Nobody Told Me!

(Apple Podcast’s Best of 2018) When mother-daughter duo Jan Black and Laura Owens first conceptualized their two-generational talk show, nobody told them they’d snag the title of #1 self-help podcast for months on end! But that’s exactly what they’ve done, delving into topics as far-flung as network building, the importance of failure, finding hope after being kidnapped, and how the principles of brain surgery can help us work through everyday problems. Featuring interviews with extraordinary individuals, Nobody Told Me! shines light on the shared human experiences that bring us together, and the challenges that serve as catalysts for our greatest growth. Nobody Told Me! combines Jan’s impressive broadcast journalism background with Laura’s unique, millennial perspective. Driven by a genuine desire to educate and empower, their pioneering platform gives insight into the strategies and secrets of people in all walks of life. Equal parts information and inspiration, Nobody Told Me! brings a personal touch to the interview process. Together, Jan and Laura are asking the questions that help their listeners get through life’s toughest times.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the mixed messages society gives us about what it means to live well. We hear that there are so many things we should do--enjoy the moment, dream big, get up before the sun, make time for everyone in our lives while having a spotless home and doing the perfect workout.

Dr. Guy Winch...how to cope with the loss of a pet (National Dog Day special episode) Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

Why is there stigma associated with how we cope with the loss of a pet? It seems like we can't get it right: we're judged for grieving the death of the animal too much ('it's just a pet!') or too little ('he/she is getting a new dog already?').

What can we do to heal and move forward from it? Why does it feel like we never fully get over it?

In honor of National Dog Day, we are bringing back one of our favorite episodes with Dr. Guy Winch, licensed psychologist and in-demand keynote speaker to talk about healing from the loss of a pet. Dr. Winch was with us previously to discuss his book "How to Fix a Broken Heart", which aims to help people cope about a breakup or death of someone they love; that someone can be a pet and the loss is devastating.

You can watch his compelling TED talk, "Why we all need to practice emotional first aid", which has gathered more than six and a half million views, at https://www.ted.com/talks/guy_winch_the_case_for_emotional_hygiene. His website is http://www.guywinch.com.
