That Greenwich Life

     Now that the holidays are officially over, it’s time to look back on the last few weeks and identify what worked well and what just didn’t so next year we don’t end up in the same unfulfilling patterns during the precious time of the holiday season.      Too many of us KILLED ourselves to keep traditions alive that no longer serve us and our families, AND too man...

This week, I’m sharing some holiday highs, a few stumbles, and why staying flexible is more important this time of year than ever before. From our family’s Christmas tree adventure (where nothing went as planned) to balancing holiday to-dos with quiet moments, it’s all about finding joy in the unexpected.       I also share a bit about past holidays that were tough and how those exp...

     In yet another follow-up to the past two episodes about body image, this week I’m joined by Dr. Shieva Ghofrany, an OB-GYN with 25 years of experience and the founder of Tribe Called V. She has shepherded me – and countless other women and families -  through some pretty traumatic medical hurdles, and she is talking all things perimenopause with me this week in the studio....

This week, we’re diving into Part Two of our body image conversation. Everyone faces their own struggles, and while they may vary in size, what truly matters is how significant those struggles feel TO YOU. It’s not about whether others think your concerns are valid—it’s about how YOU perceive and deal with them. I’m sharing more about my postpartum recovery journey, how hormones and perimenopause...

This Thanksgiving, instead of worrying about our bodies or what we’ve eaten, let’s focus on positivity and gratitude. Yes, there's something about every one of our bodies we wish we could change, but while the world may judge our size or shape – and sometimes we are our own harshest critics -- it’s our job to remind ourselves that we are beautiful, blessed, and deserving of self-love. This week, I...

This week, I’m still reflecting on the post-election mood and no matter which way you voted, we have to find a better way to understand one another, even when we disagree, and we have to find a better way to understand the facts. I’m sharing my go-to resource for staying informed without the drama and false info: Mo News, and I’m joined by Mosheh Oinounou, founder of Mo News and former Emmy, Murro...

The election is over, and whether your candidate won or lost, we ALL have the chance to choose kindness and tolerance toward each other and reject hate every single minute of every single day. It’s not often on this show that I talk about specific things that happen in Greenwich that involve other people – afterall it’s NOT a gossip show even though some would like to hear the juicy dish on this t...

It’s time to tell the story of how I ended up sharing a private moment – and a drink – with one of the biggest rap moguls in music history one night in the early 2000s. He is now in federal custody after being arrested and charged for multiple crimes including sex trafficking with two dozen other lawsuits filed against him accusing him of drugging, assulting and even raping people.  You don’t...

Being sick sucks. Being really sick – I’m talking “hospital” sick, “can’t-figure-out-what’s-wrong-and-you-have-to-see-a-million-specialists” sick really sucks.  It’s an emotional roller coaster whether you are the patient or someone you love is.  It can be traumatic – I know it was for me when I went through 4+ years of pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and failed IVF – and navigating the hea...

If you want to live your life as your authentic self – not the person you want others to see – but as you, the real you, then we all know we have work to do and tools to find that can help with that.  One of those tools is Human Design. Never heard of it? Yea, me neither, but I learned a lot this week from  my in-studio guest, Brianne Cuttler of Be Aligned, an intuitive life and success...

Have you ever felt like you’re giving maximum effort to something but still feeling stuck? You aren’t getting the results you want, no matter how hard you try. The truth is, there is something each and every one of us wants to change right this very minute – about ourselves, about our lives, about others (good luck with that!), and there's one place we can all start: we can change our definition o...

In Episode 18 of That Greenwich Life, your host, Dorothy Cascerceri Simone, is digging into the secondary trauma so many listeners reported experiencing while going through one of the hardest times of their life: The silence of people they considered to be their closest support system.  This crushing disconnect can make a dark time darker, and you will never believe (or sadly you may know you...

In Episode 17 of That Greenwich Life, your host, Dorothy Cascerceri Simone, is digging into what defines “HOT” – and it’s not what you think. Inspired by a “45 and HOT” Greenwich birthday party she attended, Dorothy brings fellow Greenwich Mom and Head of Community at HeyMama on the show, Penny Goffman to talk about this confidence-based mindset we all need to have, no matter our age.  Stay t...

In episode 16 of That Greenwich Life, Dorothy Cascerceri Simone continues the conversation from last week and shares a bit more about her personal grief journey. More importantly she’s sharing a few tools she has learned along the way that have immensely helped her – and can help you too (or can even help you help a loved one or friend who is going through a challenging time). Follow Dorothy for m...

It took 15 episodes of That Greenwich Life for our host Dorothy Cascerceri Simone to break … really break.  This week, she proves that grief enters the chat when we least expect it, and if you’ve endured loss, heartache or heartbreak of any kind, this episode is for you. It’s personal. It’s emotional. But there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. She reached for a tissue box, and you may...

This week’s episode addresses the whiplash of life we all feel from time to time. That moment of peace and happiness when something great happens and then that low low when things don’t go as planned or we get bad news. It’s so hard in these moments to cope, keep up and make sense of it all. Stay tuned to the end of the episode for the weekly “Work ON.” Just like we all have our daily and weekly w...

The quote: “ ‘I just don’t want that for myself anymore’ is a valid enough reason to stop anything” kicked off this new episode about the power of the word NO. Too often we kill ourselves in the spirit of saying yes to everything – and everyone – and many of us are too afraid to create healthy boundaries. Joining me to discuss this and more is my longtime friend, Public relations powerhouse Gwen W...

This week’s episode was supposed to be a solo ep, but the person who inspired it has been begging me to co-host the show, so this week I’m so thrilled to be joined by my 8-year-old son, Nicholas. I’ve always said when Plan A doesn’t work out – we’re talking about the small things in your day-to-day and the larger things in life too – that Plan B is not always the “lesser, back-up plan.” In fact if...

In this week's episode, joining me to share her inspiring leap is two-time Emmy award-winning national journalist turned entrepreneur, Jillian Mele. You’ve seen her on Fox & Friends and WPVI-TV in Philadelphia, but she walked away from her dream career because she knew she needed a change, and now she’s helping people shape and tell their stories through her latest business venture called Skil...

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how important it is to pick a direction when we communicate our needs and desires to others, and how too often we struggle getting clear with ourselves. We think we want one thing but we say we want something different, and then we wonder why the universe isn’t giving us what we’re seeking. And stay tuned to the end of the episode for the weekly “Work ON...

We’ve talked a whole lot about keeping our minds and lives in balance on That Greenwich Life, but in this week’s episode, we’re focusing on our bodies. We’ve all dabbled in yoga at one point or another, but have you heard of the hottest new trend – Face yoga? I’m joined by yoga and meditation instructor, on-air fitness personality, my friend and Greenwich resident, Nicole Glor, who you’ve seen on...

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about our resistance to help from others – especially when we need it most – and what’s behind it. The days of being a martyr are OVER, people! And stay tuned to the end of the episode for the weekly “Work ON.” Just like we all have our daily and weekly workouts, on That Greenwich Life, I’m leaving you each episode with your weekly “Work ON” -- something small y...

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about something we could all use more of in our lives – JOY! - and the difference between joy and happiness. I bet you thought you were the same thing – so did I. I’m joined by special guest, mindset and wellness coach, yoga and meditation instructor and founder of “Clear Space For Joy,” Julie Vincent. She’s sharing some tips on how we can clear space in our own...

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about expectations – those stories we create in our minds that can oftentimes lead to major disappointment. But did you know there are things we can do in the moment to stay more open-minded and accepting of however a situation unfolds? Stay tuned to the end of the episode for the weekly “Work ON.” Just like we all have our daily and weekly workouts, on That Gre...
