Summary

To close out the year, we're looking back on some of the conversations that shaped This Helps in 2025. This episode is a highlight reel of moments, ideas, and voices that stayed with us: conversations about connection, vulnerability, grief, hope, power, and what actually helps us, day to day. This is not a definitive list, and it's definitely not a ranking. We had so many meaningful conversations this year, and we loved every one of them. What you'll hear in this episode is just a snapshot, a cross-section of the themes, questions, and voices that capture the spirit of what this show has been exploring and where we're hoping to go next. πŸ”— Watch our 2025 recap on YouTube Featured in this episode: Dr. Nina Vasan and Dr. Darja Djordjevic, Stanford Brainstorm Larissa "Larz" May, #HalfTheStory Rainn Wilson, Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution Dr. Jeffrey Hall and Dr. Andy Merolla, The Social Biome: How Everyday Communication Connects and Shapes Us Dr. Smita Malhotra, Los Angeles Unified School District Brian D.
