  • DR. BREWER X KATIE NEHRA - EPISODE 11
    I sound like a giddy school girl in this episode. But I don’t care…I’m obsessed!It’s not often that a book comes along that can change your life. Unwinding Anxiety is THAT book. Since I starting reading it and doing the Unwinding Anxiety app I’ve made changes. Major. And dare I say actually feel less anxious?!? Dr. Jud Brewer is the man behind this method. He is a thought leader in the field of habit change and the "science of self-mastery”. He is the director of research and innovation at the Mindfulness Center and Associate Professor in Psychiatry at the School of Medicine at Brown University , as well as executive medical director of behavioral health at Sharecare..On today’s episode we talk about what else…anxiety! Even though Dr. Jud is super smart with a million degrees, he’s incredibly humble and disarming to speak to. If you want to change a habit, behavior or your life, I urge you to join us.

  • ELISSA STRAUSS X KATIE NEHRA - EPISODE 10
    Elissa Strauss is a journalist who writes about caregiving as well as the politics and culture of parenthood—not parenting! She wants you to know she has no idea how you should be raising your children. For that matter, neither do I… Needless to say, don’t listen to this podcast if you’re looking for parenting advice, but if you want to learn how to care better, this is the episode for you. While I seem to care too much sometimes—I’m constantly having to tell myself not to care what others think—in our enlightening conversation, Elissa teaches me about a much healthier and necessary type of caring: caring for others. It’s the topic of her first book, so she’s an expert, and given the year we’ve all had, learning how to check in on and be there for others, seems to me to be even more important than it has ever been before.

  • SCOTT STUDENBERG X KATIE NERHA - EPISODE 8

    In this episode, my dear friend Scott Studenberg, the creative director of the luxury fashion brand Baja East, shares his lowest lows and highest highs, from being broke and suicidal to dressing Billy Porter in turquoise fringe and crystals for the Grammys. Scott is a sexy version of Magnum P.I. meets Freddie Mercury on the beach, whose journey includes growing up in the ’80s as a closeted gay man in Michigan, being a young model in New York, coming out, launching a successful fashion brand, and cultivating the “perfect” image—including facetuning (insert mock horror here)—while simultaneously having his life, career, and relationship all crumble. Listen in to hear how he bonded with Lady Gaga and Adele over a broken heart and overcame depression and thoughts of suicide by finally allowing himself to be honest.

    Singer-songwriter Fletcher’s lyrics and melodies hit you at your core. This episode, the self-described empath tells me she is existing somewhere between “thriving and a complete shit show”—and boy, can I relate. The musician opens up with zero shame—yes!—about anxiety and her mental health as she never has before. Listen in as we talk about everything from Bob Marley and Celine Dion to people pleasing, OCD, intrusive thoughts, the pitfalls of social media, affirmations, the superpower of being able to walk in someone else’s shoes, and the healing that comes from writing and music.
