● Becoming Un-Numb: Dr. Stephanie Byerly on the High Achievers Who Feel Nothing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My guest today is Dr. Stephanie Byerly. She's an anesthesiologist, which she'll tell you herself is a mouthful. She's also a coach and speaker who works with high achieving women who look great on paper and feel almost nothing underneath. Stephanie spent years achieving her way to the top of academic medicine, all while carrying trauma she didn't know was steering the car. It took a facilitator in a psychodrama session to hand her the line that cracked everything open: you've been numb your whol

On September 11, 2001, Rick DellaRatta watched the world change in real time. He did not set out to write a poem that day. The words simply started coming, one line after another, because he needed somewhere to put what he was seeing and feeling. That poem became part of the story behind Jazz for Peace.

But one night, during a hurricane, seven months pregnant and sitting under her desk at the station with a bag of Doritos, she found herself asking a much bigger question: “Is this it?” That moment became the beginning of a different story. In this conversation, Sara and I talk about life inside TV news, the hidden
Before You’re Ready to Stand Up (opens the original)

This is a very personal episode for me. Just before my wife went into the hospital for the last time, my friend Tara LaFon Gooch introduced me to Mark Victor Hansen by text. In the months that followed, Mark checked in with me through texts. I was not ready to record, and he never made that a problem. His messages were kind, steady, and supportive while I was trying to find my way through a lot of loss. He met me where I was. Mark has written 328 books, including the Chicken Soup for the Soul se
