If you're in need of hope, this is the show for you! As a doctor who treated hundreds of patients with brain injuries, neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander strongly doubted the existence of an afterlife. However, after he contracted E. coli meningitis (which has a 1 in 10,000,000 annual occurence), he ended up in a coma for seven days and had a life changing experience. He came to the conclusion that the brain does not create consciousness and that consciousness survives bodily death. He is the author of several books stemming from his own near-death experience, including the #1 New York Times Bestseller called, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife.

We've been living in an era of 'hyper-genderism', where we've been taught but pink is girly and blue is for boys. For too long, many girls have been afraid to challenge the societal norms and be what so many people call a 'tomboy'. But what does that term even mean? To learn more, we talk to Lisa Selin Davis, author of the new book, Tomboy: The Surprising History and Future of Girls Who Dare to Be Different. The book explores where tomboys fit into our evolving understanding of gender identity and expression. It expands on the ideas Lisa first discussed in an Op-Ed piece she wrote for the New York Times about her own daughter's experience as a self-described "tomboy" and how her research led her to the conclusion that many women who we consider to be the greatest heroines of all time described themselves the same way.
