In this episode of Mic’d & Medicated, Caroline and Eva sit down with psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman to talk about what’s really going on in our heads — and how to make it a little more enjoyable in there.

From self-talk and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to body neutrality, social pressure, and the mental gymnastics of modern life, Dr. Goldman breaks down the mind-body connection in a way that’s practical, relatable, and refreshingly non-judgmental. She also shares insights from her upcoming book and reminds us that while life is hard, it doesn’t have to feel hard all the time.

This episode is about building a personal mental toolkit, setting realistic expectations, and focusing on what’s actually within your control — i.e., not pretending you’ll suddenly become a perfectly calm, well-rested, joyful billionaire.

Small shifts. Better self-talk. Less suffering. We learned so much in this conversation — and chances are, you will too.

We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.

We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be… Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.
