Anxiety used to be understood as something you felt, not something you had – at least that’s how I understood it until the point in life where I just couldn’t grasp the bigness of everything and couldn’t shake the sense of impending doom. So I kept productive and outran those feelings, which made things better… until it didn’t. Running can’t solve those problems. As Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary puts it, “The key to feeling good is knowing how to feel bad.” She’s the author of https://www.drtracyphd.com/future-tense (Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Good for You (Even Though It Feels Bad)), and if you’re anxious about your anxiety then she’s someone you need to listen to.

The world of wellness has changed a lot from the 90s – when my mom would make do, sweating it out with Jane Fonda, the occasional doubles tennis match, or Jazzercising with friends. Now we have so many more options to stay healthy and feel well at our fingertips: infrared saunas, intermittent fasting, cryotherapy, somatic therapy, IV drips, and more. We have more information, more access to it, and more opportunities than ever to take care of ourselves. But we also have more to contend with than ever before. With everything from social media to the toxic hustle mentality, we need all the help we can get. Dr. Laura DeCesaris is a functional medicine-trained health strategist who helps female entrepreneurs, career women, and otherwise highly motivated people around the world.

This Parenthood Remix goes a bit off the rails. But you know what? We’re going to give ourselves some grace because that’s what this episode is all about. As parents, you’re constantly bombarded with advice – solicited or otherwise. And with advice comes the implication – intended or not – that you’re not doing things right. Look, there’s no “right” way to parent, and we’re all doing the best we can. So we’re going to take look at what it means to cut yourself some slack when you fall short of perfection. How about celebrating the fact that you’ve survived another day of the hardest job in the world – even if it means having to use fart jokes or sexual innuendo along the way?

So you have your first baby, fresh out of the oven, in your hands for the first time. You’re feeling all of the emotions, from the highest highs to the lowest lows. Then, some well-meaning relative pops in and says “When’s number two on the way?” without even giving your lady parts time to rest. And let me tell you, the question never stops coming—and if it does, it only gets replaced by “Why’d you stop at one?” There are some weird cultural expectations around kids, and when you go against the grain you start to get some odd looks. We’re going to explore what some of those expectations are, why we decided to be “one and done,” and share two pieces of game-changing parenting advice we received early on that we were grateful to hear.

Diane Macedo is no stranger to the life of a night owl. As an early morning reporter and overnight news anchor and correspondent for ABC News, Diane learned the hard way how valuable sleep is. The longer she struggled to get it, the more her health began to deteriorate. When sleep pills no longer worked, she used her journalistic prowess to interview sleep experts one after another to get to the bottom of what keeps us from sleeping. This resulted in her book, The Sleep Fix, a sensible snooze bible that anyone can tailor to their specific sleep needs. We talk about what went into researching it, why so much sleep advice completely misses the mark, and, most importantly, what you can do to ensure you get a good night’s rest.

Over her decades as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Mona Delahooke has been on the other end of tired and distraught parents at their wits’ ends as they struggle to manage their children's relentless, volatile, and often rebellious behaviors. In most cases, parents come to Mona looking to correct or improve their children's emotional landscape, only to be met with a new perspective – one that will not only support said child's behavior, but regulate and support the parent's nervous system as well. In Mona’s latest book, Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids, she helps parents understand what lies beneath the surface of their child’s behavior with a bottom-up approach sure to help parents and kids alike thrive. We dive into her background, her own experience being a parent, and why anyone managing to survive these past two years deserves a freaking award.

Mental health, once a taboo topic rarely talked about in the open, is quickly becoming one of the biggest discussions of our time. The past decade has brought about a more open, less stigmatized dialogue and we are seeing a paradigm shift in public attitudes surrounding mental health in general. Thanks to people like Ellen Vora, MD, those discussions are getting a lot more helpful as well. She wrote the bible on anxiety, “The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body’s Fear Response,” and her approach is – by my estimation – exactly what many of us need.

The pandemic has taken an immense emotional toll on humankind. It’s thrown all of us into unprecedented situations – such as the changes to living, working, and schooling from home. Understandably, that’s put serious pressure on some relationships. Families may welcome the opportunity to spend more time together, but confined, existing flaws are only going to become harder to ignore. Aparna Sagaram joins us to discuss where we go from here, what makes some couples thrive, and others just barely survive (or not).

Over the history of this podcast, some of our most resonant episodes were the conversations I had with Micah about parenting – the raw, real talk about what it is to have a child. So we’re making this a recurring event – The Parenthood Remix – where, once a month, Micah and I will dedicate our discussion to the moms, dads, and caretakers who take on this job, day after day, and do the best they can. We’re going to look at “the big lie,” why we overlook how intensely difficult parenting is as a culture, and how to remain confident and sane through it all.

There are some tragedies in life that you could never imagine happening to you – until they do. And the sad truth is, they could come for any of us, which only highlights how precious our time on earth really is.  Karine’s emotional story is one that truly highlights this. A mother of three, Karine lost her husband, at just 42-years old, in a boating accident. But that is not the end of her story, it is just the beginning. Karine is a talented and successful writer and entrepreneur. Her background in filmmaking and storytelling became a powerful outlet for her grief process. She shares the difficult process of learning to live again after loss, how to want more from life, and how to see the wholeness of ourselves.

Caroline Dooner is an incredible humorist, storyteller, and the author of The Fuck It Diet. She’s got a lot to say, and it’s all stuff you probably need to hear.  Her upcoming book, Tired as Fuck, is an exploration of burnout at the hands of diet, self-help, and hustle culture. Chances are, you’ve experienced (or are experiencing) burnout, and you don’t even know it. We all know the word, but it’s something so few of us really understand.  Believe it or not, the symptoms of burnout often aren’t tiredness. They’re usually more like dread, apathy, depression, an inability to focus, and feelings of laziness. If you can relate, tune in, because this episode is for you.

This episode is gonna be a bunch of bullshit. Cause guess what? It’s the first episode of the year and I’m fresh on the other end of a COVID diagnosis. Things are heavy out here, so all I can hope for is to start your year out with some laughs. It’s 2022, which is not all that different from 2021, so far, except that the plastic bags inside of cereal boxes are infinitely harder to open and pickle jars vastly easier than ever before.

It was nearly one year ago that the immensely talented Becky Robinson first graced this podcast with her presence. Since that time, her stardom has only (deservedly) shot upward. Following in the footsteps of Gilda Radner, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, and Kristen Wiig, Becky is the next best thing to happen to comedy. We talk about how she’s reckoning with her meteoric rise, taking time to breathe and assess her wins, the ups and downs of being back out in the world, and getting sick of White Claw.

There is something going on in the universe, that’s for sure. Uncertainty is all around us. For once, wouldn’t it be nice to start a new year with downhill momentum, coasting into confident growth, success, and enlightenment? This conversion unlocks that lofty possibility.  The intuitive sherpa on our journey into the new year is none other than Dani Beinstein, a previous OTR guest and fan favorite. She’s part navigator, part explorer, and part homebase for all of us. She’s here to help lighten the load as we head into 2022 and to let us know that it’s okay to live in the gray area.

Can you believe it? 2022 is already knocking at the front door. After everything we went through collectively in 2020, this year brought on some amazing conversations as people felt the urge to open up and express themselves and their new truths. We round out the year by revisiting two of our best episodes, continuing with Amanda Montell. Sometimes, big questions need to be asked. Who are we as humans? What is our intrinsic value to one another? Why do we want humans by our side? Is it out of desire, obligation, validation, or true necessity? And, what does Amanda Montell have to do with any of this? In a recent interview with https://www.salon.com/2021/06/16/from-workplaces-to-politics-to-instagram-influencers-cultish-language-is-everywhere/ (Salon Magazine), Amanda breaks down the way that cultish rhetoric causes us not to empathize with one another or see others as human. We see people as “other” if they don’t align perfectly with our rapidly narrowing ideologies. It’s important to know the cultish language that makes us feel so confident in our own beliefs and that everyone else’s are not only wrong, but morally inferior.
