Monocycle with Leandra Medine

Latest Episodes:

Ep 21: Talking Yourself Out of an Anxiety Attack May 06, 2016

Show notes

This week's episode of Monocycle tackles our theme of the month, mental health, by talking through how we determined this would-be the theme that followed last month (and stood as preface for next month! Which will require that you let your hair down and dance until your feet fall off). Leandra also talks about talking yourself down from an anxiety attack, which she's not always the best at, but trying is better than crying, right? We've all been there. Enjoy the listen.

Ep 20: The Process of Monocycle Apr 29, 2016

Show notes

After taking a week off, today's episode of Monocycle kicks off a case study called: Do You Care? It's all about the process of building these episodes -- coming up with the concepts, the actual recording, the questions that you don't hear -- it's like an audio behind-the-scenes. Let us know what you think and if you enjoy it. If you don't, of course, we can go back to regular programming -- the best programming! -- where we talk about feeling our feelings and how that feels.

Ep 19: Hormones Apr 15, 2016

Show notes

The hormones are back. On this week's episode of Monocycle, Leandra confronts her narcissism, yells at herself and tries to turn negatives into positives. All anecdotes are shared with the intention that you'll be able to connect with them, of course, because at the end of the day, aren't we all "going through stuff"? Might as well hold each other's hands along the way. Logo by Kelly Shami - legsny.com/ Edited by Nicholas Quazzy Alexander

Ep 18: Productivity Apr 10, 2016

Show notes

This week's episode of Monocycle is about productivity. Leandra procrastinated for two hours until she finally recorded this episode, so lucky for listeners it also features the most efficient human on earth: Leandra's husband, Abie Cohen. We'd reveal his advice here, but then you wouldn't listen to the episode. So! Have at it, use the bathroom and get your stuff done so you can party into the weekend like Cher on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Ep 17: Saturday State of Mind Apr 08, 2016

Show notes

In this week’s episode of Monocycle, Leandra talks about the "Saturday State of Mind." Could there be a way to turn the excited feeling of an imminent Saturday into a state of mind as opposed to mere fact of existence? And if there is, would Sunday Scaries become Sunday Sillies? Oh what a way to force calm unto yourself! And if not because you need to figure out how to quit feeling like a paralyzed bird on Sunday nights, then simply because this episode features two interludes for rap music. Happy (real) Friday! Let’s keep the momentum going, eh? Logo by Kelly Shami - legsny.com/ Edited by Nicholas Quazzy Alexander

Ep 16: Careers Mar 25, 2016

Show notes

This week's episode of Monocycle tackles some of the questions that you asked in our Love Your Career Month post, questions like: How do people find jobs? Is it a bad thing to feel like you're learning as you go (instead of knowing it all before hand)? How do you navigate work and life in your twenties so that you set yourself up for success in your thirties? And so on. Pop your headphones in for Leandra's answers but don't stop shouting out new queries. It helps us help you and together we'll keep this podcast running like a rainforest with a perfect ecosystem.

Ep 15: Excess Mar 18, 2016

Show notes

Welcome back to Monocycle. This week's episode tackles precisely the reason we didn't post last week: Paris. As in, fashion week. But beyond that and beyond the clothes, we explore the feeling of being...gluttonous. The condition of living in 2016 means that we have so many choices and are confronted with them every second of every day. Maybe you, too, are feeling a little bit like you want to streamline the choice buggy. Or maybe not! Either way, enjoy. And for the love of content, please talk to us about what else you'd like to hear on here! Logo by Kelly Shami - legsny.com/ Edited by Nicholas Quazzy Alexander

Ep 14: Getting Dressed Mar 02, 2016

Show notes

In honor of fashion week, an episode of Monocycle on how to get dressed! Or the psychology of it, at least. When you are in a clothing funk, the only way out beyond attempting “manifestation” practices (if you think it, if you will it, it will happen) is to remember when you last felt like the best version of yourself. So close your eyes and put yourself into an outfit. Toot-a-loo! Logo by Kelly Shami - legsny.com/ Edited by Nicholas Quazzy Alexander

Ep 11: Fake It 'Til You Make It Feb 05, 2016

Show notes

This week's episode of Monocycle reflects on last week's show (hint: there were a few tears) then opens up the dance floor for a conversation about faking it until you make it. The "it" in question, of course, is happiness. And as it turns out, faking it kind of works.

Ep 10: Going Through It Jan 29, 2016

Show notes

All hail Friday afternoon, the best time of the entire week. This week's topics of discussion on Monocycle range from the stuff you tell yourself when you look into the mirror, letting yourself feel like shit and knowing when to pull yourself out of the vicious cycle. When you're down, give yourself the time you need and then pick yourself right back up. Oh, and call your mom and tell her you love her.
