    Jun 4 2025

    Shane Gero is a marine biologist who studies whales. Growing up in Canada, Nature captivated him at an early age, and a childhood love for orcas grew into a career studying their cousins, the sperm whale.

    In this episode, Shane shares his path to working with the whales in Dominica, how scientists are using groundbreaking AI techniques to decode whale speech, and why this research is so vitally important. We chat about how listeners can become involved in whale research– no career change required. Shane also has one of the most magical answers I’ve ever heard to the field story at the end of the episode, so be sure to stay tuned for that.

  • 110. What Balance Really Looks Like in a Busy Life (and How to Find Yours)
    May 7 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever felt like you're juggling flaming glassware while riding a unicycle on a trampoline? Same.

    In this deeply honest episode, we dive into what balance really looks like—and spoiler alert: it’s not a neat, tidy equation. From overworked weeks and triangle theory to biology’s take on homeostasis, we explore the messy, dynamic dance of work, life, health, and everything in between.

    Learn how to assess your priorities, adjust your inputs, and find your version of balance—whether it’s a tiny tweak or a full life reboot. Because in a constantly moving world, staying steady isn’t about perfection—it’s about tuning in and choosing again.
