Burnout. It’s a very real thing. How do we combat it? What’s the secret to cultivating vitality? Boosting resilience? New York-based positive psychiatrist, Dr. Samantha Boardman, has the answers. Her specialty lies in transforming full days into more fulfilling days and turning stress into strength. Pretty helpful life skills, might we add. She shares the tools one needs to garner such skills—to make us all better moms, daughters, sisters, friends, wives, not to mention, just better versions of ourselves. And, guess what. It’s okay to feel burnout. It’s okay to feel stress. In fact, stress can be a good thing. It’s all about navigating ourselves towards the right direction. By the way, we’re rarely bias, but we’d be remiss not to admit that this was one of our favorite episode’s and guest’s to date. Dr. Boardman, Samantha, Sam (are we on a nickname basis?) you are extraordinary.

Historically speaking, acupuncture has gotten an iffy rap. To an outsider, it’s only fair. After all, acupuncture is a treatment that requires numerous amounts of tiny hair-thin needles that not only poke at you but stay in the body for a generous amount of time. Unpleasant at first glance? Definitely. But when you actually take the plunge, try it for yourself, and understand all the benefits, iffy rap, no more. Acupuncture is miraculous. Who better to back that theory up than New York-based acupuncturist and massage-therapist, Michelle Bombacie who serves as the Program Manager for the Integrative Therapists Program at Columbia University. We get into all the ways acupuncture can benefit one’s life—from stress and sleep deprivation to better skin and improved digestion, acupuncture can essentially serve as as the cure to any pain-point, literally and figuratively. We hope you enjoy this one (and still can’t believe this is a topic we hadn’t yet covered).

Anyone else feel like there are too many trends constantly circulating that it’s almost impossible to keep up? There’s truly nothing more we love than a focused and streamlined edit. No less, a forward-thinking trend report. Just give us the information we need and nothing more. As a second installment, we tapped Well + Good’s VP of Content, Abbey Stone, to share the biggest wellness trends on the horizon for this year and beyond. Beauty biotech? We get into it. Mobility training? That too. From beauty to fitness to food and a bit of self-care, this is a fact-packed episode touching on all our favorite categories. If you thought you were someone who was ahead of the curve, take a listen, and think again.

The Ranch. You’ve likely heard those two words used together before. But for those who haven’t yet delved into the week-long wellness retreat, there’s certainly a mystique around what The Ranch is, how it works, and who you’ll meet there. And, yes, you might just be hiking next to Michelle Obama and not know it. With roots in Malibu, married couple and co-founders, Sue and Alex Glasscock have created a unique experience, full stop. If you ask any of their guests about it (half of which return time and again) they’ll say the experience is unparalleled. The differentiating factor? The Ranch is a “no-options, results-oriented” program. I.e. if you just show up and do as you are told, the rest will fall in place. Since we don’t all have access to The Ranch Malibu (now expanded to Italy and soon the Hudson Valley), we picked Sue and Alex’s brains on how to adapt their perfected reset mentality and methods to replicate in the confines of our own homes. We recommend you take a deep breath and give this episode a listen on your next walk in the great outdoors.

When you hear the word ’therapy’ what comes to mind? A traumatic childhood? Depression? Anxiety? For years now, therapy has had a stigma—you must be TROUBLED! Hold on. Let’s de-stigmatize that—therapy is NOT (nor should it be) a dirty word. Enter Emmalee Bierly and Jennifer Chaiken, the Shrink Chicks, and ultimate therapy duo, who are no doubt shifting the paradigm for the better. We all deserve to have an outlet and the opportunity to better ourselves with a person we can trust, unwaveringly. We talk all things detoxing our lives, ridding of toxic relationships, setting boundaries, and so much more. You’re seriously going to love this one.

It’s January. That we know to be true. Perhaps you’ve heard of a little thing called “Dry January?” The buzzy trend that’s become a yearly tradition to many, pausing drinking for the time being, a month, at that. As social drinkers ourselves, we tapped a few experts to talk all things non-alcoholic beverages, sober curiosity, dry challenges and beyond. Meet Dawn Maire and Jamie Coulter of Starla Wines—the first and only ultra-premium alcohol removed wine created for wine lovers wishing to nix the spirits but savor the experience. With journalist Hilary Sheinbaum in the mix to shed light on how Dry January started as a bet and turned into an eyeopening life change, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Just like the old adage goes, “new year, new us.” The only problem is, who can actually stick to that promise? A new you in the new year is a tall ask. Actually, unrealistic, if not completely unnecessary. Sure, we could all use some self-improvement, but, hey, isn’t life meant to be a work in progress? Who do we think we are trying to re-invent ourselves year after year? Madonna? So, let’s back up for a moment. We have a new proposal for you: "new year, same us (just a little bit better)." Isn’t that what we’re all striving for anyway? This episode is just us, taking you into the new year with a fresh start and a bright outlook. Nothing drastic, just a few, small, attainable steps forward. Oh, and by the way, thanks for being on this ride with us. We can’t wait to include you in all that 2023 brings.

It was a year for the books—sartorially (beauty) speaking and beyond. We found ourselves glowing and growing. We tried everything and then some. You know it’s a good product when you find yourself not only reaching for it on a daily basis, but using every last drop, and hitting re-order in advance of running out. This was a hard list to put together and is more edited than ever before. It’s just the absolute best. No fluff. Meet your ultimate end-of-year curation. These are the one’s that made the cut. From primers that are so good they act as makeup, to cleansers that do double duty, and lipglosses so iridescent they make you shine, this is the creme de la creme of beauty products from the past year. No doubt will they be going into 2023 with us. Maybe even 2024 too.

It’s a true art form. Plastic surgery, that is. You could even say a plastic surgeon holds a similar role to that of a magician. In fact, today’s guest has experience in both. It’s simple: you go in one way and come out another—and that’s exactly what attracted Dr. Steven Levine to the aesthetic plastic surgery field to begin with. There’s no grey area. As one of New York City's (and the world’s) finest, he’s perfected his craft to a T and has a keen eye for what makes both women and men look like their most natural (but better) selves. We get into when it’s the right time to go under the knife (you might be surprised by this answer), what to avoid at all costs, and the type of plastic surgeon to steer clear of. Get your pen and paper out because this is one note-worthy episode.

An OG influencer, you might know her from The Chriselle Factor. Or maybe you know her from being the #1 fashion expert on YouTube. Or maybe, just maybe, you know her as the founder of one of the chicest fragrance brands, Phlur. Missing person, anyone? Point is, Chriselle Lim is a badass (and mom of two) and we greatly admire her for that. Having recently gone through a divorce, she’s found herself embracing strength in vulnerability and turning to community more than ever before. And, she’s not afraid to tell you, she’s officially entered her ‘bitch era.’ From power dressing to powerful fragrances that evoke even more powerful memories, she’s re-defining what it means to be working mother today.
