Monocycle with Leandra Medine

In this week's episode of Monocycle, Leandra talks about her addiction to the comfort zone -- that area that prohibits us from tackling the hard or uncomfortable tasks in our day. What happens when we get caught in those black holes that prohibit us from doing the things we need to do? Like we're existing, but with 50-pound weights attached to our legs?

How do we identify this addiction and ultimately, what do we do to break it? Good news! The first step is awareness. So plug in your headphones and take a listen.

Man Repeller is officially six years old. Did you know that through it all, the website's written description of what it means to be a man repeller has never been updated? Not once. It's time to expound upon the definition, but it wouldn't be right without your help.

So! Using this week's recording as a launch pad to open the flood gates of what it means to read, engage with and experience Man Repeller, let's talk about our mission together. What does Man Repeller mean to you?

This week’s episode of Monocycle is practically like having an audio stylist who may or may not be a serial killer given the information she feeds you and the way in which she suggests you should dress. Of course, you won't be killed, but rather walked through the way in which you choose to present your thesis to the world without actually having to explain yourself!

No? Okay. But please, do show us what you’re actually wearing. Either in the comment feed below or via Instagram using the hashtag #MRMonocycle.

This week's episode of Monocycle tackles our theme of the month, mental health, by talking through how we determined this would-be the theme that followed last month (and stood as preface for next month! Which will require that you let your hair down and dance until your feet fall off). Leandra also talks about talking yourself down from an anxiety attack, which she's not always the best at, but trying is better than crying, right? We've all been there. Enjoy the listen.

After taking a week off, today's episode of Monocycle kicks off a case study called: Do You Care? It's all about the process of building these episodes -- coming up with the concepts, the actual recording, the questions that you don't hear -- it's like an audio behind-the-scenes. Let us know what you think and if you enjoy it. If you don't, of course, we can go back to regular programming -- the best programming! -- where we talk about feeling our feelings and how that feels.

The hormones are back. On this week's episode of Monocycle, Leandra confronts her narcissism, yells at herself and tries to turn negatives into positives. All anecdotes are shared with the intention that you'll be able to connect with them, of course, because at the end of the day, aren't we all "going through stuff"? Might as well hold each other's hands along the way.

This week's episode of Monocycle is about productivity. Leandra procrastinated for two hours until she finally recorded this episode, so lucky for listeners it also features the most efficient human on earth: Leandra's husband, Abie Cohen. We'd reveal his advice here, but then you wouldn't listen to the episode. So! Have at it, use the bathroom and get your stuff done so you can party into the weekend like Cher on The Ed Sullivan Show.

In this week’s episode of Monocycle, Leandra talks about the "Saturday State of Mind." Could there be a way to turn the excited feeling of an imminent Saturday into a state of mind as opposed to mere fact of existence? And if there is, would Sunday Scaries become Sunday Sillies? Oh what a way to force calm unto yourself! And if not because you need to figure out how to quit feeling like a paralyzed bird on Sunday nights, then simply because this episode features two interludes for rap music. Happy (real) Friday! Let’s keep the momentum going, eh?

This week's episode of Monocycle tackles some of the questions that you asked in our Love Your Career Month post, questions like: How do people find jobs? Is it a bad thing to feel like you're learning as you go (instead of knowing it all before hand)? How do you navigate work and life in your twenties so that you set yourself up for success in your thirties? And so on. Pop your headphones in for Leandra's answers but don't stop shouting out new queries. It helps us help you and together we'll keep this podcast running like a rainforest with a perfect ecosystem.

Welcome back to Monocycle. This week's episode tackles precisely the reason we didn't post last week: Paris. As in, fashion week. But beyond that and beyond the clothes, we explore the feeling of being...gluttonous. The condition of living in 2016 means that we have so many choices and are confronted with them every second of every day. Maybe you, too, are feeling a little bit like you want to streamline the choice buggy. Or maybe not! Either way, enjoy. And for the love of content, please talk to us about what else you'd like to hear on here!
