Good afternoon, everyone. It's Dr. Niagara again with our next episode of Psychology Unplugged. Another great week of speaking with a lot of you guys. I think I've responded to everybody's text messages, emails, phone calls. A lot of you guys have been coming out from various parts of the country, a truly humbling experience.

Duxbury, Massachusetts. And today we have our first guest that's not Julie, even though she's

here in the background. Who knows, she may pop in. She knows. She's floating around all the time.
