Doomscrolling: The Mental and Physical Response and How To Break The Habit with Dr. Alison Holman Nov 25, 2025

What happens to our minds and bodies when we can’t stop scrolling? In this episode, Alita Guillen sits down with Dr. Alison Holman, Professor of Nursing and Psychological Science at UC Irvine, to explore the hidden costs of doomscrolling and constant exposure to distressing media.

Dr. Holman’s groundbreaking research reveals how the images we see online, especially violent or graphic ones, can trigger the same stress responses as living through trauma. From 9/11 to the pandemic to the wars and political divisions of today, she’s studied how repeated exposure to collective crises can lead to anxiety, depression, and even cardiovascular problems.

Together, they talk about what’s really happening in our brains when we scroll, why it’s so hard to stop, and how to protect our mental and physical health in a world of endless headlines. Dr. Holman shares practical ways to reset your nervous system, including mindful body scans, breathing techniques, limiting alerts, and setting intentional “media doses.”

This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the constant news cycle. It’s a reminder that staying informed doesn’t have to mean staying anxious, and that compassion, connection, and awareness are key to taking back control of your attention.

How to Build a Healthy Relationship With Your Kids with Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar Nov 09, 2025

Raising children is multifaceted. The goal for many of us is to raise resilient well-adjusted children who contribute to society in a meaningful way and to have a good adult relationship with them. But there are ups and downs and challenges from infancy to adulthood. How we as parents navigate those times impacts our child’s ability to bounce back from a setback and the relationship we have with them once they are adults. In this episode, Alita Guillen sits down with Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar, a developmental psychologist, Penn State professor, and editor-in-chief of Developmental Psychology.
Together, they explore how our earliest traits, like shyness or boldness, interact with our environment to shape who we become. Dr. Pérez-Edgar shares how her research connects temperament and attention, revealing how some children learn to regulate anxiety and thrive while others struggle. They discuss what parents and teachers can do to support kids’ emotional growth, how to spot early signs of social anxiety, and why understanding behavior isn’t about labels—it’s about compassion.
This conversation offers a fascinating look into the science of human development. From the biology of fear to the power of supportive relationships, Dr. Pérez-Edgar shows how small moments can have a lifelong impact.

What if equality at home could change everything from our health to our happiness? In this episode, Alita Guillen sits down with Eve Rodsky, Harvard-trained lawyer, New York Times bestselling author, and creator of Fair Play, the system reimagining how couples divide domestic labor.

Eve lays out a plan so that couples can become proactive by restoring balance, having boundaries, implementing systems, and establishing good communication.

They also talk about Find Your Unicorn Space, Eve’s follow-up to Fair Play, which explores how reclaiming creativity is essential to combating burnout and rediscovering joy.

The Science Behind Truth and Deception with Tim Levine Phd Nov 04, 2024

Do you think you can tell when someone is lying?
Are their eyes shifty, or maybe their body language gives it away? Or maybe those aren’t even the right clues, and you can’t tell at all because of something called the truth-default theory.
Tim Levine, Phd., Distinguished Professor and Chair of Communication Studies at The University of Alabama, Birmingham, is known internationally as a leader in deception research. His book Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Deception explains why we are unable to tell when someone is lying and how to find evidence that gets us closer to the truth. When we communicate with people, honesty is our default. Naturally, Dr.Levine consults for law enforcement and intelligence and counterintelligence workers.
He joins us on this podcast to explain the research and to help us identify honesty and deception.

The Crusade For Women’s Health and The Tools to Live Strong, Healthy, and Powerful Sep 03, 2024

The conversation around women’s health and menopause is changing but it is still far from where it needs to be. The National Institute of Health has a research budget of 45 Billion dollars. Less than 11% of that goes towards women specific health research.Women need to get mad and start demanding the care they deserve. It’s no secret that as women age, they experience some unpleasant symptoms such as anxiety, fatigue, migraines, hair loss, and hot flashes. We call this perimenopause or menopause, and it can start in our late 30’s, or early 40’s and last for more than a decade. A fraction of us get treatment but most of us don’t, instead we stay silent, and we suffer.Dr. Sharone Malone, is a Washington based OB GYN and the wife of Former US Attorney General Eric Holder and the sister of the late Viviane Malone. She has left her practice of 30 plus years because she says she can now speak to more women through social media and other outlets and squash misconceptions about treatment. She’s now speaking to all of us with specifics on how to take back our health, stop suffering and live stronger.

Writing Your Bestseller With Author Janis Cooke Newman Jun 05, 2024

Writing is a form of communication. It actually helps improve our non-verbal and verbal connection with others. When we write well we make a reader feel something.
Maybe you’ve thought about writing a memoir or a fiction book but you just don’t do it —it’s intimidating, where do I begin, how do I make my readers feel something, and how do I get it to the masses once I am done.
Today’s guest is going to help us answer all of those questions and tell us how she communicates through her writing.
Janis Cooke Newman is an author and teacher.
Her books include Mary: Mrs A Lincoln, A Master Plan For Rescue, and a memoir The Russian Word For Snow.
She is the founder of the Lit Camp Writers Conference and the founder of Page Street, a co-working space for writers in San Francisco and Berkeley.
I (Alita) met her at a writing and meditation retreat I attended last fall. I found how she guided my group through the process of observing the world around us and then expressing that through story, was exceptional—so I thought it would be fun to share her with all of you.

Honoring the Work of Comedian Lenny Bruce Through Actor Ronnie Marmo Nov 21, 2023

There’s nothing like a good comedy show to make you laugh and think about the irony of our lives.
Long before Dave Chappelle, Ali Wong, or Richard Pryor, there was one comedian that changed the landscape for all comedians. He communicated about his life through comedy like no one had ever done.
Lenny Bruce was a controversial character in the 50’s and 60’s who challenged the first amendment with his act by talking about politics, religion, sex, drugs, and race. He was arrested several times for the things he said and spent more time in jail than he did on stage. He died in 1966 of a drug overdose.
Today's guest has taken on Lenny Bruce’s story by writing and starring in a one-man show that portrays the life and character of this controversial communicator.
Ronnie Marmo is an actor, director, and producer. You may have seen him on Criminal Minds or General Hospital, but a few years back he decided to write and star in the one-man show, I’m Not a Comedian, I’m Lenny Bruce, directed by Joe Montanga.
Ronnie has performed this show over 400 times. He joins me in person to talk about his journey in communicating onstage through one of the most iconic performers of all time and share how that comedian has influenced us all.

TV Executive Nely Galan on Power, Money, and Finding Your Voice Jul 26, 2023

It's not enough to be good to make an impact. My guest today says that you must also become rich and speak up.Entrepreneur and Television Executive Nely Galan speaks candidly about what it takes to make it as a successful woman in America.
Galan was forced to find her own voice at a young age. As a child immigrant from Cuba, she was thrown into an all-girls American school, forced to quickly learn English, and become the family interpreter. Her teachers told her to behave "like a lady", and her parents asked her tone it down because she was an immigrant. None of that felt natural or fair to Galan. As a teenager, she was falsely accused of plagiarizing an English assignment. The accusation outraged her so much that she submitted an article to Teen Magazine about why you should never send your daughter to an all-girls school. The school suspended her, of course, but the magazine hired her! That was the beginning of Nely Galan's unique voice.
By age 22 she was running the top Spanish language television station in New Jersey. At 25 she was hosting her own talk show. Soon after she launched her own production company and developed shows like The SWAN for the FOX network. She became the president of the Spanish Language television network Telemundo, and was even a contestant of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump.Galan wrote the best-selling book "Self-Made", where she tells how she made it in Hollywood and what women should do to have power, money and be heard. Nely continues to advocate for women all over the world. She is the founder of the Adelante Foundation, which provides loans and education to entrepreneurial women all over the world.

How Art Can Change Your Life with Will Day Jun 07, 2023

When we think of communicating we usually think of the spoken word. But what about Art?
Art can express feelings and ideas that we can’t verbalize.
Contemplating a painting or sculpture, or attending a dance recital can make us feel happy or sad—or both at the same time. It can open our senses and bring us to places we don’t have words to express.
My guest today is American Artist Will Day, known for his large-scale paintings and bold strokes.
Will’s passion for art began in high school, but he didn’t pursue it as a profession at first. An unfulfilling job on Wall Street and a graduate degree in architecture, made him realize that his true calling was painting.
His family was skeptical when he declared art was going to be his future. . . but 15 years later his success speaks for itself.
You can find his pieces all-over the world in private and public collections.
Will joins me to talk about how he communicates through art, how becoming an artist changed his life, and how it can change ours as well.
More on Will here.

The Argument for Good Argument with Bo Seo May 31, 2023

Debating is one of the art forms of communication. We all use debate tools every day, even when we don’t know that we are using them. When we try to get our point across at work or argue with a pesky relative, we are using certain skills to win an argument.
The rapid changes in socially accepted norms and the divisive political moment are making many of us walk on egg shells, fearful of expressing an opinion different from others.
Today's guest says that is not good for society and we should not shy away from these arguments but instead learn the rules of debate and engage!
Bo Seo is a 2 time World Debate Champion.
He is the former coach of the Harvard and the Australian National Debate Teams. He is also the author of the book Good Arguments, where he makes the case for using debate tools as a framework to lean in to uncomfortable conversations. Bo says we need to restore confidence and faith in what disagreements can be.
Bo joins me to talk about the importance of being able to argue and explains how to have a good argument!
