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

  • 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)

  • 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
