It’s the very first episode of Happily Distracted! Yay! 

 

Much like it took Leyla two years to get this podcast going, it took her gym-buddy and guest, Joe (Just Joe is Fine from TikTok/YouTube) the same amount of time to earn his certification in addictions counseling and human services. And he’s planning on continuing on to an advanced degree too! But he wasn’t always in such a good spot.

 

Joe shares his story of  heroin and substance abuse and his journey to getting clean. And Leyla shares her own cocaine addiction story and the family intervention that kicked off her road to recovery. They also talk TikTok-shop and share the origin of Joe’s car-video format, the weird DMs he receives and how humor can be used in service to sobriety.

Meet Leyla’s chief advocate, voice of reason and super-powered-lawyer sister, Monya! Get to know her because she’ll be coming around a lot! This playful “Happily Distracted” chat quickly becomes a deep-dive into their shared obsession with reality TV (especially Bravo’s Real Housewives). They joke about how parenting and modern distractions hurt attention spans and replaced Monya’s once-constant fiction reading with easier “in-and-out” TV. 

 

And with several Housewives references as their foundation, they lay out the key rules of a true blue, sisterhood or friendship. Also covered are Leyla’s anti-bullying instincts and school play stardom. We promise - this episode is VERY distracting.

Meet the man behind the content queen: it’s Leyla’s husband, Dan Caton!

With the hesitancy of a very smart husband who doesn’t want to say the wrong thing, Dan talks about what it’s like being married to Leyla’s ADHD brain and all the missing keys and whirlwind topic changes that come with it. They share early dating moments that revealed Leyla’s chaos, including her pandemic-era bottle-collecting obsession that filled her condo, and how Dan learned to adapt (mostly by relocating to another room).

Leyla also tells the story of when Dan proposed and she said yes… just not to the ring. Dan also shares his own Reality tv love, ‘Married to Medicine’, and tells his tale of going from Bravo skeptic to super fan.
