Linzi works for a box company. Quite possibly the LAST profession I would have thought about when considering the effects of the pandemic. She taught me, however, that box making is not only essential, it is complicated. I was FASCINATED by this, and I think you will be too. We also got into some heavy duty weight loss talk, bringing me back to my roots, which I always appreciate. Please subscribe! Share! Review! Thanks!

The Essential Lighter Side: Behavior Analyst Craig Domanski

It started as a weight loss podcast, which quickly became a mental health podcast, which somehow became a pandemic podcast.  Jay, your host  (anxiety/depression/OCD/childhood trauma/family addiction)  lost 185 lbs after having bariatric surgery.  Guests have ranged from actor Ken Marino to a woman you have never heard of who lost 250 lbs, to a recovering addict, to essential workers during COVID-19. In 2020, the show became daily and ran for 100 episodes in 100 days. The culmination of everything The Lighter Side strove to be, Jay created an oral history of the pandemic, as told through the voices of the people who lived through it. There's something for everyone on the Lighter Side.
