Hopefully it was not the first time you had a UTI... or the first time a partner sprinted to the bathroom right after sex. Christina talks about the importance of taking care of our bodies, because UTIs are awful… and there's a huge stigma about them so nobody talks or knows anything about them! She also tells the story of how a UTI caused her to pee her pants as a grown-ass adult… and explains why it's actually romantic when your partner pees after sex.

She shares her history with alcohol — from innocently sneaking some fancy Italian amaretto with her friend in high school, how it eventually became a problem, and why she finally decided to try sobriety. Christina was v brave and recorded this episode despite having a man cold, so please clap for her.

She talks about how her friends, therapy, and umm getting in touch with herself have helped her feel better. She also pitches a romantic comedy, in which her character meets a cute engagement ring engraver. If anyone from Hallmark is reading this, have your people call our people. Speaking of rings, Christina bought a mood ring... but didn't take the colour key so she doesn't know how she's feeling.

Download the DiveThru App: https://go.onelink.me/5wa8/sobcastthepodcast The other day, Christina was feeling flirty and adventurous so she dialled up the internet and searched for something pretty scandalous: “how to date” Whether it's because you recently got out of a long-term relationship or the pandemic, getting back into dating can be scary as hell. Even after reading the Wiki-How, Christina has some questions: What does it mean to be “talking to” someone? Do people still make out in cars? Are you supposed to send a thank-you text afterwards? Christina also talks about excessive sweating and sharing emotional trauma on the third date because that's the sex date...

Or maybe just, y'know, cleaned their grain properly before eating it… Also: why the Salem Witch Trials were basically the worst MLM scheme ever, daydreaming about being bedridden, and what the actual heck is a witch cake?!?!

And as someone who has been a ✨content creator✨ on the internet, Christina knows what it's like to live and die by likes, views, and the comment section. In this episode, she shares some mental health-saving boundaries she's found out about the hard way. Christina also talks about meeting her AOL boyfriend IRL, her obsession with Bo Burnham: Inside, why she doesn't have an OnlyFans page, and getting an inflated ego popped by a case of mistaken identity.

In this episode, Christina does a tarot reading for you — yes, you! She also talks about her longtime interest in tarot, the ways it helps her mental health, and how she's still terrible at shuffling cards.

It's not uncommon to plan weddings and pick baby names from a younger age, even if we're not engaged or pregnant. But what does that say about the way we plan for the future? In this episode (that probably should have been a therapy session tbh), Christina also shares how Sex and the City could be used to find the root causes of world issues, and complains about “kids these days” -- so she's actually a senior citizen now ICYMI.

Whether it was being out in public, feeling lonely after her breakup, or eating a lot of cheese, Christina was depressed as heck. In this episode, she works through the differences between depression and regular old sadness. She also talks about getting annoyed at 1 a.m. by the TikTok person who tells you that you've been watching for a long time, worrying about waking up her neighbours with her tears, and offers makeup tips for living your best crying life. OH and Christina smells one of her socks to judge whether or not she's a real adult (yeah, it won't make any more sense once you listen)...

“I'm fine, it's just allergies.” If you've ever said that to a coworker to cover for the fact you were definitely just crying in the bathroom, this episode of Sobcast is for you!

The two discuss crying at work hacks, like finding unused conference rooms, and why businesses should bring back cubicles.

Where were you on September 11, 2001? If you're older than 25, odds are you know the answer. Twenty years from now, you might think back to March 2020 in a similar way. In this episode of Sobcast, Christina is joined by an actual psychiatrist, Dr. Raghu Appasani, to discuss collective trauma. Whether it's a terrorist attack or *gestures vaguely at the state of the world* - how do we move forward after a collectively traumatic event?

On this episode of Shark Tank--sorry, wait, no--this episode of Sobcast, Christina has an incredible business idea for your consideration: the Single Shower (patent pending). No, it's not a single-capacity shower (we know those already exist!). Instead, the Single Shower (again, patent pending) is a revolutionary idea that transforms the dated concept of bridal and baby showers into a card one can play at any time. Say, hypothetically, you're a young woman who was broken up with unexpectedly and moved to a new city, you could play the Shower Card (trademark pending) to get your friends to help furnish your new apartment and pay your bills. Sharks, Christina is asking for $100,000 for 1% of the Single Shower. Which is definitely not an idea she got from Sex and the City why would you even think that???

After traveling for her brother's wedding, Christina considers what makes a place feel like home. Spoiler alert: it has a lot to do with walking to get coffee. Christina shares an entry from her journal, reads a poem, and brags about buying clothes at a flour mill.

In this episode of Sobcast the Podcast, Christina shares her journey of treating anxiety and depression, from lifting jars in the desert for a muscle test, to finding her perfect cocktail of antidepressants.

Christina also talks self-care, finding joy in the color of her pee, and the horrors of Web MD.

Have you been feeling extra exhausted or down or cranky lately? It might be because of a psychological phenomenon called “The Anniversary Effect,” which (in short) is when the body stores memories of trauma in order to protect you and experiences reactions on anniversaries of the trauma. Last March was definitely traumatic, so your body might be responding to those memories at this very moment. Let's take a closer look at “The Anniversary Effect” and discuss some ways to get through it.

This week, Christina shares her recent encounter with a psychic named Terri, who bestows three very specific tasks that will help boost her mental health. Cut to: Christina in a field smashing a watermelon with a hammer. After years of trying so many self help methods - yoga, herbs, lots of coffee - how do you know what actually works?

TW: food talk, death of a family member, weirdly vivid descriptions of eating a McDonald's cheeseburger In an effort to figure out why she loves Happy Meals and bean & cheese burritos so much, Christina does some research about why certain foods can be so dang comforting. It turns out, that warm fuzzy feeling stems from much more than just the ingredients: we can trace that comfort back to happy memories, connections with family, or the feeling of being cared for as a child. To investigate how we can find comfort in our own grown up kitchens, Christina talks to writer and fashion icon Marie Lodi, who creates recipes to soothe your soul and uterus on her blog, Bloodfeast. They discuss pink kitchen appliances, bread baking fails, and how to take care of your inner child.

Wow, everyone. I am talking to an actual doctor!! Who went to medical school. Unlike me. My guest, Dr. Raghu Appasani, is so much more than a psychologist. He's the founder and CEO of The Minds Foundation, which is an organization dedicated to changing the entire culture of mental health. He's one of the most social people I've ever met (seriously, if you ever run into him at an event, he will become your best friend in under five seconds), and his approach to mental health spans medicine, meditation, and everything in between ... which is a lot! Dr. Raghu was kind enough to let me ask him anything, so we discuss anti-depressants, schizophrenia, isolation, finding joy in the mental health field, and my most serious question: “What does a mentally healthy person even look like?” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Back in April, our temporary home in Santa Fe, NM was invaded by miller moths. They were relentless and kind of dumb. But once I started looking into their life cycles - their pupa toddlerhood, their annual New Mexico invasion, and their eventual migration to Yellow Stone National Park where they get devoured by bears preparing for hibernation - I started feeling jealous of their intuition. Miller moths know exactly where they are supposed to be, what their supposed to be doing, and where their place is in the circle of life. I mean, yes, that circle ends abruptly when a grizzly bear gobbles them and all their loved ones up as a mid-afternoon snack, but like! Isn't that worth a lifetime of knowing exactly what your purpose is? You'll have to let me know. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Christina and fellow Taurus, Stephanie Kent, discuss being terrified of not-scary movies (Snow White! The Mask!) and how their childhood anxieties predicted their adult ones. They also talk about why sleep-away camp sucks, Nicole Kidman, and how crying at school builds character.

Oh wow, can you believe there's an actual second episode? What a bonkers time to be alive. Today, Christina Wolfgram (that's me, I'm typing this) gets into why some sounds soothe us and some sounds make life horrible. She also tells a tale of a sound bath from hell and describes her far less horrid experience with EMDR therapy. Haunted ice cream trucks, a neighbor named Uncle Chris, and what to do with all those memes about using the COVID-19 quarantine as the time to complete your life's work (hint: it has to do with a butt and sticking them up one).
