BHT Bytes – The High Stakes of Sports Betting: Behind the Hype & the Harm – Episode 415
11/27/2025
If 87% of profits come from 5% of gamblers, the game isn’t fair. It’s engineered. In this episode of BHT Bytes, hosts Sharlee Dixon and Peter Fenger take a compelling look at the rapid rise of sports betting and how it’s transforming our culture. Everywhere we turn, our phones, TVs, social feeds, even college campuses, gambling has become woven into the sports experience. But beneath the excitement and big-win promises lies a growing set of consequences that few are talking about. Sharlee and Peter trace how the 2018 repeal of PASPA opened the door to a multibillion-dollar industry powered by polished ads, real-time data, and instant-access betting apps. They discuss the psychological hooks, VIP tactics, and predatory strategies that keep people wagering, even when it’s no longer fun. With addiction rates climbing, athletes facing new risks, and young people being pulled into betting earlier than ever, this episode asks an urgent question: What happens when an entire generation grows up seeing gambling as just part of the game? This is a grounded, eye-opening conversation about the line between entertainment and harm, and why recognizing the darker side of sports betting has never been more important.

Comfort numbs us. Connection heals us. In this episode, Peter Fenger sits down with Mo Edjlali, founder and CEO of Mindful Leader, the world’s largest provider of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training. A former computer engineer with a career that began at NASA and in the tech world, Mo turned to mindfulness after a startup collapse forced him to confront life, loss, and what really matters. Since then, he has certified over 550 facilitators, launched the global Meditate Together community, and become both a leading voice for mindfulness and a critical voice about its modern pitfalls. Mo’s new book, “Open MBSR,” reimagines mindfulness for today, trauma-aware, inclusive, and community-driven.

BHT Bytes – Bridging the Gaps in Recovery: The Role of Peer Support Specialists – Episode 409
10/28/2025
In this episode of BHT Bytes, hosts Peter Fenger and Sharlee Dixon dive into the world of peer recovery specialists, the unsung heroes of addiction and mental health recovery. These are people who’ve lived through substance use challenges themselves or supported loved ones through them, and now use that experience to guide others toward healing and stability. With over 49 million Americans reporting substance use disorders and more than 100,000 overdose deaths in 2022, peer specialists are filling critical gaps across hospitals, courts, and communities. They offer what clinical care alone often can’t: empathy born from experience, mentorship grounded in shared struggle, and the kind of hope that comes from having walked the same path. Peter and Sharlee explore what makes peer recovery work unique, how certification and training shape the profession, and why funding cuts threaten a workforce that’s proven to save lives. From questions of quality and access to the broader cultural shift toward seeing recovery as a shared journey, this episode unpacks what’s at stake, and what the future of peer support could look like.

The Five S's of Safety: Empowering Women Through Intentional Psychedelic Exploration with Linden Schaffer – Episode 403
9/30/2025
Psychedelics offer a fresh snowfall over old patterns, but only you can decide how to sled down the mountain. Education and community are essential guides for that journey. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon speaks with Linden Schaffer, an award-winning wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and expert with over 20 years of experience in the wellness and psychedelic spaces. Linden is the founder of Reveal, a global online community for women, and co-founder of the Los Angeles Women's Psychedelic Community, both dedicated to creating safe and informed spaces for exploration and healing. As a member of the Global Psychedelic Society team, she advocates for responsible and inclusive practices in the psychedelic movement. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Condé Nast Traveler, and ABC News, and she has spoken on stages including The New York Times Travel Show and Google Talks. In this conversation, Linden dismantles common misconceptions about psychedelics, explains her Five S's framework for safety (screening, set, setting, support, and sustainability), and discusses why these medicines require more than a one-time experience. We explore how psychedelics can address women's unique mental health challenges—from hormonal transitions to societal pressures, and why preparation, integration, and community support are non-negotiable for transformative healing. Whether you're curious, experienced, or supporting someone on this path, this episode offers practical wisdom for navigating psychedelic spaces with intention, agency, and informed consent.
