This very special FIRST episode of Season 2 of That Greenwich Life presented by RMANY was recorded LIVE just a few days ago at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, where an incredible room full of women gathered for an evening of community, conversation, and purpose. Thanks to the generosity in the room, we raised $13,700 and counting for Pencils of Promise, helping expand access to education for children around the world.

The evening began with an elevated cocktail reception with The DJ Tys on the turntables, signature cocktails “The TGL” and “RMANY’s Seed of Hope” , passed hors d’oeuvres, a hot pink step and repeat with a lot of kisses, hugs, laughs and flashbulbs happening in front of it - and the evening all culminated in what you hear in this episode. There were amazing brands with all the latest wellness services and products around the room, a cotton candy machine, disco ball vases full of pink roses, gift bags overflowing with incredible products and the kind of main character energy that is contagious.

I took the stage to discuss how change really begins the moment you decide to show up differently, sharing some of my personal challenges—like infertility and loss—and how they’ve shaped my perspective on resilience, empathy, and growth. I reflected on the power of gratitude and how embracing authenticity can ripple out to impact everyone around us. 

Then a special guest joined: Dr. Lucky Sekhon — a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist and OB-GYN at RMA of New York, on-air expert, and advocate for women. She shared amazing insights on reinvention, identity, aging, fertility, burnout, and the mental load. Her book, The Lucky Egg, drops Jan 13 - preorder it now! 

Whether you were cheering in the audience or you are listening now from home, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, grounded, and seen.

     Welcome to Episode 44 of That Greenwich Life! This episode marks the final episode of Season One, and I’m taking a moment to reflect on the incredible journey this podcast has been.
When I launched this show last year, I had no idea what it would become—how many people it would positively impact, how deeply personal it would get, and how much it would push me to grow. Over the past year, I’ve shared my own stories and the stories of my incredible guests about motherhood, grief, career pivots, personal reinvention, and all the messy, beautiful, complicated moments in between.
     But as I always say on this show, we have to listen to what’s right for us. And right now, I know it’s time to pause, reset, and make space for what’s next.
     In this episode, I’m sharing:
•        Why I’m taking a break—and why pausing is sometimes the most powerful decision.
•        How stepping away from something can help us grow in new ways—personally, creatively, and professionally.
•        What’s next? I may not have all the answers, but I’m embracing the “we’ll see” mindset.
 
     Thank You to This Season’s Sponsors:

     Welcome to Episode 43 of That Greenwich Life! If you’re looking for travel inspo for your next vacation, this episode is for you. Most of you know I’ve been a travel writer for over a decade, and if I had a dollar for every person who has asked me through the years, “What’s the best trip you’ve ever taken?” or “What trip should everyone take at least once in their lifetime?,” I’d have my own private jet big enough to fit each and every one of you.
     This week I’m joined by Harsh Patil, the CEO and founder of Xplorearth, a luxury travel company specializing in bucket-list experiences, to talk more about my answer to both of those questions time and again – African safaris!  Harsh shares his deep knowledge of this experience and why you don’t need to wait until “someday” to go.
     We cover everything you need to know—when to go, how to plan, what to expect, and why safaris are so much more accessible than people think (yes, even for families with kids!). Plus, Harsh shares his insider travel tips and some of the other incredible, off-the-beaten-path adventures he curates around the world.

In This Episode:
•        The best time of year to go on safari (hint: it’s more flexible than you think!).
•        How to plan a family-friendly safari and why it’s an incredible experience for kids.
•        Harsh’s insider travel recommendations
•        Why your travel dollars matter—how luxury safaris contribute to conservation and support local communities.

     Welcome to Episode 42 of That Greenwich Life! We only have two more weeks until the Season One finale, and this may be one of my favorite shows yet because it’s something I’ve been dying to share with you for months now.
     If – like me - you’ve been waking up exhausted, feeling anxious, or you’re just looking for a simple and natural way to boost your energy, this episode is for you.
     I’m diving into something that has completely transformed my sleep, my energy levels, and even my overall well-being—mouth taping! It sounds scary – I know! But I promise you it’s not! It forces you to breath through your nose and reap amazing health benefits while you catch your beauty rest.
     To break down the science behind breathing and why nose breathing is crucial for your health day AND night, I’m joined by Jenn Warwick, a certified breathwork expert and founder of Breathe for Life. Jen explains how the way we breathe impacts our nervous system, our sleep quality, our stress levels, and even our ability to think clearly.

     Welcome to Episode 41 of That Greenwich Life! This week, we’re tackling something so many of us struggle with—anxiety, mom guilt, and the overwhelming pressure to do it all. But here are things we can do – real tangible tools to use when life gets to be too much.
     I’m joined by Alison Seponara, a licensed therapist, anxiety expert, and best-selling author of The Anxiety Healer’s Guide. You probably know her from @TheAnxietyHealer on Instagram, where she shares practical, accessible tools to help manage anxiety in everyday life and actually enjoy the moments we work so hard to create.
     In this conversation, I’m getting honest about the mental load of motherhood, the never-ending guilt trip we put ourselves on, and why so many of us are stuck in “I have to do it all” mode—even when we don’t have to be.
     If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in schedules, expectations, or the never-ending to-do list, this episode is for you.
     In This Episode:
•        Why anxiety thrives on unpredictability—and how to take back control.
•        The mental load of parenting and why asking for help feels so hard.
•        How to stop “should-ing” all over yourself and release the guilt.
•        Simple, therapist-approved techniques to calm your nervous system in the moment.

     Welcome to Episode 40 of That Greenwich Life! As I'm getting closer to wrapping up Season 1, I’m scrapping my planned topic this week to talk about something real, raw, and deeply personal.  As my daughter's 2nd birthday and the 6-year anniversary of my baby's passing approaches within weeks of each other, I'm reminded that dark and light, grief and joy, beauty and pain will always exist side-by-side. Sometimes, life reminds us that certain moments—certain seasons—will always hold weight, no matter how much time passes.
     If you’ve ever struggled with loss, trauma, or the complicated emotions that surface during anniversaries of pain, this episode is for you. Grief and healing aren’t linear, but they are part of what makes us who we are.
     The body truly keeps the score. From the trauma of loss to my journey through infertility and ultimately to the miracle of my daughter’s birth, this episode is about recognizing how deeply our past remains within us—and learning how to honor it while moving forward.

In This Episode:
•        Why certain times of the year trigger deep emotional responses—and how to navigate them.
•        My personal journey through loss, infertility, and healing—and what it taught me about resilience.
•        The moment I realized my body was shutting down from grief—and how I started to heal.
•        The unexpected full-circle moment that tied my past pain to the birth of my daughter.
•        The importance of giving yourself grace, space, and permission to feel it all.

     If you’ve ever felt burnt out, ready to pivot, or unsure of what’s next or just "DONE, "this episode is your reminder that who you are at your core never really changes—you just evolve.
     This week, I’m joined by Samantha Yanks, (Instagram: @SamanthaYanks) an editorial powerhouse with a storied career in media. From Vogue and Oprah Magazine to her years as Editor-in-Chief of Hamptons and Gotham Magazine, Samantha has seen—and shaped—the evolution of luxury media.

     Welcome to Episode 38 of Season 1 of That Greenwich Life! This week, I’m taking a moment to reflect on staying grounded, finding balance, and letting go of the hustle—especially when life (or vacation) feels like a whirlwind.
     This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re always going, planning, doing—but struggling to simply be.
     After an epic February break with my family—first at Beaches Turks & Caicos, then at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida—I realized just how much our nervous systems dictate how we move through life. Whether it’s rushing from one resort activity to the next, trying to make the most of every moment, or simply forgetting to pause and breathe, this trip reminded me of the power of presence over planning.
     I also take a deep dive into a difficult chapter of my life—navigating IVF, loss, and the deep emotional toll of it all. Returning to Universal Studios years later, under completely different circumstances, was a powerful full-circle moment that reminded me how much healing can happen over time.

In This Episode:
•        How an over-scheduled vacation made me realize I was still operating in hustle mode.
•        The difference between being present and just checking things off a to-do list.
•        The full-circle moment of returning to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter after one of the hardest seasons of my life.
•        Navigating IVF, loss, and the unexpected ways healing happens over time.
•        Why true grounding comes from within—not from the perfect plan, place, or schedule.

     Welcome to Episode 37 of That Greenwich Life! This week, we’re shifting gears and diving into something we all need more of—humor. Because let’s be real, life is chaotic, motherhood is exhausting, and the only way to survive it all is to laugh through the madness.
     Joining me is Megan Schinella, the creator behind one of my favorite Instagram accounts - @meganschinella, where she shares hilarious and oh-so-relatable takes on parenting, social media, and the absurdity of everyday life. Megan’s content is the perfect reminder that we don’t have to take it all so seriously—and that humor can be one of our greatest tools for getting through tough times.

     This episode is for anyone who needs a break from the stress, a good laugh, and a reminder that we’re all just figuring it out as we go.
  We talk about everything from raising teens - and their Sephora obsessions - to how social media can be a double-edged sword when it comes to validation and creativity. Megan also shares the incredible story of how Spencer Pratt (yes, Spencer and Heidi from The Hills) ended up collaborating on one of her reels.

     In This Episode:
•        Why humor is the best survival tool for motherhood, stress, and everything in between.
•        The hilarious reality of social media, validation, and dealing with internet trolls.
•        How embracing imperfection can make life (and parenting) so much more fun.

     A big shoutout to our amazing sponsors who make this show possible:
