Aging, Perception and the Desire to Feel Like Yourself with Dr. Lynne Haven

SilverDisobedience® Perception Dynamics™ host Dian Griesel interviews renowned dermatologist Dr. Lynne Haven about how aesthetic treatments relate to identity, confidence, aging, and also the desire to look like yourself rather than chase perfection. Dr. Haven explains that most patients seek to feel more vital and aligned. She emphasizes listening, personalization, restraint, and choosing practitioners with not only the best knowledge and expertise, but also essentials such as skill, artistry, and integrity. Together, they discuss social media filters and unrealistic expectations; motivations, such as life events; menopause and related collagen loss; and increased concerns with GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, such as loss of facial volume and hair shedding. Dr. Haven shared ways to mitigate these side effects with nutrition, slowing weight loss, and devices that tighten skin and build muscle. The conversation covers differences in aging by sex; the mind-body impact of Botox; noninvasive dermatology vs. surgery; risks of unqualified injectors; sun protection; evidence-based skincare, including vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinoids; acne treatments; skin-cancer warning signs; lasers for sun damage; and considerations for different skin tones.

Escape Programming Defaults and Become Wildly Human with Eric Edmeades

Why You Don’t Do What’s Best for You (and How to Fix It)! ~Eric Edmeades on Evolutionary Mismatch, WildFit & Habit Cessation In this SilverDisobedience Perception Dynamics conversation Dian Griesel is joined by self-motivation and leadership expert Eric Edmeades who explains why people often don’t do what they know is best, arguing that instincts, habits, and nervous-system cues shaped for survival can misfire in modern life due to “evolutionary mismatch.” He describes how behaviors like smoking, vaping, and phone scrolling trigger real chemical rewards through mismatched stimuli, and why today’s pervasive stress differs from ancestral peak danger. Edmeades connects these ideas to his WildFit approach, outlining seasonal metabolic “fuel systems” (carbs/sugar, fat, and protein burning), nutrition quality, and the value of muscle density and movement for lymphatic flow and longevity. He discusses the origins of his book Post-Diabetic and the concept of being “post-diabetic” after reversal. He shares practical environmental ideas (natural sound, light, air, water) and offers free resources: https://ericedmeades.com/ https://impactdynamics.scoreapp.com/ Please SUBSCRIBE!

The Astrologer's Guide: Navigating Love and Life with Neda Farr

Soulmate Astrology Explained with Neda Far: Birth Charts, Compatibility, Retrogrades & AstrocartographySilverDisobedience Perception Dynamics host Dian Griesel interviews astrologer Neda Farr, who has studied astrology for over 10 years and now specializes in “soulmate astrology.” Neda explains that a birth chart is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment of birth and that sun-sign compatibility is often inaccurate because it ignores other key placements like the moon, rising, Mars, and Mercury, plus aspects and houses. She outlines zodiac elements (fire, water, air, earth) and describes personality traits tied to each, noting that chart clusters can override sun-sign stereotypes. Neda discusses her soulmate readings, compatibility “placements,” and how she uses birth data and astrocartography to suggest where and how someone may meet a soulmate. She warns that accurate birth time is crucial, clarifies newspaper horoscopes, touches on evolved vs. unevolved signs and karma, and explains retrogrades (especially Mercury). She also shares her app, Star Crossed, which offers soulmate readings and upcoming features.

Mafia Chronicles: Power, Crime, and Survival in America with Jeffrey Sussman

Jeffrey Sussman on the Rise, Decline, and Survival of the American Mafia | Mafia Hits, Misses, Wars & ProsecutionsIn this @SilverDisobedience Perception Dynamics Podcast, host Dian Griesel interviews author Jeffrey Sussman [https://www.jeffreysussmanauthor.com/] about his book, "Mafia Hits, Misses, Wars, and Prosecutions: The Rise and Decline of the Mob in America [https://amzn.to/4e1WfFp]," and the personal experiences that sparked his fascination with organized crime, including mob intimidation tied to garment-industry trucking and unions and a designer relative forced into a mafia partnership. Sussman argues the mafia adapts and survives despite government crackdowns, highlighting Robert Kennedy’s prosecutions, the RICO statute, and the Commission trial. He discusses pivotal events and histories such as the Castellammarese War -- a bloody power struggle over control by the Mafia in the USA; formation of the five New York families; the National Crime Syndicate; and, claims from the House Assassinations Committee materials about Marcello, Trafficante, and Hoffa conspiring to kill president John F. Kennedy (JFK) with Oswald as a fall guy. He also recounts stories about FBI informant and killer Greg Scarpa and corrupt “mafia cops,” and previews a future book on mob control of the garment center.
