Nobody Told Me!: Recent Episodes

Jan Black & Laura Owens

(Apple Podcast's Best of 2018) When mother-daughter duo Jan Black and Laura Owens first conceptualized their two-generational talk show, nobody told them they’d snag the title of #1 self-help podcast for months on end! But that’s exactly what they’ve done, delving into topics as far-flung as network building, the importance of failure, finding hope after being kidnapped, and how the principles of brain surgery can help us work through everyday problems. Featuring interviews with extraordinary individuals, Nobody Told Me! shines light on the shared human experiences that bring us together, and the challenges that serve as catalysts for our greatest growth. Nobody Told Me! combines Jan’s impressive broadcast journalism background with Laura’s unique, millennial perspective. Driven by a genuine desire to educate and empower, their pioneering platform gives insight into the strategies and secrets of people in all walks of life. Equal parts information and inspiration, Nobody Told Me! brings a personal touch to the interview process. Together, Jan and Laura are asking the questions that help their listeners get through life’s toughest times.

In this episode, we talk to Sue Klebold about how she would give her own life to stop her son Dylan's mass shooting at Columbine High School. Sue reveals how Dylan had no mental illness diagnosis, and no one knew about the dark depression he wrote in personal journals. Eventually, his suicidal thoughts turned homicidal, and his friendship with fellow shooter Eric Harris developed into extreme rage amongst the two which led to that unforgettable tragedy in 1999. We discuss how she has spent the last fifteen years excavating every detail of her family life and trying to understand the crucial intersection between mental health problems and violence, what she feels she missed in Dylan's mental state, the idea of forgiveness, and the urgent need to change how society responds to psychological disorders in order to prevent future tragedies.

This could be our most touching episode yet! As a mother-daughter duo, we’d very much been looking forward to our interview with Marisa Bardach Ramel. Marisa and her mother, Sally Bardach, wrote The Goodbye Diaries together. It’s an honest, heartfelt, touching glimpse into the relationship between a mother and daughter, when the mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer. In the book, Marisa and her mother write alternating chapters voicing their individual fears, frustrations and connection to each other. The Goodbye Diaries offers an eye-opening look into both sides of a terminal diagnosis—the one who will leave and the one who will be left behind.

Joining us on this episode is Helena Dea Bala, author of the new book, Craigslist Confessional:  A collection of secrets from anonymous strangers, which The New York Times called 'touching'. She was the true definition of the American dream: an Albanian immigrant who came to the United States as a child, went to George Washignton University, and became a lawyer and lobbyist in Washington, D.C. However, at the end of her work day, she found herself unfulfilled and realized that the most content she felt was in her daily conversations with a homeless man (a stranger) who she felt she could be completely honest with. This sparked her to take a leap of faith, quit her job, and post a sentence on Craigslist: 'tell me about yourself.' Over the course of the years, she has met up with strangers on Craigslist and documented their stories, coming to the conclusion that behind the scenes, we are all struggling with the same issues.   You can buy the book at https://www.amazon.com/Craigslist-Confessional-Collection-Secrets-Strangers/dp/1982114967.   Thanks to our sponsors of this episode!

If you're in need of hope, this is the show for you!   As a doctor who treated hundreds of patients with brain injuries, neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander strongly doubted the existence of an afterlife. However, after he contracted E. coli meningitis (which has a 1 in 10,000,000 annual occurence), he ended up in a coma for seven days and had a life changing experience. He came to the conclusion that the brain does not create consciousness and that consciousness survives bodily death.   He is the author of several books stemming from his own near-death experience, including the #1 New York Times Bestseller called, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife.     Thanks to our sponsors of this episode!

We've been living in an era of 'hyper-genderism', where we've been taught but pink is girly and blue is for boys. For too long, many girls have been afraid to challenge the societal norms and be what so many people call a 'tomboy'. But what does that term even mean?

To learn more, we talk to Lisa Selin Davis, author of the new book, Tomboy:  The Surprising History and Future of Girls Who Dare to Be Different.  

The book explores where tomboys fit into our evolving understanding of gender identity and expression.  It expands on the ideas Lisa first discussed in an Op-Ed piece she wrote for the New York Times about her own daughter’s experience as a self-described “tomboy” and how her research led her to the conclusion that many women who we consider to be the greatest heroines of all time described themselves the same way.     Thanks to our sponsors of this episode!

Death is not an easy subject to talk about, but it’s a fact of life. We will all die someday, and between now and then, we’ll have family and friends who will die. So, how can we help those close to us who are facing death and how can we best prepare for our own lives to end? We’ll explore those questions on this episode with Dr. BJ Miller and Shoshana Berger, who are the co-authors of the book, A Beginner’s Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death. It’s described as, “The first-ever practical, compassionate, and comprehensive guide to dying—and living fully until you do”. 

Dr. BJ Miller is the president and a counselor at his own palliative care company, Mettle Health, which you can learn about by going to https://www.mettlehealth.com.

We're a mother-daughter duo who’ve had the same kinds of conversations most parents have with their kids as they grow up. Issues related to school, family, goals, misunderstandings and expectations have all come up between us over the years. We’ve had some great, meaningful conversations and some meltdowns, too!

Parents want to keep their kids safe, healthy, happy and motivated but sometimes it’s hard to know what to say to achieve those goals. Conversation between parents and kids can be difficult at times, if not impossible. That’s why we’re excited to welcome neuropsychologist William Stixrud and test prep expert Ned Johnson to the show. They are the authors of the bestselling book, "The Self-Driven Child". And, they have a new book called, "What Do You Say?: How to Talk with Kids to Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance, and a Happy Home".

We’re the guests on this special episode!

As you probably know, we’re a mother-daughter duo and one of the reasons we started this podcast is to share and compare life lessons between our two generations. We always love to hear what our guests have to say about their Nobody Told Me! lessons. Those are the things you had to learn the hard way in life because nobody told you about them. 

One of the messages we’ve heard from our guests over the years is that nobody told them life is hard. It’s not always easy and we need to have people in our lives we can turn to for support. Today, we want to focus on the mother-daughter relationship because it’s one of those places to look when you need some support.

We love to learn about the lives of remarkable people and find out how they coped during difficult times. On this episode, we’ll hear about some of the unsung heroines of World War Two—the brave young Jewish women in the ghettos of the Nazi occupation in Poland. They saw and acknowledged the truth of their time and risk their lives in the fight for justice and freedom.

Joining us is author Judy Batalion, who did painstaking research in writing the new book, The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos. It’s a story that’s so inspirational, fascinating and important that Steven Spielberg has optioned it for a major motion picture.

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor back to our show. Dr. Taylor has given one of the most popular TED talks of all time entitled, My Stroke of Insight, which has had more than 27 and a half million views. She is a Harvard-trained brain scientist who studied her own stroke, as it happened, back in 1996. She knew what was happening as she watched her brain functions—motion, speech, memory and self-awareness—shut down, one by one.

Dr. Taylor spent eight years recovering her ability to think, walk, and talk. She has become an advocate for stroke recovery and for the possibility of coming back from brain injury stronger than before. She’s the author of the best-selling memoir, My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey. And, she’s the author of the new book, Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life.

It’s a universally accepted truth that being a mother is rewarding and enriching, but it’s also exhausting and stressful. A lot of women are desperately trying to “give their all” in hopes of being the perfect mother. In the process, they’re feeling overwhelmed and hurting themselves and their families.  Our guest on this episode, Heather Chauvin, is the mother of three boys and her efforts to be “the perfect mom” were turned upside-down when she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer seven years ago. Since then, her life has changed as has her concept of motherhood. She’s spoken about what happened to her in a popular Ted-X talk; she discusses it on her own podcast, called “Mom is in Control”, and she’s written about it in the new book, Dying to Be a Good Mother: How I Dropped the Guilt and Took Control of My Parenting and My Life.

' Hidden Valley Road' has been had quite a year! It's been named as one of Barack Obama's Top Favorite Books of 2020, #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestseller and one of their top ten books of the year, OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK, PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S book of the year, and one of the WALL STREET JOURNAL's books of the year. * On this episode, we’re joined by journalist Robert Kolker, author of the new book 'Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family', a #1 New York Times bestseller and Oprah's Book Club Pick. It tells the heartbreaking, and at times, terrifying, story of the Galvin family—a family with 12 children, six of whom were diagnosed with schizophrenia. The Galvins, were so unusual that they were studied by the National Institute of Mental Health in an effort to learn more about the genetic origins of schizophrenia.

When we were celebrating the holidays in 2019, could we have ever imagined how different things would look just a year later? This year, we're spending our first Christmas without Jan's daughter and Laura's sister, Sarah, who made the tough decision not to travel home. In this episode, we have an honest conversation about how the pandemic has impacted our relationships, the lessons we have learned from spending so much time at home, the impact of an overnight transition to a digital workplace, what the holidays mean to us, and how at the end of the day, we feel more gratitude this year than we ever have before. We hope that you enjoy this very, very special conversation as much as we did!

In this episode, we talk to Sue Klebold about how she would give her own life to stop her son Dylan's mass shooting at Columbine High School. Sue reveals how Dylan had no mental illness diagnosis, and no one knew about the dark depression he wrote in personal journals. Eventually, his suicidal thoughts turned homicidal, and his friendship with fellow shooter Eric Harris developed into extreme rage amongst the two which led to that unforgettable tragedy in 1999.  We discuss how she has spent the last fifteen years excavating every detail of her family life and trying to understand the crucial intersection between mental health problems and violence, what she feels she missed in Dylan's mental state, the idea of forgiveness, and the urgent need to change how society responds to psychological disorders in order to prevent future tragedies. This episode originally aired in January 2019, but we felt that we had to share it again. We are all going through a difficult time right now and if you need help, it is available. W

Why is there stigma associated with how we cope with the loss of a pet? It seems like we can't get it right: we're judged for grieving the death of the animal too much ('it's just a pet!') or too little ('he/she is getting a new dog already?').

What can we do to heal and move forward from it? Why does it feel like we never fully get over it?

In honor of National Dog Day, we are bringing back one of our favorite episodes with Dr. Guy Winch, licensed psychologist and in-demand keynote speaker to talk about healing from the loss of a pet. Dr. Winch was with us previously to discuss his book "How to Fix a Broken Heart", which aims to help people cope about a breakup or death of someone they love; that someone can be a pet and the loss is devastating. 

You can watch his compelling TED talk, "Why we all need to practice emotional first aid", which has gathered more than six and a half million views, at https://www.ted.com/talks/guy_winch_the_case_for_emotional_hygiene. His website is http://www.guywinch.com.

We've been living in an era of 'hyper-genderism', where we've been taught but pink is girly and blue is for boys. For too long, many girls have been afraid to challenge the societal norms and be what so many people call a 'tomboy'. But what does that term even mean? To learn more, we talk to Lisa Selin Davis, author of the new book, Tomboy:  The Surprising History and Future of Girls Who Dare to Be Different.    The book explores where tomboys fit into our evolving understanding of gender identity and expression.  It expands on the ideas Lisa first discussed in an Op-Ed piece she wrote for the New York Times about her own daughter’s experience as a self-described “tomboy” and how her research led her to the conclusion that many women who we consider to be the greatest heroines of all time described themselves the same way.

Joining us on this episode is Helena Dea Bala, author of the new book, Craigslist Confessional:  A collection of secrets from anonymous strangers, which The New York Times called 'touching'. She was the true definition of the American dream: an Albanian immigrant who came to the United States as a child, went to George Washignton University, and became a lawyer and lobbyist in Washington, D.C. However, at the end of her work day, she found herself unfulfilled and realized that the most content she felt was in her daily conversations with a homeless man (a stranger) who she felt she could be completely honest with. This sparked her to take a leap of faith, quit her job, and post a sentence on Craigslist: 'tell me about yourself.' Over the course of the years, she has met up with strangers on Craigslist and documented their stories, coming to the conclusion that behind the scenes, we are all struggling with the same issues.

Majo Molfino, Stanford University-trained designer and women’s leadership expert, joins us to talk about how women can improve their self-worth and build creative confidence.

As children, most girls are to "be good" and learn that conforming to societal norms leads to praise. However, that usually leads to a lifelong quest for unattainable perfection and comes at the expense of them sacrificing their unique voice.

As the daughter of immigrants, Majo wanted to make her parents proud more than anything, but realized that she also wanted to live her life on her own terms. In this episode, she teaches us how to find our own unique feminine power and dismantle old rules once and for all.

Her new book, 'Break the Good Girl Myth', comes out on July 28th. It is is published by HarperCollins and is available for pre-order now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We first learned about Curtis Carroll (aka "Wall Street") after watching his TED talk, which has gathered more than 2.4 million views since April. Known by the media as the "Oracle of San Quentin", Wall Street is known for his stock picking abilities, but he had to overcome a number of challenges to earn that title. Carroll grew up in Oakland and was convicted of murder/robbery 20 years ago. Sentenced to 54 years to life behind bars, he decided that rather than becoming a victim of the prison system, he wanted to do something impactful with his life. The stock market grabbed his attention, but he was illiterate. He educated himself, teaching himself to read and switching his role models from drug dealers to financial gurus like Warren Buffett. He now sees his life as an opportunity to teach financial literacy the masses, attributing crime, or the motive behind it, directly to the disconnect between financial security and most people.
