That Greenwich Life

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: I am beyond grateful to the sponsors who made this season possible.

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. A heartfelt thank-you to the incredible sponsors who made this episode possible: • Xplorearth: The must-have travel guide for adventure-seekers, luxury travelers, and families looking for unforgettable experiences.

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. A big thank-you to the incredible sponsors who make this show possible: • Illume Fertility: A leading fertility and family-building practice offering expert, compassionate care.

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: Room For Paws Pet Resort in Stamford, CT, for taking such great care of our furry family members.

In This Episode: • How Amy and I went from covering pop culture to where we are now • The shift from chasing external validation to building a career that aligns with your values. • The wild, behind-the-scenes stories of early 2000s Hollywood—including a pre-fame Kim Kardashian and Bethenny Frankel. • The evolution of media and why reinvention is essential for staying relevant. • Why today's version of success is all about peace, confidence, and authenticity.

January was such an incredible month, and we're kicking off February with a solo episode that dives deep into self-discovery, personal growth, and a more focused mission for this show. I've been thinking a lot about what truly matters—not just for this podcast, but in my own life. Over the past year, I've navigated some big personal revelations, reevaluated what brings me joy, and made a conscious decision to create a space right here that fosters connection, healing, and authenticity. We don't always have to have everything figured out, and I'm working on giving myself permission to keep things messy and always evolving – with a mindset of "we'll see" – and I invite you to do the same. I played around with the show intro to make sure it really captured the essence of the show - and me, your host. I'm not totally there yet but will keep working on it! In this episode: • Reflections on our Five-Part January 2025 Glow-Up Series and how it's setting the tone for the year ahead. • A behind-the-scenes look at why I updated the show's teaser and trailer—what I've learned about myself and how I want this space to evolve. • Why I didn't turn this into a Greenwich gossip show (despite the temptation) and how my past as a celebrity reporter shaped that decision. • The personal struggles that redefined my perspective—from infertility and pregnancy loss to rebuilding a life that truly aligns with who I am. • The transformative power of the phrase "We'll see"—why it can change the way you approach life's challenges and uncertainties. • A beautiful quote from Yung Pueblo that perfectly captures the heart of this podcast and the kind of energy I want to cultivate. This episode is all about stepping into alignment, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing the journey—even when we don't have all the answers. Don't Forget to Shop the Merch! Treat yourself or a friend to That Greenwich Life merch—because self-care includes cozy hoodies and the perfect coffee mug. Find it all at DorothyOnTV.com under the Shop tab!
