When Cheryl Kemeny, founder of Crystal Theatre, the theater company Heidi grew up in, reached out soon after Heidi moved back to CT, to see if she’d participate in a 35th anniversary benefit performance, Heidi had no idea how it would go. But, as three-time Off The Gram Podcast guest, Dr. Darria Long Gillespie, told her in their CrossFlow Yoga x Trueve Labs collaboration, doing something that you have mastery in - for Heidi that was singing- brings back your sense of accomplishment, confidence, and that feeling of “I’ve got this”, which is a total recharge.

Alopecia took center stage, literally, when Will Smith seemingly slapped Chris Rock for cracking a joke about his wife Jada's bald head. The 50-year-old actress had previously been open about her experience with hair loss, even posting a video on Instagram discussing her struggle and decision to shave her head. She wrote, "Mamma's gonna have to take it down to the scalp so nobody thinks she got brain surgery or something. Me and this alopecia are going to be friends...period."
She went on to say in a video, "Now at this point, I can only laugh," running her finger across a bald line patch along the center of her scalp. But you can see it in her eyes: Excessive hair loss is no laughing matter for Jada, nor the nearly 7 million people in the United States who develop the condition annually.
In this special episode, first, we’ll hear from TEDx speaker McKenna Reitz, who like Jada, lost all of her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes included, due to Alopecia. She'll share her journey before we bring on Dr. Helena Kuhn, MD, an assistant professor of dermatology at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, who specializes in hair disorders. She’ll explain common causes of hair loss, when to see a doctor, treatment options, prevention, and more.
LISTEN TO THIS SHOW IF:
- You had no clue Alopecia was an autoimmune disease that affects nearly 2% of the population—men and women equally—and need the 411 STAT
- You’re terrified you could develop Alopecia and want to know the risk factors and common causes
- You've experienced some thinning and shedding of your own and would like practical tips for keeping your hair healthy
- You’re ready to be inspired by an alopecia warrior who has a knack for reframing life’s challenges into gifts and opportunities

Michelle Park is an Emmy-award winning broadcast journalist and correspondent for NBC New York…but her most important role is as the mama to two adorable little girls, ages 3 and 6. As a health + lifestyle correspondent for NBC and beyond, Michelle found herself constantly worrying about them as it pertains to food, diet culture, and body positivity… and wondering how they will grow up amidst a world that is so often poised to tell us “we’re not doing it right.”
Add to that the nuances of her Korean culture and the pressures of being an on-air personality (where every part of our outward appearance is constantly evaluated and critiqued) and you have a recipe for a mama-worry-fest.

Our guest today is Chloe Dulce Louvouezo who shares powerful storytelling insight from her book Life, I Swear: Intimate Stories from Black Women on Identity, Healing and Self-Trust (HarperCollins Nov 2nd). Her work curates an anthology of stories from modern-day Black women, sharing their truth around self-reflection and healing. In a time when we are all reckoning with racial divide and seeking to amplify Black voices in a way that impacts, this storytelling vessel is just the tool we all need to mend & transcend complex issues around race + gender… because what Chloe proves is - at the end of the day - these are stories about the universal experience of self-love, healing, growth, and LIFE.

When a US state can mandate that a 12-year old girl carry the pregnancy forced upon her by a racist to term, endure pregnancy and delivery, BUT, the state can NOT mandate that same girl wear a mask at school, because THAT is too great a burden for the state to impose, it is no wonder that so many are saying anti-abortion laws are a war on women. We are bringing back the amazing Dr. Kameelah Phillips to lend her expertise and knowledge, and give some clarity on exactly who and what has rights, and WHAT we can do to change the tide.
LISTEN TO THIS SHOW IF:
- You want to know more about reproductive rights and how they are ch-ch-changing in the US
- You don’t fully understand when an embryo gains more rights that a woman

Shelly Tygielski (aka @mindfulskatergirl) is a an internationally renowned meditation leader, motivational speaker, and self-care activist who helps people connect their inner work to the outer world. We’ll talk about her buzzy new book Sit Down to Rise Up: How Radical Self-Care Can Change the World. Chelsea Handler wrote the foreword and President Biden endorsed Shelly saying she’s “saving people’s lives…and giving them hope.”
Listen to this episode if you agree that we are all interconnected and when one of us heals, we all heal. You believe self-care isn’t self-centered but truly a selfless act. And you’d like to join the ranks of Debra Messing, Kelly Clarkson, Kristen Bell, Kelly Ripa, Senator Cory Booker, Dr. Jill Biden any many more in supporting Pandemic of Love (pandemicoflove.com), a global, grassroots, mutual aid organization started by Shelly from her kitchen table in March 2020.
The three of us co-hosts are all moms. "Momprenuers." WORKER BEES. In addition to running this show, we each have about a hundred different jobs… so basically… we are. SO. EFFING. TIRED. So we knew we had to invite the fabulous Dr. Amy Shah (@fastingmd) onto the show to talk about her book called - are you ready for this? - “I’m So Effing Tired; A proven plan to beat burnout, boost your energy, and reclaim your life.”
Listen today if:
- You are sick and tired of being sick and tired
- You always feel like you’re at the end of your rope
- You’re clueless about how much sleep you should actually be getting
- You want to have the energy you see other folks have… but don’t even believe it’s possible for you.
Aja Naomi King is a wife, mother, advocate, and - of course - a talented actress best known for her role as Michaela Pratt in How to Get Away with Murder. But despite slaying professionally (dozens of TV & Film roles and accolades like winning the "Rising Star Award" at the Essence Black Women In Hollywood event), it wasn’t always easy.
Life happens… and even though Aja was talented & tough, there were also insecurities to overcome… some were amplified as a Black woman due to beauty culture’s lack of representation. It stung, and it subtly, subconsciously stuck with her… and she became determined to help re-shape society to empower women of all races to feel celebrated, supported, and seen… and she found the perfect way to do it when she partnered with L’Oréal Paris to help amplify the message that “We’re Worth It.” Today, this bombshell powerhouse believes in her own self-worth... and she’s on a mission to help you believe in yours too. Tune in!

Today's guest on OTG is Laurie Gelman. If the last name sounds familiar, it’s because Laurie’s husband is the legendary TV producer Michael Gelman of Live with Kelly & Ryan. Little known fact, Laurie actually spent 25 years as a broadcaster here and in her native Canada before trying her hand at writing novels. We'll talk about her best-selling Class Mom and the hi-larious follow-ups in the series You’ve Been Volunteered and now Yoga Pant Nation. We'll also get the scoop on the advice Kelly Ripa gave Laurie that she didn't take and Laurie's description of the ideal mate for the very single Ryan Seacrest.
Listen in if: You need a nudge to chase your dreams, could use a few words of wisdom from a sometimes snarky mom boss who managed to raise two awesome daughters...and wouldn’t mind a little Kelly & Ryan inside scoop.
Welcome to an all-new season of Off the Gram. Everything works better after you unplug it, including this podcast. We’re thrilled to be together again after a much-needed summer break.
Tune in to this episode for a big show shake-up and then and incredible interview with Rabbi Steve Leder the author of The Beauty of What Remains. As the head of one of the world’s largest synagogues, and a rabbi who has presided at more than a thousand funerals, Steve Leder thought he knew how to cope with death—until his father died. It was then that Steve Leder the Rabbi became Steve Leder the son; facing his own experience of love, regret, and pain in a more personal and intimate way than ever before. What he discovered was life changing: in death we do not lose—we actually gain more than we ever imagined. Listen to this show if: You’ve lost someone you love and are grieving or want to help a friend who’s hurting. And keep the tissues handy!
As I'm coming off a sugar-filled summer (lots of wine! all the ice cream!) and feeling like I need a reset, I'll be busting out @michprom book Sugar Free 3 and relistening to this episode. On the show we talk about her revolutionary plan which is based on the latest research and science. It's not a diet. It's not a detox. It's not a cleanse. It’s a genius three-week program to reset your entire approach to food and eating for improved wellness, more energy, sounder sleep, better-looking skin, and healthy weight loss—without counting calories. Who doesn't need that after hot girl summer?!
I've known the fellow Jersey girl for nearly 30 years and she is aging in reverse. If getting "sugar smart" has that Peter Pan effect, sign me up! Michele has spent the last decade at the forefront of the newest research about how sugar and artificial sweeteners affect your mind and body. (She was the award-winning editor-in-chief of Women's Health and Cosmo and now the Editorial-Director-at-Large for @thewell.) What she discovered was that added sweeteners are at the center of every major and minor health crisis, from the ones you'd guess—like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes—to the ones that might surprise you, like acne, bad moods, digestion, and sleep loss. Listen in to explore why sugar makes you gain weight (and get sick), where it’s lurking, and how to live happier and healthier without it.

Over the last year many of us have tried to “reinvent” ourselves, pivot and strive to put our best foot forward but were left feeling more confused on matters of self-discovery & personal success than before.
Christine chose our latest #BestofSummerSeries episode because she’s a big believer that we all have our own inner sparkle that shines though if we follow our hearts, stay true to ourselves and let the magic happen. Evolution is the name of the game and sometimes all we need are some tools, a plan, and our own energetic spark to light that fire!

Ironically for our co-host Jamie - like many - coming out of lockdown and going back into "reality" is proving just as hard as the initial quarantine time, from a mental standpoint! Jamie knows many people can relate, so she chose the OTG interview with ABC News legend, Dan Harris, for the next in our summer "best of" series.
Why? Well, Harris is famous for many things, but perhaps most of all for having a panic attack on live television while co-hosting on Good Morning America several years back... it was then that Dan knew he had to change something in his life. Despite his self-professed “allergy to all things touchy-feely and New Age-y,” he realized he had to open his mind to new options. This realization led him to discover the science-backed secret to feeling 10% happier: MEDITATION.
The lessons he learned led him to create a best-selling book and a podcast (his first guest was the Dalai Lama, no big deal!), all called "10% Happier," and we are grateful to bring his episode back to the surface to help us re-enter the world as happy, healthy, & sane as possible.

When Meaghan, her 3 kids, husband and 71-year-old mom tested positive for COVID-19 back in February, Dr. Darria Long was Team Murphy’s first call. The Harvard + Yale-trained ER doctor had already been on OTG to talk the co-hosts through all things COVID-19 and now she would play a vital role in the family’s healing, providing the ultimate recovery toolkit.

One of our first OTG guests way back in Jan of 2020 is one of Christine’s idols, both in fashion and in life!
Norma Kamali is a fearless powerhouse who’s been in the fashion business for 53 years and is the ORIGINAL wellness influencer who sought out alternative wellness methods looong before it was #hashtag. Back in her fashion editor days, Christine worked with Norma featuring her uber-cool style creations in the mags and on TV including the sleeping bag coat, the start of casual sportswear; high heeled sneakers, and swimwear that every woman wanted to rock.
But what Christine most admires is Norma’s ability to reinvent herself with relevance and grace as she ages in this competitive industry. Norma talks with us about the fallacy of the “timeline” and the insane pressure in today’s culture to achieve “everything” by 30.... and what you should focus on instead.
Tune in and get inspired!

Since Team OTG is on summer hiatus (pass the poolside mojito, please!), each co-hosts is taking a turn picking a weekly "best of" episode to re-release, and explain why that show sticks out as an all-time fave!
Jamie kicks us off, with her pick: an episode released in December 2020 with iconic guest, Carson Kressley. This episode still makes Jamie smile, because the topic was REINVENTION - and after bravely exiting a 20 year public relations career to pursue her passion for wellness (we're glad she did!), it's a topic that rings loudly to Jamie... and if anyone knows about reinventing themselves over and over (and over!), it's Carson!!
As an Emmy-Award winning TV personality who's gone from Queer Eye to Dancing with the Stars and everything in between(!), Carson has mastered the art of the refresh, and has done it with grace & charm. We're excited to resurface this fun interview to kick off our Summer Best-Of Series!!

It’s safe to say that Jordan Younger is one of the most well-known names in wellness. After choosing to part with her early identity as “The Blond Vegan” (a move which incited international controversy!), Younger has always been a bold, curious, courageous, "Wellness-Work-in-Progress"… however, after falling mysteriously ill, she became a whole new kind of “seeker,” as often happens when life throws an unexpected curveball.
From diagnosis to treatment to healing, she began sharing her powerful story around a topic on which she never intended to become an expert: Lyme disease. Her Lyme journey delivered to her a new - albeit “accidental” - purpose: to inspire others not just in wellness, but through resilience + recovery too.
Tune in to hear it all - the good, the bad, and the “celestial” - from this best-selling author, well-known blogger, and Forbes acclaimed podcaster.

I think we can all agree that the past year has been eye-opening on so many levels with regards to race in America. From devastation came growth, and an expanded dialogue around equality.
As we approach Juneteenth this weekend, we are thrilled to welcome the amazing Julee Wilson, Beauty Director of Cosmopolitan. Julee is one of the strongest, most positive voices & role models for women in general, and especially for women of color. We love her message of real beauty, her challenge to companies to do better, and her intentional mindset to always “stand in her dopeness.”
Julee was one of the early definers of the cultural concept known as “Black Girl Magic,” and we can’t think of a better human to help us celebrate the beauty, power and resilience of Black women, today and every day. When she’s not making magazines, delivering beauty advice to her 68k+ followers on @missjulee, or shaping cultural paradigms, she can be found raising her two adorable littles - because this #momboss does it all!

Emma Heming Willis is a model, entrepreneur... oh, and she happens to be married to the one-and-only Bruce Willis! Every time this cool-mom dynamo pops up in our Instagram feeds, we think: “I want to be friends with her!” Why? After a 20+ year career in fashion (gracing the pages of Vogue and the runways of Lagerfeld, Armani, and Dior), she made the ultimate pivot: she married Bruce, started a family, and became an advocate for WOMEN in all the right ways.
She advocates for babies born into poverty, founded an all-natural vegan skincare line for expectant moms called CocoBaba, and has a beautiful outlook on self-care, sisterhood, & female solidarity. Heck, she’s even friends with her hubby’s ex (yup, Demi Moore!) and they’ve all happily blended their families. If that’s not #GirlGoals we don’t know what is!
Tune in to hear her tips on life, love, being a WFH badass… and find out who “Lisa” is and why Emma thinks we should all banish her to outer space!

Do you ever feel like every workout plan is destined to fail eventually? Our guest today, Biggest Loser trainer, Brett Hoebel, believes that if you want lasting results, you need emotional attachments to your lifestyle choices. But… what does that mean exactly?
Brett believes the most important thing when it comes to changing your body is to walk your talk. As he likes to say, “The dumbbell and the diet don’t just change you…your accountability and belief in yourself do.” His approach to live a mindful, healthy life starts by looking inward and changing yourself from the inside.

We've all heard plenty about the negativity bias in our brain. But, did you know that we actually have the power and ability to retrain and reprogram our body to crave happy neurochemicals instead of cortisol (the stress hormone)?!
Radha Agrawal and Dr. Dacher Keltner are 4 months into collecting data on how dance and other modalities improve joy. They have developed a Happiness Quiz - the first comprehensive brain-body quiz that looks at multiple areas of your life and based on your answers delivers a "joy prescription" with what happy neurochemicals you need more support with. You can then "fill your prescription" with daily practices and activities designed to meet those needs such as breath work, yoga, forest bathing.

In our new COVID/WFH reality, boundaries are more important than ever. Boundaries, what boundaries…? EXACTLY. Because we ALLLL need help here, we are bringing back the boundary NINJA herself, psychotherapist Terri Cole.
In her new book, “Boundary Boss”, releasing April 20th, Terri teaches a specific set of skills that can help us stop abandoning ourselves for the sake of others (without guilt or drama) and consciously become empowered in every aspect of our emotional, physical, personal, and professional lives. Yes, PLEASE!
Most of us were never taught how to effectively express our preferences, desires, or deal- breakers. Instead, we hide our feelings behind passive-aggressive behavior, deny our own truths, or push our emotions down until we get depressed or so frustrated that we explode, potentially destroying hard-won trust and relationships. In order to avoid all of that unpleasantry, and live our best lives, we need to know: how can we become boundary bosses TOO?!

Over the past year, we’ve all been hit hard with the 24/7 news cycle blaring into our living rooms. We sat with our eyes glued to the TV, terrified we’d miss SOMETHING. But, with everything being deemed “breaking news,” are we really just setting ourselves up for a constant state of anxiety? Are we truly INFORMED or are we all guilty of ambulance chasing with our eyeballs?
We’re joined by Jessica Yellin, former Chief White House Correspondent for CNN - to discuss why she walked away from a powerful news career to forge something entirely new: her platform, “News, Not Noise,” which helps us become conscious news consumers, armed with the ability to discern sensationalism from the things that truly matter to us in our daily lives.
Jessica calls her platform “...an on-ramp for people who aren’t watching the news and a distilling center for people who are watching so much news they are overwhelmed."

Last week, the one-and-only Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt joined us as our guest for our second ever “Off the Gram LIVE!” Our audience logged on to watch our chat with the New York Times best-selling author about her latest book, The Gift of Forgiveness, releasing on paperback this week.

As many of you may have seen on Insta, our co-host, Meaghan, is recovering from COVID. Her hubs, 3 kids and 70-year-old mom were all infected with the virus and it was harrrrrrd. The toughest part? While there’s plenty of clear PREVENTATIVE info (wear a mask, wash your hands, socially distance, etc)... she discovered that once they tested positive, they felt CLUELESS. The information about exactly what to do once infected is simply not "out there" and it left Meaghan feeling helpless, terrified & alone, all while "wearing a big Scarlett Letter C." Nervous about her asthma and history of pneumonia, Meaghan remembered our earlier podcast recording with the fabulous Dr. Darria - Yale-trained emergency room physician, Harvard Medical School faculty, and on-air medical expert for CNN, NBC, & Dr. Oz - so she DM'ed her. The result? A clear road map to recovery. We love that Dr. Darria helped our Meags in her darkest hour... that's something you never forget! We’re beyond excited to have the top doc back today to share her smart, actionable advice for coping with COVID.

According to the CDC, 6 in 10 US adults have a chronic disease. 4 in 10 US adults live with two or more. Hard to diagnose, they often "come & go" leaving others wonder if “their condition” is all in their head, a desperately frustrating feeling for those who suffer.
Our guest today, Nitika Chopra, has lived her entire life with chronic illness. She went from feeling isolated and wondering about her purpose, to making it her mission to raise awareness, educate people on, and empower people with chronic illness. She's the founder of "Chronicon," a community focused on those living with a chronic illness, and inspired others through education, advocacy, & a message of empowerment.

Daphne Oz is known for many things (TV personality, best-selling author, chart-topping podcast host), but redefining modern motherhood most of all. As one of television’s most recognizable faces (The Chew, The Dish on Oz, FOX’s MasterChef), it’s hard to believe that Daphne is also a mother of FOUR!!
We chat about maintaining that fragile balance between health, happiness, sanity, & success, including releasing the pressure to make her “self-care” look perfect. What does she do instead? She keeps it simple, crediting a magic mix of the “unconventional'' (making pancakes for lunch!) and “basics” (a solid vitamin regimen). Tune in!

Tune in!

Alli Webb wears many hats... mom, NYT-bestselling author, podcast co-host, and co-founder of mega-category-disruptor DryBar and the innovative Squeeze. She has been named one of the “100 Most Creative People in Business” by Fast Company; featured on Fortune magazine’s “40 Under 40” list; recognized by Inc Magazine as one of the “100 Women Building America’s Most Innovative and Ambitious Businesses,” and she’s even been featured as a guest Shark on ABC’s SharkTank!!
So we HAD to ask her: in this era when women can supposedly “have it all” but are often still afraid to ask for (and fight for!) their worth, how did she - a self-proclaimed former “under-acheiver” - learn how to BUILD AN EMPIRE??!

Today is our official KICK OFF to VDAY SHOW!! We have a jam-packed extravaganza all about love… so buckle your seatbelts!
First up, we talk: SEX TOYS!! (Did we get your attention yet??) After we cool down from that chat, we discuss the notion of “marketing yourself” to manifest romance with Holly Parker, celebrity Realtor and author of "Back on the Market: A Realtor's Guide to Love and Life.”
And finally, Jordana Abraham, co-founder of Betches Media, joins us to talk about her new dating app, “Ship,” and what it’s like to date in the age of social media.

Living publicly on social media seems glamorous from the outside… a curated “best-of” reel detailing our smiles, smoothies, and golden hour selfies. But what about the other side… the ugly side of it all? Today, we’re joined by Gabbie Hanna, Billboard-charting music artist, vlogger and YouTuber with upwards of a combined 20 million followers.
Gabbie’s new book, Dandelion, which recently debuted #5 on the New York Times bestseller’s list, is a raw - sometimes uncomfortably honest - collection of illustrated poetry that takes readers on what’s essentially Gabbie’s mental health journey from self-loathing to self-acceptance. Gabbie got real with us - we talk haters, cyber bullies, cancel culture, and more… we take a wild ride with this cutie pie, so buckle up!

Today is our second installment of: CO-HOST SPOTLIGHT!! We interviewed our gal Jamie Hess to talk about “loving your hustle,” because truly no one does it better than her! Jamie spent two decades as a high-level Public Relations pro with clients including W Hotels Worldwide, LinkedIn, McDonald’s, Barry’s Bootcamp, and many more.
Over time, she found that her favorite clients were always those in the health + fitness space, and she yearned to pursue that area full-time… and thus, @NYCfitfam was born! Her instagram account-turned-360-lifestyle-brand led her to being named one of the "7 Fittest Couples on Instagram" by Women's Health, and eventually gave birth to her current career on television. But we wanted to know… what is her “special sauce” for growing her business, how has she applied learnings from the corporate world into “influencer life,” and most importantly... how the hell does she maintain ALL THAT energy & passion while balancing six jobs, one husband, two kids, and a pandemic?? TUNE IN!!

Today’s show is about PERSPECTIVE. We all watched in horror as 2020 dragged on, and JUST when we thought things couldn’t get worse….. BOOM.
Geneva S. Thomas is not only one of our girl crushes for being the ultimate #BOSSBABE, but she delivers the kind of message that we ALL need to hear right now. Media titan, champion for women of culture, and boundary pusher, we’ve had our eye on Geneva and her powerful message for a while now, especially her unique ability to always identify the “TEACHING MOMENT.”
We were craving some REAL TALK with Geneva to help us move forward together. No matter where you sit culturally, socially, politically and beyond… EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US should be asking … HOW we can do the hard work to “put this all back together”… and to leave it better than it was before.

IT’S OUR ONE YEAR POD-A-VERSARY!!! Over the past year, we’ve jumped into the trenches together to live our best lives, channel our inner #girlboss, and navigate the ever changing landscapes of wellness & social media… and today in celebration, our show is about HAPPINESS! 2020 threw us all for a loop, and we are determined to make 2021 amazing. We’re joined by Hilary Sheinbaum, author of The Dry Challenge, and Dana-Maxx Pomerantz, founder of The Be Happy Project, to chat about ways we can all “take the reins” and start steering this dang cart on a different path.
We are honored you’ve shared our first year together and we can’t wait to continue the ride together in ‘21. Here’s to dreaming big, lifting each other up, & always remaining curious and teachable, TOGETHER.

It's here y'all.... 2021!!! Ring the bells, the year of insanity is behind us... so does that mean the dark veil will lift and everything will be easy breezy??
With so much uncertainty as we step onto a "fresh palette," most of us just want to know what energetic color we should put on our paintbrush to start decorating the year with good vibes, health, & prosperity! Good thing we've called on the BEST IN THE BIZ to help us look at the year through an astrological lens and make some predictions: THE ASTRO TWINS, aka Opira & Tali Edut.
This adorable power duo (yes, they're identical twins!) are the creators of the "Astrostyle" site & the official astrologers for ELLE magazine, where they bring the stars down to earth with their lifestyle coaching based approach to horoscopes, and we're grateful to have them here today on Off the Gram to help us frame up: WHAT THE HECK CAN WE EXPECT FROM 2021??

We’re all ready to wave “BYE FELICIA” to 2020, and step into 2021 with a spirit of reinvention. If anyone knows how to refresh, revitalize, and reinvent, it’s Emmy-Award winning TV personality, Carson Kressley!
As someone who has enjoyed such an incredible long-standing career (from “Queer Eye” to Dancing with the Stars and everything in between!), Carson has mastered the art of the refresh, and has done it with grace & charm. We just knew our audience would love to hear about his journey, especially as we go into what is perhaps the most longed-for New Year’s week ever!!

Heading towards the New Year is ALWAYS a good time to shake off the old and welcome in the new, so today we talk REINVENTION with Rebecca Minkoff. 2020 caused many of us to reinvent a business, brand, or the way we earn a living, and Rebecca had been an A+ case study in successfully navigating that pivot.
On today’s show, she “spills the tea” on her secrets to success and her ability to “reinvent & reimagine” while staying authentic and true to her core brand DNA. Tune in for her tips on how to stay relevant & ever-evolving, and how we can all learn from 2020 for a fresh start!

If there’s one thing we’re all looking to do better - NO MATTER WHO WE ARE! - it’s finding balance. The juggle is real, amirite???
Nev hit the ground running in his twenties after Catfish and never looked back… now, as a producer, author, performer, content creator, husband, and father, he has more balls in the air than anyone we know, but manages to balance his incredible career with wellness, family, & mindfulness. We brought him here to tell us more about his own life’s journey, but also to help our listeners as we all look forward to 2021, ready to “make it our own.”

Get ready for our new series, where we turn the tables on... everything! Today’s guest is our very own co-host, Christine Bibbo-Herr, aka @NYCpretty!!
At 45 years young, Christine lives a vibrant, colorful, and joy-filled life with her hubby of over a decade, John… so why do so many people ask her if she’s “truly” happy, given the fact that the duo never had kids? Why do we feel so much pressure as a society to only follow one cookie-cutter life path? Why do young women feel like they “should just have kids before time runs out” instead of considering the important question first: “what truly fills my cup?”
Christine shares her take on living life aligned with your most high-vibey, joy-filled, JUMP OUT OF BED EACH MORNING energy. Plus, you won’t want to miss our HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE! We’ve got all the fashion & beauty finds, great deals, and even something for the kiddos…. Tune in!

Today’s guest Leigh Clark is one of life’s magical unicorns who throws kindness around like confetti, but she wasn’t always that way. In 2008 at the age of 29, Leigh lost her job and had to move back in with her parents… and realized she had an opportunity for a “restart.” She started a journey of transformation that included a daily random act of kindness… after paying off one lucky person’s holiday layaway, she was hooked! She realized her purpose and her happiness were directly correlated to kindness.
Her organization Kindleigh was founded on the principle that you get joy by giving joy away. With the world currently twisted up like a pretzel, it’s never been more important to focus on kindness, and we’re delighted to have Leigh on today’s show to help us all refocus on what’s truly important…. and become happier humans ourselves as a byproduct!

Ok, so here we are…. our 40s. We know not all of our listeners are there… but some of you are. And the rest of you will be! So we want to chat about an often taboo topic which shouldn’t be… PERIMENOPAUSE.
First of all, what it is? What’s gonna happen to us? What should we do about it?? And WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF??? Many women think that “vocalizing” our aging process is somehow embarrassing, that it signals a time when we’re inching towards being less sexy or desirable… when the reality is, 90% of the women we speak to say they’ve never felt sexier than they do in their 40s… so, why does PERIMENOPAUSE give us such PAUSE??
We’re grateful to have Dr. Kameelah Phillips, board certified Obstetrician, Gynecologist and lifelong women’s health advocate to the show to help us make sense of this often misunderstood topic and get a better grasp on what the hell is going on with our ever-changing bods!!

Adulting, man. It’s hard! One day you’re young, wild, and free, the next… no sleep, taxes, and craziest of all, someone actually put you in charge of keeping little humans alive!! It can all be… A LOT. Have you ever caught yourself taking yourself WAY too seriously?? It can be a delicate balance: being a "responsible grownup" while reserving the right to laugh (at yourself!) when you royally screw up, drop the ball, or simply find yourself dripping with vomit, pee or worse(!) from your newborn at 3 in the morning. With social media being filled with picture-perfect parenting, it can be hard for any parent to give themselves a break. Add a global pandemic into the mix... and we just might crack.
Enter our guest Samantha Gutstadt, actor/comedian and creator of “Don’t Call Me Mommy!” to help us find that MUCH NEEDED levity and humor while parenting during a pandemic.

The temperatures are dropping and the air is getting crisp…. And DRY!! This time of year can really do a number on our skin, and we are definitely waving the white flag when it comes to winter skin care. We all want good skin, we all want to look YOUNG (!), and there are so many products on the market right now we’re just OVERWHELMED... it’s so hard to separate the “winners” from the “hocus-pocus.”
We took our questions to the best in the biz to get the inside scoop on it all: we’re joined by Dr. Michelle Henry, one of the leading dermatological experts in the country. In addition to a thriving practice, Dr. Henry is an award-winning research scnientist, Clinical Instructor of Dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College and a regular expert commentator in the media, having appeared in InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Essence, Dr. Oz, and beyond.
We’re thrilled to have her on the show with us today to help our skin look healthy & hydrated, gorgeous & glowing… all winter long!

Here on Off the Gram, we do our best to help people make sense of wellness in the greater context of the socio-cultural landscape, and perhaps no week is it more important than this one. With the election coming up tomorrow, we all recognize that so much is at stake. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, it is clear that the world is in turmoil and we’re all just looking for some peace & healing on so many levels.
We are beyond grateful to welcome Emily Fletcher to the show today. Emily, founder of Ziva Meditation and best-selling author of “Stress Less, Accomplish More: Meditation for Extraordinary Performance,” shares with us some ways to quell our election anxiety, including leading us through a brief guided meditation to help us get at least one foot on the path to inner peace amidst these chaotic times.

Atkins, Keto, Intermittent Fasting, Wheat Belly, the Zone, South Beach, Paleo, Volumetrics, High Fiber, Raw, Weight Watchers, the list goes on. And on. And ON… Why are fad diets SUCH a thing? And, what makes them different from “diets'' that have stood the test of time like: Mediterannian, veganism, macrobiotic, anti-inflammatory, whole foods, or plant based? When did we as humans become so disconnected from our bodies that we need a book or another person to tell us how to eat? And WHEN did we decide that powders and laboratory created frankenfoods were “better” for us than what grows in the ground?
We are thrilled to have Keri Glassman of Nutritious Life here to separate the fact from fiction, and the goodies from the not-so-goodies!

"Going with your gut" - what does that mean to you? Today's guest, Dylan Lauren, preaches the benefits of "doing what you want in life, because that's what you're going to be good at." Sounds like a simple philosophy, right?? But how many of us wake up each day knowing we're not following our "true passion," but can't figure out how to set forth on a different path?
Dylan is basically #LifeGoals, running her incredible Dylan's Candy Bar, not to mention her charity, Dylan's Candy BarN, which helps animals find their home-sweet-home. She definitely had an amazing role model in her dad, iconic fashion designer, Ralph Lauren, but make no mistake... this self-made mama has always beaten to the sound of her own drum. So let’s talk about following your gut, doing what you love, and perseverance in entrepreneurship. We’ve got a lot to learn from from this ultimate #bossbabe!

Nearly 50 million Americans suffer from an autoimmune disorder, yet It can take a person an average of five years and five doctors to get diagnosed, according to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association. Two of our very own co-hosts struggle with autoimmune diseases, and we bet lots of you out there do too... whether diagnosed or not.
We’re joined today by Dr. Natalie Azar, NBC News medical contributor and a leading authority on autoimmune diseases, to shed some light on this complex subject, and some key things every human should know to protect their health.

In April of 2007, Arianna Huffington woke up in a pool of her own blood. She was two years into building the Huffington Post, all while parenting two teenage daughters as a divorced mother… so basically, juggling ALL the things, like so many of us do. She had been burning the candle at both ends, and literally collapsed, breaking her cheekbone and requiring stitches over her eye. She was diagnosed with a severe case of “burnout” and decided this was not the life she wanted to lead. It was then that she realized the necessity of prioritizing wellness and decided to make that message a part of her life’s work.
How many of us can relate to this, right?? Especially now.
As the pandemic accelerates a mental health crisis that already existed, Arianna joins us tonight to help us identify our own individual signs and stressors. She believes that as a society, we can emerge into a new normal and become much more open about the challenges we’re facing and ways to course-correct.

How does change happen? So many of us know change is required, but don’t quite know the right steps to make it happen. Some make the fatal error of staying quiet in the hopes of not harming anyone: afraid to say or do the wrong thing. Sometimes, we think we are the only person who feels things are wrong, since some things (like sexual harassment and racism) have been grotesquely normalized and accepted as “just a part of life”.
Thankfully, with the courage of the amazing humans who spoke up and continue to speak up as part of the “Me Too” movement, and all of the inspiring souls bringing Black Lives Matter to the surface (and capturing horrific moments on camera), we as a society have finally started uncovering - and have just begun to take steps to remedy - a plethora of wrongs that have gone unrecognized for decades and centuries. So… how do we go from WANTING to speak up and righting wrongs to actually enacting CHANGE?
Here today, we are SO excited to have award winning actress, advocate, and changemaker, Michelle Hurd, here with us to discuss finding the courage to SPEAK UP and MAKE CHANGE.

What is Veganism?! Is it an expensive diet? A trendy way of life for “earthy, healthy” people? Does being vegan mean I have to give away all of my favorite designer handbags and shoes made of leather?! Can I still be a part-time vegan, or vegan-ISH and get some of the benefits? Why does it seem like there’s SO much dislike for this movement? And there’s so many new studies around plant based /whole food diets yielding higher immune systems, but where do vegans get protein? Can they get enough calcium?
Seems there’s still SO many question marks surrounding this topic, but one thing we DO know is that there are SO many health benefits to having a plant based diet. A few MAJOR ones that we hear about: it can significantly reduce heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and certain cancers.
So we are thrilled to welcome Jacque Reid (vegan), Emmy award winner, multi-media maven for NBC, and host of the Vegan Sexy Cool podcast & lifestyle brand which links eating vegan, wellness and social justice. She’s giving us the scoop on what caused her to become a full-fledged vegan, why this lifestyle has become sooo popular for some and how to live a healthier, kinder more fulfilling life, while having a whole lot of fun!

Going back to school is the topic hot on everyone's minds right now… and whether you're a mom or not, everyone seems to have an opinion. On one hand, we hear that we may be damaging our children (both educationally & emotionally) by restricting their socialization. On the other hand, we hear from experts and teachers across the country who say there is no possible way to return to school safely.
We’re joined today by Nicholas Ferroni, a high school history teacher from Union, NJ who has a thing or two to say on the matter… and there’s no one whose opinion we value more. Why? Nicholas has been noted as one of the "100 Making a Difference” and one of the "Most Influential Educators In America;” he was named "Upstander of the Year" by the Human Rights Campaign for his work with LGBTQ youth; he designed a social experiment on the important of gender equality in politics that Whoopi Goldberg called “the best social experiment ever” (no big deal!)... oh and he was named the Sexiest Teacher Alive by People Magazine - CASUAL!!
Nicholas is a walking, talking example of that which he preaches… he is a social activist who educates, mentors and inspires students causing them to not only BE inspired & to INSPIRE OTHERS. We’re grateful he’s here today to inspire us, and shed some light on this sticky topic from his view on the front lines of the conversation.

Following the explosive controversy surrounding the F-Factor diet program, Tanya Zuckerbrot went on IG Live last weekend with a statement to… set the record straight? It left many feeling at best dissapointed & confused... at worst hurt, offended,& outraged. Off the Gram began covering this story last week when we interviewed whistleblower Emily Gellis along with a former client named Liz, and Lauren Slayton, founder of Foodtrainers and a renowned dietician.
Today, we unpack all that's transpired this week - and pose the question “what now??” - as this story continues to blaze through the wellness community. First, we're joined by Erin Seidl aka @FoodScienceBabe and re-joined by Lauren Slayton of Foodtrainers to discuss the "guar gum" debate (#guargate!!).
Next, we chat with a young woman known as @WellnessAlexis, who found herself an unlikely pawn in this week's "installment" of this scandal. And finally, we get an expert analysis of how this is all being handled from a PR perspective from Stacey Heuser, co-founder of leading PR agency, Narrative. This show's a doozy, friends... buckle up and tune in!

When influencer & entrepreneur Emily Gellis posted a personal opinion about the F-Factor diet program to her 100k+ followers earlier this year, she had no idea the can of worms she’d be opening up… or that she’d ultimately pivot her entire life to that of a crusader. What started as an innocuous social post turned her into a modern day Erin Brokovich… Emily received thousands of messages documenting people’s adverse reactions - both physically & mentally - as a byproduct of the following the diet or consuming the products. So Emily started sharing it all… the good, the bad, and the ugly. The situation snowballed, and when the story landed in the New York Times and then the TODAY show, Emily vowed to see this through to the end for the victims.
Emily shares her story with us on today’s episode, along with two other guests: Liz, a former client of the practice who shares a jarring & heartbreaking story; and Lauren Slayton, founder of Foodtrainers(™) a New York City consultancy dedicated to weight management and sports nutrition. Lauren holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York University, and she helps us dig a little deeper into the question on everyone’s minds: what the hell is going on here??

Wellness and race. It’s a topic we could cover all day long and still only scratch the surface but we’ll continue to try. Today we’re joined by lifestyle expert, Nicole Young, who makes her living sharing tips, tricks & recipes for healthy living on TV but often times she found the she’d be overlooked for “healthy cooking” segments, or bypassed by brands for clean eating campaigns and she had to ask herself “why?” The result? Nicole uncovered a bias against Women of Color as it pertains to wellness, and has made it a personal crusade to change that narrative.

We keep hearing that we should “eat clean”. But, what does that even mean? If we scrub our cookie boxes and chip bags with soap and water before we eat them, is that clean?! And... Why do we even need to “eat clean”? I thought a little dirt was good for the immune system? And, why is organic food so expensive? Sure, sure, we have all seen the models pictured eating their Sakara salads backstage at fashion shows in all the magazines, but do “real people” actually eat that stuff? Can a SALAD be filling?! Can it even taste good if it’s good for you? While team OTG is lucky enough to know first hand that Sakara makes the most delicious AND nutritious food on the planet, we realize the whole world doesn’t… YET.
So, we are THRILLED to bring the RADIANT gorgeous mama founders, Whitney Tingle and Danielle DuBoise, on the show to enlighten us all as to how and why they founded their clean eating empire, Sakara Life. Tell it to us straight, ladies: WHY should we all be eating clean, and HOW can we learn to play dirty?!
Whitney and Danielle have graciously offered all of our listeners a $50 gift towards your first Sakara Life Organic Meal Delivery, valid for new customers only, through September 24, 2020.

In 2018, Switch4Good - a PSA campaign aimed at informing people about the health risks associated with dairy products - launched with a commercial during the closing ceremony for the Olympics. Unbelievably, the ad was yanked from the air before it reached the West Coast following complaints by the dairy industry. Luckily, they fought their way back to become one of the foremost nonprofits advocating for a healthy plant-based diet, reaching more than 95 million people in just the past six months.
We’re joined by Rachael Adams, Olympic Volleyball player and Switch4Good ambassador, to chat about the initiative and how nixing dairy changed her life… and how she’s inspired other athletes to do the same.

Dr. Darria is an ER doctor, CNN Medical Contributor, and all-around #bossbabe (her recent TED talk on “on How to triage your Crazy busy life” had over 1 million views in 1 month… #nbd! We asked her to join us to talk SAFETY: as cities move towards re-opening, how can we all start to “live our best lives” again (and ya know, like, maybe go to work!) but still manage risks?

We’ve made it through a whole quarter in a pandemic, and many of us are left picking up the pieces. It seems like we get another closure notification of one of our favorite businesses every day (RIP POE Yoga in Short Hills, NJ and DanceBody in Williamsburg!), and so many laid-off or furloughed, we want to know what’s next, and what should we all be doing this month for the best chance possible at a financial come-back by summer’s end?
We’re joined by the fabulous Trae Bodge, personal finance journalist & TV commentator, to help us work it all out. Trae was named a Top Voice in Retail by LinkedIn and a top personal finance expert by GoBankingRates and FlexJobs. She is a contributor at CNN Underscored, and her commentary has appeared across media outlets nationwide… and we’re grateful to add Off the Gram to that list!

Joan Lunden hosted Good Morning America for nearly two decades, making her the longest running host ever on early morning television. She remains one of America’s most recognized and trusted television personalities… not to mention she’s the mama of our co-host, Jamie!
Joan redefined what it meant to be a working mom in America, and no one exemplifies aging gracefully and fearlessly like she does… and now she’s written a book about it! We chatted with this award-winning journalist, best-selling author, and all-around powerhouse about her book “Why Did I Come in This Room? A Candid Conversation on Aging,” to break down the stigma around “age” and talk about it all… the good, the “bad,” and the embarrassing!

Mara Schiavocampo is a 4x Emmy-Award winning journalist who made her mark on shows like Good America and TODAY. But it was her personal journey to wellness that had the biggest impact on her life, and after losing 90 pounds and overcoming Binge Eating Disorder, Mara found that wellness was her new passion… especially after having her two adorable kiddos and wanting to be the best role model possible. Her passion fueled her, and today, she shares wellness trends on shows like Dr. Oz, and her own popular podcast, The Trend Reporter.
Along the way, Mara struggled with conflicting feelings: was she a “serious journalist” or did she want to be a “lifestyle expert” & beacon of all things wellness? We can all relate to the feeling of being torn between our professional self and our personal persona, and social media makes it that much more pronounced. Knowing every post could be viewed by your friends - OR YOUR BOSS! - how do we balance the image we “put on” for work with the image we “put out there” for the rest of the world to see? Mara helps us dive in!

What is Telemedicine? Is it only for the very wealthy? Is it even “good enough”?! I mean… Can my doctor really see my hives from my iPhone camera in low light?! Is there even a “real” doctor on the other end of my tele-doc visit?

Fact: In the United States, Black women die from pregnancy-related complications three to four times the rate of white women. This is true no matter how much money they make, how much education they have, or where they live. We should all be furious that Black women are dying from preventable pregnancy-related causes… and WE ARE.
We’re joined by Latham Thomas, a Celebrity Doula and Maternal Wellness Expert, named one of Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul 100. Latham founded Mama Glow, a global women’s health and education brand serving women along the childbearing continuum. She is leading a revolution in radical self-care, guiding women everywhere to “mother themselves first,” and we’re grateful for her voice to help shed some light on these important topics on our show today!

These days, the four of us co-hosts find ourselves hopping on our #TeamOfftheGram group text to yell "SOS!!" with increasing frequency. We are living in such difficult times, and there should be no shame in waving the white flag and admitting overwhelm... so why is it so hard sometimes?
We're joined on today's show by Melissa Ben-Ishay, CEO of juggernaut sweets brand, Baked by Melissa cupcakes. After being fired from her advertising job back in '08 right in the midst of the recession, she decided to do something that made her feel happy rather than feeling sorry for herself. 10 years, 250 employees, 14+ retail locations, and a booming ecommerce business later, we know that Melissa - with her love of all things tie-dye & the Grateful Dead - is JUST the person we need to help us take pride inchilling the eff outin the pursuit of being our best selves!

One of the most fascinating byproducts of this crazy time has been the amount of people suddenly pressing “reset” on their entire lives, either by necessity or by happenstance. Maybe you were the family who fled New York City to avoid the virus epicenter, and discovered you have never been happier living in the country. Perhaps you’re the employee being furloughed, and took the time to write that book you’ve had in your head for years. Maybe you’re trying something else new, because…. well, why the heck not?
When the only thing that really matters anymore is our health, professional failings seem less scary in comparison. Many of us realized that things which previously seemed "impossible" - because we were all stuck in the confines of our job guardrails - might not be so impossible after all.
A lot of us have opened their minds to new possibilities. Many people are ready to take that “leap of faith” and do something that perhaps before seemed like it could only be a pipe dream.
Life seems more transient and unpredictable but for many, that’s actually opened up a world of options that never before existed. And since Paula Faris's new book is titled “CALLED OUT: Why I Traded Two Dream Jobs for a Life of True Calling,” we wanted to bring her here to help empower us all to hit the big ‘ole RESET button on our lives during this crazy time.

When our mothers were young, saying the word “period” or talking about vaginal health in public was strictly taboo. Today, women practically insta-story from the bathroom (we’ve all seen it!), and the conversation around feminine wellness has become much more open. So why hasn’t the consumer category caught up?
In 2016, Lo Bosworth was coming off an amazing stint on the hit reality TV show, The Hills, but found herself suffering a personal health crisis that often manifested by affecting her intimate health. When drug store offerings failed her, she set out to discover a holistic approach, which ultimately led to the founding of her company, Love Wellness.
Lo joins us to talk about why it’s so important to modernize the way we approach this space, how stress & environment can affect our health… and why your vagina should never, ever have to settle!

With so much going on in the world, life can feel pretty overwhelming. The emotional turmoil can leave us feeling paralyzed with uncertainty. Truth is, all we can do each day is strive to be our best selves. True, many people have taken this time in quarantine to “reinvent themselves” … yet many others are left feeling even more confused on matters of self-discovery & personal success.
Because constant evolution is the name of the game, we are convinced that all you need are some tools, a plan, and your inner sparkle… and today’s guest helps us find all three!

Raise your hand if you've been living in your activewear during quarantine... ok, global hand-raise noted! Truth is, lots of us lived in our athleisure looks long before the COVID craziness began. In the past few years, active apparel became the go-to, even qualifying as work-appropriate for some. With single items boasting three digit price tags, we wanted to know: what is the difference between fabrications, which ones are best for specific types of workouts, and how should we be caring for these treasured garments??
With most of us living in these clothes 24/7 now, we are glad to have Lexi Sachs, Good Housekeeping's Textiles Director, joining us on today's show to give us the 411!!

We’re hearing it everywhere - “the Quarantine Blues” are starting to get people down in the dumps. It seems like people are either using this time to “be their best selves” - or, they’re having a tough time getting out of bed.
We’re joined by Karena Dawn, to get her unique take on spiritual wellness amidst chaos. Millions know Karena as the co-founder of Tone It Up, but what many don’t know is her journey to get there: After experiencing childhood trauma & depression, Karena transformed her life with movement and meditation, which drove her passion to inspire others to do the same.
Karena serves on the Board of Directors for the National Alliance on Mental Health, and recently she studied under Deepak Chopra at The Chopra Center. She is also writing her first memoir, which outlines her journey from depression to inspiration - given all that is going on in the world, her unique voice will help lift us all up.

There are two popular “jokes” floating around about couples during COVID-19 shelter-in-place: 1. The next baby boom will be in approximately 9 months, and, 2. The divorce rates are going to SKYROCKET as soon as social distancing ends.
Since none of us would like to see our marriages and / or partnerships crumble under the enormous financial, physical and emotional stress that this pandemic can bring, we have decided to go to the experts. While these stressors can break the longest standing relationships, there IS opportunity to use them to make us stronger TOGETHER.
Today, we are talking with relationship experts: Alexandra Jamieson and Bob Gower, so they can share their proven approach to getting clear on what you need and want individually so you can come together, support each other, and thrive as a team through this crisis and beyond. SIGN US UP!

Their intention is to help you be the catalyst for positive change in your organization and your life.

With so many of us displaced from our homes, jobs, routines, and extended families, it can be hard to imagine prioritizing WELLNESS right now while many are simply aiming to SURVIVE. Despite what the rainbow, sparkly baths (that a #wfh parent could hardly dream of) filling our IG feeds may suggest, wellness doesn’t ever need to be picture perfect. In fact, wellness doesn’t have to LOOK like anything at all. Wellness is personal, and it is about how you FEEL. We are SO excited to have our amazing guest today here to speak with us about: finding ease during this crazy stressful time, what wellness can look like RIGHT NOW, and the future of wellness: the QUEEN of finding EASE herself, Tara Stiles!
Tara launches this amazing collaboration with her friend Ceizer to bring this Strala Yoga x Ceizer Feel Good Gang t-shirt to you to raise funds for the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership. GARDP mobilizes resources and partners to develop lifesaving treatments for drug-resistant infections. 100% of the profits of these shirts will go to GARDP to help save lives. Grab a shirt, grab one for a friend, share on social, and let’s do this together.

Quarantine eating.... the struggle is real! We’re reading the memes about eating ALL THE SUGAR and gaining “the “Quarantine 15” - this situation is tough enough, so how can we manage our sugar spirals?
YES, it’s great that we’re all becoming WAY more domestic and crafty in the kitchen, BUT it’s getting MUCH harder to stay away from sugar with all the extra baking and snacks surrounding us at home!
Michele’s new book Sugar Free 3 is a revolutionary new plan based on the latest research and science. It's not a diet. It's not a detox. It's not a cleanse. It’s a groundbreaking three-week program to reset your entire approach to food and eating for improved wellness, more energy, sounder sleep, better-looking skin, and healthy weight loss—without counting calories! Michele has spent the last decade at the forefront of the newest research about how sugar and artificial sweeteners affect your mind and body. What she discovered was that added sweeteners are at the center of every major and minor health crisis, from the ones you'd guess—like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes—to the ones that might surprise you, like acne, bad moods, digestion, and sleep loss. We’re about to explore why sugar makes you fat (and sick), where it’s lurking, and how to live happier and healthier without it on today’s show!

Everyone wants to be happy. People spend their whole lives on the quest for happiness: working themselves sick earning money, working out to the point of exhaustion, going on extreme diets, ingesting cocktails of drugs, traveling across the globe, chasing promises, and so much more. How many things do you do each day to feel HAPPIER?
After having a panic attic broadcast live on Good Morning America, our amazing guest today, Dan Harris, despite his self-professed allergy to all things touchy-feely and New Age-y, has discovered the science-backed secret to feeling 10% happier, and so much more: MEDITATION. He is here with us today to discuss how we ALL can access 10% more happiness – I feel better already!

Multi-tasking, delegating, asking for help... for many of us, it can be the hardest thing to do. In NYC, it's almost a badge of honor to stay the latest at the office, send the latest evening email, and go the longest without a vacation. The result is burnout and can actually keep us from hitting our potential, no matter how ambitious our aspirations.
We dive into this issue with Jenna Wolfe, host of First Things First on FS1, for some insight into the balancing act, and tips on how to WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER!

Eggs, man. One minute they're for our trendy omelette at Sunday brunch... then the next thing you know, you're supposed to be freezing them. How is it that so many of us today wake up one day and realize, "crap, I'm almost 40 and I was so busy being cool & ambitious that forgot to have kids!" We hear it every day from our friends, and more often than ever, the topic of egg freezing comes up as casual chatter at parties.
With SO MANY new (and amazing!) options out there, it does seem more normalized, approachable, and affordable than ever (boutique egg freezing studios popping up like Starbucks!)... but that doesn't mean it isn't scary.
Aly Teich - the creator of Sweat Life and one of the "OG wellness bloggers" - is also a late-30s single gal currently undergoing the egg-freezing process. She'll join us to shed light on everything we should know.

We all have it... that Dirty Little Secret! That one little thing that we do that is sooooo "NOT wellness." Maybe you love your evening can of diet soda. Maybe you're married to your aluminum containing, non-charcoal boasting drug store deodorant (gasp!). Perhaps you're that girl who puts 10 packets of artificial sweetener in your almond milk latte. Maybe you do whatever it is and "own it," like a badge of "wellness rebellion"... but most of us hide it, which actually prevents us from learning just how bad it is for us. Today, we’re going to divulge our DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS and our guest is going to give us the real deal on HOW BAD ARE THEY??
We're joined by Dr. Roshini Raj, TODAY contributor and founder of TULA probiotic & superfood skincare, to get the real deal on our closet anti-wellness addictions. How bad are they?? We'll find out!

For some of us, its being told our muscular arms are “too manly.” For others, it’s our (often well-meaning!) parents giving us flack about our vegan diet. Or maybe it’s that friend who’s obsessed with clean beauty giving us side-eye when we pull out our (gasp!) drugstore deodorant containing aluminum.
We value everyone’s opinions & appreciate the free advice (cough cough), but when do people just need to STFU and mind their own business? Influencer & women's empowerment advocate, Chinae Alexander sits down to help us sort through the all-too-common trend of wellness shaming.... but also shares her professional opinion on a few times your friends may actually be right.

Let’s get to the heart of things: finances are terrifying. Most of us have thought at one point or another “what’s wrong with me? I should be farther along. Why don’t I already know how to do this?”
Financial wellness is about more than just “having more money.” It’s about our deep and complex relationship with supporting ourselves, not procrastinating, and basically: ADULTING. Are you ready to stop sabotaging yourself with negative self-talk and start manifesting abundance? Listen in as we’re joined by Shannon McLay, CEO of the Financial Gym, to get real about this deeply personal topic.

Friendship breakups. They can be worse than romantic ones. But we all have that friend who makes us feel awful about ourselves, whether intentionally or not. Self-care means more than massages & matcha lattes… it also means knowing when to walk away from toxic situations. We’ll sit down with Terri Cole to break down: Five ways you know when it’s time to go!
BONUS: as if sharing her valuable wisdom wasn’t enough, Terri is giving all of our listeners free GIFTS!!! Check those out HERE: http://www.terricole.com/gift

Millennial pink backgrounds & fruity acai bowls. The constant feeling of FOMO. Life filtered. When our world is curated, it’s really easy to get lost in Instagram vs. Reality.
This week, we examine our love/hate relationship with social media. Don’t get us wrong - we’re not IG haters! Our friendship was born through this platform. It’s deeply tied to our livelihood. We’ve built the most incredible #girlgang communities online and IRL. But there’s a lot to discuss here, and we’re going to dig in deep to both the sunshine & the shadows, with guest influencer & badass girl boss, Jera Foster-Fell.

FACT: Each of us has had brands ask us to “lead a class” at a fitness event.
The problem? Only one of us is a certified instructor. The rise of the fitness influencer has created a dangerous culture of monkey see/monkey do. The result? Everything from mild injuries to rhabdomyolysis. In this midst of this super trendy landscape, how do you stay informed, fit, & safe?
There’s a big difference between fitness influencers and “real deal” trainers, namely experience & education. We’re joined by Liz Plosser, editor in chief of Women's Health, for an honest discussion of this alarming trend, and how people can stay safe while getting their best sweat.
