Respectfully, No Miranda the Poet | Ashley Gredzinski

Ever wonder what it would be like to attend a naked dinner party? Well, do we have a story for you! Ashley talks about her experience attending an LA naked dinner party as a part of an incredible introspective healing process. From breath work to personal discovery to wildflower salads, we get into the whole point of shedding the outside and being in our natural form. Naked dinner party review!

We wanted to lighten it up a bit! Let's talk about joy. What is currently bringing us joy? Well, fan fiction, Taylor Swift, staying out on school nights, hair charms, and reality TV, obviously. Amongst a myriad of other things, we want to give space to talk about the little and big joys of life. We invite you to reflect on what's making you laugh, smile, and nerd out with this episode about joy.

This episode is the definition of a mental breakdown. We spent so much time this week really diving into the vulnerability around not knowing anything, not believing in ourselves, and what beliefs we hold. We spend so much time in our young lives being conditioned to think a certain way and have a certain worldview that as we do the hard work internally, the paradigm shifts. We need to decide if we are going to think the way we always have... or change. Can we really rely on anything external to bring us joy or is it all about loving yourself instead? Come have some serious existential crises with us!

You ever look around and wonder how on earth did we get here? That's what we did on this episode! We decided to pick 5 moments, events, things that happened to us in our lives that made us who we are. Without these moments, we aren't us. Take some time to think about your life timeline, pick out your defining moments, as we look at our identities and ask... what defines us?

CW: body dysmorphia
We are BACK. This episode we are unpacking our skin suits, our vessels, what we can see in the mirror... Our relationship with our bodies is not always consistent, but boy, are we trying. Reframing how to view ourselves and how to take care of ourselves in a post-90s magazine cover era is tricky, and we are here to talk about all of it. Yay, bodies!

Surprise...We have a cohost! Welcome Ashley to the Respectfully, No team! We are relaunching the podcast to be all about deconstructing and saying no to ideas, beliefs, relationships, and parts of ourselves that do not serve us. We invite you to be a part of our vulnerability, and remember that in this work, there is no failing here.
