For years, I've watched women, especially moms, ignore their own needs in ways that go beyond putting family first. There's this magical thinking around wardrobe - "I just won't plan to spend anything for clothes" - but that could be considered avoiding responsibility for self-care.
Research from Harvard shows that making daily choices actually extends longevity.
When elderly nursing home residents were given simple decisions to make, they lived longer than those who had everything decided for them. Getting dressed gives you dozens of opportunities every day to exercise choice and practice self-care.
In this episode, I share how my five levels of style psychology are actually progressive forms of self-care, from basic body protection to authentic self-expression. Plus, I explain the psychology behind why avoiding style choices creates a negative cycle - and how small, conscious clothing decisions can help you reconnect with caring for yourself. Most moms think getting dressed is just another chore to get through, but actually it's one of the most accessible forms of daily self-care.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
