In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with Tik Tok’s best friend Tefi, to discuss enjoying friends around the dinner table, releasing negative energy, and the power of a healthy reframe.

Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week: FINA, the world governing body for swimming, bans transgender women from women’s events, and New York ruled that Happy the Elephant cannot be released to a sanctuary, and must remain at the Bronx Zoo.

Amy and Grace also share their antidotes for the week, which include going to a sauna, and pilates.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Amy The world is a dumpster fire. I'm Amy.

Grace And I'm Grace.

Amy And we want to help. And fair warning. Our help comes with some strong language attached. So if you don't know me by now, turn this podcast off because we're going to say some things.

Grace As a reflex to the f---ing madness on the news. We're keeping it positive, uplifting, but opinionated.

Amy We talk about cultural moments we love.

Grace Talk to people we adore.

Amy Crushes we have.

Grace And self-care we stand.

Amy During these trying times. We all need a show that focuses on joy.

Grace Don't we know, this is The Antidote. Hi, everybody. Welcome to another week. And it is been a week.

Amy Oh.

Grace It has been a 2022. You know what I'm saying?

Amy It has been a 2022. I really hope y'all are like on vacation somewhere, like an elongated vacation. And you haven't come back from your 4th of July activities and you're still, like, on a beach somewhere enjoying life.

Grace Yeah, we wish that for you. But, you know, you got to tap into some of these simple pleasures. Like both Amy and I had the most delish vegan chocolate chip cookies the other day.

Amy Yes, we did. Oh, my gosh. They were so good because there was salt on top. There was Maldon.

Grace Yes.

Amy There was Maldon salt sprinkled on top.

Grace Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, the salty with the sweet, you know. And then it's also like they came out kind of warm, too, so it was like melty and, you know, the kind where you have to use like three napkins for one cookie. And they were like a good size too.

Amy They were really big. I was like, for me, sometimes a big cookie is overwhelming because I love a cookie.
