Seth Marks started his “Note 2 Younger Self” Instagram series because his teenagers straight-up stopped listening to him. Enter the Amygdala Whisperer with a selfie arm, an iPhone, and a lifetime of lessons, Seth began dropping motivational notes to inspire them… not realizing he’d end up inspiring hundreds of thousands of people. But here’s the thing: unlike most motivational speakers, Seth doesn’t just post quotes or bite-sized nuggets - you get the full story behind the lesson, the messy life moments that actually made him realize it. Seth is a true believer that we own the worth of our earth and the importance of not worrying about the outside because it all comes from within and you control that. He lives to be his true most authentic self, doesn’t care what anyone thinks, and shares it all: his separation from his wife, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks, how he became a better husband, building an energy vortex that actually serves you, dropping toxic people, and why Plan B’s can straight-up beat Plan A’s. We dig into people-pleasing, trying therapists like ice cream flavors until you find your favorite, thick skin in the age of trolls, the life lessons school won’t teach you, and how breakdowns often turn into your biggest breakthroughs. As Chicago natives, Seth and I bond over the greatest city in the world, chatting about where you’d actually find him and Meredith on a night out, the restaurant of their first date, his man crush on Caleb Williams (Chicago lovers, this one’s for you), and where he’d sneak off during their separation because he couldn’t cook. Andy Cohen, if you’re reading this, we need a Real Housewives of Chicago… and Seth shares whether he and Meredith would actually pack their bags. And just when you think you’ve soaked up all the wisdom, Seth drops his skincare routine (thanks to Meredith and all her PR packages), and we say out loud what we want for ourselves in the next five years. This conversation is a reset, a pep talk, and a hang all in one! This is a public episode.
