Dr. Laurie Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, and this year my podcast, the Happiness Lab, is partnering with GiveDirectly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need as part of the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will bring over 700 families out of extreme poverty. Your donation will put cash directly in the hands of these families in need. And they'll get to decide how to use it, whether that's school transportation, purchasing livestock, or starting a business. Plus, if you're a first-time donor, your gift will be matched by giving multiplier, which means more money for those in need. Visit givedirectly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and to donate.

Hi, I'm Radhida Vlukia, and I am the host of A Really Good Cry podcast. This week, I am joined by Anna Runkle, also known as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, a creator, teacher, and guide helping people heal from the lasting emotional wounds of unsafe or chaotic childhoods.
Talking about trauma isn't always great for people. It's not always the best thing. About a third of people who are traumatized as kids feel worse when they talk about it, get very dysregulated.

Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally. And I'm Hari Kundabolu. On our new podcast, Health Stuff, we demystify your burning health questions.

My residency colon was like a cry for help, honestly. And you'll hear candid advice and personal stories from experts who want to make healthcare more human.
I feel like I never felt like I truly belonged in medicine.

Talking about guns with others might not always feel comfortable, but it could save a life. Here's a way to start a conversation. Your family is going over to your neighbor's home for dinner for the first time. How would you ask if there are any unlocked guns in the home?
Hey.
Hey, we're so excited for tonight. Before we come over, though, may I ask if there are any unlocked guns in your home?
Our guns are stored securely, locked in a safe that the kids can't access.
Awesome. Learn how to have the conversation at agree2agree.org. Brought to you by the Ad Council. And she said, Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night.
Along the central Texas plains, teens are dying. Suicides that don't make sense. Strange accidents and brutal murders. In what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad.
Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people. There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.
Listen to Paper Ghosts, The Texas Teen Murders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. One of the most memorable awkward Tuesdays of the year where one of our listeners caught his girlfriend out at a bar wearing an engagement ring and it wasn't his. The truth shocked us all, but maybe even crazier is we get them back on to give us an update.
Like them? Both of them?
Good or bad, you'll find out. It's a special Awkward Thursday phone call right after this. Everyone's been asking for this. It's an update from an Awkward Tuesday phone call. Right after it's done, we're going to have them back on the phone to find out where they are now. Oh. Oh. Because, I mean, you can rationalize it in your head. Like, you know what? It's not really any of my business. I don't want to jump to conclusions and stir up drama if that's not really what's going on. My eyesight really isn't that good anyway. That could have just been a mannequin and I'm totally seeing things.
So you're not saying it's just like, you caught him eating ice cream on a non-cheat day. Yeah.
Is there any chance you do that? Or do you go tell your friend immediately what you saw?
