Long-form conversations with a variety friends and strangers. Guests include musicians, writers, chefs, parents, painters, designers, herbalists, therapists, comedians, and actors. Here they candidly discuss how they spend their days. We cover connection, creativity, productivity, well-being, sex, love, body image, transitions, and more. Sometimes things get deep and philosophical and sometimes they are funny and light because life is both.

This is the second episode of our new series: happy thank you more please. The title comes from Josh Radnor's 2010 film, and the series is based on the central theme of the movie: gratitude. Each guest comes with: something they're happy about, something they're grateful for, and something they're craving more of. It's a place to share art, quotes, places, food, and ideas.

And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open." - Please join me in supporting Exalt, an organization that helps NYC kids ages 15-19 who have been involved in the criminal justice system.

inner play, outer work, & being a beginner with Lenéa Sims 🤸♀️
Lenéa Sims is the founder of @innerplay__outerwork. We’ve known each other for years and this conversation covered so much ground and felt so nourishing to me. Whether she's teaching about self-development or systemic racism, her mission is the same: to provide a safe, communal, and fun place to learn and grow. Her work has been featured in Paper, Essence, and on stage at SXSW. We will be collaborating a lot more. As I mention in this episode, I'm a member of her antiracism practice group outer work, and now part of inner play too. I recommend them both so highly.Show Notes:- Lenéa's antiracism group Outer Work- Inner Play and Camp Inner Play Membership- Lenéa's "Frontal Lobe Hold" exercise- Lenéa's video about spiritual privilege- Lenéa's video on manifesting where you live- The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron (Book)- Stephen Cope (Author)- Energy Medicine by Donna Eden (Book)- Lenéa's "How to Practice Growing" program- Email info@letitouttt.com to join the LET IT OUT book club!

anti-racism + the 300th episode!
There wasn’t an episode last week because I was and am listening more than talking. We were muted to amplify voices of BIPOC last week. And I am committed to following, amplifying and supporting Black voices moving forward. This is our 300th episode. Which feels like a big milestone to celebrate, but also an opportunity to reflect and own how I can continue to improve and amplify the voices and work of marginalized people.Mental Health Resources for the Black community:The Loveland Therapy Fund - helps cover therapy costs for Black women and girlsThe Nina Pop Mental Health Recovery Fund and The Tony McDade Mental Health Recovery Fund from the Okra Project - emergency mutual aid fund that raises money to pay for one-time mental health therapy sessions for Black Trans people with licensed Black therapistsBEAM (Black Emotional and Mental Health) - Online Black-centered support and healingFat Women of Color Collective - private online community led by Ivy Felicia created to support fat women of color in healing their relationships with their bodiesShow notes:- A portion of the revenue from this episode will be donated to The Loveland Therapy Fund.
