Unhinged with Amrit

This week Sarah Larson Levey, CEO & Founder of Y7 Studio joins us to spill on her new life as a mother of two whilst simultaneously relaunching the studio's digital offering in partnership with Universal Music Group. After temporarily pausing the in-person experience during a covid hiatus, the boutique yoga with a cult following is back and bigger than ever. From poopy diaper talk, to Y7's new digital platform, couples therapy, navigating multiple miscarriages and Postpartum to the new car our husbands won't stop talking about -- we cover it all.

Happy Valentines day lovers — consider this my gift to you. This week we are joined by none other than beloved Internet personality, adult performer & Opal’s mommy… Janice Griffith!!!!

We dissect the rules of engagement as approved by her and leave nothing uncovered, we answer your submitted questions and chat all things green flags in a partner, first date textiquette, the dying art of generosity, our favorite gadgets, TikTok deep cleaning hacks, gatekeeping, humiliation fetishes, canvassing for Bernie Sanders, Easter at Berghain and a sea bream worth crying over.

WARNING, this week’s episode is a tear jerker... so don’t say we didn’t warn you. We tapped our favorite irl cherub, Marta 444 an incredibly tender episode on owning vulnerability, losing a loved one, launching a successful business (have you heard of Dieux, duhhhhhh) in the midst of a pandemic, digital detoxing when your work is rooted in being a url girlie, the best chicken tenders, siblings or dating, influencer gifting scammers and so much more. 

Amrit’s Host note: **first time I’ve done one of these! I can’t fathom the weight of losing a parent, let alone being brave enough to share  the story in a public forum so honest and openly in the hopes of others feeling less alone. I feel truly grateful to be able to facilitate this conversation, a special thank you to Marta for trusting me with her story. 

This episode is dedicated to all the goods we've known and loved at Trader Joes. On this weeks Unhinged, our Palestinian American podcasting queen and fashion girlie fave Noor Elkhadi leads us in a masterclass of how to bribe the NYC real estate market with a mighty Starbucks gift card. We debate a tale as old as time -- the age old marriage expiration due by date,  the pros of setting the bar so low with family that it is virtually impossible to disappoint, our unbridled love for cigarettes (and the key to smart smoking), the secret lives of our pets and if they're outsmarting us and the never ending burden of cultural responsibility on our silly, goofy little shoulders.

Make sure you check out Noor's brilliant podcast, Arab-American Psycho and my episode with her HERE and be sure to follow her here @Noore for more updates. 

Tefi told me to, and so the Bible said. A TikTok National Treasure with pop culture hot takes and celeb investigative journalism regarded so highly, one could say she is the Olivia Benson of Hollywood —  how lucky are we to be blessed with her presence!!!!!!! Some of the many trash talk topics we covered: What happens when you lose a suitcase of Colombian diamonds? How do you turn a red carpet slip into major national news? What is a tell tale sign of a fake online relationship? How do you track a suitcase down on Skid Row and manage to orchestrate a meet cute romantic prospect along the way? Are we really trading in our glitz and glam for a namaste lifestyle? A petition to abolish long relationship captions, a solid case for why we stan the offline King and an Unhinged exclusive on Tefi’s dating updates. 

There is only one way to find out! Tune in for yourself and see**
