  • TODD BARATZ X KATIE NEHRA - VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL - S2 EPISODE 6
    Let’s Talk About SEX!
    Todd Baratz, certified sex therapist and relationship expert, joins me as co-host for a special edition of BBHBU. He was an earlier guest on Season 2. In this episode we talk about how sex can be a real MIND FUCK and why it’s so hard to make a real connection in 2022.
    We answered questions from YOU. I have trouble getting off, what should I do?Should we act out our deepest, darkest fantasies or are some fantasies better kept as just that, a fantasy?More importantly why am I so attracted to Dexter?
    Todd has incredible insight on why patterns continue to show up in our dating lives.I tell you to lie about getting out of the bath. I am super excited for you all to hear it!

  • AMANDA E. WHITE X KATIE NEHRA - S2 EPISODE 5

    Amanda E. White is a licensed therapist and the creator pf the popular instagram account THERAPY FOR WOMEN. Her practice, Therapy For Women, is based in Philadelphia but she serves clients across the country. Her debut novel, “NOT DRINKING TONIGHT: A GUIDE TO CREATING A SOBER LIFE YOU LOVE” came out this month.

    The book is an honest discussion of mental health where she explores the reasons why many drink alcohol, and what the benefits are from taking a break. It also gives insight to many other habits or rituals one may have acquired and how to decide if they are no longer serving you.

    We talk about her history with drinking, and her recovering from an eating disorder, and we learn why those two issues are often linked. Speaking with Amanda felt like I was talking to one of my best friends. She’s so down to earth and relatable.

    Hope you enjoy it.

    And: Cheers to Not Drinking Tonight!

    XO

It’s refreshing to hear someone who has so much talent speak about her self doubts and how she battles them. Have a listen!

  • JADE IOVINE X KATIE NEHRA - S2 EPISODE 2
    It’s refreshing to speak to someone who grew up in the Hollywood scene, but comes off as the girl you just want to watch RHOP with in your pj’s. Jade Iovine is wise beyond her years. She opens up to me about her personal struggles with depression, anxiety and everything in between.As well as her not so normal childhood, Dr. Dre was a regular (and still is) guest at the dinner table. She tells us what it took for her to launch her own podcast, Tell Me About It, which focuses on mental health, and the women who are brave enough to speak openly about their stories, to how she’s been able to become her most authentic self today in 2021.

  • EDWARD BUCHANAN X KATIE NEHRA - S2 EPISODE 1
    We are starting off Season Two with a bang! I’m so excited to share the personal story of my friend, Edward Buchanan, Creative Director of @sansovino6, which is unapologetically black owned and operated. He’s also the Knitwear Design Director for @virgilabloh 's @off____white, co founder of BIPOC movement WAMI / we are made in Italy and most recently named Milano Fashion Director for @kegrand ‘s @theperfectmagazine. I’ve known Ed since I was a teenager in NYC.  We lived in the same apartment in Alphabet City at one point, it was an exciting time to experience a group of artists all cohabitating. Edward has been working in the fashion industry for over twenty years. He has chosen purpose and “quiet creativity” over celebrity. He talks about "losing things in order to gain something” and I believe that he has made the way he lives artistically and with purpose. Hearing him speak is cathartic, hypnotic and I always learn something whenever we get together. Enjoy!

  • CHEF RASHAD X KATIE NEHRA - EPISODE 15
    On today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Chef Rashad, who’s widely known for his victory on the TV show CHOPPED. Not totally surprising, given that when he was growing up everyone said he would become a preacher or a Chef.Not many men are willing to process their emotions in real life, let alone on national TV, but Rashad does just that and more. This last year he was featured in Oprah’s THE ME YOU CAN'T SEE. Can you imagine what it must feel like to let someone film you intimately about your mental well being?I find out and how he went from being on top to losing it all and then finding his way back.Growing up, the overwhelming message to Rashad was, “Man up” or “Take it to God.” As an adult he has found his voice he has been able to speak his truth. What hit me hardest when speaking to Rashad was that he wears a mask that appears powerful and positive but inside he has been broken. And he’s not alone. So many people who are suffering with depression feel that way, as if they have to keep a mask on in public.Seeing someone like Rashad bravely take his mask off gives me great hope. And my hope is others feel like they can, too.

  • ERICA DOMESEK (P.S.- I Made This...) X KATIE NEHRA - EPISODE 14
    Erica is one of those girls that you look at and think “She must wake up happy! I bet she jumps out of bed and is just naturally incredibly productive and successful.” Well, she is incredibly successful, but what’s interesting to learn is that she suffers from anxiety. One of the reasons she latched on to DIY (really coined the term TBH!). Is that it helped relieve her anxiety and depression. Did you know that when you do something active with your hands it physically takes you out of your head?
    On today’s episode we speak about when we first met over 10 years ago in Los Angeles up to when we recently reconnected through the podcast.
    When I first started BBHBU she slid into my DMs telling me how she has suffered from anxiety her whole life. I was incredibly surprised because she seems like someone who is so together. If anything, what’s happened in the last 24 hours with Olympian Simone Biles tells us is that is that all is not always OK. A majority of the time, many over- achievers and success stories are privately at their mental health breaking point.
    We talk about LA days, Mental DIYs that can help you with your anxiety and what she is working on next! Tune in now…

  • KETAMINE CLINICS LA X KATIE NEHRA - EPISODE 13
    I met Dr. Mandel two years ago. My depression had hit an all time high and my psychiatrist recommended Ketamine infusions.I was surprised as much as you are reading this, ketamine? As in Special K? As in the drug they drug the men in Hustlers?Fast forward to today, numerous infusions later and I can say these treatments have helped me get through some extremely difficult times that I don’t know I would have without it.I speak with Dr. Mandel, who is a pioneer in this field, and his son Sam about how the clinic started. And why Ketamine can make leaps and bounds for people who are suffering from depression, PTSD and other mood disorders.

  • POPPY JAMIE X KATIE NEHRA - EPISODE 12

    Poppy Jamie is incredibly intuitive, intoxicating and also a mind junkie. She’s a rare breed. We share the same thirst for the knowledge of the mind!

    Maybe we should start Thirst Trap Mind Selfies? 

    On this episode, Poppy takes me through her process, how she got to where she is today and when she fell off a chair when interviewing Jude Law! As well as the highlights of her new book HAPPY NOT PERFECT. 

    I’m excited for you to hear this episode and learn all about FLEX thinking.
