Life is hard. Sh*t happens. And you? You have to deal with it. Not every problem can be completely solved, but a lot of them can be—or at least be made a lot less bad—if you can approach them rationally and logically. As luck would have it, this is Sarah Knight’s specialty! This week’s episode is focused on what happens after you calm the f*ck down (per episodes 10, 11, and 23) and how to roll up your sleeves and successfully deal with whatever total sh*tstorm has befallen you.

So many listeners loved the first “F*ck Anxiety!” episode in week 10 that it seemed like a good idea to share EVEN MORE tips and strategies for understanding, managing, and mitigating this common problem. This time, Sarah Knight walks you through her favorite tool for cutting through the noise in your head to identify the source of your anxiety, also known as “naming your tarantulas.” (And in case that sounds frightening, don’t worry, there’s also a segment about puppies.) Enjoy, and as...

Returning to the office post-pandemic? Still trying to make working from home work for you? Either way, you need to balance your F*ck Budget to get the most value out of your working life. Chances are, you take on a lot of extra duties for no extra pay, or spend too much time on non-work stuff (like coworker going-away parties and company picnics) that don’t help you get your actual job done. Sarah Knight will show you how to reassess your boundaries and give you easy ways to enforce them...

This week is an entire episode dedicated to relationships—be they with friends, family, or significant others. The pandemic has put a lot of strain on you and your loved ones, in some cases due to distance and in others, due to living on top of one another for over a year with little to no personal space. It’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to reconnect with some folks and get much-needed space from others. And all of it comes down to balancing your F*ck Budget! To help you do...

In honor of graduation season, Sarah has collected a variety of tips and advice for successful “adulting” (a phrase she did not coin but wishes she had). They include building confidence in the workplace, learning how to delegate, finding time for relaxation and creative pursuits, maintaining a nice home—especially if it’s your first one away from home—and how to deal with various curveballs that life throws at you now that you’re an adult and nobody else is dealing with them for you. Enjoy,...

Back by popular demand, it’s another episode devoted to the principles behind Sarah’s book You Do You. This week, she talks about the value of “being weird” and why you should not only accept weirdness in yourself (if that’s your thing) but also accept it in other people, because why not? Nobody is hurting anyone else by being a goofball, and in fact it’s probably making life a little more fun during a time when we could all use a laugh. She gives a pep talk for all the weird weirdos out...

Today Sarah’s taking a break from No F*cks Given to recommend another podcast she thinks you’ll love: Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter. We all have questions about our bodies, how they work, and what we can do to keep them running smoothly. Should we bother with juice cleanses? Is it actually possible to “boost” our immune systems? We’re constantly bombarded with ads, news stories, and social media posts telling us how to optimize our health—but a lot of these sources that pretend to be backed...

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and inspired by listener emails, today’s episode features an important conversation about how our relative levels of privilege affect our access to “wellness”—including self-care and mental health care and of course, the ability to not give a f*ck, depending on where you fall on the spectrum. Sarah approaches these complex and nuanced issues with empathy and humor, probably also making some missteps along the way, but ultimately in hopes of using her own...

Sarah shares her personal story of being a “recovering perfectionist” and talks about why the well-intentioned mantra “Do your best” can be damaging.

It’s hard enough to figure out what you think—why are you wasting so much time, energy, and money worrying about what other people think, especially about YOUR life choices? Sarah Knight explains both WHY and HOW to stop giving a f*ck about other people’s opinions (which you cannot control) and focus on your own wants, needs, and desires (which you totally CAN control). And she shows you how to do it without being an a**hole, because there’s simply no need for that. The No F*cks Given podcast...
