Today, I’m joined by Dr. David Rabin, a triple-threat psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author of A Simple Guide to Being Alive. In this episode, Dr. Rabin brings a refreshingly human perspective to one of life’s biggest questions: What does it really mean to be alive? We dive into why so many of us have been taught to treat our emotions as problems to fix, rather than signals to listen to, and explore the invisible cost of misunderstanding our own nervous systems.

Today, I’m inviting you into a deeply personal solo episode where I peel back the curtain on a topic I’ve become seriously passionate about: what’s really in the products we put on our skin, and how those choices can impact our long-term health. I share my surprising journey—from my days as a nutrition school student, learning that everything we put on our skin ends up in our bodies, to the moment a routine toxin panel revealed unexpected exposures hiding in my makeup bag
