people. But what if that certainty isn't confidence?

From the neuroscience of dopamine and certainty to the shift from the Information Age to the Imagination Age, this conversation digs into what we lose when we stop being willing...
What Our Kids Are Afraid to Say Out Loud
Episode Overview
Anxiety has become one of the defining experiences of childhood today. In this episode, Harris and Kate don't come with a five-step solution — they come with their own stories. Real ones.

The conversation moves from the personal to the cultural, exploring why childhood is getting more stressful, what the neuroscience says about stress and developing brains, and how wonder — the...
Why We Don’t Trust Our Gifts (And How to Reclaim Them)
Why is it so hard to trust our own gifts?

But this isn’t just a diagnosis...it’s an invitation.

How the World Teaches Us to Shrink — And How to Reverse It

Through the deeply personal story of their daug...
