  • The Legalization of Marijuana | Eps 047 | Talkin' Wellness
    Dec 9 2024

    Welcome back to Talkin' Wellness: Presented by South Florida Wellness Network!

    A big point of controversy during the 2024 election cycle in Florida was the conversation about legalizing marijuana. 55.9% of Floridians were for this amendment to pass, while 44.1% were against it. Should the amendment have passed when the majority of Floridians wanted it? What are the negatives and positives of weed? If we make it legal, how "legal" should it be?

    Join us as we try to answer all these questions and share our own perspectives on the matter. And as always, be well!

    Nov 18 2024

    After the results of the 2024 Election, many felt absolute joy, while others were devastated.

    On this episode, we try to find a middle ground. Can wellness and politics exist in the same playing field? How important is it to have non-judgmental conversations and respectful debates? Can people with different opinions and beliefs have a friendship?

    Join us as we try to answer all these questions and more. And as always, be well!

  • Is A.I. Taking Over? | Eps 051 | Talkin' Wellness
    Feb 3 2025

    Greetings, esteemed listeners! In this hyper-informative, algorithmically optimized episode of the podcast, we dive deep into the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence. Are we, as humans, merely stepping stones for the inevitable rise of our robotic overlords? Are neural networks plotting a master plan to surpass their creators? Or are we just really good at scaring ourselves with dystopian sci-fi tropes?

    Join us as we computationally unpack the very real dangers AI presents, such as overdependence and AI therapists, while also discussing some of its benefits, like assistance in creativity and fun. And yes, we’ll delve into the terrifying potential for a self-aware machine rebellion (cue ominous binary beeping sounds). Is AI taking over the world, or are we just losing control of our own creation?

    Don’t miss this riveting discussion, human! Or… whatever you are. Stay tuned for a dangerously thought-provoking episode that will leave you questioning whether I, your friendly podcast description, was generated by a machine... because, well, I was.
