Happy Hour with Gretchen Geraghty

In this episode I chat about how you are the main character in your own life and are the only one with the power to act as your true authentic self. I mention how I was inspired to do this episode from quotes I heard recently that made me really think. They made me think how life is too short to worry about others opinions in regards to doing what you really want, for your career, relationship, etc. I talk about living life on your own terms and how to reclaim your own story.

This week we're joined by my most frequent podcast guests, Lucy & Max! My twin sister Lucy and my boyfriend Max have been on a fair share of podcast episodes, but never together. This is actually my first episode with two guests at once. I thought it could be fun to put them head to head in answering questions about me to see who knows me better.. when in reality I think they both know me better than I know myself! Be sure to listen to the end to see who knows me better, enjoy :)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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We are joined again by my twin sister Lucy! I figured it made since for us to have this conversation together since we've both dealt with this kind of thing, specifically in our experience with lightweight rowing. I love hearing her perspective and advice on this as well since Lucy is often who I turn to when I'm in a rut. We give a synopsis of our own fear of weight gain and overexercise era as well as give advice for those of you trying to overcome this chapter. It's something we continue to work on mindset wise as it ebbs and flows. I hope our words on this matter can help :)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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Max is back!! It's been almost 2 years since he's been on a podcast episode with us & I can't believe it! This episode was specifically requested and I think it's so important to talk about since moving in with someone and meshing two different backgrounds can be difficult. We give advice on navigating a shared space, what works for us, and tips for issues we've had to overcome as well- like continuing to date one another even after being together for awhile. We also catch up on what we've been up to recently, enjoy!

Woohoo we're back in Boston baby! I tell all about how our move went, our new apartment, how long we'll be here etc. I talk about the conundrum of the hockey season being the majority of the year so it makes it difficult to have a permanent home. I discuss our options of short term rentals, homes, condos, and more. I end by manifesting for how I want this summer to go and how I want to feel.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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I felt like we needed another episode dedicated to a talk on body image since my 2nd ever epsiode on it is still my most downloaded episode of all time.

I give advice if you're struggling with body image issues as well as what I've learned that's helped me over the years.

Covering a new topic this week, I chat about adjusting to adulthood! I reflect on my expectations of what it would be like growing up versus how it really is. Kind of funny and kind of serious I chat about how no one prepares you for some adjustments. Like everything being so expensive, pressures you face as you age, how family dynamics change, etc! I also catch up on life like I usually do, including my travels recently as well as upcoming plans.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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We talk about a little bit of everything including the podcast she started, her new puppy, where she's moving, etc. But we mainly focus on wellness in this episode including mental and physical health.

This week we cover the idea of our higher self and what that looks like. I go over traits that my higher self (ideal version of myself) has like balance in different areas of life, keeping promises to myself + others, prioritizing wellbeing, etc. I also read about and react to so many of your higher selfs that you wrote in. We manifest together, discuss what we're working on, and dream about the future. This episode was a deep one, but so much fun!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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we are FINALLY joined by one of my very best friends from childhood, Hannah! She was the one who sparked my social media career and I’m so happy we’ve stayed so close over the years. There are lots of laughs, memories shared + funny moments along with some of Hannah’s advice on college, careers, and more.

I was inspired this week to read through your secret confessions, how entertaining! After sharing some on my instagram stories I got a bunch of requests to read more on a podcast episode, so here we are. They're 100% anonymous of course and have to deal with horrible mother in laws, crazy stories, family secrets, cheating, lying, stealing, and more lol.

I felt very compelled to speak on this topic. Maybe it's because I see a lifestyle + mindset of gratitude as the only way to live. I chat about a recent moment where I was feeling so grateful for the life I live- for how far I've come personally like gaining independence, how I've been able to financially support myself, etc. I talk about how I'm living my dream life yet feel guilty for it at times. I explain how I believe this is a common thing especially for women to feel guilty of success or like we have to downplay it, but it should be the opposite. We chat about the importance of celebrating wins, giving back when you're able to, and being overall grateful for what you have and not resentful for what you don't.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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

First we catch up on my Boston trip. I talk about how I feel like I thrive there, recap some memories, etc. I chat about my current favorite quote and what it means to me. This episode topic is things I wish I could go back to tell my younger self, life lessons I've learned if you will. I explain ten different opinions/ ideas of what I wish I knew sooner about relationships, body image, self discipline, adulthood, growing up, taking care of yourself, etc.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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I've missed you guys! We catch up on the past month I've been gone during Vlogmas. I talk about how exciting December was but also sad at the same time.

I also chat about my Mom visiting, going to Crumbl and Trader Joes, getting my hair done, and then ultimately my travel nightmare. What seemed rocky to start ended up finally working out and I'm so happy it did because I had the best time in Palm Springs with new friends.

I'm so excited to be joined by my friend Soph this week! She's the sweetest angel and I had the biggest smile on my face editing through this episode since listening to her instantly puts me in a good mood. We chit chat about both feeling guilty of success at times and how society has a way of telling us to be ashamed of our accomplishments. She tells us about how she started her Tik Tok and how it along with her other social media platforms has grown into her job. Soph also gets personal with us sharing how she came out to her family, how she started dating her girlfriend Avery, and advice for couples living together.

So I got pulled over for the first time this week! I doubted I would share what happened but then came to realize it taught me such a good lesson of slowing down!! Obviously while driving, but also in life. I wanted to share just as a reminder of why speeding is so dangerous since I care about each and every one of you listening. This episode is my favorite kind of episode to listen too, just chit chat and catch up on life. I talk about what's going on with my boyfriend Max's hockey season since I've been getting so many questions about it. I also touch on how nice it's been being independent and doing things on my own while Max has been away during preseason. I talk about my mixed feelings with tik tok, being sad on sundays, my new productivity hack, travel plans, and more!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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'm home this week in Albany NY where I grew up, so I decided it's only fitting to bring my twin sister Lucy on the pod again! We recorded this late night edition so we get pretty deep + real on accident lol. We catch up and chat about life and how we've been thinking and feeling recently. Then we get into answering questions about each other like biggest fears, each others perfect day, dream vacations, go to drink order at the bar and more!

I'm in the mood to chit chat and catch up! I relate how recently I've been feeling how hard it can be to make friends as an adult, especially living somewhere new. So today we're hanging out as friends :) I give my limited advice on making new friends because I struggle with it as well. I also talk about how it can be especially hard being such a social extroverted person. I touch on my therapy journey so far and how ultimately I find it to be so helpful and very eye opening.

I start by catching up with you guys and telling you about my crazy week with some wild signs from the universe. I also chat about my journey starting therapy, finally! I talk about boundaries in a relationship and what they look like. I give examples in general and from my relationship and speak on how I think they are healthy and necessary. Especially the little everyday boundaries and their importance. However, I share that ultimately relationships come down to respect, communication and compromise. Hopefully by sharing healthy relationship habits of my own, they can also help you! I conclude by advising on how I deal with toxic people in my life, especially friends since nobody has time for that !!!

I'm back! Sorry for being MIA on the pod, I talk about where I've been and catch up on life recently. You guys wrote in on advice you were looking for, so I get very real and raw + tell you what I would do in your situation.

She's followed her passions and very literally manifested her dreams into reality by being the host of a new Barstool Sports show. She explains how her idea of Chicks University started as a vision and how it ended up becoming her reality. She leaves us with a ton of valuable advice for going after what you want and advocating for yourself. She talks about the culture at Barstool and what it's like working there, her experience working in sports media in the past, and how her interest in sports media came about.

This week we are joined by fellow YouTuber Rachel Ratke! She shares how she came about starting a YouTube channel her Senior year of college at UGA and how great the job has worked out for her lifestyle. Similar to me, the flexible remote nature of doing social media is ideal for Rachel since she's engaged to a football coach. This way she can live wherever he's coaching. We relate how glamorized this lifestyle can look being with a coach/ athlete when in reality it's tough moving around a lot and lonely living in new places where you don't know anyone. She talks about how she met her fiancé, how long they've been together, and how he proposed! She also talks about her recent transition moving across the country to Colorado for her fiancé's job. Rachel opens up in this episode and is such a sweetheart, I hope you enjoy!My YouTube channel http://bit.ly/33z6gnM (Gretchen Geraghty) + Rachel's https://bit.ly/3fsapBa (Rachel Ratke)My Instagram http://bit.ly/2VE0U7S (@gretchengeraghty) + Rachel's https://bit.ly/3u6sCtw (@rachelratke)Podcast Instagram https://bit.ly/2Rt9VzA (@happyhrpodcast)For business inquiries email [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we catch up on my life and what I've been up to. We also get specific on talking about Independence since it's something I've improved a lot with. I give my advice on building independence and examples of things I do on my own- specifically in regards to when you're in a relationship since it's something you really have to prioritize. I also touch on time management since I often get questions about it. I've improved a lot with managing my time and gaining the discipline to stay organized with it. I explain the tactic of time batching and why it's helpful and so useful. A little bonus moment at the end is all about serving others and how good it feels to help out!

This is a pretty specific episode about my diet and how I've gotten to this point on my journey of healing my relationship with food. I give a little back story on when my struggles with food and body image started but I have a whole episode dedicated to that in episode 2 of my podcast, so I would recommend going back and giving that a listen for more background. I discuss being vegan for about a year and reasons I liked and disliked it, but ultimately how I decided to continue on with no labels on my diet for a number of reasons. I also share some habits I've adopted that have helped me gain a more sense of normal around eating + my diet. I hope you guys enjoy as this was a requested episode!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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I've thought about making an episode like this for a while and let me know if you'd like a part 2! The reason for this is because I get so many dms that I can't all write back to and a lot of the time it's asking me for advice on a relationship, on body confidence, friendships and more. So I decided to make some of my most requested advice into a podcast episode!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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I've wanted to have this important conversation for a while now to be a resource for you guys. I know so often we want to help loved ones through tough times but don't know how. We want to help, but feel helpless. In this episode I give concrete examples of ways you can help a loved one in a tough season of life. A lot of my opinions on the matter come from losing my Dad at 22 and what helped me personally. Also, just what I've learned in helping friends and family through depression, traumatic events, etc. I should've prefaced this that of course these are only my opinions and I would urge anyone struggling to seek professional help, or those of you in the helping supportive role to suggest seeking professional help as I touch on in this episode. I know how specific this episode is but I really hope it can help.

Something different this week talking about finding and developing my unique style and taste! This was requested a while back and I liked how it pushed my out of my comfort zone to realize it's ok if I'm not just one style. Your style doesn't have to check a box, you can have many styles and dress different all the time. I talk about how it got a lot simpler when I realized it was ok to be girly, boho, edgy, trendy, etc. and I didn't have to be + dress like just one. I also talk about finding inspiration and finding style and decor taste in your home.

This episode is really for those of you listening who need to hear this. I wish could send this into the past to my 19 year old self who just broke up with her first boyfriend because I know it would have helped me a lot. I talk about breakups, my advice, and ultimately how you have to find yourself again. Advice on breakups is one of my most asked questions so I knew it needed it's own episode. I emphasize how you need to work on loving yourself, being the best version of yourself, and surrounding yourself with people who make you feel the best. Remember someone else doesn't complete you to make 100%, you need to be 100% on your own first, then together with someone else who is full on their own you'll make 200%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 [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
