Empathy And Eyebrows Podcast

Unfortunately after losing my baby, I am once again suffering from postpartum depression. I'm very sick, but I beat it before. I want to raise awareness for this awful thing. I have incorporated my 'This is My Brave' Bethesda 2018 talk with audio from 'Terrible, Thanks for Asking' Podcast. These clips remind me of the pain I endured, but bring me solace knowing I've overcome those dark times

 This week Best Friend Claire is cohosting the podcast as we work through the aftermath of my miscarriage and talk about the future! She's just graduated from grad school and I'm launching my own program. There's so much to unpack but mostly, there's hope even within trauma.

 Resiliency is my Super Power

This week Best friend Claire and Be the Match donor Savannah join me to talk about the immense need for people to join the registry and especially to push for minority donors. Savannah's story is incredible. By joining the national registry she saved a complete stranger's life. She walks us through her experience and how she knew she would be changing someone else's life, but had no idea how much it would change her own. Nurse Claire adds a medical professional perspective as well her own personal accounts of caring for children who needed and or received transplants. If you've ever thought about becoming a donor this episode will help you make an educated decision. We hope you help us save some lives by joining the registry!

I recently got a chance to sit down with my shero Nora McInerny. She's been through some shitty situations... but she's used her trauma to launch some amazing thing. A hugely insane podcast: TERRIBLE Thanks for Asking, a book: It's Okay to Laugh (Crying is Cool Too), and a non-profit: Still Kickin. When Nora asked me to be the opening speaker at her Still Kickin In Real Life retreat I didn't hesitate to say yes. So we sat down and discussed the shitty things that have happened to me. Now I love being the interviewer, but if I'm gonna be interviewed... there's no one I'd rather be interviewed by than Nora McInerny ( okay, and Oprah, but I'm sure Nora would be cool with that)

Meet Rabbi Avi Olitzky. His parents were married at the Tree of Life Synagogue, where on Oct. 27th a gunman killed 11 members of their congregation. We discuss cultural trauma, anti-semitism and how to be better allies

No their names are NOT Munchie and Smooch. So why did I decide against publicly sharing their names their names for so long? The first answer is Wildcat - a prison inmate who fell in love with me and called me as a character witness at his trial. Let's talk about it.

It’s way easier said than done! But when you learn to do this, it changes everything! It’s the one year anniversary of the release of my first book and it’s reminded me so much of how we really have no idea what is planned for us. I could have never imagined that my divorce would lead me to a best selling book, and the man I always wanted and deserved. You better believe I’m trusting the process now.

This week our family had to say goodbye to our beloved Sir Gavin unexpectedly. This episode is dedicated to him and anyone who has ever loved and lost a fur family member.

I am not afraid anymore so I am pulling back the curtain and I am sorry to the women I could have helped by telling my story sooner.

My friend Lelita Cannon (www.listentolita.com) joins us for Episode 13 of Empathy and Eyebrows: Giving Yourself Permission.  The longest, most potent lunar eclipse of the century is upon us, and it’s time to shift the focus: to YOU, your self-preservation, protecting your mental clarity and spirit. Say no to what no longer benefits you and YES to what does!  We define self-care, while reminding you that you are enough, and it’s okay to give yourself permission to put your oxygen mask on first, preserve your joy and cultivate your own happiness.

Meet Jeff, my partner who let me interview him about all the things! Love, life, sex...some of his answers surprised me
