S5 Ep 343Actor Comedian Eugene Mirman ON: Living a Tenacious Life
This week actor and comedian Eugene Mirman discusses his incredible body of comedic work and his documentary It Started As A Joke which chronicles the 10 years of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, an independent festival started on a lark by the Bob's Burgers' alum. As explained by comics like Kumail Nanjiani and Kristen Schaal, Mirman is essentially a founding father of the Brooklyn comedy scene (he's been called the original "influencer"), and the festival's success is a testament to his impact. But, true to its title, there's a bit more on the documentary's mind; we're also introduced to Mirman's wife, Katie Westfall Tharp, and learn how the two fell in love, had a son, moved to Cape Cod, and fought through Tharp's cancer diagnosis and later recurrence. Tragically, Tharp died almost a year after It Started As A Joke premiered at SXSW. In its depiction of her kind spirit, the film now doubles as a bittersweet tribute to a loved one gone too soon. Ultimately, this is a candid conversation about doing work that makes you happy, pushing through the inevitable hardships and learning curves that follow, and having the courage to love with everything you have despite the pain of loss. It Started As A Joke is available on Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, FandangoNow, Sony, and Microsoft Xbox.

S5 Ep 337Author Julie Bogart ON: Raising Critical Thinkers in the Digital Age
Sponsored by Sambucol - use code Mother15 to save 15% At a time when online media has created a virtual firehose of information and opinions, parents and teachers worry how students will interpret what they read and see. Amid the noise, it has become increasingly important to examine different perspectives with both curiosity and discernment. But how do parents teach these critical thinking skills to their children? My guest Julie Bogart is the creator and owner of Brave Writer, the hugely popular online writing and language arts program and podcast, and the fast-growing weekly habit called Poetry Teatime. In this episode Julie and I discuss practical ways for teaching your children to boldly examine how they think and to become thoughtful consumers of information. In this episode we discuss: How being well-read gives a false impression of being well-educated. In fact, reading can be dangerous to quality critical thinking. The importance of curiosity in nurturing a critical mindset. Video games are high quality tools of skillful thinking, particularly when played 7-10 hours per week. Studies show that non-gamers are more at risk of negative outcomes than gamers. Gaming doesn't have to be so negative! Multiple choice testing has caused a negative ripple effect, removing childlike wonder by 6th grade and creating a culture of single identity answers and zero-sum online discourse stakes.

In this episode of Motherhood Unstressed I am speaking with author and filmmaker Sasha Sagan about her new book "FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE" which was inspired by her viral essay for The Cut, "Lessons of Immortality and Mortality From My Father, Carl Sagan". Sagan is the daughter of late astronomer/author Carl Sagan and writer/producer Ann Druyan. Some of the topics we discuss: How becoming a mother prompted Sagan to tap into her secular upbringing in the hopes of finding a non-religious worldview to pass on to her child The power of secular rituals to process and understand the passage of time What it was like growing up as the daughter of Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan Nurturing a childlike sense of wonder as an adult for greater perspective and happiness QUOTES "Those questions, our place in the universe, reckoning with our own mortality, those deep philosophical questions about existence, there's just nothing that's more interesting to talk about, to wrestle with" "So much of the book is a love letter to my parents... they both were comfortable with asking a question to which we do not know the answer and looking for evidence" "Everything we consider traditional is new on the scale of human history...so I think there's a way to carve out the parts that are meaningful to us without feeling so beholden that we're in a position to go through the motions about things we don't really connect to" RESOURCES: Get the Book: "For Small Creatures Such As We" IG: @sashasagan Website: https://www.sashasagan.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/SashaSagan CONNECT: Leave a review on iTunes (why do you love the Motherhood Unstressed Podcast?)

Alex and Carlos Pena Vega Poet Kate Baer Seth Godin "Somebody Feed Phil" Phil Rosenthal The Way of Integrity with Martha Beck Heart Mind Coherence Meditation About the Author: Sasha Sagan has worked as a TV producer, filmmaker (she co-wrote and produced a film with best friend Kirsten Dunst, which was screened at Tribeca and closed Cannes in 2010), editor, writer, and speaker in New York, Boston, and London. Her essays and interviews on death, history, and ritual through a secular lens have appeared in New York Magazine, O Magazine, Lit Hub, Mashable, The Violet Book, and elsewhere. She regularly speaks on ways science can inform our celebrations and how we mark the passage of time. FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE is a moving tribute to a father, a newborn daughter, a marriage, and the natural world—a celebration of life itself, and the power of our families and beliefs to bring us together. PRAISE FOR FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE: "Read her work; you'll have a deeper appreciation for your every step, every bite, and every breath." —Bill Nye, The Science Guy "This lyrical exploration of how we can find beauty in the natural world comes from the daughter of Carl Sagan, so it's no wonder Sasha's reverence for the cosmos shines through on every page. It's part memoir, part history, part reflection, and all a wonderful gift for your favorite reader." —Good Housekeeping "Wonderful. . . An elixir for people facing personal crises in a secular world." —Wall Street Journal "A look at life, the cosmos, and finding magic in our daily lives." —New York Post "Like her parents, Sasha has the passion, brilliance, and ability to spark curiosity, skepticism, and hope, through the written word. Open mind required. No faith necessary." —Boing Boing "[Sagan's] view is wide in scope and she draws connections between many fields of science, history, and pop culture. She's not afraid to speculate about the future, including the future of humanity. Her poetic, engaging prose will resonate with many readers, as will her refreshingly breeze and open-minded approach. While some writers today dwell on threats to humanity as if an apocalypse is already upon us and all our children will live horrible lives, Sagan suggests that, regardless of what's to come, we should make the most of the little moments we have on our little corner of the pale blue dot." —Undark Magazine "A gorgeous collection of essays. . . Birth, anniversaries, fasting, atonement: She approaches these subjects with wonderment and a generous window into her extraordinary family history. . . Sagan writes with stunning clarity and absolute joy. . . For Small Creatures Such As We is a marvel. It dazzles and comforts while making us consider our own place in the vast universe." —BookPage "From birthdays to funerals to the changing of the seasons to lunar cycles, [Sagan] though

S4 Ep 326Ozonaut Micah Lowe ON: The Many Health Benefits of Ozone Therapy
In this episode, Ozone Therapy expert Micah Lowe explains in simple terms how ozone therapy improves your body's intake and use of oxygen, activates your immune system, increases energy and stamina, and improves cognitive and athletic performance. Ozone is one of the most misunderstood oxidative molecules, but in reality it is an incredibly strong oxidant that alters your body at a cellular level and helps your mitochondria make more antioxidants. Tune in to find out how it helps heal chronic conditions and optimize health. Some of the topics we discuss: Ozone therapy for immune system support, athletic recovery, wound and skin care, pain relief, increasing energy and decreasing brain fog How high-quality ozone generators and ozone kits (like show favorite Simply 03) work, and how to incorporate it with the rest of your health routine QUOTES "So, there's a whole world of ozone that you can dive into. There's ozone for municipalities. There's ozone for wine making. There's ozone for pools. There's ozone for hot tubs. There's ozone for aquariums, and then there's medical ozone. They're all different."

Use code Podcast to save The female body shouldn't be a medical mystery, unfortunately for most of modern medical history it has been. In fact, women weren't required to be in clinical research until 1993, and women are diagnosed on average 4 years later than men for the same disease. That's why my guest this week, Priyanka Jain, created Evvy, an at-home test that aims to close the gender health gap by discovering and leveraging overlooked biomarkers in the female body - starting with the vaginal microbiome. Some of the topics we discuss: The importance of the vaginal microbiome as a marker of female overall health The existence of the gender health gap and how to begin to solve it with data Metagenomic sequencing and analysis for indications of fertility and infertility QUOTES "I think every woman has their own version of the story of being misdiagnosed, or under diagnosed or misunderstood at the doctor's office" "Women weren't required to be in clinical research until 1993...this is actually a data problem." "As we started doing research on where to start, the vaginal microbiome became so clear that it was such an important biomarker and marker of health generally in the female body that we had never looked at before" Resources: Website: https://www.evvy.com IG: evvybio Providers interested in learning more can contact Evvy directly at [email protected] Connect with Motherhood Unstressed: Leave a review on iTunes (why do you love the Motherhood Unstressed Podcast?)

Shalane and Elyse's message of ritualizing self-care—and fueling those moments with healthy, delicious meals—will resonate and leave you with some fun new ideas for your morning routine. Nutrition coach and chef Elyse and Olympic silver-medalist Shalane are known for their healthy, high-fuel, go-to recipes. But a lot has changed for Shalane and Elyse since their last book, Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow, became a bestseller in 2018. Now both in their forties, Elyse is training for her first marathon, and Shalane is running 6 marathons in 43 days! In RISE & RUN, they share how their routines have changed, and what they do to stay fueled and centered in their busy lives. These peeks behind the curtain—and their foolproof recipes—are what make Shalane and Elyse trusted resources for so many people trying to squeeze in time for their passions and keep their bodies healthy. Some of the topics we discuss: The struggles of finding balance in a busy life (kids, careers, relationships) and still prioritizing yourself, and what works for Elyse How to clear your head and focus on the here and now with your kids The top recipes that keep their bodies fueled without taking too much time to make Recipes that fuel the whole family (even the picky eaters) QUOTES "Outside of running more miles, the single greatest thing athletes can do to improve their performance (and their long-term health and happiness) is to learn to cook."

Alex and Carlos Pena Vega Poet Kate Baer Seth Godin "Somebody Feed Phil" Phil Rosenthal The Way of Integrity with Martha Beck Heart Mind Coherence Meditation About "A Mouthful of Air" A Mouthful of Air is a compassionate and wrenching portrait of Julie Davis, a young wife and mother torn between the love she feels for her family and the voice in her head that insists they'd be better off without her. When it was originally published almost twenty years ago, A Mouthful of Air was compared to seminal feminist works such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "A Yellow Wallpaper" and Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar". It is a powerful, tragic Statement on motherhood, family, and survival. Within the narrative of A Mouthful of Air is an argument about the nature of depression—its causes, cures, and the price it exacts from its victims. With spare, elegant prose, this brutally honest portrayal of family and self illuminates the power and complexity of the human psyche. Amy Koppelman is a graduate of Columbia's MFA program. Her writing has appeared in The New York Observer and Lilith. She lives in New York City with her husband and two children, and is the author of the novels, "A Mouthful of Air" and "Hesitation Wounds".

Alex and Carlos Pena Vega Poet Kate Baer Seth Godin "Somebody Feed Phil" Phil Rosenthal Holocaust Survivor William Harvey The Way of Integrity with Martha Beck Bark Technologies with Titania Jordan Activating the Vagus Nerve Meditation About Kute Blackson Kute has been recognized as the "Mindfulness guru that billionaires go to for advice" by Inc Magazine. See full article here. A beloved inspirational speaker and transformational teacher, Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute's multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual's true gifts and greatness. Kute quickly learned that the "outside-in" approach favored by so many in the personal development space had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided to create his own method—a process that liberates the individual and the true self at the core and then pushes those gifts outward into the universe. This helps the individual get in touch with who they really are. It is a process of breaking free—so that the individual can live, give, and share the truest expression of their self. This is what Kute calls "Liberated Living."

S4 Ep 307How to Change Your Thoughts + Behaviors on Food, Dieting, Weight Stigma, and Body Shame with Wavelength App Creator Sarah Stites
In this conversation CEO and co-founder of Wavelength, Sarah Stites, and I discuss the power of changing your thoughts and behaviors around food, and the toxicity of diet culture, weight stigma, and body shame. Tune in to learn how changing how you think can improve your relationship with food for good! Sarah was diagnosed with PCOS and pre-diabetes as a teen, gaining 100lbs within a year while struggling with dieting. Instead of addressing the root causes of her eating habits, doctors and diet programs shamed her for her weight and lack of "willpower." That's when her mom, a scientist with a PhD and a masters degree in nutrition science stepped in. She helped her understand the science and psychology behind her eating choices, without guilt or shame. Sarah changed her eating by working with her body and mind, reversed her pre-diabetes, and lost 150lbs. That was ten years ago. Together, Sarah and her mom created Wavelength — a holistic, compassionate, science-forward approach for anyone struggling with eating choices. QUOTES "The behavioral, the metabolic, the neurological patterns that underly our eating choices are complex, but it has nothing to do with the quality of your character, discipline, or willpower" "By addressing the root causes of our eating behaviors we can fundamentally heal our relationship with food, change our health and change our stars" Download the Wavelength app and save 50% off with code Unstressed https://www.joinwavelength.com/motherhood-unstressed Instagram @joinwavelength Connect with Motherhood Unstressed: Get the book "Motherhood Unstressed - Daily Meditations on Motherhood, Self-Care, and the Art of Living a Life You Love" available in print and Kindle.

S4 Ep 305How to Parent with Hope and Purpose in an Environmentally Threatened World with "Warmth" Author and Climate Movement Organizer Daniel Sherrell
Author and Climate Movement Organizer Daniel Sherrell joins me this week for a expansive conversation on climate change: not what it is or how we solve it, but the emotional terrain of the crisis, and how it feels to imagine a future—and a family—under its weight. In his new book, "Warmth", a fiercely personal account written from inside the climate movement, Sherrell lays bare how the crisis is transforming our relationships to time, to hope, and to each other. Tune in to learn how best to navigate these disheartening times, and parent with hope and purpose in an environmentally threatened world. Connect with Daniel Sherrell at https://www.danielsherrell.com Buy the Book: At once a memoir, a love letter, and an electric work of criticism, WARMTH goes to the heart of the defining question of our time: how do we go on in a world that may not?

S4 Ep 302Talking to Your Kids About SEX with Author of "Making a Baby" Rachel Greener
The dreaded sex talk, how soon is too soon? Experts in the field of sex education tout that we should be talking to our kids about their bodies as soon as they can talk. Yet many parents are not having those conversations. In fact, a 2019 study stated that 63% of the teen boys reported that their parents had never talked with them about contraception, and 44% of the teen girls said the same. But talking to our kids about sex shouldn't elicit dread, it's actually a great way to begin an ongoing conversation about relationships, body parts, boundaries, respect, privacy and consent. In this episode I'm speaking with author and book editor Rachel Greener about her new book "Making a Baby", an unabashed and unapologetic portrayal of who we are, how we came to be, and how families are made. It answers the age old "Where did I come from" question as well as all young reader's questions about their life in full detail, from conception to birth, and how they were able to join their family. MAKING A BABY shows that since there's more than one way to make a baby, there is more than one way to make a family – whether babies are born through fertilization, IVF, IUI, adoption, or surrogacy; proving above all that families can be made from anywhere and with anyone.
