What we hide behind a first impression reveals more than what we show. Armand DiMele and co-hosts Ben Starr and Giullian Gioiello unpack why people announce what they are not (threatening, needy, angry, afraid) and how every social mask points back to the insecurity underneath it.
Irritability turns out to be closer to fear than anger, and closer to tears than most people realize. Armand DiMele and Stephanie D’Ambra, LCSW, trace how weather, hormones, serotonin, fatigue, and vitamin D deprivation all converge to push the nervous system toward that hair-trigger state, and callers weigh in with their own experiences.
Everyone is born an artist, but what keeps that alive? Artist and teacher Patricia Miranda joins Armand to explore creativity as a daily act, the physical intimacy of egg tempera painting, gold leaf, and why children need unstructured boredom to let their inner lives flourish.
