Mika Altidor and Julie Lokun are handing the mic over to the powerhouse behind Modern Mom Problems, Tara Clark. In this featured episode, Tara sits down with the iconic Dr. Rachel NYC (Dr. Rachel Goldman) to discuss her transformative new book, When Life Happens. www.modernmomprobs.com The conversation dives deep into the "mental load" and how our brains are often wired for survival in a modern world that doesn't have bears, but does have endless "pings" and social comparisons. Dr. Rachel breaks down the psychology of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), making it accessible for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped by negative self-talk. From changing your "system" for body confidence to the power of five-minute micro-habits, this episode is a masterclass in reclaiming your mindset. The Obsession Highlights The "Bear in the Woods" Theory: Why your brain reacts to a box of Legos falling over the same way it reacts to a predator. Changing the System: Tara shares her personal "beach outfit" hack that shifted her from body insecurity to being fully present with her family. CBT for the Real World: How thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are linked, and why you don't need a diagnosis to benefit from these tools. The "Just Do It" Psychology: Why behavioral activation is the key to breaking free from a "stuck" feeling. Micro-Habits: The power of five-minute sprints and why sustainability beats an "all-in" overhaul every time.
