Billy Joel Cancels Tour After Diagnosis of Rare Brain Disorder [Video]

Watch/Read More

Billy Joel has canceled all remaining shows after being diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus. Doctors say concert performances have exacerbated his condition, “leading to programs with hearing, vision and balance.”

Joel’s most recent show dates back to Feb. 22 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. A few weeks later, he announced a four-month break from the road to deal with an unspecified “medical condition” that required surgery and physical therapy.

“I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience,” Joel said in a new statement, “and thank you for understanding.”

Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a disorder where excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. “It is often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease,” according to the association. “In fact, less than 20 percent of people with the disease are properly diagnosed.”

Why Marketing Feels Gross (And How to Make It Feel Better) [Video]

Why does marketing your therapy practice feel so gross sometimes? In this episode, we’re unpacking the ick behind marketing — especially for therapists. From the pressure to "sell yourself" to the vulnerability of showing up authentically, it's no wonder so many of us feel weird about it. I’ll share a satirical skit (hello, 90s infomercial energy 💥📞) and some honest reflections on why it’s so hard to put ourselves out there — and how we can do it in a way that actually feels good. Spoiler: you don’t need to be “special” to have something meaningful to offer. Whether you’re new to private practice or just trying to make peace with self-promotion, I hope this episode feels like a supportive nudge toward showing up as your full, human self.
