    How to Learn to Love Math feat. Mina Neuberg
    Nov 13 2025
    This week on Schauer Thoughts we have a special guest - please give a warm welcome to Mina Neuberg, CEO of WonderMath! Also, this episode is NOT an ad, I am not being paid, I just really love math and wanted to discuss learning and executive functioning with the executive putting the “fun” in functional learning. No but seriously, math is incredibly important and I appreciate y’all listening and *hopefully* expanding the communal comfort zone!

    Regular & Hypnotic Shower Thoughts
    Nov 5 2025
    Today’s Schauer Thoughts are a little smattering of everything with hypnotic speech for desert. Nod your head ‘yes’ if that sounds like a good time, shake your head ‘no’ if that sounds like a bad time. You’ve been a lovely audience, make sure to tip your waiter, as well as visit coat check to put your clothes back on. And once again, run this episode and related resources by your therapist or mental health provider so your sense of self can relieve oneself. “That was a stretch.” Exactly, you get it.

  • A Refreshing Take on “Brain Rot”

    A Refreshing Take on “Brain Rot”
    Oct 29 2025
    This week we’re tackling brain rot, brain fog, social media addiction, and stopping to smell the roses! Join me on a cognitive journey to the land of untapped and undervalued sensory input, the nose. Remember, this is about a harm reduction method, it alone will not “cure” you - also feel free to run absolutely all of this by a licensed medical professional and thoroughly review the resources for yourself. As always, it’s been a pleasure having you in the communal Schauer, I hope my STEAM (du-dun-tss) of consciousness (and extended research) provides some refreshing mental clarity.
