Welcome to Episode 44 of That Greenwich Life! This episode marks the final episode of Season One, and Iām taking a moment to reflect on the incredible journey this podcast has been.
When I launched this show last year, I had no idea what it would becomeāhow many people it would positively impact, how deeply personal it would get, and how much it would push me to grow. Over the past year, Iāve shared my own stories and the stories of my incredible guests about motherhood, grief, career pivots, personal reinvention, and all the messy, beautiful, complicated moments in between.
But as I always say on this show, we have to listen to whatās right for us. And right now, I know itās time to pause, reset, and make space for whatās next.
In this episode, Iām sharing:
ā¢ Why Iām taking a breakāand why pausing is sometimes the most powerful decision.
ā¢ How stepping away from something can help us grow in new waysāpersonally, creatively, and professionally.
ā¢ Whatās next? I may not have all the answers, but Iām embracing the āweāll seeā mindset.
Thank You to This Seasonās Sponsors:

This week Iām joined by Harsh Patil, the CEO and founder of Xplorearth, a luxury travel company specializing in bucket-list experiences, to talk more about my answer to both of those questions time and again ā African safaris! Harsh shares his deep knowledge of this experience and why you donāt need to wait until āsomedayā to go.

Plus, Harsh shares his insider travel tips and some of the other incredible, off-the-beaten-path adventures he curates around the world.
In This Episode:
ā¢ The best time of year to go on safari (hint: itās more flexible than you think!).

Iām diving into something that has completely transformed my sleep, my energy levels, and even my overall well-beingāmouth taping! It sounds scary ā I know! But I promise you itās not! It forces you to breath through your nose and reap amazing health benefits while you catch your beauty rest.
To break down the science behind breathing and why nose breathing is crucial for your health day AND night, Iām joined by Jenn Warwick, a certified breathwork expert and founder of Breathe for Life. Jen explains how the way we breathe impacts our nervous system, our sleep quality, our stress levels, and even our ability to think clearly.

Welcome to Episode 40 of That Greenwich Life! As I'm getting closer to wrapping up Season 1, Iām scrapping my planned topic this week to talk about something real, raw, and deeply personal. As my daughter's 2nd birthday and the 6-year anniversary of my baby's passing approaches within weeks of each other, I'm reminded that dark and light, grief and joy, beauty and pain will always exist side-by-side. Sometimes, life reminds us that certain momentsācertain seasonsāwill always hold weight, no matter how much time passes.
If youāve ever struggled with loss, trauma, or the complicated emotions that surface during anniversaries of pain, this episode is for you. Grief and healing arenāt linear, but they are part of what makes us who we are.
The body truly keeps the score. From the trauma of loss to my journey through infertility and ultimately to the miracle of my daughterās birth, this episode is about recognizing how deeply our past remains within usāand learning how to honor it while moving forward.
In This Episode:
ā¢ Why certain times of the year trigger deep emotional responsesāand how to navigate them.
ā¢ My personal journey through loss, infertility, and healingāand what it taught me about resilience.
ā¢ The moment I realized my body was shutting down from griefāand how I started to heal.
ā¢ The unexpected full-circle moment that tied my past pain to the birth of my daughter.
ā¢ The importance of giving yourself grace, space, and permission to feel it all.

Welcome to Episode 38 of Season 1 of That Greenwich Life! This week, Iām taking a moment to reflect on staying grounded, finding balance, and letting go of the hustleāespecially when life (or vacation) feels like a whirlwind.
This episode is for anyone who feels like theyāre always going, planning, doingābut struggling to simply be.
After an epic February break with my familyāfirst at Beaches Turks & Caicos, then at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando, FloridaāI realized just how much our nervous systems dictate how we move through life. Whether itās rushing from one resort activity to the next, trying to make the most of every moment, or simply forgetting to pause and breathe, this trip reminded me of the power of presence over planning.
I also take a deep dive into a difficult chapter of my lifeānavigating IVF, loss, and the deep emotional toll of it all. Returning to Universal Studios years later, under completely different circumstances, was a powerful full-circle moment that reminded me how much healing can happen over time.
In This Episode:
ā¢ How an over-scheduled vacation made me realize I was still operating in hustle mode.
ā¢ The difference between being present and just checking things off a to-do list.
ā¢ The full-circle moment of returning to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter after one of the hardest seasons of my life.
ā¢ Navigating IVF, loss, and the unexpected ways healing happens over time.
ā¢ Why true grounding comes from withinānot from the perfect plan, place, or schedule.

Welcome to Episode 37 of That Greenwich Life! This week, weāre shifting gears and diving into something we all need more ofāhumor. Because letās be real, life is chaotic, motherhood is exhausting, and the only way to survive it all is to laugh through the madness.
Joining me is Megan Schinella, the creator behind one of my favorite Instagram accounts - @meganschinella, where she shares hilarious and oh-so-relatable takes on parenting, social media, and the absurdity of everyday life. Meganās content is the perfect reminder that we donāt have to take it all so seriouslyāand that humor can be one of our greatest tools for getting through tough times.
This episode is for anyone who needs a break from the stress, a good laugh, and a reminder that weāre all just figuring it out as we go.
We talk about everything from raising teens - and their Sephora obsessions - to how social media can be a double-edged sword when it comes to validation and creativity. Megan also shares the incredible story of how Spencer Pratt (yes, Spencer and Heidi from The Hills) ended up collaborating on one of her reels.
In This Episode:
ā¢ Why humor is the best survival tool for motherhood, stress, and everything in between.
ā¢ The hilarious reality of social media, validation, and dealing with internet trolls.
ā¢ How embracing imperfection can make life (and parenting) so much more fun.

January was such an incredible month, and we're kicking off February with a solo episode that dives deep into self-discovery, personal growth, and a more focused mission for this show. Iāve been thinking a lot about what truly mattersānot just for this podcast, but in my own life. Over the past year, Iāve navigated some big personal revelations, reevaluated what brings me joy, and made a conscious decision to create a space right here that fosters connection, healing, and authenticity.
We donāt always have to have everything figured out, and Iām working on giving myself permission to keep things messy and always evolving ā with a mindset of āweāll seeā ā and I invite you to do the same.
I played around with the show intro to make sure it really captured the essence of the show - and me, your host. I'm not totally there yet but will keep working on it!
In this episode:
ā¢ Reflections on our Five-Part January 2025 Glow-Up Series and how itās setting the tone for the year ahead.
ā¢ A behind-the-scenes look at why I updated the showās teaser and trailerāwhat Iāve learned about myself and how I want this space to evolve.
ā¢ Why I didnāt turn this into a Greenwich gossip show (despite the temptation) and how my past as a celebrity reporter shaped that decision.
ā¢ The personal struggles that redefined my perspectiveāfrom infertility and pregnancy loss to rebuilding a life that truly aligns with who I am.
ā¢ The transformative power of the phrase āWeāll seeāāwhy it can change the way you approach lifeās challenges and uncertainties.
ā¢ A beautiful quote from Yung Pueblo that perfectly captures the heart of this podcast and the kind of energy I want to cultivate.
This episode is all about stepping into alignment, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing the journeyāeven when we donāt have all the answers.

This week in Episode 34 of That Greenwich Life, weāre wrapping up our 2025 Glow-Up Series with an inspiring conversation about creating spaces that nurture, comfort, and reflect who you are ā no matter the size or location of the place you call home.
My guest, Andrea āAndiā Sinkin Jaffe, founder of Andrea Sinkin Design, (Also @Andrea_sinkin_design on Instagram) is a Greenwich-based interior designer whose work has been featured by House Beautiful, Martha Stewart, and New England Home.
Andi shares her expertise on turning any homeāwhether itās a sprawling estate or a cozy studioāinto a haven that feels both stylish and deeply personal. And she shares a few ways you can make your space feel like a safe space on every budget. We talk about the power of layering in design, why lighting is key to setting the mood, and how even the smallest updates can make a space feel new and alive.
We also reflect on the emotional connection we have to our homes and how making intentional design choices can create a true sense of sanctuary, especially during lifeās most chaotic seasons.
In This Episode:
ā¢ Andiās journey to building a thriving design businessāand why she took the nontraditional path.
ā¢ Why layering is the secret to creating a cozy and inviting space.

My special guest, Carly Ridloff, is the founder of The Exchange Project (IG:@the.exchangeproject) and I met her back in December at an amazing event she did in Westport, CT, with my friend and Mindset Coach, Julie Vincent, who you have heard on this show before.

Welcome to Episode 32 of That Greenwich Life! In this solo episode, Part 3 of our 2025 Glow-Up Series, Iām diving into an essential but often overlooked part of the glow-up journey: learning to listen to yourself, setting boundaries with intention and how itās possible to communicate those boundaries to others with honesty and kindness.
This week Iām reflecting on my own experiences and lessons learnedāespecially around navigating busy seasons, saying "no" when needed, and embracing the power of intentional decisions.
Using New Yearās Eve as a springboard, I explore how we can move away from people-pleasing, let go of guilt, and prioritize what truly nourishes our souls, while still honestly communicating our boundaries with people in a caring way. This episode is all about creating space for mindfulness, honoring your needs, and making room for what feels right while still being considerate of others.
In This Episode:
ā¢ Why New Yearās resolutions donāt workāand why setting intentions instead helps take the pressure off
ā¢ The importance of slowing down and tuning into what you and your family truly need
ā¢ Real-life lessons from a busy holiday season and learning to say ānoā without guilt
ā¢ Why setting boundaries isnāt selfishāitās essential for your well-being and your relationships
ā¢ How intentional choices can make space for more meaningful connections in 2025

Welcome to Episode 31 of That Greenwich Life! As we continue our 2025 Glow-Up Series, in Part 2, Iām thrilled to dive into a topic thatās more than skin-deepāskincare as self-care. This week, Iām joined by Nicole Caroline, a master esthetician with over 25 years of experience, a celebrity clientele, and a brand-new luxury spa right here on Greenwich Avenue, Nicole Caroline Skin.
Together, we explore how caring for your skin can transform your confidence and even your soul.
We talk all about overcoming that annoying self-doubt we all experience from time to time and the importance of pausing to really soak in pinnacle moments. Sheās not just about glowing skināsheās about glowing from within, and her story will leave you inspired to take bold steps in your own life.
We also talk practical skincare tips, like the importance of a nighttime double cleanse ā cleansing with oil of all things! - to remove makeup and sunscreen, and the magic of her signature ice spheres for depuffing, glowing skin, and even calming your nervous system. Nicoleās philosophy is simple but powerful: when you feel good in your skin, it shows in every part of your life.

ā¢ Why authenticity and uniqueness is your āsignature sauceā
ā¢ How skincare became a healing ritual for Dorothy during difficult times of pregnancy loss, miscarriage and failed IVF.

Itās the 30th episode of That Greenwich Life and the first of 2025! I canāt believe how far weāve come, and Iām so excited to kick off the year with a super fun special episode with tons of travel ideas as part of That Greenwich Lifeās 5-part 2025 Glow-Up series this month.
No New Yearās Resolutions here because ā letās be honest ā who really keeps them? I know I donāt. Instead of only hitting the gym hardcore with the rest of the pack (okā¦we can do that also), Iām focusing on five areas of our lives where we could all use just a little bit more self-care, attention and direction.
This week in Part 1, Iām joined by my longtime friend and incredible NYC-based travel journalist, Juliet Izon, whose work has been featured in The New York Times, Travel + Leisure, The Wall Street Journal and more. Together ā since you all know by now Iām a travel writer as well! - weāre sharing travel ideas and tips for every season and school break, whether you're dreaming of a spring getaway, summer escape, or a holiday trip to end the year. From Grenada to Morocco, Norway to San Diego, thereās something here for everyone, no matter your style or budget.
Whatās Inside:
ā¢ February Break Inspiration: Grenadaās serene Silver Sands Beach House and my upcoming trip to Beaches Turks & Caicos (with a magical stop at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter on the way back to Greenwich!).
ā¢ Spring Break Favorites: Morocco and Southern Spain for culture and adventure, or Mallorca for a quieter, off-season vibe.
ā¢ Summer Escapes: Norwayās fjords and culinary treasures, or a surprising pickāVail, Coloradoāperfect for hiking and llama treks.
ā¢ Holiday Travel Magic: Juliet shares her wintertime Lake Placid experience at Lake Placid Lodge, while I talk about the incredible Hotel del Coronado in San Diego.
Special Thanks: PodPopuli for hosting me and to this episodeās sponsors, Illume Fertility and Steam Greenwich.

Now that the holidays are officially over, itās time to look back on the last few weeks and identify what worked well and what just didnāt so next year we donāt end up in the same unfulfilling patterns during the precious time of the holiday season.
Too many of us KILLED ourselves to keep traditions alive that no longer serve us and our families, AND too many of us engaged in extreme people pleasing at a large cost to our own peace.
This week Iām also sharing a listenerās moving story about finding gratitude amidst unimaginable loss. Itās a reminder that the holiday season is not just about perfection but about connection, healing, and joy in the small moments ā and prioritizing your mental health.
In this episode:
ā¢ A sneak peek into my upcoming girlsā getaway to the Mirabeau Inn & Spa in Rhinebeck, NY, with my best friend, Alison Seponara.
ā¢ The joy of incorporating new traditions, like tinsel on the Christmas tree, and rethinking old ones that no longer serve us.
ā¢ Why itās okay to say ānoā to holiday obligations and prioritize your familyās unique needs.
ā¢ Reflections on past holidays, navigating childhood traditions with divorced parents, and how those experiences shape my current holiday approach.
ā¢ The balance between people-pleasing and preserving your peaceāand how to make self-care a priority.
Thank You to This Weekās Sponsors!

This week, Iām sharing some holiday highs, a few stumbles, and why staying flexible is more important this time of year than ever before. From our familyās Christmas tree adventure (where nothing went as planned) to balancing holiday to-dos with quiet moments, itās all about finding joy in the unexpected.
I also share a bit about past holidays that were tough and how those experiences helped me shift my perspective. We all experience grief around the holidays, and it's so important to leave space to process it. Itās not about having a picture-perfect season; itās about finding little ways to make it meaningful, even if that means curling up with a blanket and just enjoying the glow of your Christmas tree.

In yet another follow-up to the past two episodes about body image, this week Iām joined by Dr. Shieva Ghofrany, an OB-GYN with 25 years of experience and the founder of Tribe Called V. She has shepherded me ā and countless other women and families - through some pretty traumatic medical hurdles, and she is talking all things perimenopause with me this week in the studio.
Sheās dishing about hormonal changes, misconceptions about treatments ā especially hormone therapy - and how to manage symptoms like weight gain, hot flashes, low libido and mood shifts. Youāll never believe how helpful something as simple as Vitamin D3 is ā or watching your alcohol, sugar and caffeine intake! Thereās no one-size-fits-all approach but she definitely shares some action items.
Most importantly, we talk about how self-compassion plays a role in these changes. We have to find a middle-ground between making positive changes and accepting the natural aging process.

This week, weāre diving into Part Two of our body image conversation. Everyone faces their own struggles, and while they may vary in size, what truly matters is how significant those struggles feel TO YOU. Itās not about whether others think your concerns are validāitās about how YOU perceive and deal with them. Iām sharing more about my postpartum recovery journey, how hormones and perimenopause play a role, and how intermittent fasting helped me when nothing else seemed to work. We need to shift our perspectives and embrace the beauty of our imperfections.

This Thanksgiving, instead of worrying about our bodies or what weāve eaten, letās focus on positivity and gratitude. Yes, there's something about every one of our bodies we wish we could change, but while the world may judge our size or shape ā and sometimes we are our own harshest critics -- itās our job to remind ourselves that we are beautiful, blessed, and deserving of self-love.
This week, Iām sharing my own postpartum recovery struggles and how Iāve navigated body changes, negative self-talk, and have learned to embrace this season of life (there is not much exercise happening for me these days). Plus, I talk about how Rent the Runway saved my sanity after my daughter was born, the power of body positivity for our kids, and why itās time we all start being kinder to ourselves.
