Where is the line between pursuing your health goals, and becoming obsessive about your health goals? Why do we use words like "good" and "bad" when talking about food?

| 73) Jessica Salazar - Leaving Religion, Exploring Sexuality, and Finding Yourself | 28 Feb 2024 | 00:48:46 | |
In the wellness world, the word "Transformation" usually equates to a Before and After photo. But what I am asking everyone to do today - regardless of your personal views - is to broaden what the word "Transformation" means to you, and dig into the often-ignored, clunky, challenging, and even brutal process of becoming your true self. My guest today is Jessica Salazar. Jess grew up in Salt Lake City in an extremely conservative, evangelical Christian environment and was raised to believe that very traditional roles, especially regarding gender, sexuality, relationships, and parenting were the only option for her. In her late 20s-early 30s when her body started telling her something was not right, she began a very long process of unlearning the theology and rigid expectations she had grown up with, in an effort to find a more authentic, whole version of herself. Jess finds herself today on an on-going journey to truly live a brave and shame-free life, and hopes to inspire others to be themselves… no matter the cost.

My guest today is Naomi Crawford, co-owner/chef at Lunchette, the acclaimed Bay Area restaurant known for hyper-local, seasonal food. For anyone familiar with Naomi already, you might know her under the label “chef”, “business owner”, “activist” or “community builder”. But Naomi is the exact kind of human that I love: someone who cannot be labeled, or placed neatly into a box. In our conversation, we discuss seasonal cooking, simple ingredients, and food sourcing, but also go deeper into her personal wellness practices, her internal self-talk, risk taking, consumerism, collaboration, and community health.

My guest today is Molly McGuire. As an Integrative Health Coach, through her practice Feel Food With Molly, she advocates for a simple and straightforward approach to holistic health, believing in the inherent potential for everyone to feel good in their bodies.

| 44) gnash: Redefining Success, and The Art of Letting Go | 26 Jun 2023 | 01:02:47 | |
My guest today is Garrett Nash, who made his global breakthrough with blockbuster hit “i hate you, i love you”, spending 39 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and accumulating more than 2B streams globally. He’s toured all over, performed on several late night TV shows, and been featured in outlets like The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, and Vogue. But more importantly - Garrett has been on the forefront of the movement to normalize conversations around mental and emotional health in the creative community, which can be especially difficult for someone in the public eye. His recent, fantastic album “The Art of Letting Go” was described by The Guardian as a “collection of intimate confessionals and humbling insights around doubt, anxiety and insecurity”. As a former music manager for a decade myself, I can tell you first-hand that artists can often find themselves torn between their public persona, and their authentic self, and Garrett is an example of someone aligning them both.
