October 26, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 70.8 MBThere’s nothing like running a business to reveal the deepest core of who you are.

October 10, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 76.6 MBIt’s time to get clear on your boundaries once and for all. We all know how important boundaries are, right? It feels like we’ve been having the discussion for decades. And yet, who has actually taken the time to define what they are—and most importantly, hold them strong in our daily lives? Especially as we head into holidays, which are filled with friends and family and each of them making demands on you and your time, all while trying to take a vacation and relax and enjoy the holidays yo...
208. Unpacking the Emotional Labor and Invisible Work of Women with Eve Rodsky
October 04, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 82.7 MBOn the surface, it may seem you and your partner put in equal parts effort when it comes to the home, relationship, and parenting. But underneath all the tangible to-dos lives an invisible emotional layer of emotional labor. There’s a level of exhaustion brought on by the constant, unrelenting consideration of others that women are so familiar with. It’s thanks to Eve Rodsky that I’m even aware of this phenomenon, let alone have the vocabulary to express it. She’s out on a mission to change ...
207. Relationship Truths, Feeling Seen and Owning Your Complex Love Story with Rachel Facio and Stacey Sherrell
September 26, 2022 11:00 - 58 minutes - 66.9 MBControversial statement incoming: Relationships are hard. No, but seriously, whether it’s friends, family, or romantic partnerships, coordinating our individual journeys and evolutions alongside others is complicated. All the relationship advice of the past feels woefully outdated, which is where Stacey Sherrell and Rachel Facio, AKA Decoding Couples, come in. They are both licensed marriage and family therapists that know firsthand the struggles of partnership. They’re here to turn relation...
206. Syncing Your Skincare to Your Cycle with Annie Tevelin
September 19, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 74.7 MBGuess what, ladies—that “time of the month” isn’t just affecting us at one time. In fact, our monthly cycle can affect us all differently from week to week… including our skin. Most of us don’t know what to do about acne, especially when it comes on infrequently. If you’re breaking out consistently every month but don’t know why or what to do about it, I’ve got you covered. I’m going to break down the four phases that happen every month, and what products you should be using during each part...
205. Anchoring Presence and The Brevity of Your Time On Earth with Nicole Sciacca and Sharzad Kiadeh
September 12, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 72 MBLooking back at our evolution can be challenging. All the evidence is there—a digital paper trail of memories that, at times, seems hard to believe comes straight from the lives we once lived. While it can be hard to embrace the changes we’ve gone through, nothing is more healing than seeing them as a side-effect of the life you’ve lived, not the destroyer of the life you had. Enter the “roundtable of real” with past Off The Record guests Nicole Sciacca and Sharzad Kiadeh, where we talk abou...

203. The Parenthood Remix: I Was a Child of the Nineties with Micah Golden-Grant
August 30, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 91.1 MBWe are children of the 90s, and let’s be real: things were very different then. Our only point of reference for the world was TV and the people around us—and, I guess, Seventeen Magazine. Nowadays kids have to contend with social media and seeing a (fake) version of people’s lives that looks so much better than their own life. Parenting in the 90s was about as different as being a kid in the 90s. We’re going to discuss the beast that is parenting around all of that, the fears and expectation...
202. Replacing Go with Slow with Annie Tevelin
August 22, 2022 11:00 - 56 minutes - 64.1 MBLife moves fast. Before you know it you’re raising a toddler, your second marriage is suddenly outpacing your first, and you’re building a business across the country from where you’ve lived most of your adult life. We need rest. Humans find it so hard to just allow ourselves to be present, optimistic, and slow down for just long enough to understand how short and beautiful life is. Let’s talk about celebrating the small wins in life, the massive lie of multitasking that has led to our colle...
201. Manifesting Your Gifts, Beckoning Mindset Shifts and Microdosing with Krista Williams
August 15, 2022 11:00 - 56 minutes - 65.1 MBMany of us want to leave our mark on earth to show that our time here meant something. The internet gives us unrestricted access to (certain parts of) the lives of complete strangers as we watch them live their dreams, find their purpose, and—most surprisingly—follow their meal plans. We’re picking up where the last generations left off, trying to do the work internally and externally, think both globally and locally, and unpack our own baggage carefully and intentionally. Krista Williams, c...
200. Two Hundred Episodes, Two Hundred-ish Recommendations
August 08, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 93.3 MBFolks, we’ve made it. Two hundred episodes. If you would have told me that I’d experience a pregnancy, childbirth, cross-country move, and a global pandemic, there is no way I would have been able to believe it. When I thought about what this episode should be about, I considered what the podcast has been missing. And one of those things is just straightforward recommendations. I get asked for recommendations all the time, but I’ve never had a chance to share them here on the podcast. So li...

198. The Parenthood Remix: What Even Are We Talking About with Micah Golden-Grant
July 25, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBA warning up front: This is a podcast about nothing. That’s not to say it’s not about anything, or there isn’t value to be had, but it goes to some places we didn’t expect. Just like parenting, you never know what you’re going to get from The Parenthood Remix. One of the best things about this podcast is making time for conversations as a couple, and sometimes that means getting it all off your chest: Protecting your kid from taking a dangerous leap off the couch, the way we show up as peopl...
197. The Power of Relatability and Filter-Free Influencing with Nicki Marie
July 18, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 62.1 MBOne of the blessings of the modern era of online connectivity is the ability to find a like-minded cohort of whatever you’re going through or interested in, be it a bordering-on-unhealthy obsession with Corgis or a knack for kitchen organization. We all want to belong, and that’s what Nicki Marie delivers in droves. She somehow manages to keep it real all while pulling us into her life. In this conversation, we discuss how her 'come as you are' social media style amassed millions of follower...

June 27, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBEvery once in a while, I’m fortunate enough to be on the other end of the mic on some amazing podcasts—and often I think they would make a great listen here with you.

She’s been a guest of Off The Record in the past, and I was honored to be a part of hers. We talk about my backstory and why I founded SkinOwl in the ...

June 20, 2022 11:00 - 53 minutes - 48.7 MBLife becomes easier or harder based on the state and quality of your relationships. From our early relationships with our parents, to friends and siblings, eventually to our own children—and let’s not forget our relationship with ourselves—our relationships shape who we are and act as a lever adjusting the stress and strain of life. Sheleana Aiyana, the founder of Rising Woman, helps women take those relationships and bring them home to self. We’re going to look at how you can learn to trust...

If you’re a business owner, I hope this story inspires you, helps you, and shows you what can be unraveled whe...
192. Unpacking Pregnancy Loss and Fertility Challenges with Frieda Hoffman
June 06, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBDespite the frequency of miscarriage and pregnancy loss, we have yet to approach the conversation as a culture from a place of understanding and empathy. After Frieda Hoffman’s second miscarriage, she felt alone, emotionally overwhelmed, and unheard. She created the resource she wished she had at that time: real stories about real women going through what she had, but without the lens of academia or religion to devalue people’s valid emotional responses. Her book, “Carry Me: Stories of Pregn...

May 30, 2022 11:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MBLook, there’s plenty of information out there about what happens between you and your child once they’re born, but what happens to the couple’s relationship after that baby comes into the scene? And really, something that most couples struggle with in life after birth – and not just immediately after birth, but for the rest of their lives – is finding time for each other. We’re gonna talk about the contrast between our relationship before and after kids and how we try to keep the spark alive...

May 23, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBRemember when eating well was as easy as trusting the label and following the food pyramid? Or at least that’s what we believed.

She shares all about the dirty practices of the food industry, how regenerative farming can help us take back our food, and what you can do to get starte...
189. Using Our Anxiety for Good with Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary
May 16, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBAnxiety used to be understood as something you felt, not something you had – at least that’s how I understood it until the point in life where I just couldn’t grasp the bigness of everything and couldn’t shake the sense of impending doom. So I kept productive and outran those feelings, which made things better… until it didn’t. Running can’t solve those problems. As Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary puts it, “The key to feeling good is knowing how to feel bad.” She’s the author of Future Tense: Why An...

We have more information, more access to it, and more opportunities than ever to take care of ourselves. But we also have more to contend with ...

April 26, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 67.6 MBThis Parenthood Remix goes a bit off the rails. But you know what? We’re going to give ourselves some grace because that’s what this episode is all about. As parents, you’re constantly bombarded with advice – solicited or otherwise. And with advice comes the implication – intended or not – that you’re not doing things right. Look, there’s no “right” way to parent, and we’re all doing the best we can. So we’re going to take look at what it means to cut yourself some slack when you fall short ...

You’re feeling all of the emotions, from the highest highs to the lowest lows. Then, some well-meaning relative pops in and says “When’s number two on the way?” without even giving your lady parts time to rest. And let me tell you, the question never stops coming—and if it does, it only gets replaced by “Why’d you stop at one?” There are some weird cultural expectations around kids, and when you go against ...

March 14, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBMental health, once a taboo topic rarely talked about in the open, is quickly becoming one of the biggest discussions of our time.
