I am 37. I have been a healthcare professional for 13 years and I actively work in naturopathic oncology here in the valley. I was a very young mother of my now 20-year old son, Isaiah. He is one of the great lights of my life. My childhood experience left me with some serious abandonment…
The time has finally come – The Social Muse has a podcast. My sister joins me in discussions about manifestation energy, living intentionally, boys, obviously, and interviews with different creatives. We’re on Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music, and… well, honestly, if you’re not on one of those three, I’m not sure what’s happening in your life.
Do you think ‘movie star’ when you hear the name Brandon Pitts? Not to put too much pressure on him, but honestly, that’s his trajectory. You want to talk about manifestation? This guy is so in tune with the universe, it’s unreal. And so inspiring. I’ve known him for… mm, maybe three weeks now and…
Gillian Sisley. Remember her name. Seriously. I stumbled upon her when I joined Medium last year, and I was blown away by how clearly I could hear her voice in her story telling. She immediately made me feel like I was safe – like I could share my sexual assault story without shame. Like the…
I was 13 years old, bawling my eyes out in my parents’ room. I just lost my big sister to ovarian cancer and I was screaming, asking God how he could do this to someone. How he could take away someone so young and special so suddenly. After what seemed like years of sobbing, my…
What brings you here today? Feeling anxious? Overwhelmed? Unsure what the future holds? Drinking too much coffee? Drinking too much alcohol? Relapsed on cigarettes? Missing your friends? Not sure how to deal with you and your partner working from home? SAME. I asked my cousin, Ashley, the PhD, to sit down and talk with me…
You know when you meet someone, and instantly just feel you’ll have a connection with them forever? Yeah, that wasn’t the case with Tim… he was fine – average, really. Kind of bland personality, real monotone sounding, not funny at all. But then he started really ingratiating himself into the Judd Apatow culture, recalling quotable…
Who better to interview for Thanksgiving week than Marney Henze? That’s a rhetorical question, obviously… Marney is one of my favorite people and I’m beyond flattered she sat down to share a snippet of her story with us, because she’s truly a beacon of light. We “met” in eighth grade, and by met, I mean…
I connected with Arielle on the Girlboss platform last month about our love for dance; she, however, had a much different trajectory than I did with the sport, which you’ll learn about in our interview. Arielle is currently double majoring in dance and health science at Chapman University and naturally, would like to pursue a…
I’ve gone back and forth about the importance of identifying the relationship between the interviewer and the interviewee… is it important to know whether there’s a connection? Whether they’ve known each other for a while? And for how long? Ultimately, after reading an Issa Rae interview between her and a close friend, I decided yes,…
