One of the hardest things about building building healthy relationships is communication… especially with the ones you love. Linda & Drew share a story of how quickly something (so trivial!) can quickly escalate in the moment. Find out how they resolved their conflict with the tools they learned from therapy.

US Olympic Medalist, Activist, Author and Entrepreneur, Ibtihaj Muhammad joins us at home to share her story of growing up, how she got into fencing, and overcoming challenges within the sport. Through it all, she stayed true to herself and her faith and shares where this courage and grit come from.

Design icons and cool couple Cortney and Robert Novogratz join us At Home to share insightful stories about their path from giving up their dream home so they could build their dream life. They talk about the good and the bad times, the rituals they have in place to help get them through challenges, how they remain optimistic and how they keep it real — it's not all about the glam we see on social! Through it all, they credit their success to building a great family and team, and enjoying the journey itself.

Yeardley Smith — actor, playwright, producer, host and activist — is a lot of things, including the iconic voice of such a big part of our childhood, Lisa Simpson.

She shares stories about her childhood and her battle with bulimia. Yeardley also talks about her time on The Simpsons, how the popular TV family has showcased the reality of imperfect real-life family dynamics; and we talk about her intriguing true-crime podcast, Small Town Dicks, the incredible work of her production company, Paperclip, as well as her hilarious and light-hearted cooking show, Oil and Water.

Annalee Belle, Jessica Earnshaw and Victoria Tonelli, our “teenagers”, join us on our monthly catch up. Friends and fam often call our house the LinDrew Hotel which you’ll hear all about in this episode as we all discuss what it’s really like living together for most of the pandemic! We talk about dreams, work, regrets, relationships and things we’re each excited about.

Gina McCarthy, White House’s first National Climate Advisor, joins Linda & Drew At Home to deliver a healthy dose of optimism that we all need as we collectively take on climate challenges. She shares stories about her home and family life growing up, and how being a mother and grandmother has influenced her passion to make the world better. We also talk about how we can all bridge policy with everyday action!

Linda and Drew chat BOUNDARIES with Nedra Glover Tawwab — a licensed counselor, relationship expert and therapist. Her research and techniques, rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, help us identify and express our needs without apology. Her recent book, Set Boundaries, Find Peace - A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself, is a guide to establish healthy boundaries so that we can achieve work/life harmony, cope with toxic people, and enjoy rewarding relationships.

Erin & Ben Napier (HGTV’s Home Town and Home Town Takeover) join Linda and Drew at home to chat all about family, telling their sweet and funny love story! They share their personalized approach to every single home and talk about what makes small towns so special.

Dr. Shefali, joins Linda and Drew to share her groundbreaking and life-changing approach to mindful living and rediscovering our authentic selves.

Oprah has called Dr. Shefali’s work revolutionary. She is a clinical psychologist and wisdom teacher, international speaker and an acclaimed author. Her expertise is in family dynamics and personal development.

As we explore what renewal means this month At Home, Dr. Shefali’s new book, A Radical Awakening, serves as an empowering and soul opening guide for anyone ready to embark on a new journey towards living free, changing our lives and worlds from within.

This June on At Home, Linda and Drew chat all about renewal, what it means to them and what they're focusing on. There's lots happening despite their attempts to try to finally slow down a little. So they catch up on what has been working for them and bring in experts (HGTV’s Hometown, Erin & Ben Napier on building community; Nedra Glover Tawwab on setting boundaries and finding peace; Dr. Shefali on Reawakening your true self; and White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy on climate optimism!) all throughout this month to continue to guide them in creating a happy, healthy home.
