antidotes for anxiety & aging, a convo


hey, pickle dip.

last week i was featured on the antidotes for anxiety & aging podcast with emily horstman, RD, and i’m super excited to share it with you!

you can give it a watch right here — go ahead + subscribe to her substack if you dig it!

emily + i “met” on a one-off call for a writing program we both took, quickly took it to socials + then a 1:1 video chat before making it podcast official ;)

she’s a longevity specialist, dietitian, wellness chaser challenging the status quo, and such a freaking delight

we’ve got oodles in common, so this convo was a blast

(even with my shittyass lighting + foolish camera angle lol, but that’s a story for another day, forget i mentioned it 🤦‍♀️)

here are some timestamps if you’re tight on time, but the list is so long you might as well just watch the whole thing 🤩

  • 5:15: intuition-driven decisionmaking as pain relief
  • 6:15: maybe you were born with it, maybe it’s social media or the patriarchy (why so many of us are disconnected from our intuition)
  • 9:10: the importance of people who “get” it when you’re challenging norms
  • 10:53: a super simple starting point for reconnecting to your intuition
  • 12:50: trusting yourself on dating apps 😱
  • 13:30: letting your answer be your answer

  • 24:06: validation + self-trust
  • 25:50: how emily really feels about self-trust lol
  • 26:46: just because you have confidence doesn’t mean you have self-trust
  • 27:52: emily’s most wild sign that she’d been giving her power away (even though on paper it looked like she’d “made it”)
  • 29:29: “why couldn’t i have figured this out sooner?”
  • 30:57: trusting yourself at least as much as everyone else
  • 33:30: “i bought a book on that”
  • 35:53: when emily felt majorly called out (it wasn’t me lol)

  • 48:36: values + validation
  • 51:01: presence practices!!!
  • 58:40: the practice i’m always going to nudge you toward (unless, of course, you hate it lol)
  • 59:20: what i very much want you to know
  • 1:00:13: what i want to be doing when i’m 80

hey, thai limeade sorbet. i get it… joy can feel a little unattainable, especially in times like these when you’re struggling to stay afloat, the idea of claiming joy can feel so damn BIG too big to go after, too much to handle too high stakes and at the same time, not big enough to justify investing energy into not packed with enough ROI to prioritize too freaking cute to take seriously and while i can talk all day about why all that’s just not true — today i want to talk a little bit about...

hey, big ol bundle a cash 💰. yesterday morning i called you mac n cheese in an email yesterday evening a dear friend brought me some surprise mac n cheese from whole foods there’s a lot of talk about the power of manifestation, and some of it i love i’m all about honoring the way our language + thoughts can support us in our endeavors or cockblock us from what we seek but i’m decidedly NOT all about the ways talk of manifestation often sounds like victim blaming, and ignores the very real...
