This week I spoke to Moon Juice founder and CEO Amanda Chantal Bacon. We had a candid conversation that began with talking about shame and a book (All Fours). And spanned to finding love later, aging, mourning past life phases, intergenerational friendship, and the myth of balance. She was so wise and easygoing that I left feeling like I'd just hung up with a good friend.

This is a conversation between writer Verônika Shülman and myself, at a party for the release of my new zine, Pivot. It was so nice to be in the same room with everyone after being stuck inside for most of the summer with a broken leg—but in that time I had put together this zine, which is about the lessons I learned in the last decade. If you want a copy, below is how you get one!
This week, Simi Botic—author, founder of *Unmeasured*, and my best friend—joins me to talk about PIVOT, a new zine of essays I compiled while being stuck inside this summer. We talk about seeing each other through different phases and the feelings that come from revisiting our old work. PIVOT is one big nod to my 20's, including all the lessons I learned and the experiences that taught me them.
This week I spoke to Neada Deters, founder of the organic skincare range LESSE. Inspired by watching her grandmother apply her skincare, Neada gave LESSE the tagline, rituals over routines. We covered her daily rituals, her journalism background, how she spends her days, working with her husband, keeping in touch with people far away & her approach to beauty including where the industry is going.
