How We'll Live Podcast

I’m excited about today’s episode because not only is Erika Freed an incredible Acupuncturist -- she’s MY acupuncturist!    Erika Prinz Freed is a licensed acupuncturist and healer who expertly helps men & women of all ages transform their health and live a pain- and illness-free life.   She has been studying Chinese Medicine since 2009, and has treated hundreds of patients, from professional athletes to stressed New Yorkers, since earning her Masters Degree in Acupuncture in 2012. She was first introduced to this medicine as a patient— and not only did she experience long-lasting relief from the treatments, she immediately resonated with the holistic and compassionate approach to healing.  Erika was named as one of the top twenty best acupuncturists in New York City by Expertise.com for five consecutive years (2020 - 2016) and has trained in both the United States and China. Erika’s private practice, Prinz Acupuncture, is located in Manhattan.  We talk about:    The hard work it takes to become an acupu

In this solo episode, I talk about why I fangirl hard for Ben Platt. It might not be what you think. It's about being reminded of what it means to be good. What it is to be open, honest, vulnerable, and accepting.  If you've ever felt like you don't fit in, like you're in it alone, or uncomfortable in your human-ness, I hope this episode helps. I get a bit more personal about moments I've felt that way, too.  I also recap the first challenge from season 2 - reducing negative self-talk. I share my experience and how it helped me shift towards a more positive dialogue.  Connect with me on Instagram, my website, and twitter.

In this episode, I’m sharing a confession...I lied about something...and a story about why the holidays are difficult for me. I’ll also tell you how, even though this Christmas is way different than anything I’ve ever experienced, I’m making this holiday the best one in a long time.    The magic of Christmas changes with each year, and that can be a good thing if we let it.

The holidays emphasize social connection and magic. Sometimes it feels like if we’re not feeling those things there’s something wrong with us; or it makes us sad and frustrated that we can’t find the magic. We watch all the movies, listen to all the music, put up the lights, and the tree and it’s still not there.    And it feels like everyone around us is dressed in matching Christmas pajama sets, making snow angels, gingerbread houses, having snowball fights, and curling up with their loved ones watching Christmas movies.    It can be a really hard time of year, but it can also be really great at the same time.   I know I’m not alone in struggling with these conflicting emotions at the holidays and well...throughout the year, so I hope you enjoy today’s conversation with behavior and technology expert Dr. John Grohol.    He is the founder, editor in chief and CEO of psych central, co-author of Self-Help That Works, a published researcher, sits on the scientific board of the journal, Computers in Human Beha
