Laura Miller is here! You may know her from crazy food ensembles, popular Tastemade videos, or her upcoming book (Raw. Vegan. Not Gross.), but what you might not know is that she struggled lots personally and professionally to get to where she is today. Laura gets candid about some of these issues and what she did to get to the other side. 

Laura and I talk about how she went through a dozen jobs before landing a career in food, how she became the trojan horse of introverts, why she believes good food/diet isn’t the magic pill cure-all for being truly healthy, how she’s dealt with the mean girls and boys of the Internet, and how she’s helping other women with her #froobs (food + boobs) community.

Surprise! New podcast. I know we never release mid-week, but this topic and guest were too important not to share right away. 

I’m talking with filmmaker Shannon Cohn about Endo What?, her new documentary. This new film not only gives all the facts and information that your doctor never told you about endometriosis, but encourages and inspires women to be more empowered with their healthcare choices to treat it. And it is beyond powerful. 

Shannon and I discuss why more women with endometriosis aren’t diagnosed sooner, how her own battle with the disease inspired her to make this film, the impact environmental toxins play with endo, the number one diet change you can make to possibly help manage endo symptoms, and why women’s below-the-waist health issues are the last great health taboo.

You know those people that are really great at talking and articulating things? Like so good that you aren’t able to articulate how great they are at articulating? Well, that’s Grace Bonney. She’s so incredibly smart and thoughtful that I couldn’t wait to hear the things she had to share. And I’m even more excited to share them with you.

Episode 50!!! Ok, technically there are more than 50 episodes if you count Freak Your Weeks…but this is the 50th long-form interview. Which is just nuts. Before I get to the guest, I want to thank you for being so supportive of the podcast. I love the cool club we’ve created together!

Our 50th guest is Celestine Maddy of the new book A Wilder Life! You got a sneak peak of it last week, and now you’ll get to hear all the nitty gritty details of how making this book went down. 

Celestine and I talk about her life before she ventured outside (there were lots of video games involved), how getting your hands dirty can make you feel more grounded, why she decided to take a break from her magazine (Wilder Quarterly), and what nature, the gym, and Khloe Kardashian have in common (you might be surprised).

So technically I’m supposed to be on “hiatus” from the podcast while I finish my book. But I just couldn’t stay away from you. Especially when I’ve just recorded an interview on a topic that so many of you have said you wanted to know more about. 

When I first talked about misophonia (the hatred of sound) on Episode 30 with Ashlae Warner, I got tons of messages from listeners saying they felt such relief knowing they weren’t alone in either experiencing misophonia themselves or having to deal with someone who had it. So when I saw there was a new documentary about it, I knew I had to get the filmmaker (Jeffrey S. Gould) on the pod to give us the full scoop on this condition…and share everything he learned while making the film. 

Jeffrey and I discuss what misophonia is and isn’t; how sufferers deal with the anger, sadness, and guilt that comes with the condition; how his own sensitivities to sound led him to create his new film, Quiet Please; his tips on creating coping mechanisms; and why he says the grocery store can turn him into Charles Manson.

I know that the title of this podcast is long. And I wanted to make it 20 times longer, because we covered so much great stuff in this episode. This week, I’m talking to Kelsey Miller. She’s a senior writer at Refinery 29, creator of The Anti-Diet Project, and author of the new book, Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting And Got A Life.

Kelsey and I talk about what it’s truly like inside the head of someone with disordered eating, what led her to start the Anti-Diet Project, what “giving yourself permission to eat” actually means and what it doesn’t, the traumatic childhood experience that shaped the way she saw her body, how she hopes speaking out about this experience might open the door for others, and why she doesn’t exactly believe in the idea of closure.
