“Why do we keep needing people like Tony Robbins?” Jane Marie asks this aloud in the new season of The Dream, its third, which debuted earlier this week. Read purely as text, separate from context and tone, one could assume the question to be dismissive, a query designed to serve as a comment on the weakness of other people, the way a militant atheist might question people’s belief in a god. |
But Marie voices the question from a different position, because when we encounter her at the top of the season, she’s become a person at the end of her rope. The past few years have left a brutal mark on her life: She’s lost loved ones; her podcast studio suffered tremendously beneath the weight of the pandemic; she’s split with her creative and romantic partner, Dann Gallucci, who still appears on the show; and she finds herself in a thick depression ruminating on the notion of anhedonia. “I feel like I forgot how to live life,” she s • Jane Marie and Dann Gallucci’s ‘The Dream’ podcast investigates the promises of a booming wellness industryJane Marie isn’t much of a believer in, well, anything.

Sitting across from her, Dann Gallucci — her cofounder at Little Everywhere, her creative collaborator and her boyfriend of more than three years — just chuckled. He seemed familiar with diatribes like this one. Marie’s rants, delivered with a biting tone and in a voice reminiscent of a perpetually over-it teenager, are part of what powered her and Gallucci’s podcast, “The Dream,” to No. 1 on Apple Podcasts charts and 10 million downloads in its first season.
