I Had An Affair With My Married Boss
Messy Situations
05/18/22 • 43 min
As cliché as it sounds, from the moment Michael and Nate locked eyes there was an irrepressible attraction. The problem: Nate was Michael’s married boss. Their work relationship required them to spend a lot of time together, including on overnight business trips — a danger zone that pushed the two to the edge. Then, their intimate text exchanges were discovered by Nate’s husband and things got really messy. Clean-up Crew experts Manjit Devgun, a mind coach and palm reader, and Valerie Oula, Director of Vibrational Energy Healing for THE WELL, join the episode to talk about the lessons embedded in love and career crises, and how to move forward with grace.

Josie had been a social drinker since high school, but over the years — and especially over COVID — that drinking became a daily habit, sometimes resulting in her consuming an entire bottle of wine by herself after work. Highly functional, by day Josie has held down an executive-level job for decades— what wasn’t going well was the ways in which her drinking was impacting her relationship with her non-drinking, high-school-aged daughter. Josie candidly shares how things devolved and why she chose to go sober. This episode includes advice from Ruby Warrington, author of Sober Curious and the self-study program, The Sober Curious Reset, on how to re-evaluate your relationship with alcohol, curb consumption or quit.

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but nobody has their shit together 100 percent of the time — nobody. You can be excelling in one part of your life while another area is imploding. Those two states of being co-exist all the time, for everyone. Life is messy like that. And it's okay. What's not okay? Acting like you have it under control when you're spiraling. We want to help. Messy Situations empowers people to release feelings of shame by bravely revealing the unfiltered parts of their lives. Each week we'll discuss Messy Situations —big and small— submitted anonymously and shared by in-person guests, and then call in our Clean-Up Crew of wellness experts, mental-health pros, spiritual guides, energy healers, messy-life survivors and more to start mopping things up. We encourage anyone who is willing to confess their own mess — even science says it’s good for the soul.

Moms Are Not Alright
Messy Situations
06/15/22 • 41 min
Entrepreneur and activist Reshma Saujani has spent her career unearthing injustices and the latest really hit close to home: As a busy working mother of two, Reshma saw firsthand how the pandemic disproportionately impacted working moms, driving them out of the workforce and causing them to take on a third shift of duties (aka Zoom school). Acting as both guest and Clean-Up Crew, Reshma, the author of Pay Up, lays out the surprising reasons women get blamed and burden with all things kid-related, why even childless people should GAF, and how we can all be part of the solution she has imagined through her Marshall Plan for Moms.
