Happy Hour with Gretchen Geraghty

This is a topic I've wanted to cover for a while now since I caught myself doing it for so long. Whether you're comparing your body to how it has been in the past, or your situation, I urge you to stop. I made this mistake of living in the past and idolizing this version of myself that was no longer. It was exhausting, unhealthy + hindering me from living in and enjoying the moment. I explain how we should be working on our present and future self being the happiest, healthiest, strongest, etc. Hope this can help some of you that may feel this same way!

This episode has been highly requested since Lucy and I suddenly lost our Dad last year. I knew how important this would be for us to talk about since everyone deals with grieving the loss of someone important to them at some point in time. This is my longest episode to date where Lucy and I talk personally about losing our Dad and the journey that grieving has been. We discuss stages of grief, what has helped us, and quotes and ideas to live by. I hope this helps those of you that have lost someone close to you!

I've wanted to make an episode on this topic for so long now but always felt like I wasn't in a perfectly organized and balanced routine to share. But I realized that it's always going to be a work in progress for me and thats ok. Being very organized and having a great work life balance may come easy to some, but I've accepted that I have to work at it a little bit more. I open the discussion of why I believe balance and being organized in every aspect of your life will lead you to the best version of yourself and have you feeling in control. I talk about what I've learned from Ed Mylett and Tori DeSimone as they've inspired me in this area and in manifestation. I also speak on personality types and why I believe being honest with yourself in who you are as a person is the place to start. Hope you guys enjoy this one, I know it's a little different!

This week I chat about what life is like so far with our Golden Retriever puppy Brody! How potty training is going, crate training, getting up in the night, etc. I also talk about his first vet appointment and how I feel he's changed my life and made me so present and joyful. I also talk about being at our family cottage in PA this week. This lakehouse is so nostalgic to me and truly a place to unwind, disconnect + unplug. It feels so good in my soul to be out here in nature with my family and Brody is loving it!

This episode is a super exciting one with my boyfriend Max where we talk all about our journey wanting a golden retriever puppy for so long and finally being able to get one! We answer how we found his name, why we wanted a boy, and how we found out about where to get him. We explain our difficulties trying to adopt or rescue which is what we always wanted to do. However, we talk about how we still plan to rescue one day for a friend for Brody. We recorded this episode Monday the night before picking up Brody in Maine, so it felt like Christmas Eve! I hope you guys enjoy hearing our journey to this point!

Today we are finally joined by my Mom on the pod!! It was so fun to record with her and have chats about her family, life, career, finding out she was having twins, etc. I'm so happy we were able to do this since I think a lot of you only really know that she's my Mom but not much about her. I hope you get to know her in this episode and see where I came from!

This is a little bit of a different topic this week since you guys know I typically keep it very positive and upbeat. However, I think it's still really important to keep it real and I just wanted to be honest with you guys and not force an episode that wasn't genuinely how I've been feeling, and I'm sure a lot of you can relate during such a crazy time we're living in. I talk about how I know its ok to not be ok and to feel sad. We all experience sadness, some more than others, and personally I've learned that feeling it and letting it out feels best for me and helps me start feeling better. I hope this episode can show you you're not alone in feeling these ways, and I'm here for you!

It's moving week! This week I move out of Boston, where I've lived for the past 5 years. I talk about some big moments in the past 5 years living here that have shaped who I am today. Graduating from Boston University, making life long friends, meeting my boyfriend, etc. I talk about my somewhat complicated and hectic moving plans to Pennsylvania and how I plan to come back to Boston in the spring. Can't wait to bring you guys along on the journey.

In this episode I discuss racism as a whole and it being so prevalent in the US today. I talk about what I've learned, how I've grown, and ways I've been educating myself and speaking out. I include some of your stories and opinions that you wrote in and I thank you for participating in this important discussion. WAYS YOU CAN HELPSean Reed Petition https://www.change.org/p/mayor-joe-hogsett-justice-for-sean-reedGeorge Floyd Memorial Fund https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloydI Run with Maud (Ahmaud Arbery Fund) https://www.gofundme.com/f/i-run-with-maudJustice For Breonna Taylor https://www.gofundme.com/f/9v4q2-justice-for-breonna-taylorJustice For David McAtee https://www.gofundme.com/f/justicefordavidmcateeNational Bail Out https://secure.actblue.com/donate/freeblackmamas2020Bail Project https://secure.givelively.org/donate/the-bail-projectInnocence Project https://www.innocenceproject.org/The Loveland Foundation https://thelovelandfoundation.org/my friend Dom's video can help gain understanding https:

In this episode I really just chat and catch up with you guys! I'm so sorry I took last week off, I didn't want to let anyone down, just was feeling discouraged. So this week I'm back and better than ever talking about plans changing, trying to not let what people think of me get to me as much, moving, new favorites I'm loving, some current events + missing my family! A little bit of everything :) Be sure to check out my YouTube channel http://bit.ly/33z6gnM (Gretchen Geraghty) my Instagram http://bit.ly/2VE0U7S (@gretchengeraghty) + podcast Instagram https://bit.ly/2Rt9VzA (@happyhrpodcast)For business inquiries email contact@tablerockmanagement.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I talk about how now specifically can be such a hard time to stay motivated. Whether it be in your health + fitness journey, your career, your relationships, etc. I chat about what works for me to stay motivated- like feeling grateful and knowing that being able to exercise (or whatever it is) is something I GET to do and an opportunity. I talk about how changing your perspective and mindset can also help a lot. And I also tell stories to help motivate you as well :) Be sure to check out my YouTube channel http://bit.ly/33z6gnM (Gretchen Geraghty) my Instagram http://bit.ly/2VE0U7S (@gretchengeraghty) + podcast Instagram https://bit.ly/2Rt9VzA (@happyhrpodcast)For business inquiries email contact@tablerockmanagement.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wow, can you guys believe this is episode 30 of happy hour!! Can't believe I have 30 of these episodes out there! Anyway, kind of a random topic right now, but one that I've always wanted to talk about. I talk about my journey through injury and recovery personally, and also touch on what I've learned from that and through close family and friends. A physical injury affects way more than your body- it can be very challenging mentally. I hope this can help any of you that have dealt with injury and know that you're not alone, and that I'm cheering for you over here. Love your body, take care of yourself, and find joy in your physical activity (if you can of course) as well as other hobbies + passions!

I dedicated this episode to talk all about self care, loving yourself, and putting yourself first. It's something we all work on + will continue to work on. It's definitely not always easy, and can be easier said than done, but is an essential part in our wellbeing and happiness. Self care I think means something different to each of us, but I talk about what it means to me. I also talk about ways I know I'm loving myself and how to realize if you aren't. And lastly I talk about how to prioritize advocating for yourself and your best interests/ put yourself first.

Today I talk all about receiving negativity being a social media influencer. It can also be translated to receiving any kind of negativity, even if its not through social media. I talk about growing up and getting negative comments starting at 15 years old and how it would affect me then, versus how I deal with it now. I've gained a lot of confidence and a thick skin from negative comments, so in a way I'm grateful for them. I also talk about how I've noticed at times with an overwhelming negative response, it can come with grains of truth. And that they're times of good learning experiences and reflection.

I finally decided to dedicate an entire episode to why I'm so happy and positive and how I think I got to be that way. A lot of it is how I think I just am, and how I am from my happy childhood, but I discuss different areas of happiness, positivity, and optimism and where I think they come from. My biggest tips and things that help me are finding the silver lining in things, being thankful for difficult situations that teach you lessons, learning to love yourself, prioritizing your mental health, and having gratitude and recognizing your privilege.

Short but sweet this week with some realizations I've had during quarantine. I talk about how I was quite sad, anxious, frustrated, and discouraged at the beginning of all of this. And I still feel these emotions here and there due to our current circumstances. However, I had a shift in my mindset of how we have the privilege of working on ourselves in this moment. To be the best versions of ourself, taking care of ourself, and going after what we've always wanted to. There are no more excuses since you can't leave your house and you have all the time in the world to dedicate to things you've always wanted to do, whether that be start a new side hustle, read more, get back into running, etc. Whatever IT is you can do IT now!

I've wanted to talk about losing my Dad in a podcast episode for a while now but I didn't know how and I didn't feel ready. I realized I don't think I'm ever really ready to talk about him, how much he meant to me, and how badly I miss him. But the reason I pushed myself to make this episode is because I know how many of you have dealt with loss and I just want to help in any way I can. I'm sure you can understand why this episode is all over the place and emotional, so bare with me. I talk about the moments leading up to losing my Dad and the moments right after. I touch on grieving, but I definitely want to make an entire other episode for that as well. I talk about signs he's sent me from heaven and things that make me feel better and how I cope. I wish so much health and happiness upon you your family, and friends, but if you find yourself in a situation with loss I hope this can help you. Lastly, I love you all and I hope you're staying safe and healthy right now. Be sure to check out my YouTube channel

Today we are joined by Chase Willman, my boyfriend Max's sister, barre instructor, and New York City queen!

She tells us her first impression of me as her brother's first girlfriend and what she thought of my YouTube channel. She also tells us all about being a Barre instructor at FlyWheel, how she handles so much exercise, what she typically eats in a day to fuel up.

One of you suggested I cover this topic and I thought it was such a good idea with spring break season being right now and getting into the spring and summer. I recorded this before COVID-19 had escalated to this extent, so I understand that many travel plans have been cancelled or postponed. That being said, I share my advice on how to stay on track with your healthy living lifestyle while traveling and especially being on vacation. Even if this can't apply to you right now, hopefully it can in the future. I catch up a bit on my life and how I was feeling about turning 23 this year for my birthday.
