This week, TMV welcomes icon and role model Chrissy Rutherford to the pod! Chrissy is a living embodiment of everything the girls love: an editorial and social media legend with over 12 years in the industry who also champions mental health and cofounded 2BG Consulting with fellow editor Danielle Prescod to consult for fashion and beauty brands (along with influencers) on how to implement anti-racist communication strategies. Her career is so impressive that naturally the girl’s spent little-to-no time covering it. Instead, they got to know Chrissy’s thoughts on:<ul><li>Self discovery and personal development as a lifelong journey </li><li>Operating on your own timeline and finding peace within yourself (rather than external sources)</li><li>How her family reacts to her open vulnerability of their family dynamics online </li><li>Where anxiety meets spirituality from life lessons to meditation</li></ul> ALL THINGS CHRISSY:<a href="https://www.chrissyrutherford.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.chrissyrutherford.com/</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/chrissyford/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/chrissyford/</a>Chrissy’s newsletter archive: <a href="https://www.chrissyrutherford.com/fwdjoy" rel="nofollow">https://www.chrissyrutherford.com/fwdjoy</a>Sign up for Chrissy’s newsletter: <a href="https://www.chrissyrutherford.com/newsletter" rel="nofollow">https://www.chrissyrutherford.com/newsletter</a> Also follow us (don’t let Gaby’s asana calendar live in vain) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsmayvarypod" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsmayvarypod</a> DISCLAIMER: We are not licensed professionals.

This week, Gaby vulnerably and generously shares her thoughts on her experience at the Hoffman Process (a week-long healing retreat of transformation and development for people who feel stuck in their life). As a Hoffman legacy, she knew this therapy bootcamp would as expected as going to college in her family, but she always stood firm on going on her own terms. And thankfully so, for this very life-changing time spent at Hoffman became what she decided to publicly share about (despite the stigma) on one beloved mental health blog - The Local Optimist - while Meadow was still managing it. And the rest is history. Also follow us (don’t let Gaby’s asana calendar live in vain)https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsmayvarypod DISCLAIMER: We are not licensed professionals.

This week’s Thought is a post-holiday catch up between the girls as they both unpack their same resolution - to own their spiritual power. This episode is even more “woo woo” than usual as the girls mainly speak about the dynamics between spirituality and mental health and their recent experiences speaking to an intuitive worker.  Also follow us (don’t let Gaby’s asana calendar live in vain) https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsmayvarypod DISCLAIMER: We are not licensed professionals.

The-three-best-friends-that-anyone-could-have all met each other in the lonely summer of 2020 and have blossomed into the healthiest and happiest friendships ever since. So naturally, this episode the girls/besties wanted to share the gift of Maddi with the world - the side the internet isn’t privy to, despite being a Youtube sensation since age 12. This conversation we chat about Maddi’s thoughts on:<ul><li>Being forced to grow up quickly while unintentionally falling into the public eye </li><li>Why she left the internet and how she found herself in food (plus how she’s feeling being back on the internet have you seen these woman’s vlogs they are the safest sweetest place on the internet)</li><li>A q&amp;a from y’all about all things friendships: from break ups to boundaries and even Maddi’s guide to her Solo Saturday confidence </li></ul> ALL THINGS MADDI:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maddibragg/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MaddiBraggisback Also follow us (don’t let Gaby’s asana calendar live in vain) https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsmayvarypod DISCLAIMER: We are not licensed professionals.

THOUGHT 10: Maddi Bragg’s Thoughts on Friendships, Leaving the Internet (and returning), and Her Spiritual Glow-Up

Three best friends sit down to talk all things sex. You’re welcome. This week’s thought features the pod’s resident sex fairy, Meadow’s long-time bff, Gaby’s new(ish) bff, and founder of the best underwear company in the world b.WR, Sara Shokouhi. From the brand’s birth-story and it’s sexual wellness roots to pity fucking, slut-shaming, why Gaby refuses to have mediocre sex and why Sara deserves an award for never faking an orgasm—no topic is off limits. Because that’s the whole point, isn’t it? To cultivate enough of an approachable and (hopefully) educational narrative around a very basic and primal need.  Plus, the girls unpack why anger may just be their best motivator (sounds super healthy) and deprogramming cultural stigmas while Sara poses the valuable question: how are we expected to be fully functional sexual beings if we’re never taught anything and what we are potentially taught is dripping in shame? Get ready for quite the listen and join the girls on their quest to debunk the myth that the person you marry will inventively be shitty in bed.  ALL THINGS SARA:Allow us to introduce you to your new favorite underwear: https://wearbwr.com/Follow Sara: https://www.instagram.com/sarayoz/Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsmayvarypod/ CONTENT WARNING: If the first five seconds of this episode aren&#39;t indicator enough, probably be intentional about who you play this episode around.

Friend, entrepreneur, model, and pilates instructor - Tasha Franken - joins Gaby and Meadow for Thought 07 where the three begin to scratch the surface on the mind-body connection.  Tasha’s thoughts move from her experience healing with an eating disorder, to her “scout story”, to how the phrase ‘do what feels good’ is extremely irritating when you can’t trust yourself yet or don’t understand how to connect with your body, to the potential for someone to discover her long lost journals and make millions with a tell-all.  ALL THINGS TASHA:Find Tasha&#39;s studio and amazing pilates classes here: https://www.tashafranken.tv/Follow Tasha: https://www.instagram.com/tashafranken/Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsmayvarypod/ CONTENT WARNING: Today&#39;s thought discusses eating disorders at length (but not in detail) including touching on aspects like dieting, body image, juice cleanses, etc. If those subjects feel activating to you in any way, or if you’re just not in the place today, feel free to come back to us next week.

This week’s Thought is a big one. Meadow, as a mental health professional and suicide loss survivor (the girls unpack it, it’s a counterintuitive term they know), shares her personal story and all the tools, tips, and resources she has accumulated in an effort to make suicide prevention less scary. They cover thoughts around Meadow losing her brother, how to have an &#39;are you suicidal?&#39; conversation, and everything suicide prevention related that should be covered in our public education by now. Again, Meadow is not a licensed therapist, but a mental health worker who worked in non-profits within the Behavioral Healthcare System for many years.

For Thought 04, the girls are joined by their friend and gifted author, Cole Brown. The three discuss thoughts on: being Black in white spaces, how to move through identity formation when people project narratives onto you, separating Cole the person from Cole the character, and the dichotomy between caring so much about your words and art.Cole also dives into his the thoughts behind his work, touching on the cowriting process of working on Matt James&#39; (the first Black Bachelor) new book as well as the dichotomy between caring so much about his words only to relinquish creative control while turning it into a TV show (yeah, Greyboy was picked up by ABC Signature and Yara Shahidi&#39;s 7th Sun production company with Cole as an Executive Producer.)

This Throwback Thursday (don’t worry, we know it’s Monday), we’re going back in time briefly to when summer was just turning into fall. The girls got on a call to unpack their summer baggage and reflect on their brief podcasting hiatus. Their unfiltered stream-of-consciousness takes you on a journey from thoughts surrounding: consciously choosing confidence each morning to being single for the first time since forming a healthy self-identity to an obligatory gush over their friendship to gaby reading from her journal to diagnosing random skin ailments and discussing their self-prescribed treatment.
