Show notes

Two longtime friends go deep. Joakim Noah—two-time NCAA champion, NBA All-Star, Defensive Player of the Year—joins Gabby to talk identity after sport, learning to give himself grace, fatherhood, and why trust is a coach’s real superpower. He shares the story behind his new travel/interview series Nomad, how losses shaped him more than wins, what Chicago taught him about community, and the mindset shift from “run through a wall” to leading with curiosity. Real talk on injuries, NIL, nature as counterbalance, and building a life that’s strong, calm, and connected.

Show notes

Dr. David Spiegel is one of the world’s leading experts on hypnosis, mind body medicine, and the power of focused attention. With over four decades of clinical work and research at Stanford, he explains how self hypnosis can help you reduce stress, manage pain, improve sleep, break habits, and shift long held patterns that keep you stuck.

Dr. Spiegel also guides me through a short self hypnosis exercise that reveals how quickly the mind can influence the body. We explore why some people are more hypnotizable than others, how trauma and imagination shape the brain, and how to use these tools to change your internal narrative and strengthen emotional resilience.

This conversation is full of practical insights about stress, anxiety, performance, grief, and the ways we can reprogram the stories we tell ourselves. If you have ever wondered whether hypnosis is real, or how the brain can change your lived experience, Dr. Spiegel offers research backed clarity and simple techniques anyone can try.

Show notes

PERIMENOPAUSE REVOLUTION: Women's health expert Dr. Mariza Snyder and Gabby Reece discuss how to fix your hormones, balance blood sugar, reverse midlife body changes, and THRIVE during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Snyder exposes why the current medical system fails women.
Dr. Mariza Snyder, author of The Perimenopause Revolution, shares essential, actionable solutions for the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Learn the crucial difference between the reproductive years, perimenopause (which can start as early as your mid-30s), and menopause, and why supporting cellular energy and mitochondrial function is the most critical step you can take after age 30.'
Dr. Snyder explains how the demands of modern life, such as stress, diet, and lack of community are actively working against optimal hormone health. She provides science-backed strategies for supporting progesterone, balancing testosterone, and reducing the "window of vulnerability" for insulin resistance that often occurs in midlife.

This conversation is a must-watch for any woman navigating her 30s, 40s, and 50s who wants to feel energized, balanced, and in control of her health.

#347: How to Regulate Your Emotions, Anna Runkle - The Crappy Childhood Fairy Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Gabby Reece sits down with Anna Runkle, known online as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, to discuss her new book, 'Connectability'. Anna shares her personal journey of overcoming the long-term effects of growing up in a chaotic home filled with unpredictability, alcoholism, trauma and neglect. She emphasizes the importance of self-regulation, rebuilding trust and fostering meaningful connections with yourself and others. In addition, she sheds light on her own experience in therapy and the epiphany that changed her life and led her to the work she currently does. Though she admits therapy can be helpful for many, she brings up the idea that repetition and rumination weren’t helping her move forward.

Anna describes effective techniques such as written prayer and meditation practices that have helped her and millions of others around the world. The episode also touches on healthy relationships, practical strategies for personal growth and Anna’s unique, hands-on approach to healing childhood trauma.

#346: How to Validate ANYONE, The Secret to Healthy Relationships - Dr. Caroline Fleck Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Caroline Fleck shares with Gabby Reece the #1 communication skill from psychology (DBT) you need to master: VALIDATION. Learn how this essential relationship tool will transform your marriage, parenting, and friendships. The psychologist & author of Validation breaks down the exact steps to build deep connection, manage conflict, and achieve emotional regulation.

In this powerful episode of The Gabby Reece Show, host Gabby Reece and Dr. Caroline Fleck, a clinical psychologist and author of the book Validation: How the skillset that revolutionized psychology will transform your relationship, increase your influence, and change your life, discuss the profound impact of true validation.

Validation is more than just listening or feeling empathy; it is a communication skill that must be mastered to truly convey understanding and acceptance. Dr. Fleck reveals why this essential skill is typically only taught in advanced doctoral psychology programs (Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT) and how you can apply it to your everyday life to build stronger bonds and reduce conflict.

Key Takeaways You'll Learn:

The crucial difference between "problem-solving" and "validation" in real-life scenarios, especially with children.

The six levels of validation (the "validation ladder") and how to use them to instantly improve your communication.

Practical strategies for managing intense emotions and conflict using DBT's TIP skills (Temperature, Intense Exercise, Paced Breathing).

The power of a genuine apology, even as a parent, to model the behavior you want your kids to learn.

How to disclose your own experience to connect without overshadowing the other person's pain (the "flip it back" technique).

Don't miss these evidence-based strategies for better communication and personal transformation!
