I made a legit new friend while interviewing Ali Weiss! Her openness to share is creative, raw, and inspiring. Ali is the ex-wellness blogger turned investigative journalist and comedian whose reputation as The Bukowski of #Wellness has now emerged into The Princess of Taboo. Across various forms of media, this New York native is known for sharp, unapologetic social commentary and a willingness to dive headfirst into so-called “forbidden” topics. We talked bout the “legitimacy” of our jobs, imposter syndrome, stereotypes we have to fight, Instagram facades, psychiatric meds, abortion, and MORE.    Ali’s podcast Tales of Taboo is an anonymous confessions show investigating - and celebrating - what happens behind closed doors. Forgoing the traditional interview podcast format, she dissolves the boundaries between host and audience by creating episodes around their unique experiences, with subjects ranging from the fashion and sex industries to sorority culture to drug addicts & dealers. The result is provocative and profoundly moving — a unique juxtaposition that’s the nucleus of Ali’s brand.       This episode is brought to you by WHOOP, Macy's, and GLDN.   WHOOP isn’t just another fitness wearable - it’s designed to provide personalized and actionable data based on your body.
