LET IT OUT

I've loved Latham for years. She was one of my first ever guests and her saying yes to doing my podcast back in 2013 when I was getting started gave me the confidence to keep going. You'll quickly hear why I adore her. She is present, genuine, smart, articulate, and kind; all of which comes through in this episode. I spent a lovely Saturday morning with her in her beautiful apartment in Manhattan and we talked for almost two hours about everything from her meeting with Oprah to living in NYC  to the value of surrounding yourself with beauty.  We talked about cultivating a supportive community of women & the importance of supporting other women. One of my favorite parts of the interview was her definition of feminism which is my favorite I've heard so far. We discussed the need for inclusion and accessibility in the wellness industry, why balance is a myth, motherhood, and so much more, just listen. She's amazing and I adore this long, deep conversation. Let us know what you think.

A few months ago when I spoke at The Good Fest in Philly I met a slew of fascinating people, including today's guest Chris Cieri the founder of Franklin and Whitman. However, we can barely call it meeting since we hardly spoke because the weekend was so packed.  We kept in touch though and next thing I knew Chris and I became a great friends. He is creative, ambitious, genuine, and the kind of guy who would (as he says in the episode) help you with your oxygen mask before securing his own much to the chagrin of every flight attendant. Chris is the founder of the instagram famous Philadelphia based all-natural skincare line Franklin & Whitman a company that not only is cruelty free but also donates 5% of their sales to animal shelters. He's an impressive guy--juggling his young business, a high level tech job, and being a father and husband. We get into how he makes it all work and how his motto 'perfectly imperfect' helps. This conversation is so rich--we covered our addiction to our phones and occupying ourselves, vulnerability and connection, family, ambition, and of course  the inception of Frank & Whit beginning with a beard oil. I had a blast recording this episode. Chris and his wonderful wife Lisa came to NYC for the weekend and we not only recorded this 2 hour long conversation but talked even more over dinner and brunch in the city.

This episode feels so cozy to me. Listening to it brought back all the joy I felt when we recorded a couple weeks ago in Ruby's beautiful Brooklyn apartment. Sitting across from her surrounded by lush plants, shinny crystals, and cool photography-- I never wanted to end the episode and after two hours of flowing conversation it was truly hard to leave. Ruby is one of those people you meet and immediately want to be around and listen to. Not only does she have a soothing voice (complete with a British accent) with it she tells stories of her life in London as a fashion and lifestyle journalist, spews fascinating spiritual and astrology facts, antidotes of falling in love and moving to New York City, starting her online magazine The Numinous, and musing being a Material Girl in a Mystical World.  I'm proud of this conversation and how it effortlessly meandered into such interesting areas. We of course talked about her journalism career where she interviewed everyone from Lady Gaga to Claire Danes but also things I've never heard her discuss before like her eating disorder recovery and how she met and fell in love with her husband. We talk about how she found a career that she loves and fills her up as well as how she got into astrology and what the process of writing her book was like and what sharing it with her family was like. We get into the mystical vs. the scientific and where she is now with spiritual activism at the core of all her work which means taking all this mystical knowledge and using it for good in the world. I adore Ruby, her message, book, and this conversation. Hope you like it too and let me know.

A few years ago I was a mess around food and my body. My entire life revolved around what I was eating next. If I wasn't preoccupied with my next meal, I was thinking about what I'd eaten earlier and what that meant for what or how much I'd allow myself to eat later. On the rare occasion I wasn't thinking about food, googling gluten-free-dairy-free recipes, or checking out another vegan restaurant's menu I was thinking about my body and how I was terrified of it changing in a way I wasn't comfortable with. I'm embarrassed to admit all of this but that was my internal reality until I found the work of today's repeat guest Isabel Foxen Duke. Isabel showed me there's another way to live. She taught me why I and so many people fall into an obsession with thinness and therefore dieting and consequently food, all as a result of thinness as a standard of beauty in our culture and the pervasive diet culture that has created. She taught me about fat phobia and how I had internalized it. She taught me about intuitive eating and deconstructing my diet mentality to listen to my body's hunger and fullness signals. She taught me about emotional eating and how it's not wrong, rather it is merely a coping mechanism and a response to years of deprivation with food. She taught me to diversity my hobbies away from wellness alone and to instead focus my attention on my career, creativity, and relationships. Most of all, she helped my to finally stop fighting food and work on making my life as a whole really beautiful, not just my body. We talk about all this and more in today's very long, robust episode. As I mentioned in the inro, I took Isabel's flagship program in 2014 and it honestly really helped me. She's launching it again and that means her free video training series is available for a while so watch those videos here  to see what you think. And enjoy this episode with my friend and mentor IFD. -Isabel's course: Stop Fighting FoodCheck out Isabel's FREE VIDEO series, then pop into the Facebook Group and let's discuss!-Isabel's past episodes on the podcast:: Episode #77 & Episode #55 & Episode #9-Isabel on social media::   Instagram | Twitter | Facebook-Isabel's blog post about emotional eating being coping mechanism-Dr. Linda Bacon's episode on the pod about health at every size-Virgie Tovar body activist Isabel mentions-Movie: When Harry Met Sally-TV: Friends-Books:: The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer, The Untethered Soulby Michael Singer, & When Things Fall Apartby Pema Chodron-Oma raw cheese she loves  Cool Things to Check-Out:-I'll be doing a podcast listener meet-up and LIVE recording at The End in Brooklyn on August 24th, 2017, come hang out!-The Good Fest will be in L.A. on Feb. 3rd, 2018 !!

 I stumbled across today's guest Sam Zabell's podcast Adulthood Made Easy while doing research before my interview with Ashley Ford.  Sam had Ashley on her podcast a few months before I did and as I listened to that episode I knew I wanted the articulate and curious host Sam to also be a guest on my podcast. Sam moved to New York City to pursue a career in magazine writing after studying journalism at Northwestern. She found herself not only writing for Real Simple Magazine, she also hosted their podcast Adulthood Made Easy.  This conversation was recorded in her Manhattan apartment. We talk about podcasting, life in your 20's, relationships, body image, side hustles and hobbies, living in New York and so much more. If you enjoy this episode let us know over in the Facebook Group. Also a quick reminder about the upcoming LIVE PODCAST recording I'll be having at The End in Brooklyn. Come be a part of the conversation. Being able to record these episodes live has been such an incredible shift for me.  -Sam's Instagram | Twitter | Her Website for Crafts for Change-Her past podcast which I love, Adulthood Made Easy (some of her favorite pod guests are Abbi Jacobson, Mara Wilson, Ashley Ford... although they are all really good)-We also mention The Turnaround podcast-Her calligraphy Instagram / Website-Sam's article about her body image struggle (and her experience with trichotillomania) on Real Simple-this episode with Arden Rose also talks about trichotillomania-we talk about Megan Gebhart's "52 cups of coffee"-She uses Mint to stay on top of her finances-new restaurant in NYC she just discovered:: Hometown Bar-B-Que-Movie:: The Parent Trap-TV:: Veep-Book:: Homegoing-Music:: Powerful Broadway Women Playlist on Spotify Cool Things to Check-Out:-I'll be doing a podcast listener meet-up and LIVE recording at The End in Brooklyn on August 24th-The Good Fest will be in L.A. on Feb. 3rd, 2018 !!

Today I have Taran and Bunny Ghatrora, sisters and co-founders of Ellebox as well as a podcast listener Q&A in the intro of this episode making it a very packed nearly 2 hours. I know it's been a while since I've done a Q&A episode, so I thought I'd add some in to this episode.  I'm not an expect on anything but I did very earnestly answer all the questions I received.  This episode feels like a big sleepover where I get to chat with you guys through your questions in the beginning then my interview with the co-founders of Ellebox feels like girl talk too.  I love Ellebox and believe in what they are doing but after this interview with the CEO sisters my love for Elle box hit new heights. You'll get to hear some about Ellebox and how it came to be but also we discuss growing up, periods, family, feminism, moon cycles and more!

This episode makes me so happy. From the experience of the recording to the interview itself, I'm so proud of this conversation and excited for you to hear it.  I talk with the amazingly wise psychiatrist and founder of Positive Prescriptions Dr. Samantha Boardman. We spoke for over almost two hours on an array of tools the uses to help her patients and wisdom she accrued over her years as a practicing therapist in New York City. Dr. Sam radiates a kindness and has an energy that is so pure and inspiring. In re-listening to her episode I was inspired all over again. Her website, Positive Prescription is dedicated  to sharing inspiration around tweaks and changes people can make that are life-enhancing and resilience-building. We discuss many of these little changes and additions people can add to their lives to enhance the good and joy in the everyday. Everything she offers is all science-backed, research-driven, actionable, productive and digestible. I hope you get something valuable out of this episode, I know I've already applied much of what she shared into my own life.  And let us know what was your biggest take-away over in the Facebook Listener Group! and sign up for her weekly dose which I also love. -Dr. Samantha's Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter-Angela Duckworth's talk about Grit -Books:: Theft by Findings by David Seders, Flourish by Martin Seligman, Influence by Robert Cialdini, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, You Must Change Your Life by  Rachel Corbett-Moon Juice products-Other favorites:: Rudy (movie) & U2 (music) Cool Things to Check-Out:-I'll be doing a podcast listener meet-up and LIVE recording at The End in Brooklyn on August 24th-The Good Fest will be in L.A. on Feb. 3rd, 2018 !!

Ever since my friend Jess Murnane told me about Phoebe I wanted to be her friend. It wasn't until I met her in person for the is podcast that I truly realized how smart, funny, wise, and interesting she is. She's one of those people I could talk to for hours and in this episode I did. We recorded this conversation a couple weeks ago in Williamsburg, Brooklyn over cranberry kombucha. Phoebe recently wrote her second book book, The Wellness Project, which highlights so much of what I have been trying to integrate into my life over the past couple years: balancing healthy habits with enjoyment of life (or as Phoebe describes it health vs. hedonism). We also talk about the balance between being ambitious and letting things happen without  pushing and about following your passion even when the path is unclear. Between all these topics you'll hear about my kitchen horror stories (knife scars and all) along with laughs of us bonding over being only children and loving New York City. This is my favorite episode I've done in a while and I think you'll love it too.  -Phoebe's Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube  Pintrest-Her new book: The Wellness Project -Amber Rae -- she talks about the three hats that creative entrepreneurs wear: the editor, the agent, the artist-Citizen Jane Battle for the City - documentary-Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa) was her father's friend when she was growing up-more about Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Perioral Dermatitis-her first website was Big Girls Small Kitchen (which is still run from her friend Cara)-Books we mention:: Gretchen Rubin's book The Happiness Project (was an inspiration for her book), The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera, The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman-Movies:: Pride and Prejudice, Wonder Woman, Harry Potter movies-Lynn Chen - listen to my podcast episode with her, we talk about how she and her boyfriend read to each other at night-NY Times Crossword app we're loving loving-Article about productivity and what's really holding you back-Places to eat in NYC:: Hu Kitchen, Jeffrey’s Grocery, Joseph LeonardCool Things to Check-Out:-The Good Fest will be in L.A. on Feb. 3rd, 2018 !!

My boyfriend and I spoke in person with executive chef Chris Zabita at his NYC market to table restaurant Society Cafe a couple weeks ago. We talked about everything from picky eaters to cooking for yourself as a chef to the competitive nature of the restaurant industry.  Since moving to New York I’ve been recording most of my interviews in-person and I’m loving it because it allows way more intimacy than Skype can, hopefully you can feel that and it's a welcome change to the show. I’ve also been exploring the plethora of restaurants in the city Cafe Society being one of them. This interview was a blast to record and I hope you enjoy eavesdropping on this candid conversation.  Chef Chris gave us a look into what it is like to be a chef, how he feels about popular foodie trends, how he feels about picky eaters modifying his dishes, and much more. -Society Cafe's Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter-Chef Chris's Instagram-We talk about the Union Square farmers market and other green markets across NYC-Some of his favorite dishes he makes is vegan chicharrones made from beet, mushroom, and carrot-New dishes he is making that he loves right now: Flatbread Croque Madame, Tomato Salad, Salmon, Market Salad, Deep Fried Hummus & Roasted Carrots-Check out Nix vegetarian restaurant in NYC -Cooking shows we mention: Chef’s Table & Rocco Dispirito , Chopped-Other places Chris has been a chef at: Marc Forgione (Tribeca), Victoria And Alberts (Grand Floridian Resort Disney)-If you are into carbonated water we mention the soda stream-For those that listen to Nick at the end talk about pastrami we mention Carnegie Deli & Lobster Press Cool Things to Check-Out:-Join me THIS SUNDAY, July 16, 2017 for a Self Care Sunday with Franklin & Whitman in Philly-The Good Fest will be in L.A. on Feb. 3rd, 2018 !!
