You’re not alone—and there is a way out. This week, JVN is joined by Dr. Caroline Leaf: cognitive neuroscientist, mental health expert, and bestselling author of Help in a Hurry, her game-changing guide to navigating stress and emotional chaos when life hits the fan. Together, they dive into what’s actually going on in your brain when you're overwhelmed, the science behind how thoughts can make or break your day, and how quick, simple tools—like mental check-ins, breathwork, and reframing—can help you regulate your nervous system fast. Dr. Leaf shares why stress isn’t your enemy, how therapy and neuroscience can work hand-in-hand, and why taking an “insurance policy” for your mind might be the most powerful thing you can do for yourself.  Full Getting Better Video Episodes now available on YouTube.  Not A Phase.  Trans Lifeline Follow us on Instagram @gettingbetterwithjvn  Follow Jonathan on Instagram @jvn Senior Producer, Chris McClure Producer, Editor & Engineer is Nathanael McClure Production support from Anne Currie and Chad Hall Our theme music is also composed by Nathanael McClure.

This week, JVN is joined by Hospice Nurse Julie: palliative care expert, educator, and social media sensation known for her compassionate, candid conversations about death and dying. Julie shares what it’s really like to work in hospice, the powerful and mysterious moments that can happen at the end of life, and why preparing for your own passing—legally, financially, emotionally—is one of the most loving things you can do for the people you leave behind. Together, they explore how death is a natural part of life, how to start end-of-life conversations with your loved ones, and what it looks like to face the unknown.
