Podcast Overview

A podcast to help you sift through the bullsh*t around work, well-being, and relationships. We‘re passionate about taking care of our mental health so that we can show up in the world feeling as good as possible. We ask questions, seek answers, and share our own experiences – to help you navigate the messier parts of life. Because trial and error is a lot easier when we do it for you. We’re a couple of deeply introspective gals with a lot of feelings, over a decade of friendship under our belts, and a few too many self-help books on our shelves. We’ve always been fans of a good, long, life chat and we wanted to create a space where we could explore the Big Questions, Big Ideas, and Big Feelings that were on our minds as women navigating our late 20’s. We lean into curiosity, vulnerability, and research-backed learning to help each other grow; we’re strong believers that being able to show up for ourselves and each other through gritty times is one of the most beautiful and important things we can do in this life. Our hope is that in sharing and unpacking our own stories and experiences we might help others feel less alone in their own messy, wonderful lives too.

Asking Rachel Kaplan (Psychotherapist): How Do We Feel Our Feelings?

Rachel Kaplan is a licensed psychotherapist and the creator and host of iTunes acclaimed New and Noteworthy podcast The Healing Feeling Sh*t Show. Rachel has spent the last 25+ years studying healing and teaching folks how to collectively reclaim their natural ability to feel their feelings and to develop emotional resilience. Rachel joins Educated Messes to share her personal story of loss that led her down this path, and to walk us through the different steps involved in moving our emotions. Rachel shares the importance of creating safe containers to access and process our unresolved feelings. We talk about society’s blossoming acceptance of sadness versus its flat-out rejection of anger and healthy ways to approach and experience anger so that it doesn’t build up in our bodies. Doing the work of addressing and processing our feelings is no easy feat, but what’s the cost of continuing to turn away from ourselves? We think it’s too high.

How Can We Become More Authentic?

In part two of our authenticity series, we get real passionate as we explore tools to embrace vulnerability and live a more authentically aligned life. We share that we are done pursuing contentment and are instead moving into our ~big feelings era~. We talk about how choosing authenticity is an act of mini-revolution against the conforms of society and the patriarchy (such light and fun topics). We remember that while channeling our truest selves might bug some folks, we don’t owe anyone previous versions of ourselves. Ultimately, we decide that given how we’re all just floating around in different realities, worrying about other people's perceptions of us is a waste of our precious time.

What Keeps Us From Being Authentic?

In part one of our authenticity series, we define what authenticity means to us (“striving to align our actions with our core values and beliefs with the hope of discovering, and then acting in sync with, our true selves.”) and discuss three big barriers that might be preventing us from being our most authentic selves. We learn how complex of a topic authenticity really is and explore how difficult it can be act in alignment with our values in a society that repeatedly tells us not to love and listen to ourselves. We share some of our personal experiences with authenticity, discuss the importance of being clear on our values and how mindfulness can help us behave more authentically. ✺ Follow us on Instagram @educatedmesses if you’d like to join the community and be a part of our conversations in future episodes!Note: Our offer to include free ad reads for BIPOC-owned businesses still stands and will continue to stand. ✺ Other EM episodes we mention   Episode 21: Why Are We So Hard on Ourselves?
