Welcome to "The Inhabit Interview," a show all about habits, in service of relationships.

I'm Julie Shain, the host and founder of Inhabit—a newsletter, platform, and podcast. I started Inhabit because I wanted a place to gather information about the habits that enhance our relationships and help us lead rich, meaningful lives. Those include sleep and nutrition habits that help us show up better with friends and family.

But they also include the lesser-known habits: the questions we do or don’t ask when starting a conversation. How we regularly host gatherings (or don’t) to promote connection. The chore distributions that can support or weaken a marriage over time.

“The Inhabit Interview” examines these questions alongside authors, comedians, actors, and entrepreneurs. What are the habits that make their lives work? Which are the ones they wish they adopted earlier—and recommend broadly?

I’m not gonna lie, it’s an all-star lineup. You'll hear from:

• “The Power of Habit” author Charles Duhigg
• Economist Emily Oster
• Actress Allison Williams
• “The Happiness Project” author Gretchen Rubin
• The Glucose Goddess Jessie Inchauspé
• The Vagina Whisperer Dr. Sara Reardon

…and so many others.
