Happy Hour with Gretchen Geraghty

Just keeping it super real this week about what has been on my mind: missing college. I talk about moments and things I miss in my college experience so that you can cherish these moments in your life. I also speak to current college students regarding the difficult times of maybe not being able to have class in person, live on campus, see your friends etc. I highlight ways you can still feel conn...

I've talked about motivation on this podcast before but wanted to dive in specifically about exercise and living a healthy lifestyle. I talk about what works for me to stay motivated to workout and prioritize a healthy lifestyle even when it isn't easy. Also about building exercise into your routine and making it a habit. Be sure to check out my YouTube channel http://bit.ly/33z6gnM (Gretchen Gera...

This is a topic I've wanted to cover for a while now since I caught myself doing it for so long. Whether you're comparing your body to how it has been in the past, or your situation, I urge you to stop. I made this mistake of living in the past and idolizing this version of myself that was no longer. It was exhausting, unhealthy + hindering me from living in and enjoying the moment. I explain how...

This episode has been highly requested since Lucy and I suddenly lost our Dad last year. I knew how important this would be for us to talk about since everyone deals with grieving the loss of someone important to them at some point in time. This is my longest episode to date where Lucy and I talk personally about losing our Dad and the journey that grieving has been. We discuss stages of grief, wh...

I've wanted to make an episode on this topic for so long now but always felt like I wasn't in a perfectly organized and balanced routine to share. But I realized that it's always going to be a work in progress for me and thats ok. Being very organized and having a great work life balance may come easy to some, but I've accepted that I have to work at it a little bit more. I open the discussion of...

This week I chat about what life is like so far with our Golden Retriever puppy Brody! How potty training is going, crate training, getting up in the night, etc. I also talk about his first vet appointment and how I feel he's changed my life and made me so present and joyful. I also talk about being at our family cottage in PA this week. This lakehouse is so nostalgic to me and truly a place to un...

This episode is a super exciting one with my boyfriend Max where we talk all about our journey wanting a golden retriever puppy for so long and finally being able to get one! We answer how we found his name, why we wanted a boy, and how we found out about where to get him. We explain our difficulties trying to adopt or rescue which is what we always wanted to do. However, we talk about how we stil...

Today we are finally joined by my Mom on the pod!! It was so fun to record with her and have chats about her family, life, career, finding out she was having twins, etc. I'm so happy we were able to do this since I think a lot of you only really know that she's my Mom but not much about her. I hope you get to know her in this episode and see where I came from! Be sure to check out my YouTube chann...

This is a little bit of a different topic this week since you guys know I typically keep it very positive and upbeat. However, I think it's still really important to keep it real and I just wanted to be honest with you guys and not force an episode that wasn't genuinely how I've been feeling, and I'm sure a lot of you can relate during such a crazy time we're living in. I talk about how I know its...

It's moving week! This week I move out of Boston, where I've lived for the past 5 years. I talk about some big moments in the past 5 years living here that have shaped who I am today. Graduating from Boston University, making life long friends, meeting my boyfriend, etc. I talk about my somewhat complicated and hectic moving plans to Pennsylvania and how I plan to come back to Boston in the spring...

In this episode I discuss racism as a whole and it being so prevalent in the US today. I talk about what I've learned, how I've grown, and ways I've been educating myself and speaking out. I include some of your stories and opinions that you wrote in and I thank you for participating in this important discussion.  WAYS YOU CAN HELP Sean Reed Petition https://www.change.org/p/mayor-joe-hogsett...

In this episode I really just chat and catch up with you guys! I'm so sorry I took last week off, I didn't want to let anyone down, just was feeling discouraged. So this week I'm back and better than ever talking about plans changing, trying to not let what people think of me get to me as much, moving, new favorites I'm loving, some current events + missing my family! A little bit of everything :)...

I talk about how now specifically can be such a hard time to stay motivated. Whether it be in your health + fitness journey, your career, your relationships, etc. I chat about what works for me to stay motivated- like feeling grateful and knowing that being able to exercise (or whatever it is) is something I GET to do and an opportunity. I talk about how changing your perspective and mindset can a...

Wow, can you guys believe this is episode 30 of happy hour!! Can't believe I have 30 of these episodes out there! Anyway, kind of a random topic right now, but one that I've always wanted to talk about. I talk about my journey through injury and recovery personally, and also touch on what I've learned from that and through close family and friends. A physical injury affects way more than your body...

I dedicated this episode to talk all about self care, loving yourself, and putting yourself first. It's something we all work on + will continue to work on. It's definitely not always easy, and can be easier said than done, but is an essential part in our wellbeing and happiness. Self care I think means something different to each of us, but I talk about what it means to me. I also talk about ways...

Today I talk all about receiving negativity being a social media influencer. It can also be translated to receiving any kind of negativity, even if its not through social media. I talk about growing up and getting negative comments starting at 15 years old and how it would affect me then, versus how I deal with it now. I've gained a lot of confidence and a thick skin from negative comments, so in...

I finally decided to dedicate an entire episode to why I'm so happy and positive and how I think I got to be that way. A lot of it is how I think I just am, and how I am from my happy childhood, but I discuss different areas of happiness, positivity, and optimism and where I think they come from. My biggest tips and things that help me are finding the silver lining in things, being thankful for di...

Short but sweet this week with some realizations I've had during quarantine. I talk about how I was quite sad, anxious, frustrated, and discouraged at the beginning of all of this. And I still feel these emotions here and there due to our current circumstances. However, I had a shift in my mindset of how we have the privilege of working on ourselves in this moment. To be the best versions of ourse...

I've wanted to talk about losing my Dad in a podcast episode for a while now but I didn't know how and I didn't feel ready. I realized I don't think I'm ever really ready to talk about him, how much he meant to me, and how badly I miss him. But the reason I pushed myself to make this episode is because I know how many of you have dealt with loss and I just want to help in any way I can. I'm sure y...

This episode was so much fun to record with my boyfriend Max! I knew I just wanted something super light hearted and fun for you guys this week. With all the sadness + craziness in the world right now I hope this can be a distraction and maybe a little funny and entertaining :) Max and I talk about what we're doing everyday in quarantine for fun and to stay busy so I hope it can give you guys good...

Today we are joined by Chase Willman, my boyfriend Max's sister, barre instructor, and New York City queen! She tells us all about having Max as a brother and spills the tea on what it was like growing up with him. She tells us her first impression of me as her brother's first girlfriend and what she thought of my YouTube channel. She also tells us all about being a Barre instructor at FlyWheel, h...

One of you suggested I cover this topic and I thought it was such a good idea with spring break season being right now and getting into the spring and summer. I recorded this before COVID-19 had escalated to this extent, so I understand that many travel plans have been cancelled or postponed. That being said, I share my advice on how to stay on track with your healthy living lifestyle while travel...

In this episode I sat down with SoulCycle instructor Maddy to hear about how she does it all! I've been so excited for this episode and I know you guys have been too. Maddy tells us about her journey to become a SoulCycle instructor, her motivations, and her favorite and least favorite parts of the job. She also gets real with us on what she eats day to day to fuel herself, how she recovers and de...

Today we are joined by a close friend but also YouTube + Instagram star Emma MacDonald! I love this episode so much since you can get a good sense of our friendship and a deeper dive into Emma's life and getting to know her. She shares with us her Aritzia must haves and favorite healthy snacks but also deeper topics like coping with anxiety, being independent at such a young age, and her future pl...

I've thought about this idea for awhile and just wanted to share my favorite luxury purchases. I was hesitant to record this episode due to the stigma that can often surround the world of luxury. However, as materialistic as it can sound, some of my luxury purchases are my most favorite things that bring me joy. They tie me to certain experiences and travel that I will never forget. So if you want...
