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
  • 14:05: emily’s story around transitioning out of a season spent in service to others
  • 15:55: the “best” way to get in touch with what you like to do
  • 17:27: tapping into body wisdom in simple ways
  • 20:25: yes/no practice for building intuitive awareness
  • 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)
  • 37:12: making yourself wrong for a difference of opinion
  • 38:53: inviting your intuition to the biz planning party
  • 46:20: the way emily does business her way
  • 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

fuck snowstorms, bloom. when you’re already hanging on by some kinda thread, there’s nothing like a continuous 24-hour heavy snowfall with accumulations of 18+ inches to make you fall to your proverbial knees (or scream obscenities through tears on the way to fill up your gas tank) when your finances for the rest of the month are planned + plotted to the penny, canceled work gigs HURT or maybe your heart is too too tender lately, and being snowed in echoes the absence of someone you miss or...

hey, garlic knot. i know we love our checklists, and crossing items off them and you know i’m all about making sure that what’s ON them in the first place makes best sense for YOU — which means that you’ve probably already eliminated most of the unnecessary tasks on your list that reflect other people’s goals, wishes + intentions more than your own (way to go! or, if this is something you struggle with — give a shout to talk through how i can help) but now that your lists are filled with the...

hey, pickled pepper. meet ‘em where they’re at — it’s a tenderhearted battle cry for folks here to lead, educate, and love well it’s the opposite of expecting everyone to be where you are or where you want them to be — in how they relate to you, what you believe, and what you need it’s a hallmark of compassion, empathy, understanding + love i bet you’re all about meeting everyone else where they’re at… but answer me this: who’s meeting YOU there? and perhaps even more importantly: are you...
