Kathryn interviews Author Mark E. Scott. Jack Current isn’t just hoping to drown his sorrows during his evening pub crawl through downtown Cincinnati’s Over the Rhine neighborhood; he’s hoping to actually drown — in the Ohio River. But not until he has poured his heart onto paper in the dollar store notebook he’s got with him.

Kathryn interviews Author Frieda Hoffman. Upon discovering that so many other women had experienced miscarriage but had never felt comfortable sharing it, certified coach Frieda Hoffman felt not only betrayed by and furious with the patriarchy that made them feel ashamed, but also a profound sense of sadness that women seem to be made to suffer in silence.

Kathryn interviews Author Tracy Dennis-Tiwary PhD. Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary argues that anxiety is not, as we often refer to it, unhealthy—in fact, it’s an evolved advantage that protects us and strengthens our creative and productive powers.

Distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience and offering real-world stories and person...
