They are rock stars.

Well, today's edition, hopefully we'll get you ready for the new year.

There's often a lot of anxiety associated with the passing of one year and the entrance into the new year.

I think we set ourselves some standards, some great expectations for New Year's resolutions and the like, oh, I'm going to lose 10 pounds. I'm going to quit smoking. I'm going to quit drinking.

I'm going to be a better parent, whatever it is. And maybe we put too much pressure on ourselves.

Dr. Chloe Carmichael is going to help us assess how we might more realistically set some goals.

Also, why she believes and why studies prove that free speech is good for your mental health.

That and a bunch of other fun stuff with Dr. Chloe right after this.

For nearly three decades, she's reported the action from the sidelines.

She started very young.

She's covered the NBA, NFL, Olympics, and the college football and basketball national championships.

And now, during these insane times in our world, Michelle Tofoya thinks we need a serious dose of sanity.

This is sideline sanity with your host, one of the sanest people on planet Earth.

Michelle Tofoya.

Dr. Chloe Carmichael, welcome. I understand Dr. Chloe is just fine.

Yes, Michelle. You can call me whatever you like.

I'm going to call you Dr. Chloe. I've been looking at your blog. I've looked at there's,

you know, you've got a page on psychology today. And I think the thing that I am so curious to talk to you about is a piece that you did back in August.

Free speech may benefit mental health, the importance of open dialogue.
