  • 46 - Learning to Fight Well: Marriage Counseling Insights with Emily Baggett

    46 - Learning to Fight Well: Marriage Counseling Insights with Emily Baggett
    1 Nov 2026
    Fighting isn’t the problem. Fighting badly is.

    Marriage and family therapist Emily Baggett joins Dr. Ethan Levine, Rob, and Mukund to explain how couples can turn conflict into connection. Emily specializes in couples work, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy. About half her clients are not yet married: dating, engaged, or discerning marriage. She explains why conflict is healthy and how to see what’s really driving the fight.

    In this episode:
    • Why opposites attract, then drive each other crazy
    • Looking past the content of a fight (the dishwasher) to the context (what’s driving the bus)
    • Green, yellow, and red flags for knowing when a fight is productive
    • The pursuer-retreater pattern, and why “Cold War” couples are the hardest
    • Attachment styles and turning self-awareness from knowing into doing
    • Reflective listening: feeling heard calms a fight before it’s solved
    • Working with people pleasers and the emotional labor they carry
    • When couples therapy isn’t appropriate
    • Why to start early: 5 to 8 sessions now vs. years of work later
    • How kids, holidays, politics, and financial strain add pressure
    • Rebuilding trust after infidelity or other betrayal, and why trust is a choice tied to safety

  • 45 - Listening to the Quiet: A Psychologist’s Guide to Starting Meditation with Adrienne Charleston

    45 - Listening to the Quiet: A Psychologist’s Guide to Starting Meditation with Adrienne Charleston
    26 Oct 2026
    How do you quiet a mind that never stops moving? Psychologist and meditation coach Adrienne Charleston, founder of Butterfly Flow, joins Dr. Ethan Levine, Rob, and Mukund to break down meditation in practical terms. Adrienne went from military paralegal and court reporter to prison psychologist. She explains why she sees meditation as listening, not talking, and how she coaches clients at every level. In this episode:
    • Why belly breathing is the foundation, and how singing, sports, or yoga can help
    • Guided meditation vs. sitting in silence, and how to pick what fits you
    • Starting at two minutes instead of thirty
    • Meditating for anxiety (return to the present) vs. for goals (ask a question, then listen)
    • Quick resets for high-pressure jobs: the four-count breath and tense-and-release at your desk
    • Why mornings work best, and why journaling and dream capture pair well with meditation
    • Practicing your “happy space” ahead of time so you can use it at the dentist or in a tough moment
    • Vision boards as goal-setting, not decoration
    • Meditation as a counterweight to the attention economy
    Adrienne also describes transpersonal-style sessions, which she compares to EMDR or hypnosis, and shares what can surface during them.

  • 44 - The Medication Trap: Why Your Pills Need a Checkup Too with Dr. Monica Leriger

    44 - The Medication Trap: Why Your Pills Need a Checkup Too with Dr. Monica Leriger
    22 Sep 2026
    Pharmacist Dr. Monica Leriger joins the Mental Wealth Pod team to unpack how aging changes drug metabolism, why "new symptom = possible drug side effect," anticholinergic burden and cognitive fog, herbal supplement risks, generics vs. brand names, psych meds and food/drug interactions, and the future of personalized pharmacology.

    Top highlights:
    • Rule of thumb: any new symptom in an older adult should be treated as a possible drug side effect first
    • Anticholinergic burden from combined OTC/prescription meds can mimic dementia
    • Herbals aren't regulated for potency/interactions — same "50mg" label can vary by source
    • Generics are FDA-equivalent except thyroid meds, where manufacturer consistency matters
    • Diet matters: grapefruit juice inhibits liver enzymes; even watermelon caused a real diarrhea case
