    Navigating Healthcare, Travel, and Choices: A Conversation with Emily Scott

    Two Dusty Travelers: COVID Front Lines, L&D Mistrust, and Choosing a Childfree Life Joy and Claire hosts Emily Scott (Two Dusty Travelers), an RN known for caring for the first diagnosed hospitalized COVID patient in the U.S., to discuss how her platform evolved beyond “the COVID lady” and how politics and misinformation have fueled distrust in healthcare. Emily, now a labor and delivery nurse with a background in peace studies and global health work in East Africa, describes rising patient suspicion since 2020, including refusal of newborn hepatitis B vaccination, vitamin K, and other standard care, and notes anti-vax sentiment even among some nurses. They discuss the difficulty of changing minds at scale versus through long one-on-one conversations, the pressures and taboos around being childfree by choice and parental regret, and gaps in pain management for IUD insertion. Emily shares hope as sustained effort plus balance, and highlights Tanzania as a favorite destination, inviting interest in her group trips and naming Namibia as a future goal. 02:37 Politics and Online Unfollows 03:54 From Global Health to L&D 05:10 Mistrust in Healthcare Now 06:43 Newborn Shots and Misinformation 08:07 Wild Hospital Stories 12:06 Anti Vax Nurses and Vaccine Clinics 13:55 Bridging the Gap with Skeptics 16:41 Childfree by Choice Conversation 25:09 Pressure, Regret, and Nuance 28:51 Sliding Doors and What Ifs 33:19 Childfree Without Shame 33:44 TikTok Narratives and Stigma 34:46 Pop Culture and TV Time 35:43 Why Romance Feels Safe 37:49 Spicy Talk and Sex Ed Gaps 38:50 IUD Pain Control Reality 44:17 Labor Stories and Trusting Bodies 45:23 Home Birth vs Hospital Birth 49:21 Hope and Fighting Burnout 54:27 East Africa Travel Plans 57:05 Wrap Up and Where to Find Us

    Life Updates: Heat, Mindfulness, and Travel Plans

    Moab Heat, Busy Spring Travel, Mindfulness, and Protein-Obsessed Expo West Joy and Claire catch up on Moab’s early heat, a recent snowstorm, and packed spring schedules including Arizona, Peru, river trips, and work travel. Claire recaps attending Expo West in Anaheim, meeting David Fitzpatrick at Disneyland for ice cream, and a stressful return trip involving a sprinting airport connection and a tiny flight back to Moab. They pivot to a Q&A on favorite times of day and desserts, then discuss goals for the year. They reflect on concussion/whiplash recovery, long-term “physical 401k” health, shifting body-image perspectives, and concerns about normalizing extreme thinness. They preview upcoming episodes on financial planning, estate planning, and being childless by choice, and close with Expo West trends like protein/creatine in everything, cottage-cheese ice cream, fiber products, and skepticism about AG1 in favor of comprehensive multivitamins. 00:00 Moab Heat Check 01:14 Snow Days and Busy March 02:47 Expo West and Disneyland Ice Cream 03:55 Small Airports and Sprinting Connections 06:32 Sweaty Travel and Heat Rants 08:48 Q and A Kickoff Favorites 09:47 Dogs Dinner Witching Hour 12:38 Goals Workouts and Mountain Biking 15:28 Mindfulness and Travel Anxiety 18:42 What Mindfulness Really Is 21:08 Why Worry Persists 22:14 Mindfulness Practice Tools 23:17 Concussion Recovery Lessons 25:13 Physical Health Bank 26:30 Training Frustrations Mindset 29:58 Body Image Aging Shift 31:21 Ozempic Culture Concerns 33:08 Celebrity Health Discourse 38:31 Upcoming Money Episodes 40:45 Expo West Supplement Hype 42:38 AG1 vs Real Multivitamins 47:02 Eat Real Food Wrap 47:44 Final Sign Off

    March Milestones

    March Check-In: Lifties, Social Media Burnout, Dog Hair Hacks, Moab’s Ageless Party Scene & Love Is Blind Ohio Joy and Claire celebrate reaching March! They discuss stepping back from social media—especially TikTok—due to overwhelming news cycles, algorithm/terms concerns, and the unnatural pressure to broadcast constant reactions, preferring fact-based sources and recommending Pantsuit Politics’ State of the Union recap. The conversation shifts to practical home life: kids’ laundry-folding boards, constant vacuuming with multiple dogs, Roombas, grooming and shedding tips, and dental care products. Claire describes Moab’s intergenerational, highly active culture after a themed birthday dance party, then Joy gives a spoiler-filled recap of the new Love Is Blind Ohio season, focusing on a disliked contestant and doubts most couples will last. 00:00 Hello March 00:16 Liftie Horror Stories 01:19 Why Skiers Complain 03:19 Bad Snow Season Update 04:07 Quitting TikTok for Now 06:49 Social Media Reaction Spiral 09:56 Mixed Messaging and Gaslighting 11:24 Watching the State of the Union 14:43 Laundry Folding Boards 16:23 Dog Hair and Vacuum Life 17:04 Feeling Bad for the Roomba 19:48 De-Shedding Dog Wash Tips 21:44 Dog Bathing Tips 22:40 Managing Fur Everywhere 24:01 Laundry Hair Hacks 25:50 Dental Care Routine 26:25 Moab Age Vibes 32:58 Dance Party DJ Fails 33:46 Love Is Blind Recap 40:51 Why We Watch Trainwreck TV 43:16 Wrap Up And Where To Find Us
