That's So Retrograde

That’s So Retrograde is a wellness-and-pop-culture conversation show with a fast mouth and a soft center. It treats self-improvement less like a finished identity and more like a pile of half-tested tools on the kitchen counter. Stephanie Simbari and Elizabeth Kott bring a duo rhythm that can turn a stray joke into a thesis. Then they circle back. Across the catalog, the show moves between astrology, clean beauty, gut health, numerology, self-care, politics, friendship, burnout, and the strange emotional admin of modern life. A conversation with Tina Anderson turns gut health into a wider discussion of inflammation, absorption, neurotransmitters, and why supplements only make sense inside a larger health picture. A visit with Kat Sadler becomes a candid look at podcasting, money, vulnerability, and the weird intimacy of letting an audience into a home. Dana Jackson’s episode frames toxic-free beauty through entrepreneurship and personal story. Jessica Lanyadoo and Lindsay Scola bring election anxiety into the show’s preferred zone, where civic life and astrology can sit side by side without either one becoming a lecture. Remington Donovan’s numerology conversation gives 2020 a spiritual frame, with compassion, structure, and collective change all pulled into view. The show is rarely tidy. That helps it. Its tangents make the practical parts feel lived rather than prescribed. Its jokes keep the spiritual language from floating too far away from real life. Its wellness interests are broad, sometimes glossy, sometimes earnest, and often filtered through the question of what actually helps a person get through the week. The final episodes also give the series a reflective edge, as the hosts talk openly about pause, fatigue, gratitude, and the oddness of stepping away from something that shaped their lives. The result is a catalog that feels intimate, energetic, and distinctly of its moment. It is part advice circle, part guest salon, part pop-spiritual time capsule.
