The Wellness Process

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a board certified psychiatrist and researcher who led the first ever peer reviewed study on high functioning depression. They talk about her upbringing as a Caribbean immigrant, the pressure to be constantly high achieving, and how she ended up depressed while giving a talk on how to help others get through crisis. Dr. Judith breaks down the difference between burnout and high functioning depression, explains why so many high achievers become pathologically productive as a way to outrun unprocessed pain, and shares her five Vs framework for reclaiming joy: validation, venting, values, vital signs, and vision. They also get into phone addiction, the link between hormones and depression, and why planning joy is not as unromantic as it sounds.

In today's SOLO episode, Elizabeth talks about the difference between chasing goals and actually raising your frequency, and why she believes the universe responds to energy rather than a to-do list. She shares what shifted after a weekend digital detox, why honoring your own wiring matters more than following someone else's routine, and how she moves through her own low and high frequency seasons. She closes out with the real difference between being lucky and being magnetic.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Rachel Goldman, a psychologist specializing in health and behavior change and author of the new book When Life Happens. They talk about why not every season of life needs to be about growth, how to break free of the all or nothing "dieter's mentality," and why maintaining what's working can be its own form of progress. The conversation dives deep into GLP-1s, body image, and the mental health implications of "shrinking bodies" culture, including Dr. Rachel's honest take on treating these medications like a crash diet. They also get into the difference between being physiologically full and emotionally satisfied, mindful eating practices, and how to build real resilience without needing to hit rock bottom first.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Sammy Nussdorf, founder and CEO of Meadow Lane, the buzzy Tribeca gourmet grocer that's been dubbed the "Erewhon of NYC." They dig into the menu obsessions (chicken tendies, the famous grapes, PB&J pockets), how Sammy built the entire business in public on TikTok as @brokebackcontessa, and what it's really like navigating virality, trolls, and "Chicken Nugget-gate" as a first-time restaurant operator. The conversation also gets personal as Sammy opens up about his sobriety journey, from prescription painkillers to a serious ketamine addiction, what finally got him to stop, and how he's approaching recovery today.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with intuitive and spiritual mentor Nikki Novo, host of the Soul-Led Living podcast. They talk about spirit babies, the souls that hover around us before conception and shape everything from pregnancy timing to loss to the identity shift into motherhood. The conversation moves into what Nikki calls the current collective moment, a time when old safety-driven paths no longer reward us and living authentically is what actually works now. They cover tuning into your true self through inner-child work, honoring your own rhythms, and Nikki's daily practices for staying energetically clear.
