*Spoiler* the U.S.'s most common new year's resolution is (drumroll please) 'lose weight and get fit.'

In today’s first solo episode (meaning one where I and only I talk, apologies in advance), I will be sharing nine of my 2019 favorites ranging from the movie “Parasite” to the pure gold that is Oatly’s oat milk, and my thoughts on intuitive eating. While my 2019 favorites and my thoughts on intuitive eating seem completely disconnected, they are, in fact, not. Many times a new year means a new you. This often manifests itself in the go-to diet culture: cut-out sugar, carbs, gluten, and everything that tastes good, gives us fuel, and allows us to function. Intuitive eating is a subversive approach to this bullsh*t we are bombarded with. Specifically, I discuss the five steps that help me strengthen my relationship with food and awareness with my body and move farther away from the transactional act that food often becomes.

Today's episode features the brilliant and creative Sam behind the Instagram and blog, @Healthfullysam. As I became increasingly interested in accessible wellness, Sam's Instagram page was actually one of the first I followed (fun fact)! Needless to say, having her on my podcast was unreal. Sam creates recipes with real ingredients meant to nourish and fuel your body. She also contributes diverse lifestyle content giving us insight into holistic aspects of wellness like mental health and meaningful movement. Sam shares everything from why she loves teaching spin to the magic behind the spontaneity of her Instagram page to how she navigates the complex world that is college.

Today's episode features the comical, ambitious, and unapologetic Adan— also known as my youngest brother. In the episode, we dive deep into this 9-year-old boy's relationship with food and his body, a perspective that generally goes untouched. His unintentionally comical responses and surprisingly wise comments are truly incredible to listen to (and I am unbiased, of course).

I have quite the guest for you all today— Marglucy Omwega, one of my incredible friends, joins us for an unfiltered and extremely random conversation in a dorm room late at night. Marglucy is the master of anything makeup or fake eyelashes-related, an amazing snuggler, and most importantly, a good friend. You can find her in her room late at night with her infamous colorful lights on blasting 6lack or Summer Walker, or running around doing any and everything— quite literally. In the episode, we discuss everything from being on our phones to horoscopes to death to becoming famous. This is the first episode in this very casual format, and hopefully not the last.

I am kicking off the Ineffable Goodness Podcast with the incredible Caits Meissner, PEN America's Prison and Justice Writing Program Director. Caits accomplishes all her work with an investment in transformative, restorative, and change-making capacities of imagination and creativity. Today I ask Caits about how she thinks about and approaches her work at PEN America in terms of resistance and exploring the possibility of concrete prison reforms from the crucial work that she— and the rest of the program— does. 

We also talk about:

• A brief summary of the work PEN America's Prison and Justice Writing Program is doing and has done
• The seemingly contradictory nature of non-reformist reform
• Looking at non-reformist reform as exploring the why

And, of course, 

• What she feels ineffably good about at the moment
