Descripción del Episodio

In today’s episode, I welcome back KC Davis, therapist, and bestselling author.

 

The episode before this featured her relatable, hilarious, and breakthrough ideas about everything from laundry to loading a dishwasher and giving yourself the freaking break that you deserve.

 

That episode was so insanely popular, we moved this up in the queue. 

 

The verdict is in.

 

You love KC Davis. So today she's answering your deeply personal and surprising questions. 

 

In just 50 minutes, KC’s genius hacks and smart approach to everyday tasks will not only help you manage your to-do list, but give you back the time to rest without feeling guilty. 

 

She also reveals the single most helpful item you can bring to someone when they are going through a very difficult time.

 

You ask the questions and she's giving you the step-by-step plan. She covers so much it’s hard to summarize, but here is my best attempt:

 

  • The shocking truth about “getting everything done”
  • Why you need to stop saying you’re fine - you’re BETTER than fine
  • How to divide chores at home (yes, there is a right way!)
  • Her “Fair Rest” rule for couples
  • 7 genius tips to build momentum (stop waiting for motivation)
  • The ONE thing to do for a family or friend who is struggling with grief or depression (don’t cook them a meal)
  • Her unique take on self-compassion that will leave you in action
  • How to maximize your free time so you can finally start that project (you know, that one you keep thinking about) or collapse on the couch and do nothing

 

Steal her scripts and her hacks. 

 

You asked for more time with KC Davis, and we delivered. 

 

Thanks for sharing this with all your friends and family that need it. 

 

Xo, Mel

To Catch a Thief: North Korea On Our Payroll

To Catch a Thief: North Korea On Our Payroll

By shows

American companies are being infiltrated—not by hackers breaking in, but by workers.  Thousands of North Korean operatives are applying to jobs across the U.S.—and getting them. They are embedding themselves at Fortune 500 companies. Government agencies. Critical infrastructure. Even the firms tasked with stopping this threat. To Catch a Thief: North Korea On Our Payroll is a first-of-its-kind audio documentary exposing this global labor pipeline—one that is quietly funneling hundreds of millions of dollars a year back to the regime, and its nuclear weapons program.  Host Nicole Perlroth, bestselling author and former lead cybersecurity and digital espionage reporter for The New York Times, takes listeners inside this hidden network—from a rare, inside look at a North Korean IT worker on the job, to interviews with defectors who escaped it, to knocking on the doors of Americans hosting “laptop farms” on North Korea's behalf. Along the way, the series reveals how this playbook is creating a hiring freeze for American workers, in a challenging job market. And how it has metastasized—adopted by cybercriminal groups and fraud networks around the world—blurring the line between nation-state espionage and organized crime. To Catch a Thief is co-produced by Nicole Perlroth and Rubrik in partnership with Pod People.  To Catch a Thief was written and produced by Nicole Perlroth, along with Khrista Rypl, T. J. Raphael, Rebecca Chaisson and Sam Gebauer. Additional thanks to Allie Pinel, Fendall Fulton, Krissy Clark, Cai Lee, Eunice Park and Aimee Machado. Editing and Sound Design by Erica Huang. Art direction and design by Ben Long, Gareth Strange and Sarah Burley at the John & Jane Agency, and support from John Leestma.
