“Just because you have a diagnosis doesn't mean you fit in the same box as someone else.”

Friend, today we are diving into autism with educational therapist, school psychologist, and my friend, Alicia Trice.

Alicia has worked with people with autism (and their families) for over 10 years and in this chat she debunks many of the myths that are circulating about autism. She explains the importance of individualized care and the need for better resources within our education system for non-neurotypical kids.

From someone who is on the ground working with these families every day, Alicia encourages us to look for the strengths in each other and to lead with love.

Friend, this is a good one. Thanks to Alicia for being here and thanks for hitting play on another Tell Me More chat!

“There's research that says over 50% percent of supplements tested weren't exactly what they claimed to be.”

Friend, your mind is about to explode in Part 2 of our chat with Dr. Jessica Knurick!

We chat about why the wellness industry has exploded in recent years and the changes we can make to keep ourselves (and our neighbors) healthy.

Dr. Jessica breaks down why supplements aren’t regulated by the FDA and how our government’s policies have resulted in a lack of accessibility to nutritious food and preventive healthcare for many Americans.

I had to ask her if eating whole foods and moving your body was enough to stay healthy and you may be surprised by her answer.

Thanks for being here with an open mind! And don’t miss Part 1 when Dr. Jessica talks about ultra-processed food and why we should care about public health in the first place.

“What I have a problem with is when people use fear-based conspiratorial language to scare the shit out of you.”

Friend, it’s safe to say most of us have had the shit scared out of us on social media with some new claim about what’s in our food (or isn’t in our food!)

Well Dr. Jessica Knurick isn’t having it and with science on her side she is here to share her thoughts on what is going on right now in public health, the wellness industry, and beyond.

In the first part of this chat, Dr. Jessica breaks down the difference between public health and individual wellness, the issues with ultra-processed foods, and the role that government policies and corporate interests play in shaping our food environment.

I was able to walk away from this chat with a lot of new information that MADE SENSE so I know you’ll feel the same way after hearing from Dr. Jessica.

Ultimately, the goal with these chats is to introduce you to someone who may think differently than you or has experience that is different than your own. Learning from someone like Dr. Jessica can empower you to make informed decisions about your health and public health policies.

In Part 2 we chat about why the wellness industry has exploded in recent years and the changes we can make to keep ourselves (and our neighbors) healthy. Don’t miss it!

It took over 30 years for Andrea Cruz to gain her American citizenship, and her lawyer said she had it easy…

You may have opinions about undocumented immigrants and that’s exactly why I’m chatting with Andrea Cruz today.

Andrea was an undocumented immigrant from Peru for much of her adult life. She shares how her parents brought her to America legally at the age of 9 and the hoops she had to jump through to gain her citizenship.

There are so many misconceptions about immigrants and the process they must go through to chase The American Dream.

Andrea shares what her local community is going through with the current political rhetoric and how they are supporting one another. Immigrants, just like any group of people, are not a monolith. We all have more in common than we may believe.

With any chat, it's important for us to listen with an open mind and heart. Thank you to Andrea for opening up about her lived experience and thank YOU for being here to learn and listen.

“ Mental health can be all consuming but having a community helps a lot.”

We’ve all heard that Gen Z is more focused on their mental health than any other generation but why? In this chat, we get to hear from my 23-year-old daughter Kris, who shares some of the struggles faced by Gen Z, particularly around mental health, societal pressures, and workplace challenges.

Kris opens up about her recent mental health issues, the anxiety faced by undocumented friends, and the impact of political and social climates on her generation. She explains why her and her friends are so focused on community and if they are interested in pursuing “The American Dream.”

And friend, don’t miss the part when I ask Kris about a new dating app and she completely shuts me down!

With any chat, it's important for us to listen with an open mind and heart. Thank you to Kris for opening up about her world and thank YOU for being here to learn and listen.

“Every woman should feel comfortable asking for what they need and receiving it, in any relationship.”

The self-proclaimed Queen of Receiving and sugar baby is here to chat with us about her philosophy behind receiving.

Our guest shares how she became a sugar baby and what that lifestyle really looks like in LA. You may be surprised to hear that it has a lot to do with seeing yourself as an asset, having gratitude for what you already have, and feeling comfortable receiving support from others.

Even if you don’t agree with the sugar baby lifestyle, I truly believe there is something to learn from every person and every life.

Thank you to our guest for sharing so openly and thank YOU for being here to learn and listen.
