I went into this interview a little nervous - because let’s be honest, Mariana van Zeller is famously serious. She interviews assassins, drug lords, traffickers, and people living in the darkest corners of the world. I was fully prepared for an intense, heavy conversation. Instead… we laughed. A lot. This episode ended up being funny, warm, surprising, and genuinely joyful - while still being jaw-dropping. Mariana shares what it was like moving to Syria right out of college to become a reporter, the surreal moments of being picked up in the middle of the night, blindfolded, and driven somewhere unknown, and an interview where she wasn’t allowed to bring a phone and had no idea where she was going. We also talk about the personal side of a life spent taking massive risks - how her husband and family support her completely, how she manages fear, and what it really takes to walk into dangerous spaces with empathy instead of ego. This conversation reminded me that the bravest people aren’t hardened - they’re human, curious, and often unexpectedly funny. Mariana is all of that and more, and this ended up being one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever done.

This week, I’m sitting down with Lucy Goff, founder of LYMA, to talk about the science of longevity, beauty, and feeling good from the inside out. We get into her deeply personal journey - from a traumatic pregnancy and serious health challenges to building one of the most innovative wellness brands in the world.

We talk cold laser technology, aging without fear, motherhood, boundaries, and why investing in yourself isn’t vanity - it’s survival. This conversation completely shifted how I think about beauty, healing, and what it really means to look (and feel) your best.

I’m re-sharing one of my favorite episodes of Everything Is the Best, my conversation with Ky Dickens, because it still feels deeply important.

Ky is a filmmaker and truth-seeker, and we talk candidly about power, influence, intuition, and what happens when trust is misplaced. This episode matters to me not just as a woman, but as a mother to a daughter with autism. It reminds me how essential it is to protect vulnerability, to listen closely, and to stay grounded in truth while still holding onto hope.

This conversation stayed with me because it’s ultimately about clarity, agency, and believing yourself again. If you’re in a season of questioning, healing, or learning how to trust your inner voice, I hope this episode offers both perspective and hope.

I’m really glad to share it again.
