What it’s like to walk in her shoes for a day…
I have three different types of days. Days where I have to go be a doctor and see patients, days where I get to be an author/speaker/podcaster/coach from home, and days off. Since the majority of my days are spent in category two, that’s what I’ll describe.
I wake up without an alarm. I’m pretty well trained to get around eight hours of sleep. I get up and check my OURA ring which tells me about my overall state of health and readiness. Then I do some foam rolling, breathwork, meditation, and finally hit the gym.
After the gym I may sit in my personal infared sauna while either reading (on a good day) or making the requisite inatagram post for the day (on most days, if I’m being honest. Still trying to outsource that one!)
PS. I’m going to leave out how many times I eat. Just know it’s many! But I don’t cook, so lunch and dinner are the same every day, which I have prepared by a friend and delivered on Mondays. I. Do. Not. Cook.
The next four to five hours are spent either recording podcasts (interviewing people for mine or being interviewed for others’ shows), preparing a podcast to go out (I do my own graphics and show notes/web pages), doing a Facebook live “Quit of the Week,” posting in my facebook group (Quitopia), marketing my podcast episodes through social media, responding to coaching queries, applying for speaking gigs, preparing talks, and building relationships.
At night I try to socialize or relax or work on one of my hobbies. I may go to yoga, practice the bass or guitar or percussion, salsa dance, do henna, crochet, or make super ridiculous videos. In the most recent one I did a version of the Charlie Brown’s Christmas dance scene where I played all the characters. It fell squarely into the “so bad it’s good” category. I’m also trying to go to more open mics to sing and play and generally decrease my hermit-hood.
Then I’m generally in bed by 10:30, ready to do it all again.

Growing up in her shoes she was…
My parents are huge fans of mine and I could really do no wrong at home. They wanted me to be excellent in school. Everything else was just icing after that. However, I was a total fail at making friends at school. Socially-awkward, not athletic, super nerdy. Not a great recipe for popularity.

Flashbulb Memories…
My life is generally one ridiculously inexplicable occurrence after another. I’ve been chased across a stage by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith while dressed like a chimney sweep, I won the lottery in fourth grade, I’ve played the Vans Warped Tour, and I accidentally hit Mike Tyson once in Vegas. But the most outrageous of all the stories would be that time in 2016 I was caught crying at the Democratic National Convention in footage that later ended up on CNN, MSNBC, The Today Show, the View, the Daily Show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and Saturday Night Live.
There was much ado about this crying stint at the time because it also ended up as a meme and then on a few Trump ads (not my finest moment). And most of 2017 was quiet on the ugly cry front. But a few months ago a post appeared on my Facebook page that just said “Did you know you’re in a Fahrenheit 11/9?”
What?
I hadn’t heard of the Michael Moore movie, so I was super lost. But upon further investigation, it was true. The old footage had been brought back to life. Fast forward about three months and I got another text yesterday asking if I had been at the 2016 DNC…to which I responded, “Yes. Shall I assume you just watched Fahrenheit 11/9?” Of course he had. The funny thing is, I still haven’t. If I wanna see myself ugly cry, I have a mirror and basically any Pixar film.
But that kind of sums it up. Small-town midwestern girl ends up in fairly unbelievable situations. Then life goes back to normal. A normal that looks very much unlike most others’ version: no kids, no roommate, no cooking, no partner (YET!), a ten hour a week job, and approximately a thousand hobbies.
