Tune in to hear our thoughts on the importance of choice, the stigma that remaining childless can carry, how to respond when people insert their unsolicited opinions, and why you shouldn't explain yourself to anyone - because it's YOUR life.

For this episode, I reunite with Christina McKitish, a fellow Quinnipiac graduate, art-lover, and humanitarian as she shares the story of how her greatest challenges led her to practice yoga and ultimately started teaching yoga as a way to find her true self - and help others do the same.

As a lifelong learner and educator, currently working as a middle-school social studies teacher, Christina's passion for teaching yoga came naturally. When Christina found herself experiencing severe anxiety and depression after a difficult time in her life, she decided to explore yoga as a way to reconnect with herself and become more present.

Tune in to find out how yoga has changed Christina's perspective on life, improved her mental and physical well-being, and given her the chance to grow as an individual and with her students.

On this episode of the WhoTheF*ck? podcast, I speak to Rob Lawless, creator of Rob’s 10K Friends, as he explains what prompted his mission to meet 10,000 unique individuals and spend one hour, one-on-one with each of them – for absolutely no reason other than to create connections.

Since Rob began his project in 2015, he has met over 3,300 people (I was 3,396!) and doesn’t plan to stop until he reaches his goal to become friends with 10,000 people. The format of this episode is a bit different than you may expect, as it takes a page from Rob’s book and allows each of us to get to know one another better, the way we would if we were just having a friendly conversation.

Rob’s time at Penn State University acted as the catalyst for Rob’s 10K Friends, so this episode’s WhoTheF*ck For A Cause is in support of Penn State Thon. If you have the means, please visit whothefck.com/donate and give what you can to help fight the battle against childhood cancer.

A quick solo episode to share my thoughts on the importance of staying connected during this particularly isolating time. As more and more countries and states put harsher restrictions in place, forcing people to stay home, it can feel incredibly lonely. One of the best ways to remedy that feeling is to listen more to each other, to reach out more than we may have in 'normal' circumstances. The only way we get through this is together.

In the first episode of the soon to be recurring series RTF on WTF, I speak with my friend, Lauren Grinnell, as she shares her story as a survivor of domestic violence and how it led her to founding Runway to Freedom (runwaytofreedom.org). Runway to Freedom is a non-profit, now in its 10th year, focused on advocating for and providing resources to fellow survivors and their families. Runway to Freedom also provides a platform at their annual gala for domestic violence survivors to share their stories, allowing each person to take control of their narrative, rather than staying silent.
