Mimi Minsky is a talented writer and storyteller I’ve been following on Instagram and gain a lot from her perspectives and thoughts. Mimi shares how the loss of her brother as a young child shaped her development as a teenager and then as an adult. She talks about how she struggled with an eating disorder as a teenager and young adult. She delves into her journey of healing and how this eating disorder experience had a part in shaping her, but it’s not a part of who she is today. We also talk about how, in general, it’s essential to realize that our experiences definitely have a part in shaping us, but they don’t have to be a part of our identity. Mimi shares her healing journey and her perspective on plant-based medicine and alternative healing methodologies. She talks about the concept of grief and how it took many years of healing for her to truly feel the grief and, for it to be released at an unexpected time, and more!

She talks about being comfortable in her own skin, not caring what other people think of her, and how she developed healthy boundaries contrary to how she was raised. Ricki shares why she initially began posting on Instagram and sharing her life, advice for protecting yourself and your boundaries if you’re going through loss or grief, how to be there for your friend who’s going through loss, why she started sharing her infertility journey and how she wants singles to feel included and seen. We talk about people projecting their feelings and discomfort onto others and the concept of being comfortable being uncomfortable. Ricki shares her advice for what to do in uncomfortable situations, the people we remember with love and positivity when we’re going through struggles, and how you can become one of those people. Ricki also talks about why you don’t owe anyone an explanation, how no one wants to be pitied, and how she gets herself out of a heavy space when needed.
