This One Time, At Band Camp...

August 02, 2020 18:00 - 1 hour - 74.6 MB

King, Icon, Legend Anthony makes his dramatic return. We talk about daydreaming (is it a friend or foe?), our high school crushes (though Anthony is very happily married to my friend Anna, who is also an angel on Earth), what we’ve been up to since we last hung out virtually, and much MUCH more.  Whilst musing alone, I discuss a dream I had where I was a soccer player and what that means for me. Can dreams serve us? I also discuss my hot takes when it comes to Ladies of London (LOL) and whe...

Winter Song

Black Lives Matter. I want justice for all of the oppressed. I want to stand by my Black friends, colleagues and fellow human beings. And I am open to continually learning and becoming better. I want to be better and fight for justice. Let’s talk to our friends and family and learn from one another. Let’s come together. In this episode, I also (briefly?) share my feelings about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (who else loves Garcelle? More to come of my love for her in the future) and RHO...

13 Going on 30 (or 31…)

June 17, 2020 03:00 - 1 hour - 60.1 MB

In this episode, I sit down with one of my brethren, Anthony (@raholland71). He is my friend and the husband of my dear friend, Anna (nope, it doesn’t get any cuter than that). After slaying the dragon of technology, we enjoy a candid conversation about ADHD and anxiety, relationships (in and out of quarantine), the origins of my friendship with his wife (story involves a mutual love of Lord of the Rings), how I will always be older than him, what the purpose of my podcast should be, and mor...

There's No Place Like Home

May 25, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MB

In this episode, I sit down with MY DAD, a true renaissance man. He is a civil engineer, a thespian, an animal lover, a yard artist (he can beautify any yard), a rancher, a husband, a friend, and a dad. His laugh is also contagious. I dare you not to smile when he laughs. What can’t he do? I’m not exactly sure, to be honest. He shares so many nuggets of wisdom in this conversation and is plain FUN to talk with. He talks about his childhood, overcoming obstacles, paying his way through school...

Come Spiral with Me…with Lemon Water!?

April 27, 2020 05:00 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MB

This is a solo episode where I broadcast from “Closet Studios” and chat about a string of anxious musings as well as possible solutions and coping mechanisms for said musings. Topics include but are not limited to: quarantine cozy home bubbles and post quarantine life anxiety; not talking about what’s really wrong in therapy; “harassing” friends into coming onto future episodes of the show; making decisions; not being a Rachel Hollis fan; and of course, “Oprah’s Book Club,” correctly known a...

Introverts Need Love, Too

April 12, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 67.9 MB

In this episode, I sit down with “Queen, Icon, Legend” (credit: Danny Pellegrino), Amber Forrest, a THREE time band member, digital marketing maven, dog mom, pop culture enthusiast and “cool girl” that makes everyone in her life feel like a million bucks. She is an introvert who loves alone time. In our conversation, we touch on what we are learning about ourselves and our favorite and least favorite (cue comparison) coping skills during the COVID-19 pandemic, how we both prefer a few days’ ...

Coping in the Time of Corona

April 05, 2020 00:00 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MB

Broadcasting from Quarantine 2020, this is Coping Skills, a podcast where we talk about the HOW in overcoming anxiety (and mental health issues of all kinds), run-of-the-mill human imperfection and doubt, and imposter syndrome in order to enact positive routines and achieve the kinds of things that Tim Ferris and Jordan Harbinger teach us about. AKA: I want to know how people scale life’s emotional and sometimes physiological mountains to think about and do what matters. Second AKA: I want t...
