There's a famous saying in self-help and recovery circles: "You're only as sick as your secrets." Sound familiar? Bestselling author of the Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick and critically acclaimed memoir, Group, Christie Tate joins The Most Days Show to talk about hers. Grappling with an eating disorder and crippled by the weight of the secrecy and shame she associated with it, Christie shares an intimate look at how group therapy changed her perspective and, ultimately, her life.

Well before he became CrossFit’s CEO, Eric Roza said if he could do anything, it would be running the legendary fitness company because he wanted to immerse himself in companies that make the world healthier and happier. That manifestation worked. Roza (a box owner himself) took the helm in 2020, leveraging his reputation as a well-respected leader and his experience as the entrepreneur who built and sold Datalogix to Oracle for $1.2B in 2015.   This amazing entrepreneur, father of four, and all-around good human joins The Most Days Show to go deep on navigating life’s transitions and transformations, pull the curtain back on being an entrepreneur, and shares why a particular Buddhist saying (“Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.”) still resonates. Tune in for more insights.

Depression can hold people down, convince them they’re worthless, and prevent them from finding a healthy rhythm to daily life. What happens in the brain with depression? How does our brain circuitry and environment conspire to skew our perspective? And how can we reframe our perspective to see our qualities and quirks as strengths, not weaknesses?   Dr. Alex Korb, a neuroscientist, bestselling author of The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time, and adjunct assistant professor at UCLA joins The Most Days Show to talk through depression: how it works, what you can do, and the impact you can make on your own state of mind. From considering your “bad” qualities as strengths in other situations to taking very simple steps (e.g., taking a walk, thinking of a happy memory, brushing your teeth) that remind your brain you’re worthy of care, Dr. Korb gives us the science and suggestions behind depression.

Sleep: we need it, we want it, we don’t get enough of it, we get too much of it, we can’t do it at all. Sleep is critical to being a fully functional human being and yet it’s often a real challenge to get a great night’s rest consistently. But rest assured: the gold ring of good sleep is in your grasp with Dr. Chris Winter, christened “The Sleep Whisperer” by Arianna Huffington.   A fully board certified neurologist and double board certified sleep specialist, Dr. Winter wrote The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep Is Broken and How To Fix It. He’s on The Most Days Show to talk through every part of sleep -- from the stages of sleep to how sleep helps your brain and your body to the routines you can adopt to get that high-quality rest we’d all love.

Sex and intimacy are universal components of the human experience, sparking complex emotions from joy to pain to excitement, from grief to pleasure. How you work through sex and intimacy with your partners can make a critical difference in your happiness.    Dr. Britney Blair, licensed clinical psychologist,  Stanford professor, and founder of The Clinic, joins The Most Days Show to give the low-down on getting down, from the pleasure gap to the four ways to respond to sexual invitations to concrete ways to talk to your partner about your desires.

Imagine being blackout drunk at your brother’s wedding and leaving your young daughter alone in the hotel room. That was the moment when Laura McKowen, author of the unflinching, honest and tender memoir, We Are the Luckiest, recognized her drinking would take everything from her if she let it. But as she points out, we all numb ourselves in different ways and life is about learning to be real, to feel.   Laura joins Brent Franson and The Most Days Show to explore her journey to sobriety and the lessons she’s learned along the way. From framing sobriety as the creation of a new life that must be sweetly nurtured and fiercely protected to candid stories of how she was supported in unexpected ways, Laura’s story is truly something to hear. Practical advice to support your own sobriety—or a loved one’s—is shared in abundance.   Join us to be inspired by one woman’s strength—and to take away lessons of grace and determination that can apply to your own journey to change your life, whatever that change might look like. This fast-paced, honest, raw conversation will stick with you. You can find out more about Laura and the work she's doing at lauramckowen.com.
