Existence is a podcast about being alive. Each episode starts with a *contemplation* - something to think about as you go about your day (or write about in your journal) and ends with a breathing/meditation/movement practice. In the middle of all that, I talk about my own journeys- through my eating disorder to recovery, through the suicide of a parent, as a recovered addict and alcoholic, as a former homeless person, as a yoga teacher and nanny, as a nonbinary person who is coded by society as a woman, and as a writer trying to make my way in the world. I talk about myself as a way into accepting ourselves— all of us. I'll also talk about things I'm interested in, from cycling to Criterion films to music to books to plants to outer space...you get the point. Come along with me.
