The Dirty 30-Something podcast is where adults (on paper) come clean about being lost. Cohosts and besties since their days as high school theater geeks, Nick and Marissa discuss life at 30-ish, from ambitions to skinny jeans to clinical depression.
Marissa Korbel and Nick Dothée
When life is hard, they say, "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." Well, they lied. Marissa's still not sleeping, and Nick still is sleeping… around. This week, both cohosts are sleeping on the couch.

Sometimes, it's not about being perfect, it's about just showing up. Showing up for exercise, even when you feel fat. Showing up for your job, even when you're teeded. Showing up to podcast, even when you didn't do your homework.

This week, Marissa worries about her baby daughter starting kindergarten, while Nick worries about what he hasn't told Marissa. Yet. It all comes out in typical Dirty 30 style, with laughter and tears and everything in between. The takeaway: everyone has their bag of rocks... but sometimes the rocks are being carried around in a Mercedes.

Happy Fourth of July! Last year, we recorded on Independence Day itself, even though we didn't post a new episode at all. This year, we're posting that repeat. We will return with a new episode next Friday! In the backseat of a car, halfnaked, Nick and Marissa start their Independence Day off with a bang -- Metaphorically, of course. Nick is forced to confront the stuff of nightmares: a 2-hour movement call for Matilda on Broadway. Marissa becomes Ms. Independence at long last -- leaving her teaching job to set sail in the wild world of beauty blogging, cosmetic dermatology, and preventative Botox. Plus, Nick and Marissa tackle student loan debt and the burning question of how many selfies is too many selfies?

Nick and Marissa discuss the advice of a "life enthusiast" specifically geared toward people in their 30's.
