This week I spoke with herbalist and writer Rachelle Robinett about her new book, *Naturally*, and ideas inside it: dopamine, novelty, primal motivation, and regulating our nervous systems. We talk about how distraction is often a desire for a change in state, how to identify the state we’re craving, her favorite herb and alcohol alternative, and how she’s redefining ambition.

This week, I talked to attorney and writer Savala Nolan. We talked about the vulnerable process of writing a personal book of essays, including writing about divorce, motherhood, and the importance of respecting one’s appetite in every sense—from creative to physical. I always love talking to Savala and was so happy to catch up with her here. Let us know if you listen.

This week, I’m joined again by emotional eating expert Tricia Nelson. This time, we explore the intricate connection between emotional eating and romantic relationships. We talk about how emotional responsibility includes becoming aware of the ways food struggles can impact intimacy and communication in relationships.
