Over the past year, we’ve all been hit hard with the 24/7 news cycle blaring into our living rooms. We sat with our eyes glued to the TV, terrified we’d miss SOMETHING. But, with everything being deemed “breaking news,” are we really just setting ourselves up for a constant state of anxiety? Are we truly INFORMED or are we all guilty of ambulance chasing with our eyeballs? We’re joined by Jessica Yellin, former Chief White House Correspondent for CNN - to discuss why she walked away from a power...

Today is the final installment of our Co-Host Spotlight! Our guest today, and co-host, Heidi Kristoffer, walked away from a glamorous acting career to get covered in other people's sweat teaching yoga. So we dig deep... to find out WHY.

It’s Monday March 22, and that means one thing: TONIGHT IS THE BIG NIGHT! We’re getting ready to interview Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt in front of a “live” Zoom audience of 75 OTG superfans, in our second ever “Off the Gram LIVE!” and we couldn’t be more stoked! 100% of the ticket sale proceeds went to God’s Love We Deliver, a charity that delivers medically tailored meals to homebound New Yorkers.

As many of you may have seen on Insta, our co-host, Meaghan, is recovering from COVID. Her hubs, 3 kids and 70-year-old mom were all infected with the virus and it was harrrrrrd. The toughest part? While there’s plenty of clear PREVENTATIVE info (wear a mask, wash your hands, socially distance, etc)... she discovered that once they tested positive, they felt CLUELESS. The information about exactly what to do once infected is simply not "out there" and it left Meaghan feeling helpless, terrified ...

According to the CDC, 6 in 10 US adults have a chronic disease. 4 in 10 US adults live with two or more. Hard to diagnose, they often "come & go" leaving others wonder if “their condition” is all in their head, a desperately frustrating feeling for those who suffer. Our guest today, Nitika Chopra, has lived her entire life with chronic illness. She went from feeling isolated and wondering about her purpose, to making it her mission to raise awareness, educate people on, and empower people wi...

Daphne Oz is known for many things (TV personality, best-selling author, chart-topping podcast host), but redefining modern motherhood most of all. As one of television’s most recognizable faces (The Chew, The Dish on Oz, FOX’s MasterChef), it’s hard to believe that Daphne is also a mother of FOUR!! We chat about maintaining that fragile balance between health, happiness, sanity, & success, including releasing the pressure to make her “self-care” look perfect. What does she do instead? She k...

Ever wish you were one of those upbeat, positive people who embrace every day with a CAN-DO mindset that motivates others and makes life more FUN?

Alli Webb wears many hats... mom, NYT-bestselling author, podcast co-host, and co-founder of mega-category-disruptor DryBar and the innovative Squeeze.

Living publicly on social media seems glamorous from the outside… a curated “best-of” reel detailing our smiles, smoothies, and golden hour selfies. But what about the other side… the ugly side of it all? Today, we’re joined by Gabbie Hanna, Billboard-charting music artist, vlogger and YouTuber with upwards of a combined 20 million followers. Gabbie’s new book, Dandelion, which recently debuted #5 on the New York Times bestseller’s list, is a raw - sometimes uncomfortably honest - collection of ...

Today is our second installment of: CO-HOST SPOTLIGHT!! We interviewed our gal Jamie Hess to talk about “loving your hustle,” because truly no one does it better than her! Jamie spent two decades as a high-level Public Relations pro with clients including W Hotels Worldwide, LinkedIn, McDonald’s, Barry’s Bootcamp, and many more. Over time, she found that her favorite clients were always those in the health + fitness space, and she yearned to pursue that area full-time… and thus, @NYCfitfam was b...

Heading towards the New Year is ALWAYS a good time to shake off the old and welcome in the new, so today we talk REINVENTION with Rebecca Minkoff. 2020 caused many of us to reinvent a business, brand, or the way we earn a living, and Rebecca had been an A+ case study in successfully navigating that pivot. On today’s show, she “spills the tea” on her secrets to success and her ability to “reinvent & reimagine” while staying authentic and true to her core brand DNA. Tune in for her tips on how...

Get ready for our new series, where we turn the tables on... everything! Today’s guest is our very own co-host, Christine Bibbo-Herr, aka @NYCpretty !! At 45 years young, Christine lives a vibrant, colorful, and joy-filled life with her hubby of over a decade, John… so why do so many people ask her if she’s “truly” happy, given the fact that the duo never had kids? Why do we feel so much pressure as a society to only follow one cookie-cutter life path? Why do young women feel like they “should j...

Today’s guest Leigh Clark is one of life’s magical unicorns who throws kindness around like confetti, but she wasn’t always that way. In 2008 at the age of 29, Leigh lost her job and had to move back in with her parents… and realized she had an opportunity for a “restart.” She started a journey of transformation that included a daily random act of kindness… after paying off one lucky person’s holiday layaway, she was hooked!

Ok, so here we are…. our 40s. We know not all of our listeners are there… but some of you are. And the rest of you will be! So we want to chat about an often taboo topic which shouldn’t be… PERIMENOPAUSE. First of all, what it is? What’s gonna happen to us? What should we do about it?? And WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF??? Many women think that “vocalizing” our aging process is somehow embarrassing, that it signals a time when we’re inching towards being less sexy or desirable… when the r...

Adulting, man. It’s hard! One day you’re young, wild, and free, the next… no sleep, taxes, and craziest of all, someone actually put you in charge of keeping little humans alive!! It can all be… A LOT. Have you ever caught yourself taking yourself WAY too seriously?? It can be a delicate balance: being a "responsible grownup" while reserving the right to laugh (at yourself!) when you royally screw up, drop the ball, or simply find yourself dripping with vomit, pee or worse(!) from your newborn a...

The temperatures are dropping and the air is getting crisp…. And DRY!! This time of year can really do a number on our skin, and we are definitely waving the white flag when it comes to winter skin care. We all want good skin, we all want to look YOUNG (!), and there are so many products on the market right now we’re just OVERWHELMED... it’s so hard to separate the “winners” from the “hocus-pocus.” We took our questions to the best in the biz to get the inside scoop on it all: we’re joined by Dr...

Atkins, Keto, Intermittent Fasting, Wheat Belly, the Zone, South Beach, Paleo, Volumetrics, High Fiber, Raw, Weight Watchers, the list goes on. And on. And ON… Why are fad diets SUCH a thing? And, what makes them different from “diets'' that have stood the test of time like: Mediterannian, veganism, macrobiotic, anti-inflammatory, whole foods, or plant based? When did we as humans become so disconnected from our bodies that we need a book or another person to tell us how to eat? And WHEN did we ...

"Going with your gut" - what does that mean to you? Today's guest, Dylan Lauren, preaches the benefits of "doing what you want in life, because that's what you're going to be good at." Sounds like a simple philosophy, right?? But how many of us wake up each day knowing we're not following our "true passion," but can't figure out how to set forth on a different path? Dylan is basically #LifeGoals, running her incredible Dylan's Candy Bar, not to mention her charity, Dylan's Candy BarN, which help...

In April of 2007, Arianna Huffington woke up in a pool of her own blood. She was two years into building the Huffington Post, all while parenting two teenage daughters as a divorced mother… so basically, juggling ALL the things, like so many of us do. She had been burning the candle at both ends, and literally collapsed, breaking her cheekbone and requiring stitches over her eye. She was diagnosed with a severe case of “burnout” and decided this was not the life she wanted to lead. It was then t...

How does change happen? So many of us know change is required, but don’t quite know the right steps to make it happen. Some make the fatal error of staying quiet in the hopes of not harming anyone: afraid to say or do the wrong thing. Sometimes, we think we are the only person who feels things are wrong, since some things (like sexual harassment and racism) have been grotesquely normalized and accepted as “just a part of life”. Thankfully, with the courage of the amazing humans who spoke up and ...

What is Veganism?! Is it an expensive diet? A trendy way of life for “earthy, healthy” people? Does being vegan mean I have to give away all of my favorite designer handbags and shoes made of leather?! Can I still be a part-time vegan, or vegan-ISH and get some of the benefits? Why does it seem like there’s SO much dislike for this movement? And there’s so many new studies around plant based /whole food diets yielding higher immune systems, but where do vegans get protein? Can they get enough ca...
