REAL with Carly Weinstein is a personal growth podcast built around one simple belief: the more honestly we talk about the hard stuff, the less alone we feel. Since day one, REAL has been a space for the conversations most people are having in their heads but not out loud.
INTRODUCINGThe Experts Series
Why Nothing Ever Feels Good Enough
With Aliza Shapiro
You hit the goal. You check the box. You get the thing you've been working toward—and somehow, instead of feeling satisfied, you're already focused on what's next.
If you've ever struggled to enjoy your accomplishments, felt guilty when you rest, or constantly wondered why you still don't feel "there" yet, this episode is for you.
The Anxiety Episode Everyone Needs Right Now
With Kati Morton
In this episode, I sit down with licensed therapist Kati Morton to talk about the modern anxiety epidemic — the kind that shows up as constant overthinking, people pleasing, racing thoughts, social anxiety, panic attacks, avoidance, doomscrolling, and feeling mentally “on” 24/7.
The Trauma You Didn't Know You Had
With Ada Ding
Trauma isn't just the big, obvious stuff. It's the subtle, everyday experiences that quietly shape how you move through the world — and most people don't recognize it in themselves. In this episode, licensed social worker and EMDR therapist Ada Ding breaks down what trauma really means, how it shows up in your body, your relationships, and your nervous system, and what healing can actually look like.

Vienna has practiced therapy for nearly 20 years, founded Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy in NYC, and wrote the National Bestselling book The Origins of You.
Breaking the Loop: OCD & Relationship OCD
With Julia Resnick
Most people think OCD is about being clean or organized. It's not. OCD is one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed mental health conditions — and it shows up in ways most people would never recognize. In this episode, I sit down with licensed clinical social worker Julia Resnick to break down what OCD actually is, how it overlaps with anxiety, depression, and perfectionism, and why so many high achievers struggle with it without ever knowing.
Confidence In The Age Of GLP-1s
With Dr. Rachel Goldman
GLP-1s have changed the conversation around food, bodies, and health — and it's complicated. In this episode, Dr. Rachel Goldman — a licensed clinical psychologist — helps us navigate the noise, understand what these medications actually do, and stay grounded in who we are no matter where we land on the topic.
The Reason You’re Still Struggling With Food & Body Image
With Lauren Larkin
If you've ever felt like your relationship with food is complicated in ways that are hard to explain, this episode is for you. Lauren Larkin is a licensed therapist who not only specializes in eating disorders — she's lived it herself.
Why You Look Fine But Feel Empty
With Dr. Judith Joseph
In this episode, we're sitting down with one of the leading voices in psychiatry to talk about something so many of us experience but can't quite name: high-functioning depression. You show up to work, you smile, you get things done — but underneath, something feels deeply off.
