Hi friends, Penn here. As some of you know, I am obsessed with all things sci-fi. This traces way back to my childhood during the Star Wars and Star Trek days that sparked a lifelong fascination for all things space. It?s the main reason that I always wanted to be an astronaut. Fast forward to today, you can see that life took me in a wildly different direction. (Plus I have terrible vertigo so I would have made a horrible astronaut.) Dashed childhood dreams aside, the impact these movies and shows had on me got us thinking. 

Turns out, the stuff we consume has a greater impact than you think. Walt Hickey wrote a fascinating book called You Are What You Watch: How Movies and TV Affect Everything that discusses just that. In it, Hickey dives into (among many other things) the power of entertainment, how it can have an actual physical effect on us, and how it can greatly shape who we are as individuals and as society. So we invited him on this week?s podcast! Also bonus?after the interview, Kim and I test our 90?s pop culture knowledge with our producer, Ann Marie. (And I remain the champ of Britney Spears knowledge?IYKYK.) 

Special Announcement: We launched a 3-part bonus podcast series about ADHD! You can listen to the Part 2 now and pre-order our new book ADHD Is Awesome!

Welcome back! This is Part 2 of our 3-part ADHD Is Awesome bonus series! This podcast series is inspired by our new book ADHD Is Awesome which comes out April 30, 2024. In this series, we plan to answer three big questions: 1) What does ADHD look like, 2) How do you best partner with someone who has ADHD, and 3) What do you do with your ADHD to (mostly) thrive.

This week, we have Dr. Emily King join us to talk about how we can best partner with a child or student with ADHD. We also have my lovely wife Kim, who talks about what it's like to partner with her husband who has ADHD (me!) If you haven't heard part 1 of this series, you can listen to it here: ADHD Is Awesome: Your Brain (Part 1)

I love discovering new things about people through great conversation. But lately I?ve been thinking about how to avoid the pitfalls of asking a question that might make the other person feel uncomfortable or awkward. One of the reasons for that self-reflection is the fact that we have a junior in high school and previously, if I met up with one of her friends, I'd ask, ?Where are you thinking about going to college??  I had no idea how much stress just that simple question creates. (I wrote a blog about it here!)

So this week, we asked you to send us your worst and best questions to make us laugh and help us get better! From what NOT to ask a pregnant woman to ?what is the first movie that comes to mind when you think of Tim Curry?? Penn and I picked out some of our favorites to share with you on this week?s podcast. What's the best question you've ever been asked?

This week, we have Dr. Marcy Caldwell join us who had a big hand in helping research for the book. We also have our producer, Ann Marie Taepke, gives some insight into working with someone with ADHD and we take a voicemail from Heather. We can't wait to hear what you think of this episode (and our new musical jingles that go with it!)

Most of you that have followed us for a while know I?m an anxious person. You know one thing that bizarrely doesn?t scare me? Artificial intelligence taking over the world. There's a lot of hills I'm gonna die on. But if there's a zombie apocalypse triggered by AI? Take me first, alien overlords. Penn is extremely worried about artificial intelligence and what could happen if it gets in the wrong hands. So we invited Dr. Helen Crompton, a professor at Old Dominion University and the Executive Director of the Research Institute for Digital Innovation in Learning at ODUGlobal, on this week?s podcast to educate us.

Artificial intelligence will continue to evolve in extraordinary ways, but I now have more tools to protect myself and my family against those who are using it for harmful means. How do you feel about AI? You can find more about what we discussed below:

If you had a button to get rid of your ADHD or someone else?s, would you press it? The perception society has around Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is pretty negative. You would find it hard to believe there are benefits to something that has three unfavorable words as part of its name. I would rename ADHD in a heartbeat if I could. In our book, ADHD Is Awesome, we talk about alternate names we would use or others have come up with. But no matter what we were to rename ADHD, we need to reframe it. 

This week we talk about changing the perception of ADHD, including the reframing name, traits associated with it, and even your own thinking about your ADHD. Listen to the show and let us know if you had a button to get rid of your ADHD or someone else?s, would you press it? I know I wouldn?t. I am grateful for my ADHD because my ADHD makes me who I am.

I heard of schadenfreude for the first time while sitting in the audience of the hilariously wonderful Broadway show Avenue Q. It means pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune. But if schadenfreude is taking pleasure in someone?s misfortune, can you take pleasure in someone?s joy? Enter freudenfreude.

On this week?s podcast, we had Dr. Catherine Chambliss teach us how to practice more freudenfreude. Dr. Chambliss shared some of the benefits of freudenfreude and easy practices to include it in our lives (like even if you aren?t feeling that joyous about someone else?s success?fake it! Acting out emotions can help jumpstart those feelings in your system.) Tell us if you have any achievements or fun things that have happened to you lately - we will hype you up! Promise.

I have a solid marriage, a great one actually, but most nights I look over to my husband, who falls blissfully asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, and I?m filled with RAGE. How does he fall asleep so quickly?!? How does his body let him STAY asleep?! Apparently, sleep disruption like I am experiencing is one of the many (many) symptoms of perimenopause. But sometimes, I feel like it?s something *I* have done wrong, something *I* must be doing right. As if it?s all in my head.  I?m writing to tell you, it?s not. 

This week, we invited Dr. Mary Claire Haver on the podcast to discuss all things menopause. I was able to read an advance copy of her new book, The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts. (It will be released the same day as our book!) Her book focuses on everything a woman needs to know to thrive during her hormonal transition and to help her take charge of her health. In our podcast we talk about symptoms, how partners can be supportive, and actionable things you can do to help lessen the craziness. Are you going through perimenopause or menopause?

Penn here! This week, we recorded a live podcast at SXSW in Austin, Texas about how to (mostly) thrive with ADHD. We talk about how the world wasn?t built for ADHD and what systems I?ve put in place to make life more manageable. My hope is that we can find more understanding for those of us with different, but wonderful brains. If you have ADHD, how would you change your school or workplace to be more ADHD friendly? Big thanks to everyone who attended, we are so excited to get our new book out into the universe.

Recently, we had the privilege of going on family vacation in the Caribbean and one of the activities we planned was snorkeling. He was particularly excited about seeing the ?nerf shark.? (Yes, he said nerf shark instead of nurse shark.) Penn is very smart. He?s one of those annoying people who took the SAT and got an amazing score the first time. So, I cannot tell you how happy it made me that he thought a nurse shark was called a nerf shark. Easily my top moment on vacation. 

This story led us to talking about the other things we?ve gotten loud wrong in our lives this week on our podcast.

We have very fun (but weird) jobs where we have to always be producing something. Small business owners know that you have to hustle in order to make a living. Your success (or failure) is a direct correlation of your work. And it?s a lot of pressure. This week on our podcast, we interviewed Celeste Headlee, author of Do Nothing: How To Break Away From Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving.

I have to admit some of her advice about slowing down did not seem like it could work for small business owners like Penn and I. It was refreshing to hear even Celeste (who is self-employed) didn?t believe that slowing down could lead to the same, if not more success. Celeste gave us great advice to help me break my busy addiction. Do you have a hard time slowing down?

I am pretty sure I didn?t do ?gentle parenting? with my kids. To be clear, Penn and I don?t really have to discipline our children. They are wonderful kids and on their way to be amazing adults. But when they were toddlers having a tantrum, I can?t say that I was gentle. But should I be? Is it too late to change my parenting? Enter our dear friend, Dr. Hope Seidel, a parenting coach and pediatrician. When I posed this question to Dr. Hope, she responded: ?Why do you think you need to change, Kim? Because a book told you so??

This is why I need Dr. Hope in my life and why I am so glad she joined our podcast discussion this week. She reminded us that it?s important to ask yourself: What am I hoping my kids will be, and am I creating a home that promotes that vision?

There was a time when we?d have a reservation at a cozy restaurant to celebrate Valentine?s Day. Things are different now, but not ?bad? different. I don?t love my husband any less. In fact, there?s no way I could love him more, but we are not in our date night era. So this week, our producer Ann Marie Taepke (she also plays our Midwest Neighbor in videos) joins us! When you've been together for a long time, it's hard to find new things to talk about. Ann Marie brought us 10 wacky questions to make us laugh and learn more about each other.

Last week, we put out a fun video about Taylor Swift and the Super Bowl. It went viral and for the most part people loved it. But some of the comments got us talking enough to feel like we needed to do a podcast on it. Over the past couple months, Taylor Swift has received criticism for supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce in his career. Some of the recent claims about her are misogynistic and awful. Would anyone say these things if an internationally famous male musician was supporting his female girlfriend? No. (In fact, he would probably be praised.)

This week we unpack with our friend Carlos Whitaker. He?s a self-proclaimed ?hope dealer? who has found a way to bring people together, people of different political parties, races, religions, to have really hard conversations. Carlos Whittaker is an author, speaker, and storyteller who is bringing hope to humans all over the world. What I love is his saying: "I don?t stand with issues, I walk with people."

*This podcast talks about weight loss and issues surrounding body image*

I love the sentiment around body positivity today. Models of all sizes cover magazines, and performers in larger bodies headline tours. But I don't know if I will ever get there. I grew up in the 90s where being thin was socially rewarded. It wasn't until I met Penn that I realized how you look doesn't have an impact on how you're loved or what you are capable of accomplishing.

I talk more about this in a recent blog post, but it got me thinking... do I have to be body positive? Is body neutral an option? Enter expert Anne Poirier to talk to us about what it means to be body neutral and actionable ways we can give gratitude to these amazing bodies we have. Learn more about Anne and the work she is doing here: https://shapingperspectives.com/

This year I am trying to worry less, and it?s a hard resolution to measure. But I have a theory about needing to do less of something: Adding more. If I try to do more, will I have time to worry? I wrote a blog post last week that kicked off this topic in our weekly podcast. Penn and I talk through what we want more of in 2024 (which Penn is super on board with for the sole reason that it rhymes. Thank goodness I didn?t think of this in 2025.) I asked a bunch of you want you wanted more of in 2024 and your answers did not disappoint.

My motto lately has been: "That sounds like a January problem." So when it came to the last podcast of the year, I decided to make it a problem for our lovely team: Ann Marie Taepke and Sam Allen. Hear the 4 of us discuss the best moments from the podcast this year, what Penn & I have learned about each other, and some behind-the-scenes fun. (Should we have Sam and Ann Marie on again?)

Have a great holiday break, we are taking two weeks off and will be back on January 9th. See you in 2024! Have a question for us? Call 323-364-3929 or email us at [email protected].

I don?t buy lottery tickets. Not because I have moral opposition, but because I know I?ll never get this lucky ever again. Ten years ago, we won the internet lottery. We posted a video we titled, ?XMAS JAMMIES? and it went viral. To be clear, we didn?t intend for millions of people to watch that video. It changed our lives forever (it's even how you're listening to this podcast now!)

This week we talk about the lessons we've learned over the last 10 years. I wish I had better words to express our overwhelming gratitude for you, the person reading these words. We feel so lucky to be on this journey with you and we can?t wait to see where the next ten years take all of us. Check out our 10 Years Later video. Have a question for us? Call 323-364-3929 or email us at [email protected].

I have to admit, I roll my eyes when people tell me to slow down and enjoy things. When I first heard the phrase ?Calm Christmas? my mind heard the word lazy. There are so many obligations and traditions that are expected of us this time of year, how can you possibly slow down? This week we talked to Beth Kempton, author of Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year: A Little Book of Festive Joy, to help inspire calm in us this season.

Calm can mean different things to different people. Beth encourages others to have conversations with yourself and your loved ones about what you want out of the holidays. Once you understand what everyone wants, you can be intentional about how to plan for them. You can learn more about Beth and her work here: https://dowhatyouloveforlife.com. She also has the Calm Christmas Podcast and you can sign up for free for her Winter Writing Sanctuary.

Penn and I are no strangers to sports. We both enjoy playing recreationally, watching matches, and our kids are competitive too. There?s so much to admire about professional athletes. But what can we learn from them? This week we have world-renowned sports psychologist, Dr. Nicole Detling, on the podcast to talk about how to get our heads into a winning mindset.

Dr. Nicole has consulted athletes for 25 years, including Olympic and Paralympic medalists, world champions, professional athletes in the PGA, MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL as well as professional rock climbers, road cyclists, mountain bikers, and water skiers. Professional athletes are ordinary people doing extraordinary things. In Dr. Nicole?s experience, these individuals have higher levels of commitment and perseverance. We discuss how we can get in the zone in our everyday lives, as well as the pros and cons of youth sports. You can learn more about Dr. Nicole's practice here: https://www.headstrongconsulting.com/

Last month, I announced my Slow 60 Challenge in an attempt to minimize anxiety and unnecessary stress in my life. Maybe you?ve probably heard of the ?Hard 75 Challenge? - my Slow 60 is completely the opposite. This week on the podcast, I talk to Penn about my Slow 60 Challenge and how I am doing with it. While I haven?t been able to achieve my goals everyday, I don?t get too hung up if I slip. I make a promise to myself to try again tomorrow. 

In America, we live in a society that values busyness constantly. It?s led me to ask if it is even possible to live a slower life. Are you working full-time, raising kids full-time, and been able to discover the secret? I?d love to hear from you. Tell me how you ?slow? :) Call 323-364-3929 or email us at [email protected].

This week we try our first Holderness Book Club! Nikki Erlick, author of The Measure, joins us this week to discuss her New York Times Bestselling novel. (While I have read the book, Penn is representing the book club member who just comes for the wine.) We talk to Nikki about the inspiration around her book, how the pandemic influenced it, and she answers your questions.

We stayed away from spoilers, so if you still want to read the book this will be a good starting point. The premise of the book is thought-provoking regardless if you read it or not: If you could know the length of your life, would you want to find out? Learn more about Nikki here: https://www.nikkierlick.com/.

Let us know what you thought about our new format and what book we should do next! Call 323-364-3929 or email us at [email protected].

Kim and I have a phrase that we talk about in our marriage book: Name it to tame it. It?s the idea that when you say your fears out loud you take away some of its power over you. It was the inspiration for today?s podcast about naming what you are afraid of... without getting too heavy. I promise this is a fun podcast episode.

We also call this exercise "naming the tarantula" - more on that in the pod. Another inspiration for today?s podcast was a recent video we did about Halloween costumes in the 80s. I have a fear of clowns and when we asked our followers for their throwback photos we realized: EVERYONE WAS A CLOWN. Whyyyy? 

What are you afraid of? Name your tarantula and tell us! Call 323-364-3929 or email us at [email protected].

In our society of overabundance, we are constantly craving more, more, more. For me, I can't stop scrolling. It?s like a slot machine, but in this case, the slot machine is my phone. You know you can get something of value, you know you?ll eventually get a reward if you keep trying, and oh boy can you play it over and over again. Luckily, we had Michael Easter on the podcast this week to talk about fixing our craving mindset and rewiring our habits.

Michael Easter is the bestselling author of the books, The Comfort Crisis and Scarcity Brain: Fix Your Craving Mindset and Rewire Your Habits to Thrive with Enough. We were so happy to have him on because we've quoted his book numerous times. Easter has dedicated his life to researching and writing about what leads humans to live healthier, happier, and remarkable lives. Hear all about the scarcity brain, rewiring our habits, and why he needs to go to space.

We?ve all done it ? looked into our dog?s eyes and wished we knew what they were thinking. We enlisted the help of our dear friend, Victoria Stilwell. She is the dog-training mastermind behind the hit show It?s Me or the Dog, the Victoria Stilwell Academy, and many other projects. She?s a big deal in the dog-training world and we were so excited to have her on this week?s podcast.

We have a very special guest joining us for today's podcast. Academy Award-winning actor and New York Times bestselling author, Matthew McConaughey! Matthew graciously gave us some of his time to talk about his new children's book, Just Because. (It's fabulous and you can get it wherever books are sold.) We talk about dreams, creative inspiration, his Greenlights Grant Initiative, and if his three children finally think he is cool. (Spoiler alert, he may be with the rest of us parents on that. Even though he is Matthew McConaughey.)

For more on the Greenlights Grant Initiative, visit here: https://www.greenlightsgrantinitiative.org/. Big thanks to Matthew!

Recently, we put out a song parody in response to Taylor Swift showing up to watch Travis Kelce at the Kansas City Chiefs game. (The rush of a deadline is exciting for Penn?s ADHD brain as well as both of our former news journalist backgrounds.) After we hit publish on the video, we kept getting the same comment: "I wish you would sing every news story!"

On this week?s podcast, we explore the idea of how it would sound if Penn sang the news and he gives us a behind-the-scenes look at his writing process. Listen to the three news stories we sing about and tell us what you think. Should we start making this a regular series? Let us know by calling 323-364-3929 or emailing us at [email protected]. And if you like this podcast, please consider leaving us a review!

I like to think I am a recovering ?snow plow? parent. You?ve heard of helicopter parents that hover over their children, right? Well, instead of just hovering, you remove all the obstacles for your kids in order for them not to experience disappointment. I think it?s hard for any parent to see their kids struggle, but the struggle is what builds resilience, right? This week on the podcast, we interviewed Jess Ekstrom to hear her story in entrepreneurship and her new book, Create Your Bright Ideas, for tweens and teens.

A piece of advice I love from Jess is around  ?safe falls.? Jess is a new Mom and her daughter is learning to walk. She said that she knows she can give her daughter more room to explore and test her new found skill when she knows she can fall safely. Jess said that?s the same for kids and entrepreneurship. You have to let them try on their own, especially when they can fail safely. 

Listen to our talk with Jess and tell us know what you learned! Let us know by calling 323-364-3929 or emailing us at [email protected]. And if you like this podcast, please consider leaving us a review!

Who remembers what it was like to walk around the mall on a Friday night and seeing all your friends? It takes so long nowadays for my friend group to make plans. I miss the days when there was a standing social event you could just show up at. You couldn't text anyone to say you were there. You did laps around the mall and got to enjoy the surprise and delight of seeing people you knew. This week, Penn and I decided to avoid my anxiety and make Top 5 lists. What 5 things do you wish came back and what 5 things should never come back?

Tell us what you miss about days gone by (and what things should just say away forever.) Also, should this be our new thing? What should we make a top 5 list about next?

Penn and I have had our fair share of interactions with hospice as our loved ones grow older. There are so many people who don?t always have access to hospice care in the way they would like. But one thing I do know, the nurses who care for us in our final days are a special breed. One of these special nurses is Hadley Vlahos, a registered nurse devoted to hospice care.

Hadley (or Nurse Hadley as she is known online) recently wrote a New York Times best-selling book The In-Between: Unforgettable Encounters During Life's Final Moments and she joined us on this week?s podcast. She writes about the life lessons she gained from her patients and the phenomenon of ?the in-between.? These are the days where it seems people have one foot here on Earth, and the other somewhere else. It turns out, you can learn a lot about living from the dying. We talk to Hadley about some of her stories in the book, our own experiences, and her efforts to change the way we die with her non-profit, Hadley House.

I am constantly wavering about being proud of my kids for good grades and feeling overwhelmed with how much work they have to do. The same goes for sports as I?m the loudest one cheering on the sidelines, but sometimes brought to tears when they have a hard loss. We wanted to discuss how to deal with setbacks, so we brought Michelle Icard onto the podcast to tell us how to turn failures into character-building moments, something she lays out in her new book, 8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success. 

We talk about teen archetypes, the value of having a poker face, and the 3-step approach for problem solving common failures. It?s important to schedule a time to talk, share your own mental health journey, and try to keep your face emotionally uninvested as your kid shares their feelings. Ask a question or just say hi, by calling 323-364-3929 or emailing us at [email protected].

When you've been married for a long time, it's hard to learn something new about each other. Luckily, our producer, Ann Marie Taepke, joined us this week on the podcast to help. Inspired by our friends, Shawn Johnson and Andrew East (who did this on their podcast recently) we play "How Well Do You Know Your Partner?"

Learn what I have pretend fights about, Penn's worst vacation, and why Penn thinks he married a cat. (I agree, by the way.) Also, do this with your partner by using the questions on our blog post: https://theholdernessfamily.com/how-well-do-you-know-your-partner/ (and you can see the photo of our first date!)

Some people get FOMO (the Fear of Missing Out) but I have FOMS (the Fear of Missing Sleep.) I go to bed early and I am an extremely light sleeper. Penn, on the other hand, likes to say up a bit later than me and... is a snorer. Recently, Penn had a cold and slept in the guest room and I had some of the best sleep of my life. It got me wondering, are there couples who have happy marriages and sleep in separate rooms?

This week we have Dr. Shelby Harris, a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in behavioral sleep medicine to talk all about it. She says there is nothing wrong with a sleep alliance for couple who has different sleep styles or nighttime routines. Is this happening at your house? Let us know and learn more about Dr. Harris here: https://www.drshelbyharris.com/.

It's back to school time and we honestly needed a little pep talk. So, Dr. Seidel joined us on the podcast this week to calm our nerves. Her biggest piece of advice? You have to let your kids fail. (As a perfectionist who wants to cover my kids in bubble wrap every single day, it?s hard to hear.) Parents often say, I?ll worry about my own needs later. However, Dr. Seidel says we need to put our own oxygen masks on first. There is no better way to teach our children than to model it with our own behavior.

We talk about what success really means for kids and how to instill (and standby) family values. Dr. Hope Seidel has been practicing medicine for over 20 years. She is a pediatrician, a mom, and now runs a 1:1 parent coaching company called Parent With Hope. As always, Dr. Seidel?s episode is filled with a ton of useful nuggets for parents preparing for back to school. We hope you enjoy!

This week we were in the mood to laugh, so who better to invite back to the podcast than comedian Charlie Berens. Charlie is about to embark on his fourth stand-up tour, and he creates content for the internet just like us. He?s learned over time to stop chasing likes and algorithms and to focus on enjoying the process. Even if you don?t make silly videos for the internet, we?ve all fallen into the trap of ?I?ll be happier when?? We keep moving the goalpost forward without taking time to admire how far we?ve come. As the great Miley Cyrus once said: It?s not about how fast I get there, it?s not about what?s waiting on the other side. It?s the climb. (And we talk all about it.)

Enjoy our hilarious chat about Midwest bowel habits, snakes in lakes, and what?s next for Charlie. You can get more information about his tour at charlieberens.com and if you missed him the first time, check out his first appearance on our podcast!

I have the best, most loyal friends from different parts of my life but I?ll be honest, the idea of making NEW friends makes my pits sweat. I?m in my late forties, but even thinking about making new friends and all of a sudden I?m thrust back into my middle school when a group of girls made fun of me for walking into their circle and introducing myself.

On the podcast this week, Penn and I spoke to Dr. Marisa G. Franco, a friendship expert who wrote the book ?Platonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make?and Keep?Friends.? She explained why friendship is essential at every stage of life, and friends can help you discover a totally new side of yourself. We dive deep into the science of friendship, trends between men and women, and how you can apply these same concepts to having healthy relationships with family. Dr. Franco shares one thing you can do right now to make friends?and it?s probably not what you think.

Penn got me kiteboarding lessons for my birthday. It was so cool, but also very painful. I learned a few life lessons when I went outside my comfort zone.

True story, when Penn first got diagnosed with ADHD in the mid-90s, his doctor handed him a book called Driven To Distraction. It was a brand new book by Dr. Ned Hallowell about ADHD and it was groundbreaking at the time. Penn's doctor encouraged him to read it to understand his brain. Penn said, "Great!" And then he proceeded to leave it in the backseat of his car... forever. This week we come full-circle and interview the ADHD OG, Dr. Ned Hallowell on the perception of ADHD, what we should do for ADHD caretakers, and life coaching works. You can learn more about Dr. Ned and his new book, ADHD 2.0, here: https://drhallowell.com/.

On the podcast this week, we are answering your questions, but we picked questions you can also ask your family! These are great discussions for a summer roadtrip or around the dinner table. We discuss everything from goals, happiness, and fun conversation starters like: If you had to move, where would you go? 

One big thing Penn and I share is a love for travel. Some of my favorite family memories are days spent on the go?from skiing to beach days and everything in between. This may not be a surprise, but when it comes to quality time, I like to go big or go (literally) home. I crave that time away together and the fun conversations we have.

For some reason, this summer feels busier than our regular school year. Our teen and pre-teen kids are involved in camps, sports, studying for SATs, and thinking about college. When I was their age, I was happy to hang with my friends and maybe get a part-time job scooping ice cream. Nowadays, teens are looking for internships to put on college resumes. What happened to summer? What happened to slowing down?

We invited Carl Honoré, an international bestselling author, broadcaster and the voice of the Slow Movement to help us this week on the podcast. His two main-stage TED Talks have racked up millions of views, and his counter-intuitive message is this: To thrive in a fast world, you have to slow down.

I probably say sorry at least twenty times a day. Of course I want to take accountability, but sometimes I apologize when I didn?t do anything wrong. Which got me thinking, is there a problem with saying sorry too much? This week on the podcast, Penn and I invited Award-Winning Leadership Strategist & Global Peak Performance Consultant to Fortune 500s, Shadé Zahrai, to talk to us about what our sorries mean and what to say instead.

If you have ?Saying Sorry Syndrome? you can flip from apology to appreciation. Shadé helps us with some tips and tricks this week.

It?s the start of summer, which means going to the pool, grilling out, and heading to the beach? all of which usually include an adult beverage. But lately, Penn and I have been drinking less. For me, too much drinking greatly impacts my sleep. For Penn, cutting back on drinking is about protecting his brain health and trying to prevent Alzheimer?s disease which runs in his family. We discuss our experience with being sober curious and social pressures around drinking. Are you in a similar boat?

I want my kids to be happy. (I know, I know, I know. It?s an impossible and unrealistic goal.) I?ve been in enough therapy sessions to know that chasing ?happiness? is a fool's errand. We should really be appreciating all the moments we have on this planet. Being ?happy? is a fleeting emotion. So when you get to see your child experience joy, true unbridled joy, you want to bottle the feeling and carry it in your heart forever. Last week, we had the chance to see Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in New Jersey and I got to witness what every mother wants. I got to see my kid (and about 70,000 others) really, really happy.

This week Lola and I had debrief the entire concert experience on this week?s podcast. She shared her favorite moments, the touching story behind my new favorite picture, and how Swifties came to our rescue after the concert. Lola also answers some of your most commonly asked questions. (And we give concert tips if you're going!)

My goal this year is to put myself in as many uncomfortable situations as possible. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. On The Amazing Race, we were put in MANY uncomfortable positions. I found that it was easier for me to tackle bigger-picture things (like bungee jumping) than the everyday things. Something as simple as making a take-out order makes my pits sweat (and in a recent social media post, we found out many of you feel the same about phone calls to strangers!)

Penn and I wanted to know why phone calls are making people anxious, so we asked Dr. Selena Snow. She says humans tend to pay more attention to negative information because we are hard-wired to spot danger. However, avoiding things that make us uncomfortable can make things worse. So, let's get uncomfortable and learn more...

This week on the podcast, we wanted to laugh so we brought in "our Midwest neighbor" to help. Her name is Ann Marie Taepke, and she?s been playing our on-camera neighbor for over 2 years. (She isn?t our real neighbor, but she is really from the Midwest.) What you may not know, is that Ann Marie is a producer, writer, and manager of our weird family business. We talk about how we got connected, funny stories over the years, and we have a 20 minute Midwest good-bye that plays out in real time.

We read your most heartfelt or funniest neighbor stories along with our conversation with Ann Marie... one tip: watch out for chipmunks. You can follow more of Ann Marie's Midwest antics here: https://www.instagram.com/annmarietapkey/ or on our channel. You can also check out our first video with her as well as our Next Door video below.

Every time I learn about another mass shooting in this country, I lose at least a day. Though a school shooting in my community is my worst fear?it is happening at outlet malls like in Allen, Texas and at banks like in Louisville, Kentucky. It?s happening at grocery stores, music festivals, movie theaters, and birthday parties. Mass shootings have changed the way we live our lives. So, we wanted to ask the question: How did we get here and what will stop gun violence in our country?

This week we spoke with Ryan Busse, former top-performing firearms executive and author of the book, Gunfight: My Battle Against the Industry that Radicalized America. Ryan talks with us about why he left the gun industry after 25 years and the reality of what it will take to change the culture around guns. Whether you agree or disagree with our concern around gun violence, I hope you will listen and approach this podcast with an open mind. You can learn more about Ryan here: https://ryanbusseauthor.com/
