In this special guest episode of 1,000 Waking Minutes, Dr. Wendy Bazilian is joined by Lori Schulweiss and Jenn Giamo, the voices behind the podcast Everybody Talks, for a candid, funny, thoughtful conversation about time, friendship, stress, wellness, aging, work, movement, dogs, joy, and the challenge of being truly present while living modern life.
Together, they explore what it means to spend our waking minutes well, from perfectionism and productivity to family, seasons of life, grief, movement, mindfulness, and the small everyday moments that quietly shape us.
The conversation moves from Central Park cherry blossoms and dogs living fully in the moment… to the pressure to constantly “do,” the realization that time moves quickly, and the growing desire to slow down enough to actually experience life while we’re living it.
This episode feels less like an interview and more like sitting at the table with friends sharing honest reflections about work, life, identity, aging, joy, and what really matters.
Lori Schulweiss is a longtime television producer with Live with Kelly and Mark and co-host of Everybody Talks. Jenn Giamo is a wellness professional, certified trainer, yoga instructor, and co-host of Everybody Talks.
