Episode mentioned in today’s show: THE DAILY Guest: Dr. Amy Barnhorst, the vice chairwoman of community psychiatry at the University of California, Davis.  Please leave us a review!

Last but not least, we take a trip down memory lane and talk about how much we loved the hot mess we were in our 20’s. We have photos to prove it. Please leave us a review!

This week is all about owning the process. For Joy, “raising the bar” is out, and coming to terms with feeling totally freaked out by life is in… unless you’re talking about murder documentaries, in which case, she needs a break. We also talk about “anxiety insurance,” aka worrying about something to try to keep it from happening – we all do it to some degree, but how can we manage our mental health in the meantime? Finally, we answer a bunch of listener questions, from talking about our wedding days to the latest fights with our spouses, and what household tasks we just “don’t see.” Please leave us a review on iTunes!

This week we are processing in real-time, so get ready for some imperfect conversations about a few big topics. A comment about Beyonce’s latest documentary leads to a long discussion about body image, how to reconcile body positivity with the desire to lose weight and look a certain way, and how body type privilege plays into the phrase “I just want my body to feel good.” Then we talk more about the dietitian vs. nutritionist debate, and talk about how nutritionists can actually be super knowledgable and helpful – you just need to know what you’re getting into. Last but not least, we discuss a few of our favorite products right now, from diapers to books to mascara. Get ready, there is a lot packed into this hour! Products talked about in this episode (more or less in the order they were mentioned): Books:The Valedictorian of Being DeadNo Happy EndingsOut ThereThe Moth: Occasional MagicHair and face care:Kristin Ess Air Dry CremeR+Co Television Shampoo + Conditioner SetD

This week is a pretty classic, slightly ridiculous conversation about what makes us high maintenance, how to use a microfiber hair towel, how to survive hot yoga, our feelings about the Enneagram, and lots more.

Her new life chapter includes Psychedelic Gypsy Fitness taking back fitness through daily functional workouts and weekly intention setting.
