Why You Feel the Need to Keep Everyone Happy
What if the life you thought you'd have by 30 doesn't look anything like the life you're actually living? In this episode of Quiet The Clock, Beth sits down with psychologist Dr. Laura Bersenbrugge for an honest and deeply relatable conversation about the pressure so many of us carry through our 20s and 30s. The career, the relationship, marriage, kids, financial stability. There can be an invisible timeline in our heads telling us where we're supposed to be by a certain age. And when real life doesn't follow that timeline, it's easy to wonder, "Am I falling behind?" Laura explains why these expectations can have such a powerful impact on our mental health and how comparison, negative core beliefs, people pleasing, and the fear of making the "wrong" choice can keep us stuck. Beth and Laura talk about what happens when the life you imagined doesn't match the life you're actually living. They explore how societal expectations can influence decisions around relationships, career, marriage, and children, and how fertility timelines can add another layer of pressure to an already complicated stage of life. But this conversation isn't about figuring out the perfect plan. It's about learning how to trust yourself when there is no clear roadmap. Laura shares practical ways to become more self-aware, challenge the negative beliefs you've developed about yourself, recognize when you're making choices based on fear or expectations, and begin separating what you genuinely want from what you've been told you should want. She also opens up about her own journey to becoming a psychologist, adding a deeply personal perspective to a conversation that will resonate with anyone who has ever questioned whether they are where they are "supposed" to be. If you've ever looked around and felt like everyone else is moving forward while you're standing still, this episode is for you. If you're struggling with comparison, questioning your choices, worried about your timeline, or trying to make peace with a life that looks different from the one you imagined, keep watching until the very end. Because sometimes the answer isn't to work harder to catch up. Sometimes it's realizing there was never anything to catch up to in the first place.

Should You Freeze Your Eggs? The Truth About Fertility, Anxiety & Future Motherhood
What happens when you're successful, independent, and still feel like your biological clock is quietly ticking in the background? Beth sits down with Ariana White, a publicist at Atlantic Records, for an honest conversation about fertility, egg freezing, anxiety, and the complicated journey toward motherhood. Ari opens up about why she chose to freeze her eggs as an empowering insurance policy, how societal pressure shaped her decisions, and how having generous fertility benefits through work gave her an opportunity many women don't have. But this conversation goes far beyond egg freezing. Ari shares what it's like to navigate friendships when everyone seems to be moving through life at a different pace, why therapy became such an important part of her journey, and how she's built a support system that allows her to feel less alone in the uncertainty. Together, Beth and Ari unpack the pressure women face to have a perfectly timed life and challenge the idea that there is one "right" path to motherhood. ✨ UPDATE: Since this episode was recorded, Ari's story has continued to unfold. She is now a wife and a mom, making this conversation even more meaningful in hindsight. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that there is no single timeline for love, marriage, fertility, or motherhood, and that the path forward can look very different from what we once imagined. If you've ever wondered whether you're behind, whether you should freeze your eggs, or what your future family might look like, this episode is for you. Come for the fertility conversation, stay for the reminder that you get to build a life that actually fits you.

You're Not Behind in Your 30s: Stop Letting Society Decide Your Timeline
What if your 30s aren't supposed to look the way you thought they would? At 34, Kayla Kleinman found herself confronting the gap between the life she imagined she'd have by this point and the life she was actually living. As the creator behind a huge Instagram community focused on the conversations no one seems to be having about your 30s, Kayla has built a following by saying out loud what so many people are quietly thinking. In this candid conversation, Kayla sits down with therapist Beth Gulotta to unpack the pressure women face in their 30s around dating, marriage, career, fertility, relationships, family planning, and the feeling that you're somehow running out of time. But what happens when the timeline you're chasing isn't actually your timeline? Beth and Kayla explore why so many women make major life decisions based on what they think they should want instead of what they genuinely want. They talk about the pressure to find a partner, have children, advance your career, and have your entire life figured out by a certain age, and what it takes to step outside those expectations. They also get into the complicated relationship between biological timelines and personal choices, and how fear about the future can cause us to make decisions that don't actually align with the life we want. If you're in your 30s and wondering, "Am I behind?" "Should I be further along?" or "What if my life doesn't look the way I thought it would?", this conversation is for you. Your 30s aren't a deadline. They're a decade of figuring out what actually belongs to you. Subscribe to Quiet The Clock for honest conversations about dating, fertility, relationships, life timelines, and the pressure to have it all figured out. #Your30s #DatingInYour30s #LifeInYour30s #WomenInTheir30s #Fertility #Dating #Relationships #QuietTheClock GUEST: Kayla Kleinman is a New York City-based lifestyle creator, writer, and marketing professional who founded Kayla in the City in 2011, a lifestyle platform centered on authenticity, self-discovery, and navigating life as a millennial woman.

Why More Women Are Freezing Their Eggs
Why are women really freezing their eggs? The answer may surprise you. For years, we've been told that women delay motherhood because they're focused on building their careers. But what if that's not the real story? In this eye-opening conversation, Beth sits down with Yale professor and author Marcia C. Inhorn to uncover what she learned after interviewing more than 150 women who chose to freeze their eggs. Her groundbreaking research reveals a very different reality: the biggest reason women are preserving their fertility isn't career ambition... It's the struggle to find a compatible partner. Together, Beth and Marcia explore the emotional, financial, and deeply personal side of egg freezing, including what many fertility clinics still aren't talking about. They discuss the lack of fertility education, the loneliness many women experience throughout the process, the pressure of the biological clock, and why sharing these stories matters more than ever. Beth also opens up about her own fertility journey, creating an honest conversation that will resonate with anyone navigating dating, fertility, IVF, or questions about becoming a parent. Whether you're considering egg freezing, trying to conceive, or simply wondering why more women are having children later in life, this episode offers research-backed insights that challenge some of the biggest myths about modern motherhood. You'll hear why so many women feel forced to make impossible decisions, what the fertility industry gets right and wrong, and how honest conversations like this can help women feel more informed, empowered, and less alone. If this conversation resonates with you, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to help more people find honest conversations about fertility, dating, and modern motherhood. #EggFreezing #Fertility #IVF #Dating #Motherhood #BiologicalClock #WomensHealth #FertilityAwareness #TryingToConceive #QuietTheClock Connect with Marcia Inhorn: https://anthropology.yale.edu/people/ https://marciainhorn.com/ Marcia C.

Why More Women Are Choosing Not to Have Kids (And Why That Matters)
For generations, women have been told that motherhood is the natural destination. But what happens when someone consciously chooses a different path? In this thought-provoking episode, Beth sits down with therapist and mental health advocate Joanna Townsend to explore the powerful ideas behind Ruby Warrington's book Women Without Kids: The Revolutionary Rise of an Unsung Sisterhood. Joanna, who identifies as an "affirmative no" on the motherhood spectrum, shares the deeply personal journey that led her to choose a life without children and why that decision has brought her peace, purpose, and fulfillment. Together, Beth and Joanna unpack the invisible pressures women face, the assumptions society still makes about fulfillment and identity, and why conversations about being childfree are more important than ever. They also discuss Joanna's unique book club, which brought together women from every point on the motherhood spectrum, creating honest, compassionate conversations that challenged long-held beliefs and reminded everyone that there is no single "right" way to build a meaningful life. Whether you're a parent, hoping to become one, childfree by choice, childless not by choice, or simply questioning the timeline you've always been told to follow, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to live a life that is authentically your own. This episode may challenge what you've always believed about motherhood, fulfillment, and the many ways a life can be beautifully complete. FOLLOW OUR GUEST: Joanna Townsend is a therapist, mental health advocate, and intersectional feminist dedicated to helping young adults and adults build more compassionate relationships with themselves. Drawing from her lived experience as a mixed Latina woman, Joanna brings a warm, inclusive, and culturally informed perspective to her work, creating a space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. She specializes in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, self-worth, and life transitions. Joanna's therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and the belief that healing begins when we let go of shame, challenge limiting beliefs, and learn to embrace our emotions with self-compassion. Using an integrative, client-centered approach, Joanna helps people gain deeper insight into their thoughts, experiences, and emotions while empowering them to move forward with greater confidence and authenticity. She is passionate about fostering conversations that honor diverse life paths, including the many ways people find purpose, connection, and fulfillment beyond traditional expectations.

When IVF Doesn't Work: The Pain of Letting Go of the Future You Imagined
What happens when the life you envisioned doesn't unfold the way you planned? In this powerful episode, Beth sits down with screenwriter, director, comedian, and creator Dahéli Hall for an honest conversation about infertility, loss, identity, and the courage to keep moving forward when the "happy ending" you've been promised never arrives. After years of trying to conceive and undergoing multiple rounds of IVF, Dahéli found herself confronting not only the heartbreak of infertility but also the isolation, grief, and societal expectations that often accompany it. Rather than allowing that pain to define her, she transformed it into something meaningful, creating a one-woman show that gave voice to an experience many people endure in silence. Together, Beth and Dahéli explore the emotional realities of fertility struggles, the pressure women face to follow prescribed life milestones, the complexities of friendships during seasons of loss, and what it means to honor grief without letting it consume you. Dahéli shares how writing, performance, and storytelling became a path toward healing, helping her turn one of the most difficult chapters of her life into art that resonates with others navigating their own challenges. This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn't about avoiding pain. It's about finding a way to carry it, learn from it, and sometimes transform it into something that can help others feel less alone. Whether you're facing infertility, grieving a different version of your future, or navigating a season of disappointment, this episode offers a compassionate look at how we can move forward without diminishing what we've lost. FOLLOW OUR GUEST: Daheli Hall (pronounced da-hay-lee) is a versatile performer, writer, and director based in Los Angeles. Known for her work on Netflix's Dear White People and Fox's MADtv, she's currently touring with her award-winning comedy show SPADURA, an autobiographical love story that explores Dahéli's journey through fertility challenges with humor and vulnerability. With credits spanning television, film, and video games, Dahéli is a graduate of NYU Tisch and USC's Stark Producing Program. She is dedicated to promoting diversity and professional development in the entertainment industry and is a member of SAG-AFTRA and the WGA unions.

The Truth About Dating That Women Need to Hear
Why does someone text you every day, make plans, show up consistently... and still avoid commitment? In this thought-provoking conversation, Beth sits down with Ben Hart to unpack one of the biggest frustrations in modern dating: why effort doesn't always equal intention. Together, they explore the hidden forces shaping today's relationships, from fear of rejection and attachment wounds to the influence of social media, dating apps, and a culture that constantly tells us there might be someone "better" just one swipe away.

How One Male Founder Is Helping Transform the Fertility Space
What happens when a man steps into the fertility conversation with honesty, vulnerability, and a mission to change the experience for everyone? In this powerful episode, Beth Gulotta sits down with Jake Kent, co-founder of Dandi, for a conversation that goes far beyond fertility treatment. Together, they unpack the silent pressures men carry around masculinity, emotions, relationships, and fertility struggles — and why so many people feel forced to suffer quietly behind carefully curated lives. Jake opens up about his personal journey into the fertility space, the emotional realities men often avoid talking about, and the deeper self-work that can emerge when life doesn't follow the timeline you expected. Beth and Jake also dive into the inspiration behind Dandi and how the company is working to create a more human, supported, and emotionally connected fertility experience for individuals and couples navigating treatment. This episode is an honest conversation about identity, vulnerability, modern relationships, and learning how to stop measuring your life against society's invisible checklist. Expect meaningful insights, emotional moments, and a refreshing perspective on what it really means to show up authentically in today's world.

The Hidden Emotional Toll of IVF and Egg Freezing | National Infertility Awareness Week
Infertility, egg freezing, and IVF can be as emotionally complex as they are medically complex. In honor of National Infertility Awareness Week, we are re-sharing this powerful conversation about the mental health side of fertility treatments. Beth sits down with fertility specialist Dr. Anate Brauer, MD, Board Certified OBGYN, to talk about what women are rarely prepared for when navigating fertility decisions. From egg freezing and IVF to the emotional rollercoaster of hope, anger, grief, and empowerment, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the real experience many women face. Dr. Brauer explains the key differences between egg freezing vs. embryo freezing, common misconceptions about fertility timelines, and what he wishes more patients understood before starting treatment. They also explore why mental health support, therapy, and compassionate care are essential parts of the fertility journey. Whether you are considering egg freezing, going through IVF, or simply feeling the pressure of the biological clock, this episode offers reassurance that there is no single timeline for building a family. During National Infertility Awareness Week, we're amplifying conversations like this one to remind you: you are not alone, and your path to family can take many forms. ABOUT OUR GUEST: Guest: Dr. Anate Brauer, MD Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dranatebrauer/ Chick Mission - www.thechickmission.org Website - www.rmany.com Dr. Brauer is a member of the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology, earned her medical degree from George Washington University School of Medicine and completed her OB/GYN residency at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell, followed by a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Weill Cornell. Formerly an Assistant Clinical Professor at NYU, she specializes in IVF, egg freezing, ovulation induction, pre-implantation genetic testing, and third-party reproduction. Dr. Brauer combines the latest clinical data and technology with a supportive approach to minimize patient stress and optimize outcomes.

If you are in the middle of your fertility journey, this episode is for you.

A Therapist Answers Your Biggest Dating & Relationship Questions
In this episode of Quiet the Clock, Beth grabs the mic and answers real questions straight from the audience, from both men and women who are trying to make sense of dating, relationships, and all the pressure that seems to come with them. No scripts. No sugarcoating. Just honest, therapist-level insight into the questions people are actually asking but rarely say out loud. From When do I bring up what I really want? to How do I stop overthinking every interaction? Beth breaks down what healthy communication, vulnerability, and emotional maturity really look like in modern dating. The conversation weaves through everything from misaligned timelines and fertility worries to the quiet chaos social media creates when it comes to comparison and expectations. Along the way, Beth reminds us that clarity is not too much, curiosity is powerful, and you're not "behind" just because your path looks different. Think of this episode as part group chat, part therapy session, and part deep exhale. You'll walk away with practical takeaways, mindset shifts, and a little more confidence to ask the questions that actually matter. We wrap things up with a few favorite wellness recommendations to help keep your nervous system intact while dating in the wild.

Rachel Liverman of Glowbar: Living Authentically at 40, Ditching Timelines, and Owning Your Story
What happens when you stop living life on everyone else's timeline and start honoring your own? In this episode of Quiet the Clock, Beth sits down with Rachel Liverman, founder of Glowbar, for a candid, deeply refreshing conversation about choosing authenticity over expectation. From growing up in a same-sex parent household to building a successful beauty brand, Rachel's story challenges nearly every "should" we're handed about marriage, fertility, aging, and success. Rachel opens up about therapy, divorce, egg freezing, entrepreneurship, and the emotional weight of doing life differently. With honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, she shares how mental health became a lifelong anchor and why optimism, self-compassion, and self-trust matter more than hitting milestones on time. If you've ever felt behind, off-track, or quietly questioning the timeline you were taught to follow, this conversation will feel like permission to breathe. No hustle worship. No comparison spiral. Just a powerful reminder that there is no single right way to build a meaningful life. Hit play if you're ready to quiet the noise, trust your timing, and glow on your own terms FOLLOW OUR GUEST: Rachel Liverman is the founder and CEO of Glowbar, the fastest-growing skincare brand transforming the way people think about facials. With a bold vision and deep industry roots, Rachel has redefined the category, building a brand that's made expert-led, results-driven skincare a non-negotiable part of any wellness routine. A third-generation esthetician, Rachel grew up steeped in the world of skincare. Her grandmother, Catherine Hinds, was a pioneer in the field — launching a chain of salons in the 1960s, creating her own product line, and founding the first accredited esthetics school in the U.S. in 1979. This legacy didn't just influence Rachel, it lit the fire that would become Glowbar. Since launching in 2019, Rachel has shaped Glowbar into a cult-followed powerhouse with 20+ studios, a growing product line, and two consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000 list. Under her leadership, the brand has scaled a new category called wellcare: the convergence of modern healthcare and wellness rituals that center on services that are convenient and consistent. Rachel drives the company's brand, experience, product strategy, and expansion, bringing both rigor and soul to every decision. Prior to founding Glowbar, she spent over a decade in the beauty industry, building expertise across marketing, education, and operations. In 2023, she led the company through a $10M Series A raise to accelerate growth and scale its impact. Her mission is clear: to redefine clinical-grade skincare as a form of everyday healthcare and to help people feel confident in their skin. Social media pages: - Instagram @rachelista @glowbar - LinkedIn rachelliverman - TikTok @getglowbar Websites: - https://glowbar.com - https://linkin.bio/rachelista/ - https://shopmy.us/rachelista We Also Talk About: Living life on one's own timeline and embracing non-traditional paths.

Societal pressures on women regarding age, fertility, and family planning. Personal experiences with marriage, divorce, and the influence of external expectations. The emotional and physical challenges of egg freezing and fertility decisions. The role of mindset and manifestation practices in navigating life's challenges. The complexities of vulnerability and control in personal relationships. The significance of self-compassion and gratitude in personal growth.

Why You Keep Repeating the Same Dating Patterns (And How to Finally Break Them)
What if the detours, heartbreaks, and awkward in-between years were never delays, but preparation? Beth pulls back the curtain on her real journey through dating, relationships, and the uncomfortable season of being single when everyone else seems to be "moving ahead." She opens up about repeating old patterns, the lessons heartbreak forced her to face, and the inner work that finally changed how she chose partners and herself. Rather than chasing milestones or rushing love, Beth shares how slowing down, embracing singlehood, and doing honest self-reflection ultimately led her to a healthier, more aligned relationship later in life. This episode is for anyone who's tired of feeling behind, questioning their choices, or wondering if they missed their window. Beth challenges societal timelines around love and success and invites you to trust your own pace. If you've ever felt pressure to have it all figured out by a certain age, this conversation will help you breathe, rethink the narrative, and remember that fulfillment doesn't follow a clock. Watch if you're navigating dating fatigue, redefining your timeline, or learning to choose yourself before choosing a partner. We Also Talk About: Personal journey through dating and relationships Late start in dating and societal pressures Reflection on long-term relationships and their challenges Impact of addiction in a partner on relationships Importance of self-awareness and understanding attachment styles Embracing single life and personal growth Patterns of choosing emotionally unavailable partners The significance of patience and self-reflection in finding love Recognition of the value of past experiences in shaping current relationships Encouragement to live authentically and on one's own timeline Resources Subscribe on YouTube Subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscribe on Spotify Follow on Instagram Follow on TikTok Follow on Pinterest Therapy Support Website Visit the QTC Website for our current list of Affiliates: https://quiettheclock.com/ Affiliate Links: Osea - Skincare By The Sea - Use code QTCPOD10 to receive a one time use 10% off your order at oseamalibu.com Mowellens - Organic.

Why Adult Friendships Change and How to Cope When They Do
Friendships don't usually end with a bang. They fade. They shift. They quietly stop fitting the life you're living now. In this episode of Quiet The Clock, Beth goes deep into the unspoken reality of adult friendships. The kind no one warns you about. The slow drifting. The sudden jealousy when someone else's life moves faster. The grief that shows up when a friendship doesn't survive a new season. Beth shares personal stories you haven't heard before and reintroduces her powerful "Friendship Pyramid," a simple but eye-opening tool to help you understand who truly belongs in your inner circle and who may be meant for a different tier or a different chapter altogether. This conversation is honest, tender, and grounding. It's about learning when to fight for a friendship, when to release it without guilt, and how to make room for new connections without betraying your past. If you've ever felt confused, lonely, or quietly heartbroken about a friendship that changed, this episode will make you feel deeply seen. Because growing up also means grieving friendships and choosing them with intention. We Also Talk About: The evolving nature of friendships as people age and experience life changes. The emotional complexities of friendship breakups and ruptures. Personal experiences of feeling disconnected from friends due to differing life stages. The importance of honest communication in addressing feelings like jealousy and envy in friendships. Introduction of the "friendship pyramid" exercise to categorize friendships based on closeness and support. Strategies for making new friends in adulthood, including joining social groups and activities. The significance of grieving the loss of friendships and appreciating their past value. The societal tendency to prioritize romantic relationships over friendships. The need for regular self-assessment of friendships to ensure they meet current needs. Encouragement to invest time and effort into friendships, recognizing their importance in overall well-being.

After The Bachelor: Julie LaPlaca on Fertility, Fear, and Starting Over
What happens when you freeze your eggs at 39, leave a high-pressure TV career, and finally stop forcing life to follow a script? In this episode of Quiet the Clock, Beth sits down with Julie LaPlaca, who went from producing The Bachelor to becoming a hypnotherapist, to explore fertility, fear, and the art of trusting yourself when society's timeline grows louder. Julie opens up about her decision to freeze her eggs at 39, the emotional weight of age and societal expectations, and what it really felt like to step away from a career that looked "successful" on paper but no longer fit. She shares how hypnotherapy, spirituality, and nervous system work helped her move through uncertainty, reconnect with her intuition, and soften into life instead of white-knuckling it. We also dive into Julie's upcoming book, The Love Producer, where she explores love, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to stop performing and start living authentically. If you're navigating fertility decisions, questioning your career path, or feeling behind in any area of life, this episode is a reminder that there is no expiration date on becoming yourself. ABOUT OUR GUEST: Julie LaPlaca is a seasoned television producer with over two decades of experience working in the entertainment industry. Most notably, she spent years crafting some of reality TV's most iconic love stories as a supervising producer on The Bachelor franchise. She is also an author, life coach, hypnotherapist, and the founder of The Love Producer, a personal development brand devoted to helping others produce the love they desire in their lives. Julie writes about her transition from producing happily-ever-afters for others, to embarking on her own journey for love in her upcoming memoir, The Love Producer, releasing in July 2026. She is now dedicated to flipping the script—guiding others (and herself) on the greatest journey of all: finding the love within.

IVF Is a Rollercoaster No One Prepares You For
Beth sits down with Amanda for a raw, honest conversation that goes far beyond the clinical side of fertility treatment. Amanda opens up about the emotional and physical toll of IVF, the unique heartbreak of unexplained infertility, and the quiet grief that follows miscarriage. This is the part of the journey most people carry alone. Together, they unpack why so many people feel unprepared for infertility, how little education and support actually exists, and why silence can make an already isolating experience feel unbearable. The conversation moves into the power of community, shared language, and knowing you are not broken or failing. Amanda also walks through her personal decision-making around genetic testing and how she transformed her experience into advocacy through her Instagram, Made with Love and IVF. Her story is equal parts grounding, validating, and hopeful. If you have ever wondered why this topic feels so heavy, why no one seems to talk about it until you are living it, or if you need a reminder that you are not alone, this episode is for you. FOLLOW OUR GUEST: Amanda Samojedny Amanda is a mom of two living children who knows firsthand that the journey to motherhood isn't always straightforward. While struggling with infertility, undergoing fertility treatments, and experiencing pregnancy loss, she turned to the infertility community on Instagram—initially sharing anonymously, trying to find women who understood.

Today, she shares her story openly and honestly, shedding light on how infertility impacts every stage of the journey—from trying to conceive and fertility treatments, to loss, pregnancy, and postpartum—so others don't feel alone.
