I first heard Sarah Potter as a guest on the podcast Scared All the Time, the absolutely only time you'll catch me listening to two white men talking! I was struck by how easily and accessibly she discussed all manner of what is typically described as 'woo woo'. As someone who believes in what we can’t see as much as what we can, I reached out to have her on Busy Body to discuss the aspects of our lives that are the least explainable. This was a really fun episode (that ends with a live tarot reading!) and Sarah Potter is a true light. Her book, Sober Magic, is out now and she's also doing lots of live events in the NYC area. Don't miss her!

Every episode and essay takes hours of effort. Knowing you’re out there reading and listening makes it all feel worth it! Please ‘like’ share comment or review! Doing this helps these platforms promote my work and also lets me know real live people are actually listening!

I'm thrilled to have Lauren Fleshman on the pod today (wooo!) Lauren Fleshman is one of the most highly decorated professional runners in the US. She is also an award winning author. Her book, Good For A Girl, was a life changer for me. I had the supreme joy of joining one of her WILDER retreats this fall in the French Alps (!) where she led us as we ran, wrote and surpassed ourselves every day. Today we talk about running, women in sports and the multitude of pressures that come with athletics. I learned so much just in this convo! I hope you do too.

Please remember to like, comment, share and subscribe wherever you get your pods - it actually really makes an impact on getting this pod to new listeners!

I've been following Julia Belluz's writing for awhile and when I heard she was putting out a book co-authored with Kevin Hall PhD I literally pre-ordered it twice (accidentally but still!).  Food Intelligence did not disappoint! We cover a lot in this conversation from 'food environments' to the unrelegated world of supplements, and of course the discourse around 'obesity', fat bodies and health. It's a great conversation and I also hope to have Kevin Hall on soon so stay tuned!

On this episode of Busy Body I got to dive deep on issues that are close to my heart with Writer, Speaker, Activist, Chrissy King. We discuss the commercialization of Body Positivity, the power and importance of Joy in relation to healing body image and even touch on recent celebrity weight-loss stories.
