  • MARTA POZZAN X KATIE NEHRA - S2 EPISODE 15

    I met Marta Pozzan about a month ago through a girlfriend. We all went to a Women’s soccer game, and immediately upon meeting we recognized an old soul in the other (hot old souls, of course) You may know Marta from her work in front of the camera – she is an actress, writer and fellow mental health advocate. Her podcast Cosmic Days just launched this month, and soon she will be appearing in the Netflix show From Scratch, opposite Zoe Saldana.

    In this episode, Marta bravely shares with us insight into the debilitating anxiety that she had suffered from for many years; sometimes so bad she wasn’t capable of leaving her house. She saw various doctors who tried to help, but nothing was working until she began EMDR therapy.  EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and it turned out to be a game changer for her.

    Marta takes us through what her first session felt like, and why she continues this therapy to this day.  We dive into what has helped her personally over the past 10 years, and how she came to realize what she needed in her life and how to ask for it to support her own mental well-being.

  • BROOKE SHIELDS X KATIE NEHRA - S2 EPISODE 14

    I never thought I would be able to say I just interviewed Brooke Shields, let alone on mental health.

    In this episode we speak about depression, both hers and mine; hormones, and we reflect on why we are so afraid of saying what we are really feeling.

    As many of you know, Brooke grew up in the entertainment industry, and in this episode she shares with us how hard the industry is on women and their mental stability.

    She was also the first woman in the public eye to speak openly about her postpartum depression to the media. You may remember that many people did not respond positively. But with that brave act she opened up a conversation that had been largely keep in the dark for too long.

    There is a reason that Brooke’s reputation is stellar. She is everything you imagined she would be and then some!

  • CHELSEA LEYLAND X KATIE NEHRA - S2 EPISODE 11
    I came across Chelsea’s story when my producer sent me her recent article she wrote onVogue.com. He asked me if I thought we should invite her to be a guest on the podcast, and at first I didn’t understand. Many of you may know Chelsea how I knew her – as a renowned DJ, a cool and talented girl who seemed to be living the dream and traveling the world to perform at all the hottest parties. But when I read her deeply personal and incredibly moving story, I had tears streaming down my face, and told him YES.
    In that article, Chelsea opens up about her painful journey dealing with two heartbreaking miscarriages, as well as her life long-struggle with Endometriosis, and the mental toll it took on her. On top of that, she shared that she has suffered from epilepsy for most of her life, as does her sister, and reveals the hardships that both she and her family continue to deal with because of that condition.
    Throughout all of this, Chelsea has remained unbelievably strong, and rather than falling victim to her circumstances, she has created communities and conversations around these issues and other largely ignored topics to help others feel less alone.
    In this episode we discuss miscarriages, hormones, epilepsy, women getting to know their bodies, the shame and blame that women often feel and why it’s so important to bring these conversations out in to the open.
    She also talks about her newest venture, which is closest to her heart, called Looni. A company dedicated to the menstrual cycle and women’s hormones; teaching young girls, women and everyone in between why our bodies react they way they do.
    Chelsea is one of those incredibly brave women who dare to tell us the truth, even though it’s heartbreaking, as well as vows to make a difference for others through her work.
    PS/ her voice is incredibly hypnotic, you may fall into a trance.Enjoy.XO
