Unfiltered Growth: Mental Health & Owning Your Story with Ricki Friedman

In this powerful and honest conversation, Gen Z Co-host Cassandra sits down with Ricki Friedman content creator, motivational speaker, podcaster, and mental health advocate for a deep dive into what it really means to grow, change, and show up for yourself online and off. Ricki opens up about her journey with ADHD, addiction recovery, and the real work of self-discovery that changed her life. From shifting her identity online to building a supportive digital community to speaking, Ricki shares how sharing herself and story to the world has had a major effect on her healing journey. What does it take to tune into what you actually need? Mental health and reinvention go hand in hand, and in this discussion, Stall Talk gets real about why the most powerful thing you can do is get honest with yourself. This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t linear, your story matters and yes, it’s okay to evolve in front of the public eye - you might not know who may need to hear it too.

Breaking Patterns: Healing Past Wounds to Step into the New w/ Nicky Clinch

On this special episode of Stall Talk, the cast gets real stepping into vulnerability. Ivanna welcomes in her own coach, Nicky Clinch BodyMind Maturation Coach and a specialist in human behavior, ontology, childhood trauma, and emotional development. Together, they dive into the heart of what so many of us carry but rarely speak about: the patterns we unknowingly repeat, the wounds we haven't yet healed, and the shame and blame that keep us stuck. Nicky helps unpack how past relationships especially unhealed ones shape the connections we try to create today, and how true transformation begins when we choose to surrender. But what does that mean? Jenilee, Cassandra and Ivanna unpack this in the recap and how this affects their own lives. Tune in to this conversation to find out and understand what we all crave most: authentic connection.

Learning Curves: Rethinking How We Learn w/ Loni Lebanoff

On this week’s episode of Stall Talk, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we actually learn—and what it means when we don’t fit into the “traditional” mold. From college pressure to real-life skills, we’re asking: Are we prepared? Who do we go to when we need advice? And do we all learn the same way? Guest host Skylar Sorkin sits down with Loni Lebanoff, CEO and Founder of Cognitutor—a nonprofit dedicated to supporting students of all ages and learning styles. Loni shares her powerful journey of launching the organization at just 23 years old, her mission to make education accessible and empowering, and why embracing learning differences is the key to success—not a setback. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they needed to learn differently—and needed someone to believe in them.
