  • Thicker Than Water ft. Ashley Shubert

    On this episode of What's Bugging Us, I am joined by mindfulness coach Ashley Shubert, who also happens to be a personal mentor to me. Ashley and I chat about why all the work we do on ourselves seems to fly out the window when we spend time with family, and how we can learn to accept the ones we love without trying to change them. This episode scratches the surface on dealing with tricky family dynamics and reminds us why blood is thicker than water!

  • The Man with a Salmon in His Hands ft. Oobah Butler

    On this episode of What's Bugging Us, I am joined by Oobah Butler, a filmmaker and LA Times bestselling author, who famously took an imaginary restaurant to the top of the TripAdvisor ratings system. We sit down to talk about another viral video, where Oobah sent an actor on behalf of Stephen Fasteau, to play Stephen at his high school reunion. This episode is a good mix of us getting existential and goofing off - and someone is furiously typing in the second half, but we're not pointing fingers...
