In this episode, I'm a guest on Liz Tran's podcast, Reset. Liz is an author, executive coach & founder of Reset NYC. She not only interviews me but gives me a coaching session on air. Among other things, we speak about the role of emotion in decision making, regret, feeling behind, moves & other transitions, whether everything happens for a reason & the pressure to "keep up with the Jonses".

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.

Megan Tan is an award-winning storyteller and audio producer who has created shows such as Radiotopia's Millennial, Gimlet Media's The Habitat, and her most recent podcast, Snooze. Her episode on WILD about love in the pandemic is my favorite of her recent work. I felt particularly inspired by Megan’s bits of wisdom from her experience and Buddhist faith. I hope you find it uplifting as well.

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.

To celebrate the 400th episode of this podcast, I talk to my friend and fellow podcaster Alyssa Benjamin, a strategist who works with values-based brands.

Our conversation covers finding “inner stability”, career pivots, leaving New York, dating, and more.

This week I spoke to Brendan Francis Newnam, host of the travel podcast Not Lost. We talk about how he made the show and I picked out a few clips that particularly landed with me, including the balance between sharing vulnerably and holding back, how our trauma impacts our openness to relationships, and thoughts on loneliness, rejection, and connection.

This episode is a conversation with art advisor, curator, and author Maria Brito about career and creative pivots when things aren’t working, reinvention, using intuition in work and art, the importance of solitude, and much more. Maria's kindness is always evident throughout and she gives me gentle and wise advice, which I’ve since been working on.

Today’s conversation is with author and mindfulness teacher Rosie Acosta, whose struggles with identity and mental health as a teenager eventually led her to yoga and meditation. We spent a morning catching up, first in an episode of her podcast, then in this conversation, where we cover navigating cycles in relationships, disillusionment and faith, and her new book and the process of writing it.

Nadine Artemis is known for talking and writing about beauty. Her latest book is Renegade Beauty and she's the the founder of natural beauty brand Living Libations.

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.

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 I spoke with visual artist Camilla Engstrom. Our conversation flew by and we ended up talking for nearly 3 hours, so I decided to break this up into two parts. In this first half, you’ll hear about her her upbringing and her moves to Shanghai, NYC, and LA, as well as her creative process, habits, routines, meditation, journaling, spirituality, art influences, and more.

In this episode we discuss many of the themes of her latest book, Stray, including inheriting trauma, boundaries, relationships, motherhood and more. We also talk about writing, her process, creativity, and food.

There wasn’t an episode last week because I was and am listening more than talking. 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.

This is the first episode introducing a new podcast series called HappyThankYouMorePlease.

I loved this conversation with herbalist, nutritionist, and author Erin Lovell Verinder.

In this episode, Erin is candid about her health path, plant medicine, allowing space for integration, surrendering to the unknown and more.

most years i do some sort of year in review this year episode, this year’s turned out to be a clips show compiling all of the times we spoke about heartbreak, breakups, and the growth they can lead to... it sounds like a bummer of an episode but it was actually quite optimistic, full of wisdom, and even at times funny.
