LET IT OUT

We cover so many topics including: technology, anxiety, the importance of rest, meditation, romantic relationships, the importance of bread with butter, personal style & getting dressed when you don’t feel good about your body, size fluctuations, and way more. She's so magnetic and friendly -- this is one of my favorite episodes in a while.

a special edition episode!! includes a meditation that helped me let go of HOW in an uncomfortable transitional situations with intuitive healer Zoe Graman. Also, I talked all about bodies and all their weirdness with the hosts of That's Pretty Woo. This is a variety show of an episode.

I'm so happy to have storyteller and audio producer Allison Behringer on the podcast this week. She’s the creator of a podcast called BODIES. We talk about her podcast Bodies, what the process of making it taught her, and why women telling their stories about their bodies is so cathartic. This is an intimate episode. We've talked about sex a lot on this show but in this episode you’ll hear me let it out on something I was particularly scared to share. I had a lot of shame around the fact that I had vaginismus. It's a condition making sex painful or difficult. Brené Brown says shame can’t exist when it’s shared and I think that’s why personal storytelling are so wonderful. We talk about why telling personal stories is so important, community, the importance of mothers and daughters talking about sex, and much more in this conversation.

I really loved this conversation with the founders of Of/a Kind Erica and Claire. They were so articulate and warm, I never wanted the interview to end and I think you might feel that way about the episode. 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 episode is a sunshiney one. Recorded at the Emerge music festival, I've been eager to release it since we recorded it. Today's guest London Kaye is a street artist based in LA. Her unique use of crochet to create art pieces made entirely of yarn has brought smiles to communities around the world and has allowed London to create a business out of something handmade. She's way cool and has been featured everywhere from the NYT to NBC to billboards in times square, in this episode we talk about who she went from working at the apple store to crafting her creative career of something non-tech related.

It's fitting to air this episode during New York Fashion Week. From what I've heard, for those in the industry it's a week with no-sleep, harsh style comparisons, high stress, and a triggering one for those recovering from disordered eating. This week's conversation os 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's message is useful to anyone regardless of industry who has struggled with body image and disordered eating. I met the founders at one of their events this spring and loved their vulnerability in how they discussed their recovery ups and downs. I've learned a lot from them, like how disordered eaters tend to be good liars and that self honesty and support are key to true recovery. We recorded this in Ruthie's apartment this summer and covered their experience with disordered eating, what helped them, as well as what they've created with The Chain. My friend writer Rose Truesdale appears in the intro where we talk about travel and disordered eating a bit too, enjoy this episode. 

In this episode, Andrew Bird talks about the slow growth he had as a musician, his discipline & patience in building his career, & how letting go, slowing down, & taking a break was really what actually helped him move forward. He started playing classical violin at four. This training required strict adherence to rules, which he ultimately broke free from to create his own style.

I don't remember when or how I began following today's guest Emily Elyse Miller but I'm real happy I did. She's way cool. After traveling the world her work which centers around morning rituals. She's is a writer and founder of BreakfastClub, a morning club that brings together the coolest creatives in each city over a morning meal, and most recently the author of “BREAKFAST: The Cookbook”, with nearly 400 recipes from 80 countries. She likes mornings for the softness and realness of them. We talk about mornings but much more, in addition to her career in food writing she has a background in fashion as a trend-caster, so we talk about, trend forecasting, style, working and food and how that impacts body image. We have an interesting discussion about loneliness when you’re a single freelancer, not struggling for creativity, and feeing uninspired. She gives great advice and I really enjoyed her.

A couple months ago at The Wing previous podcast guest Seher Sikandar introduced me to the friend she was having coffee with, today's guest Selome Araya. She was bright, friendly, and I liked her right away. Seher connected us and as I learned more about her work I was hooked. Selome is a reiki master, doula, and holistic healer who specializes in the link between spirituality and depression. We talked about her experience with depression and as a highly sensitive person, and how she was able to heal holistically. She shares with us how to know if you are highly sensitive and if so, how to protect yourself. We got into ancestral wounds, what that means and how to heal your lineage through healing yourself. Selome now helps teach others heal their depression holistically through her program Healing at the Root. We also talked about aging and not being where you expected to be by a certain age as well as solo travel as therapy.
