Mind Meets Machine

What if anxiety isn’t a lifelong label but a learned pattern your body can release? That question sits at the heart of our conversation with hypnotherapist and autistic advocate Lawrence Bartley, who describes the moment his anxiety “melted” during a short hypnosis training—and why that shift felt more physical than psychological. We unpack why autistic anxiety often runs louder: relentless sensory input, misunderstandings around social cues, and childhood moments the nervous system codes as threat. Instead of managing symptoms forever, Lawrence walks us through how processing repressed fear, shame, and grief can remove the fuel anxiety depends on.

Uncertainty keeps smart people stuck. We go straight at the fog—why it forms, how it hides real risks, and what evidence says actually makes love last—alongside Dr. Meredith Thompson, a negotiation scholar and founder of Partner Lab. Meredith breaks down how emotional and financial control often masquerade as care, how gaslighting disconnects you from your body’s alarms, and why staying “for the kids” can teach the very dynamics you hope to avoid.

What does it really cost to live by your values when the world rewards shortcuts and noise? We invited author and broadcaster Joseph M Leonard to unpack honor, integrity, and the daily decisions that reveal who we are at work, at home, and in public. Instead of treating values like abstract ideals, we trace how they show up in hiring, leadership, parenting, creativity, and the way we navigate pushback. The conversation pulls no punches: presence beats constant scrolling, judgment requires consistency, and pride turns toxic when it hardens into hubris.

We explore the difference between healthy pride...
