We loved chatting with wellness journalist and podcaster Liz Moody, and you do not want to miss this jam-packed episode of insightful and actionable advice on life, love, and career. Liz shares her story of having so much anxiety she couldn’t leave the house, and how she overcame it with evidence-based, small steps. We discuss how to have deeper relationships with friends and romantic partners – the conversations you have (and how to level them up), what you share about yourself and how it connects you to people, how to actually be there for a friend in need, and the concept of “bidding” and how it strengthens a partnership. Liz defines and explains “psychological richness” and how to have and recognize this in your own life and in others’, and we discuss what we think is going to make us happy vs. what actually makes us happy and why people aren’t fulfilled when they achieve “the thing.” We also talk about the things that drain your energy, actions to improve your energy, and tips for cutting back on scrolling. Before Liz joins us, Ashley pops off about a shirt she is sick of seeing, Rayna was traumatized taking out the trash, and we break down a shocking cheating email from a listener. Enjoy!
