The Actor's Diet

Katie Joy Horwitch is a longtime blog friend.  Like, since the beginning of this blog.  I'm so thrilled to have watched her grow over the years - from a fellow blogger, to one of the founding editors of The Chalkboard Mag, to the #GirlBoss she is today with WANT: Women Against Negative Talk (listen to our interview here).

How fun to interview my good friend Nick Hoffa for the podcast!  We've been friends for a long time, you've seen him (and his wife Meredith) all over this blog, plus he's my acting teacher/coach. In this episode we discuss pubs in England, our college diets, and how eating Paleo helped him with an autoimmune disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis. Theme music is by Podcast Guest Goh Nakamura.

When I first shared my eating disorder story six years ago, Andie Mitchell was the very first person to comment.  We have been virtual friends since the beginning of T.A.D. and it's been a thrill watching her grow into the NY Times Bestselling author she is today. We talk Shake Shack hangovers, oatmeal phases, what it's like to be a weight loss/body image role model and so much more. Theme music is by Podcast Guest Goh Nakamura.
