Life actually is that deep. There is a lot of deepness we all experience and have yet to experience. The little aspects of our lives and days that can feel like a big deal at the moment, those are not that deep. In Not That Deep, we get deep, and we also touch on what's not that deep. What are these things that can FEEL so deep - but we take a step back and can say, well wait a second... that's not that deep. Also like ... let's crack up.

    REDROP: Speaking up about Mental Health Doesn't have to be That Deep, Episode 82 with KJ Dillard

    REDROP: Skateboarder, Musician, Model and most importantly Mental Health Advocate KJ Dillard joins me on Not That Deep to lay it all out there. KJ's vulnerability in sharing his mental health journey is admirable. In an effort to provide others with the strength to lessen the stigma, we talk about mental illness, what it looked like for him, what it looks like for him, how we can help others and how KJ is helping himself. KJ was truly wonderful to talk to, he has a very calming presence and I hope you feel the same when listening to this episode.

    Bridging Gen Z and Politics is Not That Deep, Episode 81 with Haley Lickstein

    Haley Lickstein joins me on Not That Deep for episode 81. I loved talking to her - hearing her story, how she became so active in her community from a young age, her love for debate, her experience on the hill and the amazing work she continues to do. Haley has such a passion for women, reproductive rights, community and I loved getting the opportunity to get to know her when she was visiting New York from DC! Enjoy.

    Telling Someone You Like Them is Not That Deep, Ep 79 with Ilana Dunn

    One time a few years ago I saw a clip of a girl on the internet saying ‘the least interesting thing about you should be your relationship status’. I remember thinking … wait yeah. Actually - yeah. Ilana Dunn has such an amazing story of not taking the first ‘no’ as a definite ‘no’, her love for the Jonas Brothers, her connection to music and content, her love for a side gig and truly just her warm heart. Ilana hosts the podcast, Seeing Other People and has a gift for gab. From being JoBro’s number 1 fan to hosting them on her podcast, to running the NYC marathon, to being rejected from a specific major and talking her way into acceptance, and consistently proving herself to be a hard worker, this episode is FUN - and real - and I thank Ilana for her vulnerability and pizazz.

    Missing Spring Break Might be That Deep; Ep 78 Solo, Voicemail Segments

    The voicemails!! They’re here! Producer Chris Mueller texted and asked if I’d ever consider doing a call in section - I didn’t even consider it, I just said yes and immediately got 2 werk. I had so much fun listening to a few of the voicemails you guys sent in and responding to them. Voicemails range from going shopping and coming out empty, not being close with family, missing spring break and more. Net net, they’re not that deep! Thank you to Emily, Roisin, Brynne, Ahmed, Lindsey and Ayla! Can’t wait to continue this segment.

    Not Finishing your Book is Not That Deep, Ep 77 with Lit Club Founder Kelly Chervin

    I saw a post on Substack a few weeks ago, advertising for an event called ‘Rest & Read’. An evening of solo reading quietly, followed by group discussion in a cozy bar in NYC. After attending, I was blown away at the power of this quiet community, bound  together by literature, and the founder Kelly’s ability to create such an amazing event. Kelly has always loved reading - and is a former English teacher. She has lived so many lives in this one city - and finally took it upon herself this year to turn her love for books and community into Lit Club. There are several entities within Lit Club; Rest & Read, Literary Dinners, Book Swap and more. This is just the beginning. Check out Kelly Chervin and Lit Club on Instagram and Substack!

    Taxes and Bedside Manner is Not That Deep, Episode 76 Solo

    Back to basics, for so many episodes when I started this podcast I was doing solo episodes just speaking. It always intrigued me and also worried me how I can just talk for 30+ minutes without a response from anyone. It never surprised me though because sometimes I don't let other people get in a word in a conversation for that long (ugh I'm kidding). It's tax season, this episode is just as much a tale of taxes as it is a reminder to you to do them (unless you're fraudulent). Bedside manner at a doctor's office is equivalent to banter in the real world. If we can banter but you're ugly it might work (similar to a doctor having incredible bedside manner but being awful at their job). Enjoy the solo episode and enjoy your week!! Not That Deep.

    REDROP: Befriending People you Pass everyday is Not That Deep, Episode 49 & 75 with Derrick Blocker and Danny Perez

    One day during my everyday commute to work, I started to hear these bright voices in the subway that after passing the turnstiles, appeared as two men. These two guys were so cheery, greeting everyone who passed, I couldn’t help but greet them right back. After the first week of “good mornings” and “have a great day”, I needed to know their names. Derrick Blocker and Danny Perez are the two guys keeping Union Square peppy. They quickly went from the guys who I said good morning to, to the guys who I hug every morning, running between the two since they stand on opposing sides of the entrance. I tend to stand for 2-4 minutes and watch them do their thing, no matter the time of morning. I watch in awe as they greet little kids, older folk, the regulars, the new commuters, dogs and people alike. People they see every day, and ones they only see once, but make a lasting impression on nonetheless. Derrick and Danny are celebrities as far as I’m concerned. They brighten everyone’s days who pass them, and there is no greater power than kindness. I had Danny and Derrick on Not That Deep not only to share them with you, but to get to know them as individuals. I learned a lot about them, and most importantly I learned that Derrick loves an apple juice at the diner, and Danny prefers butter pecan iced coffee more than the rest. Thank you so much for listening.
