For decades, entrepreneur and diabetes advocate Howard Steinberg appeared successful by every measure. But beneath the accomplishments was a relentless inner critic, childhood wounds, intergenerational trauma, and a deep longing to understand who he really was. In this powerful conversation, Howard shares the deeply personal journey behind his memoir, Confessions of a Problem Seeker: My Lifetime Journey from Busy Brain to Loving Heart. Together, we explore childhood survival patterns, the impact of being raised by Holocaust survivors, finding yourself after divorce and career loss, self-compassion, psychedelic healing, and why the path to wholeness begins by learning to sit with discomfort instead of running from it. If you've ever felt stuck in survival mode, join the conversation with host Hilary Russo and her guest and be kind to your mind.

Do you have the right to die? Hilary sits down with Erica Baccus, author of A Promise Kept, to share the intimate and complex story of her husband John's battle with dementia and the decision they made when faced with what she calls the "dementia catch-22."

Together, they explore love, autonomy, caregiving, grief, and the ethical gray areas surrounding end-of-life choices. This is not a conversation about right or wrong, it's about understanding, compassion, and having the conversations most of us aren't prepared for… until the end of our lives is staring us in the face.
