I had the honor of interviewing my friend and colleague, Sarah Polacco, from Achieve Fitness in Boston, MA. She's also the host of her own podcast Purposeful Strength.

Sarah and I chatted about a few things, namely:

-her relationship to anxiety and how she's learned to manage it successfully

-how exercise and avoiding gluten help her feel mentally strong

-her recommendations to get motivated to exercise when you're depressed or anxious

-Sarah throws shade at Billy Blanks (JK!)

-how her identity as a short/small person changed as she's grown and matured

I hope you enjoy this episode with someone I admire and draw inspiration from and share a BIRTHDAY with! :)

Why it feels impossible to be vulnerable. by Dillan DiGiovanni

What makes a great therapist? In this episode I review two decades of different therapists and what has helped as well as what didn't work well at all. This is an homage to my therapist of ten years who died suddenly almost two weeks ago. He changed my life forever and his death inspired me to share the potential of finding a great therapist.
