The Healing ClubThe Hottie and the Nottie with Nine GuestsOn this episode I read eleven segments which divide the conversations between myself and the other people on the podcast: Meghan Goode, David McQuary, Jordan Brady, Tre Tutson, Justin Massengale, Julie Talbert, Drew Hollway, Stephanie Dee, and Grady Pruitt. The conversations oscillate wildly in tone and hopscotch along through such topics as sexual politics, disappointments in love, military memories, artistic failures, and shattered friendships. Although this is a comedy podcast, there are some dark moments and terrifying stories of a few sorts of traumas. Only a few, though. I promise there are big laughs.

Power Your Parenting: Moms With TeensBoys and Body ImageHow do we help boys develop positive body image?In this episode I interview Dr Charlotte Markey, a leading body image expert for close to three decades. While body image concerns have traditionally been considered a female-centric issue, recent research suggests that 75% of adolescent boys are dissatisfied with their bodies. Now more than ever, boys are facing the same competing pressures: to look a certain way, to wear the right clothes and shoes, to be strong and muscular, and on the mental health side, to hide their feelings and worries from others.

The Hire PodcastMeghan Grady, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels Rhode IslandMeghan Grady has shaped much of her career around giving back.
