Diagnosis! What it means, how it came to be, how it is used for good and for ill. Today I talk with trauma reseracher Mary Catherine McDonald, PHD, about the DSMâthe veritable bible of mental healthâand the sheer subjectivity with which it was conceived, written and wielded by doctors and insurance companies alike.
We also discuss the wonderful madness of Robin Williams, how to rebuke terrible questions and what we think of people who like to tell other people who they are.

Today we speak with Jasmin Morgan interior designer of Adroit Interiors and Danielle Dixon, Account Luxury Manager / Resale Specialist at The RealReal and founder of Rhome Vintage Jewelry. We discuss the meaning that lays within the worlds of things and stuff, worlds I now begrudgingly acknowledge are necesssary: how clothing relates to body dysmorphia and our sense of power when we enter a room, the tranquility one may experience from a well organized home. There is also a very small dog present, and his name is Ollie. You will be hearing from him.
