The Papaya Podcast

Have you ever felt that others just knew how to lead, how to navigate social media, have more emotional regulation or just pretty much having it together? Today we sit down with clinical psychologist, Dr Jody Carrington about exactly this: emotional regulation and learning when you don’t have the script yet. We talk about happiness, and the fact that NO ONE is happy ALL the time, but we can be vulnerable with our joy.

“I can't remember anyone I've seen at a public pool with such a memorable body, good or bad that I think about it ever again” - Josie Balka, our guest today… and that quote? From a sound bite you’ve likely heard thousands of times across social media. But where did it come from? Josie shares her struggle to accept her voice, find her words and share her lived experience through her “self proclaimed writing” and spoken word. If you’ve ever experienced a changing body (ahem, all of us) or want to find YOUR voice, your story, or just listen to some words to find a place for it all to land, this episode is for you.

Discussions of plastic surgery, near-death, weight loss and miscarriage topics are all in this episode.

Once a month neighbours Sarah & Becci welcome you to the neighbourhood of confessions, advice, and straight up settling age-old debates. Today we read some emails we received asking questions like what to do if your kid wants to meet a friend from online? Or, how would you handle a male partner that has a lower sex drive than you and not feel bad about yourself? Or - do we believe loved ones come back and visit us? Join us as we explore our non-expectopinion based only chats on life, love, and the real messy things we just wanna dive head first into.

Bethanie & Anthony Garcia are the power couple behind The Garcia Diaries instagram and podcast where they open up in very real ways about life, love, and well…bodies too! Bethanie grew an instagram following for her honest approach to motherhood and podpartum, body image and more. THEN, opened up about her own choices such as things she regrets (weight loss injections) and things she doesn’t (a boob job). You know, the big gray area that nobody wants to talk about: Body Image & Body Autonomy. We get into how Anthony supported her choices and how Bethanie ultimately has been managing in the backlash of being honest. We also talk about their separation, social media (and ok… a little bit about the Eagles).

Follow Bethanie @TheGarciaDiaries and Anthony’s at @SirGarciaDiaries and finally listen to their podcast The Garcia Diaries.

After a little hiatus we are back and ready to bare it all, kinda. Reflecting on what nearly had me decided to end the podcast and ultimately choosing to move forward with it. Looking back on the last year, mental health, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and having to choose what “success” is. Because if it’s all in the numbers, and not in your heart? I don’t think we’re winning. 

PLUS, we make an announcement of a new upcoming series on @ThePapayaPodcast that YOU can be a part of!

In the middle of a pandemic with a visible gap in the market of nails, one woman came up with an idea, tossed it around with friends, created a brand name and then WENT FOR IT. Today Bailey joins us to talk about what it took to go from idea to reality, imposter syndrome to scoring two Dragons on Dragon’s Den and just all it can take for a small business to make it among the big fish.
