In lieu of an interview, this week is a very personal session I had with Anjie Cho. Recorded in person in my apartment, Anjie, an architect, interior designer, and feng shui consultant gives me a consultation of my space. It’s a loose conversation between old friends where I tell her about where I'm at with everything from dating to money.

Instead of an interview today is a mashup of two episodes of Spiraling, the podcast I co-host with Serena Wolf about mental health and anxiety. The first part is from the middle of the current season, where we discuss navigating different timelines and expectations from ourselves and society. Part two is our goofy reintroduction episode where we each share favorite books, drinks, songs and more.

This is part 2 of my conversation with Nada Alic, author of Bad Thoughts. As you'll hear, she's one of those rare people who are as cool as they seem online, yet also warm, inviting, and genuinely kind. We take questions from some mutual friends, and she talks about her somewhat secret 3:00 ritual and much more.

This week I spoke to my friend Carolina Mesarina. An artist with a background in production, she's currently in the midst of a career pivot, which we unpacked in this episode. She’s so genuine, smart, and creative--and one of my close friends--making the episode unique. We cover creativity, identity, money, support, feeling on the outside, procrastination, and career transitions.

Every year for nearly a decade, Sacha Jones has hosted the episode the week of my birthday. This year she really outdid herself: she shocks me with questions sourced from my friends and family and a special guest joins us to host a rapid-fire round. I hope you come away from this conversation feeling the energy of it.

Erin Lovell Verinder is an herbalist, wellness expert, and writer. Her husband Noah is a fellow plant enthusiast, prolific designer, and strategist who most recently designed Erin's latest book, The Plant Clinic. They are also some of my dearest friends. In this episode we discuss prioritizing beauty, creative process and collaboration, lessons on friendship and change, and more.

Dr. Patti Kim is a naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist in Los Angeles. She’s also my close friend, one of my favorite people to be around. We talk about “secret single behaviors”, wellness vs. enjoying your life, connection, simple quick eating, how loneliness impacts physical health, friendship, cocooning, and navigating change while staying present with what is in front of us.

This week I got to talk to my good friend Anjie Cho, who has helped me with the feng shui of all of my apartments. This episode is a real session where you'll hear me speak candidly about where I am and what I'm hoping for as she helps me update my space.

This week I brought back one of my favorite people, author Andrea Owen. In her third appearance on the podcast, we cover trauma healing, writing process, handling conflict, how personal growth relates to community growth, confidence, indecision, how patriarchy hurts everyone, addiction, relationships, her approach to feminism, friendship and more.

Dr. Patti Kim is a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist in Los Angeles. She’s also my close friend, one of my favorite people to be around. She will return to the podcast for part 2 soon but in this conversation we covered rituals, gentle naturopathic medicine, being a slow mover, de-prioritizing self-care, and more.

This week I spoke with Ashley Neese, a renowned breathwork teacher and author. She has studied with some of the world’s leading masters in yoga, meditation, and somatic therapy. In this conversation we explore how she helps guide people back into their bodies where they learn beyond the cognitive mind how to cultivate resilience, develop relational intelligence and trust their own wisdom.

In this episode, I invited 3 of my longtime friends and collaborators Laura, Maria, and Eva to chat. We had a candid conversation about how we all connected through the last nine years of this podcast, what episodes have stuck out for us, what we've learned as a result, and what we've learned since. We cover eating disorder recovery, connection, creativity, journaling, and how connection is key.

Every year my dear friend Sacha Jones comes back on the podcast around my birthday for a conversation. She is one of the most creative, wise, and gentle people I know. Our annual catch-ups end up being time capsules of what we've learned the past year both from the podcast and from what's happened around us. We had a wild year personally and collectively so we unpack the ways we've changed.

This week I spoke with two guests, Becca Millstein and Caroline Goldfarb. Living with each other at the beginning of the pandemic and observing each other's eating eventually led them to a business idea: a tinned fish company called Fishwife. This week we talk about food stigma, transitioning careers, juggling multiple projects, and the habits and routines that help them with it all.

This week's episode is part two of my conversation with Contemplative Educator, Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher and Writer, Mari Orkenyi. Her work lives in the space where Contemplative Practices, Buddhist Psychology and Western Psychotherapy intersect. In this week’s episode, we talk about presence, acceptance, Buddhism, social media, cooking, and Mari gives me some wonderful personal advice.

This week is part 2 of my conversation with chef and author Julia Turshen, coauthor of numerous cookbooks and one of the great cooks and writers of our time. We discussed her creative process, coauthoring books, body image, diet culture and the food industry, the quiet power of cookbooks, how to avoid "co-dep cooking," cooking for others vs. cooking for one, and romantic relationships.

This week I spoke with Meena Harris, a Harvard-educated lawyer, best-selling children's book author, founder and CEO of Phenomenal, and mom. We talk about the inspiration and process behind both books, the need for inclusion within children's literature, community building, organizing, writing, motherhood, friendship, being an only child raised by successful powerful women, and more.

This week I spoke with Whitney Kent Chamberlin. In this conversation we talk about how he was shaped by his tumultuous childhood, and his career that ranged from marketing to photography to starting a bunch of businesses. We talk about navigating unexpected twists this year with covid, meditation, parenthood, relationships, slowing down, self-awareness, identities, creativity, and friendship.

This week's episode is the next installment in the series called HappyThankYouMorePlease, where we have guests talk about three things: something they're happy about, something they're craving more of, and something they are grateful for. This week I spoke with herbalist, author, and past podcast guest Erin Lovell Verinder and her husband Noah Checkle.

This week I spoke with Aycee Brown, founder of @goodnightdarlingco and spiritual thought leader. In our conversation, she gives advice for sleep, romantic relationships, friendships, entrepreneurship, and more. She spoke about human design and how it fits with astrology, her trajectory to sharing the work she does now, and much more.

In this week's episode, I'm speaking to my friend Leah Clancy. Leah is a poet and writer who holds both a bachelor's from NYU and an MFA in writing from CAL Arts. We talk about process, habits, and routines around writing and beyond. We drank wine and giggled as we answered listener questions on writing. I hope you have as much fun eavesdropping as we did recording this.

Dom Roberts is an activist, artist, designer, and content creator who is doing important work with so much gentleness and kindness and ease. We get into having tough anti-racism conversations, how self care is unique for everyone, authentic vs. performative allyship, cancel culture, the importance of design, social media etiquette right now, the importance of unpacking racism early, and more.

This episode is a little different, because it’s more of a conversation between friends than an interview. Karolina is one of my best friends, and she’s such a smart, wise, fascinating person. We have a good thing going with our nightly phone calls and I hope eavesdropping on us helps you feel a little less alone, entertains you, or inspires you to call your friends.

I met Mira speaking on a panel a few months ago in NYC. She's a Brooklyn-based tattoo artist best known on Instagram as GirlKnewYork. Her work has been featured in Elle, Allue and Nylon, and she's tattooed some of the most influential people we know. I loved this conversation that covered creativity, new york, social media, friendship, confidence, being a mom, and tattoos.

Brooke Novick happens to be one of my best friends. She is also a talented therapist, healer, and musician. I've had so many incredible, deep, open conversations with her and I'm grateful that I got to record this one for all of my other friends to hear. It's incredibly illuminating to talk with her—she is incredibly wise and I'm so grateful she exists and did this episode.

Kristin Hanggi and Natalie Roy are best friends and hosts of the Create podcast. The two of them and their relationship endlessly inspire me, which you'll hear in this episode. We also get into their Kristin and Natalie-isms, the importance of speaking up for yourself, group dynamics, rest and work, romancing and delighting girlfriends, intimacy and being seen, and way more.

This cozy conversation was recorded live in Denver with my pal Sara, host of the podcast Medium Well. We covered our love of podcasting, sustainability and feeling overwhelmed with where to begin, the importance of community especially for freelancers, openness around money, the downfalls of the wellness machine, and our relationships with parents as adults.

Kelsey is eloquent, dynamic, and oh so articulate so I always love chatting with her and especially loved this conversation, which ranged from friendship to her writing strategies. It's a rarity to have a repeat guest on the podcast, when someone returns it means I especially love talking with them.

I've been getting to know Christine for years through being entertained by her Vlogs, discovering new music & brands through her favorites videos, style tips from her daily uniform series, and feeling inspired from her apartment tours & intimate interviews on YouTube. I'm so glad this conversation lived up to my expectation of what Christine would be like.

I really loved this conversation with the founders of Of/a Kind Erica and Claire. They were so lovely! I never wanted the interview to end. They talk about their friendship, starting their company of a kind and how they keep their friendship alive while being co-founders. They give great advice on adult friendship, management, and even the best natural mascara and baby gifts for new moms.

This week's conversation with the founders of The Chain, a peer network for women in fashion and entertainment is fitting. Co-founded by writers Ruthie Friendlander and Christina Grasso, the group is particularly active during NYFW, supporting and connecting their community. The Chain message is useful to anyone regardless of industry who has struggled with body image and disordered eating.
