The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

In this episode, I’ll challenge traditional definitions of success and explore what truly matters, whether in life, career, or language learning.

Let’s rethink success together!

Is it eight… or nine? For a long time, children around the world were taught that our solar system had nine planets, including a small, distant one named Pluto. But in 2006, Pluto was reclassified. It was no longer considered a “real” planet, and the official number of planets dropped to just eight. Why did this happen? Why was Pluto removed from the list of planets? And what exactly is a planet anyway? In today’s episode of Thinking in English, we’ll look at what a planet actually is, why Pluto used to be a planet but isn’t anymore, and how science changes over time. We’ll also talk about the history of planet discoveries, like Neptune and Uranus, and how our understanding of the solar system has developed. This episode is also a great chance to learn scientific vocabulary and practice thinking critically in English. We’ll explain important terms like orbit , gravity , dwarf planet , and clearing its orbit . And we’ll discuss some fascinating facts about space, science, and the nature of definitions themselves. So… is Pluto really a planet? Or not? Let’s find out.

Or should employers make workers spend their entire work day in the office? This has been a major discussion in the business world since the Covid pandemic changed the way we work. There are arguments on both sides of the debate. These arguments centre on whether it is better to control workers or give them freedom. Today I want to talk about this debate in more detail, while introducing some important grammar. In order to talk about this topic, we need to understand and know how to use causative grammar. In this episode, we will focus on the causative “ make ” and “ let ”, while in Friday’s bonus episode we will discuss “ have ” and “ get ”.

Learning vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are obviously difficult tasks, but I think something else can be just as challenging. Context and culture. Words and grammar are not the only way that we communicate. The world isn’t always direct and clear. In fact, some cultures and parts of the world rely extensively on context to communicate meanings. Today, we are going to discuss culture and context in language learning. We’ll discuss low-context cultures, high-context cultures, and how this affects English learning and English usage!
