Our guest is Juliet Annerino, a board-certified clinical hypnotherapist based in Los Angeles who helps people overcome anxiety, phobias, unwanted habits, and other barriers to personal change. Juliet returns to explore the power of labels—asking whether the way we define ourselves, from phobias and allergies to diagnoses like ADHD, can sometimes limit us more than help us. We'll discuss the science behind mindset, including Yale University's famous "Mind Over Milkshake" study, and share three practical ways to turn labels from limitations into tools for growth.

We'll talk about the technology behind the app and why timely information can make a real difference in protecting public health.

We'll talk about the history behind Project Nike, why nuclear-armed missiles once stood in Marin County, and how a simple museum visit turned into a fascinating investigation of the Cold War's lasting legacy.
