Broadcasting from Quarantine 2020, this is Coping Skills, a podcast where we talk about the HOW in overcoming anxiety (and mental health issues of all kinds), run-of-the-mill human imperfection and doubt, and imposter syndrome in order to enact positive routines and achieve the kinds of things that Tim Ferris and Jordan Harbinger teach us about. AKA: I want to know how people scale life’s emotional and sometimes physiological mountains to think about and do what matters. Second AKA: I want to talk to people how they get out of their heads and, as Auntie Mame says, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE!

This week, you get to know a little bit about me, your host! I’ll share three of my least and most favorite coping skills. But there’s LOTS more where that came from. Courtesy of yours truly, I also recap the first episode of Season 12 of RHONY (Real Housewives of New York for all you heathens out there) and mention Summer House (team JULES!).

*It’s Watch What Crappens, not Watch What Happens
