Does Gen X Have Mental Health All Wrong? Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

But those days are over.

No one should have to white knuckle their way through life. We all deserve to feel healthy and free of the stigma and shame we used to feel when turning to mental health resources.

If you haven't heard of Anna Przybylski, oh you will! Anna is the brave and totally hilarious millennial taking TikTok and Instagram by storm with her fresh, honest approach to mental health. Anna's not-so-serious tone and approach allows us all to laugh a little at the pressures we all feel.

In this episode, Anna and I talk mental health and wellness, the difference in perspective we see when it comes to Gen X and millennials, and how we can begin to shed ourselves of judgement, expectations and start to heal from some of the programming we've experienced in our lives.

Follow Anna on her website, Instagram and TikTok

What's the Next Right Step? Jul 19, 2023

A Matter of Life and Near Death Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

The last time Nikki Boyer and I spoke on The Grown-Ass Woman's guide, it was March 11, 2020. We sat across from each other at a restaurant in the LA area, with pretty much no idea that would not only be the last time we’d record in a public space, but none of us would be spending time in any restaurant for a long, long time. You can hear that episode here.

In that episode, Nikki talked about her podcast, Dying for Sex, a show she hosted with her best friend Molly, after Molly was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer. When struck with that life-altering news, Molly decided to leave her unhappy marriage and embark on a series of sexual adventures to feel alive. 12 million listens and a Podcast of the Year award later, that podcast is something people are still talking about to this day.

During the recording of Dying for Sex, Nikki met a hospital chaplain named Peggy. The two form a friendship and now host Near Death, a podcast that makes it easier — and dare I say entertaining — to talk about death in a way that not only decreases fear, but inspires conversations that we all should be having.
About: Nikki Boyer is a three time Emmy® award-winning TV host, producer, actress and podcaster. She created, hosted, and is Executive Producer of the breakout Wondery podcast, Dying for Sex, which won the 2021 Ambie Award for Podcast of the Year --- and was named one of Apple’s favorite podcasts of 2020.

In the midst of the global pandemic, Nikki hosted nearly 200 episodes of Wondery’s The Daily Smile, a podcast about good news, and launched Call Me Curious via Wondery+, a lighthearted investigative series delves into offbeat topics. Nikki co-hosts the popular weekly podcast, Straight Talk with Ross Mathews, which recently recorded its 450th episode.

Nikki co-hosted the 2021 Ambies Awards show and was a regular guest contributor to The Wendy Williams Show for over 8 seasons. She has appeared on virtually every major television talk show, most recently as a guest on The Drew Barrymore Show, supporting the launch of Call Me Curious. Along with Kevin Sabbe, she co-created and was Co-Executive Producer of Step Girlfriends, a television concept based on her real life, optioned by CBS Studios. Nikki made her mark hosting Yahoo!’s ultra-popular Daytime in No Time, where she was the most watched host on the internet during the series five-year run.

It's Never Too Late (But You Need to Get Going) Apr 22, 2023

Show notes

Back in 2011, and still in my early 30s, I launched my very first podcast. I was a co-host of a show called Broadcast that tackled pop culture and current events, but always through the lens of a woman. One of the things I loved about doing that show was having someone else to chat with and bounce ideas off of. Sometimes we interviewed newsmakers, but sometimes we just talked candidly about what was on our minds. That’s why I’ve opened up to the idea of occasional co-hosted episodes here at TGAWG. In fact, if you’re listening now and thinking YES! I would love to do that, here's the application.
My co-host today is Jen Vertanen. You’re going to love her. She’s honest, vulnerable and really funny. We talk everything from relationships to losing loved ones to life coaching — and we’ve got some opinions on that one. To connect with all things Jen, visit JenVertanen.com

About: Jen Vertanen is a mentor for ambitious women who mostly have their shit together but feel bored and unfulfilled even though they’ve checked all the boxes and done everything “right”. She helps them go from wanting more (happiness, fulfillment, etc.) to F*CK YEAH I love my life without having to Eat, Pray, Love or Thelma & Louise. Using her signature candor and humor, Jen wants the world to know it’s never too late and you're never too old but you do kind of need to get going.

Growing Louder and Guilty Pleasures Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

Imagine this: You're in an airport bathroom in Reno, Nevada. You're feeling crampy and cranky because it's that time of the month, so you reach for a maxi pad. What you see when you open the package angers you, enrages you really; so much so that you decide to stop and write an open letter to the company that made said maxi pad.
That's pretty much what happened to Wendi Aarons. And it was the very thing to begin to change the trajectory of her life. The award winning humorist, writer, opinionated tweeter and self-proclaimed Fanilow is now a published author (her first two books written when she was 54). Her book I'm Wearing Tunics Now: On Growing Older, Wiser and a Hell of a Lot Louder is a stroll down memory lane for any Gen X woman finding her way -- and herself.
About: Wendi Aarons is a writer and award-winning humorist whose work has frequently appeared in outlets like McSweeney’s and The New Yorker, among many others. She is the author of the middle-grade novel Ginger Mancino,
Kid Comedian, SOCKS from Chronicle Books, and a contributor to the Listen to Your Mother: What She Said Then, What We’re Saying Now and Keep Scrolling Til You Feel Something anthologies. She is a popular speaker and teacher on humor, and lives in Austin with her family. And her tunics.
