On the “Well…Adjusting” podcast, author, actor, and funny lady Robin Hopkins is joined each episode by people who are struggling with a wide range of issues, from how to manage stress, set some boundaries, find a new apartment, and save a dime or two.  On occasion, she'll invite a “guest expert” to join to add their own insights and advice.  For this episode, the person with the challenge is Robin's wife Mary.  And since she battles with negative – bordering on catastrophic – thinking, Robin decided to invite the founder of The Optimism Institute and host of Blue Sky to join in with his advice. So, “Founder Bill” did just that, and since Mary, Robin, and Stephanie, the show's producer, expressed concerns we know that many listeners share, we thought it a good idea to drop this fun and insightful episode into the Blue Sky feed.  Tune in to hear what everyone had to say - and decide for yourself if Bill was of any help!    Episode Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to “Well…Adjusting” Podcast Bill Burke introduces the collaboration with Well…Adjusting podcast  02:24 Exploring Negative Thinking with Robin and Mary Robin and Mary discuss their struggles with negative thinking and catastrophizing, setting the stage for a deep dive into their fears and concerns.  07:03 The Hot Dog Story and Catastrophic Thinking Robin shares a humorous anecdote about the ‘hot dog story' as a metaphor for moments of catastrophic thinking.  15:08 Fear of the Future and Historical Perspectives The conversation delves into fears about the future, drawing parallels to historical events and contemplating the impact of past experiences on present anxieties.  23:20 Expert Advice on Optimism and Influence Blue Sky host and founder of The Optimism Institute Bill Burke joins the discussion, offering insights on optimism, historical perspectives, and the concept of circles of influence and concern.  31:00 Generational Optimism and Social Influence The discussion explores the concept of generational optimism and the potential for positive change when supporting and empowering the younger generation.  34:02 Navigating Social Media Influence and Personal Responsibility Insights are shared on the influence of social media, the importance of personal responsibility in curating online content consumption, and the potential for positive shifts in mindset.  38:05 Finding Optimism in Small Actions and Community Impact The discussion emphasizes the significance of finding optimism in small actions, community impact, and the power of collective efforts in fostering a more positive outlook.  40:02 Acknowledgments and Call to Action The episode wraps up with acknowledgments, a call to action for listeners to engage with the content further, and a reminder of the importance of seeking professional help when needed. 

Comedian, actress, author, and podcast host, Robin Hopkins, joins us this week to talk about her journey and parenting advice.  Her struggles with her donor choice took her across the country and to other countries, her discomfort with donor conception turned into love and gratitude and her fears and concerns were all resolved. She now parents her two children with the values she holds dear and the lessons she has learned through her journey to be a mom with her wife. Robin is funny and insightful and helps us understand issues like disclosure to donor-conceived children, ways to understand donor-sibling connections, resolving co-parenting concerns, and more. Even if you plan to build your family differently than Robin, you will take away a lot of wisdom from this episode, and be entertained at the same time.  She is a joy!  This podcast helps me share good information at no cost to you.  So, if you like the episode, please give it a thumbs up and press the subscribe button.

Almost all of humanity has baggage that is generational or as a result of societal conditioning. This is how we develop patterns and limiting beliefs that can wreak havoc on our lives if we are not mindful and intentional about changing them. In this conversation Kim and Robin Hopkins have a serious heart to heart about how these patterns show up in their lives and play out in their parenting and what they do to change the outcome so that generational patterns are not carried out in the same way. Robin will definitely make you laugh with her wit and humor but she is also very authentic and real. "There but for the grace of God, go I." About Robin: Robin Hopkins is a published writer, actress, podcast host, and former stand-up comedian. She spent 20-plus years acting as an ersatz Mr. Miyagi to all her younger coworkers. She is renowned for her career, financial, and personal advice; even more, she is known for her hilarity. She's a cross between that bawdy mom you wish you had and that therapist you broke up with because you couldn't afford both Avocado Toast and healing your inner child. She also has some real-life credentials. She's written for the NY Times, Mother Mag, Huff Post, and Medium, and is the author of the award-winning book “If These Ovaries Could Talk: The Things We've Learned About Making an LGBTQ Family,” about which Amy Schumer said, “I f*cking love this book.” That book is an offshoot of a popular podcast Robin co-hosted which garnered a million downloads with notable guests like Rosie O'Donnell, Michelle Buteau, and Judy Gold.

We had so much fun talking to Robin Hopkins (actor, comedian, writer of If These Ovaries Could Talk, podcaster, the list goes on and on). We got real about her experience creating her family and all the extra hoops she and her wife had to jump through. It was very eye-opening, but she's also hilarious, so we had so much fun! She's really good at that. Talking about heavy things in a fun way. Check out her new podcast "Well...Adjusting." A comedic self help chat show where Robin shares lessons from her crappy childhood to help when creditors are calling, relationships are crumbling, and you're stuck in that dead-end job.

Robin Hopkins is in the middle of a big life transition. She’s been a producer for Spotify’s "Amy Schumer Presents: 3 Girls, 1 Keith" podcast since 2016. Now in it’s 4th season, the show features Amy and her hilarious comic friends Rachel Feinstein (whom I adore and met thanks to the Women in Comedy doc I’ve been producing!), Bridget Everett, and Keith Robinson dish about their lives, pop culture, politics, and stand-up comedy. Alas. Her time at Spotify is coming to an end this year. You see, she just did something incredible. With the help of knee pads (aka an investor), she managed to let go of the guard rails and leap towards her dream of focusing on IF THESE OVARIES COULD TALK, a podcast she co-hosts with Jaimie Kelton where two lesbians chat about how to make babies and non-traditional families. An artist at heart, Robin stumbled her way into producing when she realized realized she had the skills to also be meticulously organized, juggle multiple balls while keeping 47 tabs open, and truly, make something out of nothing. Producers are sort of magical, mystical creatures. Some part of you has to believe the impossible is possible to pursue any shade of producing. In this chat, Robin explains the career trajectory of an in house producer, which she equates to the show runner role in traditional network television. And what it means to lead by example by chasing after her dreams. Can't wait to hear what you think of the episode!

Jaimie Kelton was having fertility issues so she turned to the internet for support, but to her surprise, she didn't find any. Instead of curling into a ball, Jaimie decided to create her own platform where lesbians could speak about making babies and the subsequent difficulties of maintaining non-traditional families. When she was introduced to Robin Hopkins, she knew that Robin was the one to help her establish and create a community of lesbians with non-traditional families. And thus If These Ovaries Could Talk was born (well after hundreds of spreadsheets, meetings, contacts, etc.).The intention behind If These Ovaries Could Talk is to always learn and highlight and show the love that's in our community. They have not only achieved that goal, but surpassed it on their funny yet poignant podcast show. Take a peek into the journeys of Jaimie and Robin and their podcast If These Ovaries Could Talk. Follow If These Ovaries Could Talk on Instagram and listen to their podcast here.

We talk to ladies making babies on their own terms including single straight women who chose to go through the artificial insemination process on their own or women that decided that adoption was the right choice for them.  Robin Hopkins of If These Ovaries Could Talk, is our extra special guest this week and gives us some LGBT insight on what it's like to live in a world designed for straight families.
