7. Alcoholic Alchemy and Astrology?!?

7. Alcoholic Alchemy and Astrology?!?

This episode is all about taking a break and chatting about fun personality-typing articles. Nothing serious this week - it's summer folks, let's have some pointless fun! Join me while I discuss two recent articles from the NY Post that reveal what our "go to" alcoholic drink says about us and which hero we are according to our zodiac sign.

4. Bula Bula Bula: Sharing Our Fave TV Shows

4. Bula Bula Bula: Sharing Our Fave TV Shows

This week's podcast is a true glimpse of what a conversation between me and Gwyneth really sounds like! Spoiler alert, we are two drinks in and super sleepy so you will hear a lot of laughing and experience abrupt subject changes! In this episode, we talk about funny commercials and scenes from our favorite shows: Schitt's Creek, Friends, Parks & Rec, and New Girl. I hope you enjoy our thoughts!

3. Everything is Everything . . . And Here's a Little Bit

3. Everything is Everything . . . And Here's a Little Bit

Paying homage to the great Lauryn Hill (for obvious reasons and ones mentioned in this episode), my vibe for this podcast rises from the lines in her song "Everything is Everything" - "I wrote these words for everyone who struggles in their youth . . . I philosophy, possibly speak in tongues . . . change, it comes eventually." I start this podcast with a discussion of popular culture developments and then move into the heavier things in life. I reflect on - and react to - an episode of my daughters' podcast - 20 in the 20's, and then talk about some of the current scholarly work that I'm doing as well as some personal development items from my vision board.
